Tell me about it, only just got legendary boots yesterday. Now I just have to grind up the materials to hit 28 and finally attempt the raid. Probably nothing stopping me at 27, I'd just feel better at 28 :D

I'm still hoping for an exotic armour drop, but I'll post again regarding standard legendaries, make sure you don't "waste" materials on them. I would concentrate on only upgrading your exotic armour.

Raid Legendaries (18): 5 upgrades | 7 AS x 3 | 2 + 2 + 2 + 3 + 3 (30)

Exotics (21): 4 upgrades | 8 AS x 2 | 2 + 2 + 2 + 3 (30)

Already have fully upgrade Sunbreakers, so really the chest is just there to level up as it's nice to have. Currently working on my newly found handcannon that came from a legendary engram. Hawkmoon. 13 rounds, has a chance per clip to do extra damage. From my testing, it seemed to be a 1.5 x multiplier on the damage. Recoil is lovely on it as well, very predictable.

Current gear.

Finally got to level 2 in FWC so can buy some armour, Already had legendary boots, chest and exotic gauntlets so only bought a helmet. Looking at the stats though, the defense and light is the same but need to switch over to all FWC armour as they give much better INT+DIS stats, where mine currently is giving too much STR.

That chest armour you have is very good, with extended duration radiance you can get off 10 grenades using your super. I also own the same gauntlets as well as an exotic helm, they're both maxxed out on experience but I doubt I will use either of them in the future as the chest passive is a lot more useful to me as I prefer to use fusion grenades.

I was in a skirmish match when the other player on my team was rewarded the Hawkmoon, looks like a nice weapon. You should try giving hand cannons a chance as your primary weapon now you have a good one, they're by far my favourite weapon PvE. It helps that its base stats are pretty good on it so its easy enough to use without its special abilities, which is more than can be said for some of the exotic weapons *cough* Bad Juju.

Might switch to the chest then, fusion grenades are good fun! Definitely digging the hand cannon as a primary, it was carrying me though the trash mobs on the nightfall last night so it's well on it's way to being my primary (that is until I get a decent legendard/exotic auto rifle).
 
Base weapon attack is the same for everyone.

Advantages come from weapon level progression but it seems pretty well balanced to me. I was doing fine against lvl 20's when lvl 2-5 hunter.

Think my auto rifle is level 13 or something and it's green.

I finished it at 18, but had a level 22 help me out throughout it. With what I've learned about the game now though I could probably do it solo at 18.

Think I was level 18 when I did the Mars story missions. Level 19 when I did the last one (Black Garden). If you're on PS4 and get stuck and want some help, feel free to invite me to your fire team (Japheth105).

Thanks.
I may take you up on that scorza when I'm next on. :)

So how does PvP work in the sense of what is normalized? I think I'm still using a level 6 gun or something?

The level and damage part of you stats are removed.

Look at the other stats of your gun - they are all as a percent rating. If you think of a normal FPS, then the "impact" of the gun is how much damage it does.

So the hand canons have huge impact, and as a result do lots of damage, but fire quite slowly and need to be used carefully.

The armor stats are all removed, and you all have the same shield and health. The only thing that carries across are your perks such as more ammo or increased reload time.

Its worth noting that your gun perks carry across two. The most desirable ones in PVP are guns for which the radar stays up even when aiming down sights, and one that makes the gun easier to use when being shot at as it reduces your flinching.

Thank you both very much, that gives me a better understanding of it.
 
Does anyone have any idea what's going on with the OcUK clan stuff? I'm getting requests to join the clan even though it's open to all without approval and now seeing people requesting approval who I am pretty sure are already part of the clan... because I've already accepted them :\
 
I was expecting the nightfall strike this week to be Winters Run as they have all gone in order of level up to now but it's the Dust Palace on mars instead. The boosted stat is Arc, so maybe it wont be so bad as the majority of the weapons used are Solar, assuming Valus doesn't have an Arc gattling gun?

EDIT: Its Cerberus Vae, I got confused :p

I never knew that was an effect in PvP!

My Bad Seed pulse rifle have the ability to make enemies flinch more - only thought that's useful in PvE, so always switch over to quick scope when doing PvP!

Might need to try and see if it really makes a difference.

Fairly certain that just about everything on Mars hits your for Solar. Although knowing what previous ones have been they'll just switch the damage type to Arc to mess with us.

Wow that takes some doing. How many hours have you put in so far? :)

I try and pick the bounties with +100 rep then daily I'll do the 'complete 6 missions on mars' etc then I'll go for the kill missions where it gives you +25. Also a lot of PvP but I still can't level that fast!
