10. YOUR OWN

Take a moment to break from instructional manuals and how too videos. Destiny mods offer you a chance to build around yourself; use a weapon you like or a subclass. It's fun to learn to pair, stack, exploit for your fun and benefit. Sure, builds are great as a guide and even a goal; but a lot of people won't have the requirements, so modify, adapt overcome and most of all have fun.
