On level 28 with fully upgraded exotic helm, and normal legendary chest and gauntlets. Have two defence upgrades left for boots, if I upgrade the boots I'll get to level 29. Is there any point though? Should I try and get in on a raid and look for armour from that instead?

It's kind of a tricky one, you can't get level 30 without raid gear, yet you can't do the Hard Raid on anything below level 29 IMHO, so you're damned if you do, damned if you don't. If you are willing to try this weeks raid 1st on Normal, see if you get a Raid Armour drop, if you do, upgrade that to high hell, if you don't just upgrade your current gear. You'll still need to farm shards regardless

Im in the same boat. Iv 20 shards in the bank waiting to be spent, and armor slots waiting to be upgraded.

Hold out for the raid gear? Or take the plunge, max out the legendarys and farm more shards later?

What did everyone else do at this point?

You're only gonna get to put your faith in RNJesus once a week in the raid. Run the raid an if you get armour from it, prioritise that, if not, either have another weeks patience or start upgrading your Helm 1st, as apparently Raid Helms are only available on Hard mode

You can get to lvl 30 using an exotic Helm though, so its just everything else I need.

Would you believe I still haven't finished the raid yet? Every time im in a group that gets to Atheon, real life interrupts. Surely this week Il clear it

Nightfall's very hard this week

worth a read: http://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/2jvjbc/soloing_this_weeks_nightfall_the_summoning_pits/

Finally finished the Nightfall, and the Weekly. Ugh.

If you have Gjallarhorn with the Wolfpack rounds, that's your ticket to deal with the pesky Wizards that spawn with the 3rd wave. Took them down right sharpish. Everything else fairly straightforward, take your time and pick off the Knights and other trash spawn.

For Phogoth, I stayed in the room before the last room ( where you enter the arena), sneaking forward to get off a couple of shots with Patience & Time, then retreating. You can go in to the right corner of the 2nd room and shoot him through the gap then, going forward to kite him back to where he can be shot from the 2nd room. When mobs come just pick them off. I am a Hunter, so the Invisibilty perk is invaluable for scouting out the enemies position and picking up ammo.

Ended up getting the Monte Carlo, which I have already. Free Ascendant energy :P

For the weekly, I went to the rock spot instead, as the penalty for failure isn't a boot to orbit.

Nothing new about that, Gandalph and I used that method for the Thorn Strike a few weeks ago, which is easily the hardest normal strike in the game due to having the Epic modifier on and no burns to help increase damage.

New to me, just read it here today. Never had need of it before I guess, will be handy for the nightfall now though.

Best way to do it is to play it with a team of 29/30s.

That's how I got my raid helmet on my 27 warlock (on hard).

You can run the raid in normal if you are level 26/27 without a problem as long as your team knows what they are doing.

You running the nightfall tonight? I'll be on around 7 for an hour or so

Its a hard one I have to say but that cheese spot makes it all possible!!

Sounds good. I'm 29 now so should be ok. You on about the middle room where you can snipe from ?

Yes

Only place I can be as I am one shot one kill by everyone

Got The Devil You Know hand cannon fron RNGesus yesterday. Unfortunately I am absolutely atrocious at using them.

Exotic bounties are a waste of time imo, by the time you've done it you'll already have the guns you need in all likelihood.

I really wish it didn't take up a standard bounty slot.

Hard mode?

I think I'll have to give it a miss this evening. Can only stay online until around 7.30 then have to head back to work for a bit.

Want to give me a porphy a hand with the nightfall failsafe ?

FAILSAFE 00 wrote: »

Yes, what time?

Start around 7 ? Maybe a little earlier ?

Guys don't bother with your Toland's Legacy bounty as Bad Juju is probably the worst exotic on the market, you might as well be firing marshmallows at your target and the instant reload is horrible to get use to. It's the first weapon I maxed out and I am sorry I did as I haven't touched it since.

Just maxed out my Vex Mythoclast, for supposedly the most prestigious gun in the game, it's pretty sh1t. The large magazine and solar damage is the only thing keeping me interested along with the fact bungie said they will buff it again, but at the moment it's not worth the exotic space in your load-out.

Thanks - I play mostly PvP and currently use a blue auto rifle which has done me good service. Any purple/yellow auto rifles I should be looking out for or a pulse/scout with a decent fire rate?

Suros Regime is the gun for pvp.

This weeks strike is hard, so we might start at around 6.30 if possible just in case

I might be able to get on by then. If not I'll be on as soon as possible.
