We ran hard mode last night and finished it. Got a 320 sniper which i will be putting into the black spindle.

I am not sure what is going on tonight yet. It's my son's birthday and i think we are going to be out for awhile. Will play it by ear.

What is your light level now? My titan is 316 and lock is 308 so I'm about ready to start doing hm on the warlock.

Guess I need to make a hunter. Already have a few exotics for him like the bones of aeo? and a helm and gloves.

I am only a 303. I never get drops outside of Fragments. when I beat Orx last time I got two primaries. No armor. First run I got the shell and artifact. Still waiting on a 310 helm and a heavy.

If you guys have a bunch of 315+s I can be sherpaed

Enjoy the sons birthday!

Ahh I see, you're on ps4 right? I can help out if you want me to some time.

I actually went and re did it in regular mode last night. When it came up as the heroic story the other day I remembered it was about the only thing I had to skip during leveling. As I suspected, that point where they rush me at end of the third wave must be programmed as after dealing with that, it got rather easy to finish.

Not sure i'll be playing much more till the weekend, will add a couple names then to see who is also on. Just got my level into the 250's.

I see yeah I'm cmdrdredd on PSN and I think you're about at the level where you should grind out strike playlists for gear.

What is your guys' go-to crucible weapon?

I see many (including good friends) still dependent on TLW and Thorn.

My PvP crutch is Grasp of Malok (Omnigul Strike Pulse Rifle). I didn't realize this until last week, but the Aim Assist is outrageously high on this pulse rifle. If anyone hasn't done the Omnigul farming glitch, DO IT! Grasp of Malok is by far one of the best PvP weapons.

The ideal rolls: Headseeker OR Full Auto, Braced Frame, Glass Half Full.

I do see many MIDA users (very high aim assist as well lol). The Suros DIS-47 is quite fun but I have yet to get a PvP roll.

On a different topic: I've been comparing Touch of Malice and No Time to Explain for strikes. I found that as a Titan Defender (Blessing of Light) allows the Touch of Malice to be fired at 1 bullet very easily to since it only takes health from the overshield.

When as a Warlock or Hunter, I am able to do much more damage with the No Time to Explain since I cannot use the exotic perk on Touch of Malice for very long. I often will use NTTE or Bad Juju unless I am a Titan.

I cannot recommend ToM + Blessing of Light enough. It feels like a complete exploit at times. 2 Helm of Saint 14 Titans + Blessing + ToM = complete PvE devastation.

I am also still trying to get a good roll on a KF Pulse. It would be awesome to get one with firefly and braced frame. With the Year 1 content soon to become relevant again, I have been playing Destiny more and more. I still hate all the garbage year 2 perks... You know which ones they are

With a party Friday night I forgot about and time to start doing first yardwork of the year. Did not manage too much time in game this weekend. Did do enough to push my level to about 265. Probably going to just skip doing bounties outside of those I can get done in strikes until i've at least passed the 280 point, XP doesn't seem that effective unless you've got worthwhile gear to upgrade.

How hard is the heroic strikes? What level do they become enjoyably do-able?


Any read details of the stuff supposedly coming next month, anything exciting?

Finally finished HM oryx on my warlock last night. 4th try over the week with 4 different groups. Last night took 1.5 hours just for oryx, but we finally got him.

First it was the runner who was having issues. Then the titan who kills the 4th knight kept dying and/or missing the knight. Then someone would run into the shade orb and die. Stupid little stuff kept happening. Finally we pulled it all together and beat him on our last try (announced before the try).

Just in time for the reset!

I took a break from Destiny for some months so I haven't tried the raid yet. Now that I bought a new TV (Sony XBR55X850C) I might try and find a group on LFG or here to give it a go. I've got a Warlock with 291 light.

This weekend may suck for having time to play, but did get a couple hours of strikes in tonight and snagged a couple purp and blue upgrades putting me into the upper 270's.

Iron Banner and PVP

I suck at PVP. There, I said it. I can't aim with a controller to save my life and frequently have issues tracking people in the air. My son has asked me to pvp sometimes with him and I do, but I'm not good at it and its an excercise in frustration.

And then I got the Arminius-D with a near god roll and the game changed.

Holy shitballs, pvp is fun again. This autorifle MELTS the enemy before they can get more than one shot off. My KD ratio for several games jumped up from .2 to 2.2 or higher and I actually was first place in many of the matches I play in over the weekend and last night.

I was bored last night so I started up iron banner and went from 0 to rank 5 in about 6 hours. Would have been much less, but the last win I needed to level up to rank 5 only happened after 6 consecutive losses in a row, many of which were decided by only a couple hundred points. ARRGH.

At any rate, PVP, at least iron banner, had been fun. Can't wait to do some more pvp and see what happens. I even got several sniper headshots in which is something I rarely ever do.

With PVP it's interesting for me as someone who doesn't have people to regularly play with PVP is the only way to get decent gear but you can easily get wrecked without the right gear because even though they "try" to keep it even if you have better gear you'll still not do great.

Get any one of the dozen LFG apps for destiny on your smartphone, or go to reddit destiny fireteams subreddit and there are always groups looking for someone to run with them. No experience needed.

What's a good LFG app. Trying to do things like the taken events on earth a pain in the butt in a couple of the areas as either no one else comes around or you're waiting through several cycles before someone does.

you can 2 man the challenge of elders BTW, it will prob take you 3 runs to get the 90k points for that quest

to maximize points you want to precision kill the adds, team shooting them so someone gets an assist also helps, once you get the 30k points part done you get a wep from varriks and at 90k you get an armor piece

I got a 327 heavy and 327 boots, also got a 325 and 326 ghost while running it

Its possible but much easier with 3. Mida is still king imho for headshots and crit shots on the boss since sniper ammo runs out fast. I keep my dreadfang for the fallen captains in close quarters.
