I have been watching Mike's videos for a while. He is an excellent player as well

Helped me a lot this past month improving my PvP skills!

My stats have improved substantially, my kd has gone from 1.1 to 1.6 on clash and still increasing. My DTR was on 15 and now sits on 25

See I told you you'd enjoy Crucible.

You are right, I wish they had elimination always on the playlist. I think it is the closest thing to search and destroy.

Need to practice more though! Wanna try getting to the lighthouse again this weekend

Good luck !! I'll have to put some time into TOO soon.
I got my DTR rating up to 20 from 6 since I started playing properly.

well, last night took me back to my first days doing Crota and Atheon. 3 hours on PoE35 and failure. Sorry Nocal and Abuses! Captain room took an age to get done, and best we got was half way down on Skolas. Given the other two lads have got it done before I think we can see what the problem was!

Did my first succesful Skolas yesterday, after a failed run a few weeks back. Got through relatively quickly. Then the best player in the group went off to do another run with two other guys. Was a definate improvement on my fireteam but they got stuck for ages on it. You do need a bit of luck (or possibly a small drunken dwarf). Used Skolas as an excuse to start using the ghallahorn - now I have two. :P

Might give it another go if I can round up two Skolas killers to help me again. Fingers crossed.

I actually found it ok when doing it with Bohrio and Sniper. You just need to get into a rhythm as Abuses said. I was transferring the taint at about 3-5 seconds just to allow us have as much time as possible between transfers. You do need one experienced person (Bohrio) to tell you when to rotate to the other side and you need a bit of luck with the mines too (not being shot out of their etc)

Yup I am a big fan of rotating. We did not do enough rotating yesterday.

As I said - usually if you are thinking should we rotate, it is too late. But also, you all have to go together and use the same route. This way the adds tend to filter in towards you in a better way.

You can "make your own luck" with the mines. Use heavy to clear out adds when they spawn, and use your heavy to back up a team mate who is trying to clear a mine.

Hit a bit of a lull personally, shortly before the HoW content. Played a lot since. Having the feeling I'm getting tired again. Someone mentioned you can only get the Hopscotch Pilgrim from level 28 strikes. Ground through a few yesterday and will probably continue on in this vein for a while. September seems a long way away.

If it wasnt for my NEED to do PoE35, i'd probably not be logging in at all.

But i do NEED it. So I will continue to play until it is done. Maybe tonight, maybe some point next week.

^ I've never once been called cool and I have the emblem..... through no hard work of my own granted.

so which experienced Skolas killers want to waste their night trying to kill Skolas with me tonight? Two attempts so far with no completion. Tempting? eh?

Control?

Want to get skolas done this week, so i can focus on getting the last few golden chests.

Haven't done a proper Skolas run yet. All I need to get the new Malibu Stacey hat for TTK release. Is there weeks where there's urn on final round for Skolas? Surely one of those weeks is the one to go for?

There's no burns on Skolas anymore.

Fyi ALL Trials map will be in rotation this week.

Also new patch next week increasing the drop rate for the Husk and adding the Nepal apeal rewards.

Looking through my vault yesterday and found a 300 Pretorian Foil. Ages since I used it. Impact is crazy, has five bullets in the mag with the lower 1/2 doing bonus damage. 365'd it immediately and it's pretty good. Hoping once they buff the fusions it will be good for IB. For now it's just going to be my oracle killer.

PF is the rarests of drops in VoG. Can 1 shot oracles on hard! great weapon

Yeah we were talking about it yesterday. I'm one of the few in our group with it. Few of the lads viewed it and we now have to run VOG Oracles Hard to try and get more of them.

I believe I've seen PF drop at the templar.
