Destiny (Bungie)

Raid:

I wouldn't say there is a preferred class for the very 1st part, all 6 abilities are handy in different ways, essentially it's just a kill zone so if you can stay together and kill thralls and revive each other it's not so bad.

For the 2nd part we had 3 Sunsingers and 3 Defenders, 1 of each on each area, with the Warlocks taking the sword across the bridge one at a time. We only got as far as having 3 get across the bridge before we had to call it a night.

It took the bones of and hour just to understand the mechanics of what was happening in that 2nd part and another while to develop a strategy for it.

Dunno if i'll be online tonight to continue it as I might have to give the missus some attention

1st Part

"Hole" go left "Hole" Go Right was being screamed the whole way through. We had
two defenders with Armour of Light. You definately need at least one. Hunters
kept spamming orbs & shields were up more or less 100%

2nd Part

The guys worked out what was going on. I just spent all the time
defending the left spike. Got pretty good at that but haven't been across
the bridge yet. Fortunately I've plenty of unemployed/foreign team mates who
will be higher than lvl 30 for tonight

Why sunsingers ? Revive?

Ah, in work so cant watch a video. Can you give me a quick explanation?

Edit: lol, never mind. Just checked that on the phone, Youtube is blocked here so all I saw was a blank space

Yes + Spamming Solar AOE Grenades, if I had known the routes better I could have literally created a path of 8 grenades between each Lamp/Light, Thralls etc will not voluntarily move into an AOE grenade

For the 2nd part, if you send the sun singers over 1st, instead of just hiding or killing responding mobs after they down the gatekeeper, actually let the enemies kill u on the other side in a central kind of area (just outside the "bridge circle") and then wait for the next Warlock to come up, if they DON'T kill the gatekeeper, you can self res and get up, grab the sword and finish him, then they in turn can stay down and not use self res yet and do it for the 3rd warlock.

Kind of hard to explain, but your essentially staying down and waiting to use self res until absolutely necessary by biding your time

Really tempting to read up on the raid......

I read an interesting alternate tactic, where this is switched around. Basically 3 sunsingers on the 1st side, and when 3 get across, then the 3 sunsingers, kill themselves, and then the ogre spawns, and then they revive themselves and help using snipers from across the way. Can probably use the platforms you can jump on to snipe from. Could also potentially use just one sun singer, with revive, who can revive the others after using self revive, but the other side guys will be without sniper support for a little longer.

What is the best way to use weapon telemetries?

Completed one of the new bounties yesterday and got a fusion telemetry as a reward. Is it just a case of activating it and racking up kills or would you get maximum gain by cashing in multiple bounties?

Finish 10 5000xp bounties, have the nightfall done then activate the telemetry then go kill stuff for the remainder of the time.

5000xp X 10 bounties X 1,25 Nightfall bonus X 1.5 Telemetry bonus = 93750 XP

I'm not sure the Nightfall and Telemetry bonus are as above but gives you an idea.

Cheers, I want to purchase the new chest armor that the crucible vendor is selling but need to earn a few more points, rank up and get a commendation first which means racking up the bounties.

Will give this a go when they're ready to be cashed in. Not the end of the world missing out on a few fusion rifle upgrades but then again if there is a smarter way to do it then why not...

Do it during your daily as well so your daily XP will apply across everything.

Yea I'd usually turn in the bounties pick up a few extras then run the daily if its a short one and get the xp that way.

Benzino got it in a Nightfall drop, we went and did the exclusive PS4 (level 20, never gonna be a weekly/nightfall, content-less, context-less, walk up so stairs & kill a hydra, surprised if I ever play it a 2nd time) strike for the laugh, pretty sure we had it finished by the time he reloaded a 2nd time :pac:

Pretty much had to take out some gunpowder and a shimmy it not the barrell.

Haha, the reload time is ridiculous. There is a perk to reload faster, but I'm not sure if that will only reduce the time it takes to change mag, or the time between shots.

I recorded the first time using it, probably an entertaining watch haha.

RAID

Crota himself is Level 32 and even the 1st clan to finish it needed a level 31 to beat that point. Apparently it is nigh on impossible with 6x30s, might just put the raid on the back foot for a few days and see if I can hit 31 by the weekend

Really? Well, I can probably manage 31 for the weekend, have 2 pieces of vanguard armour, and enough to buy the chest, and a commendation. Will have to get a crucible commendation, and can buy a helmet from one of the faction vendors, as I am not sure I will have enough marks to get the vanguard helmet after the weekly limit. If Xur has a warlock exotic helmet upgrades (or one of the new DLC ones) on Friday, may go for that.

Have more than enough shards etc. Will have to work on upgrading the the new legendaries I have as well. Just need a heavy now.

BTW, does anyone know if you get a crucible commendation for leveling a faction?

Generic Dreadhead

More Raid Info and Spoilers (including a possible cheese for the 1st area)

I think I'm gonna leave this until Xur appears on Friday and I can see what way my armour falls:

Got a 33 Light DLC Chest Piece from an engram from the Nightfall
I have 400 marks
I have a commendation already
I have 4 exotic warlock armours (2 leveled chest+arms, 2 unleveled helm+chest)

So once I know what Exotic I can re-roll, I can just buy whatever else I'm missing, even if that means spending 270 Marks (possible max), It doesn't bother me too much as I almost ALWAYS hit the 100 weekly Crucible cap and usually get around 60+ VG Marks a week too so I won't have to wait to replenish those.

Also I want to have a 332/323 Damage Weapon ready to rock when I re-try, Timurs Lash is great but my one is only 280 damage, I want to use a hand cannon but I never levelled The Last Word or Thorn (I was planning to until last weeks announcement),

So if you see me online for like 20 hours banging XP into my armour and re-rolled exotics, feel free to drop by and say hello :pac:

Ive ran out of shards already from re-rolling my gear.

I get some what excited to lvl my gear, really enjoy doing the mind-numbing patrols and stuff when I'm lvling my gear, feel like there is a purpose to it.

Any one interested in VoG(Normal/hard) during the week to bounce up on Shards?

Let me know and ping me on this or XB1 chat - BeanBagJohnny

Keep it, one of the bounties today requires one of Eris' class items.

Not tonight I'd say, gonna try and help a mate hit 27, get my alt hunter to 27 (gonna grind me some crucible) and take him and any other 27s through it sometime (maybe at the weekend), should be some laugh doing it with 27s and new people alike (maybe get murphebass in on the action).

Will probably run it on Hard with my main warlock at the weekend too (just to try for Arc Primary and Vex Myth)

I've a mate looking to run VOG at level 27 as well. Never done it before. Be interested in jumping in with you guys but Friday is the only night we could do it. 12 pubs on Sat :pac:

Benzino

The hunter's cloak from Eris is possibly the worst looking cloak in the whole game. Cramping my style!

murphyebass

Thanks for the games lads. I got a legendary scout rifle in one of the games. Delighted at that!

What were playing though strikes yeah?

Edit... Looked them up on the destiny app. Loved the first map which I'm assuming is a new one as I've never played it before.

I had to go at the end to feed the baby.
