Don't drop down and snipe it, just remember to kill the add that spawns behind you.

Surely Void Burn Axis Minotaurs spawning regularly are a recipe for disaster :eek:

Yeah this may actually be the first time I get to use Truth. Will go nicely with my Void sniper from the raid.

On the topic of sniper rifles, why are they all Arc?! I've got 3 seperate Legendary Snipers, all of them are Arc.

This

not a fan of that strategy at all as the minotaurs are such a pain. The one posted by Mr Jones is the one for me.

I might have to give this one a go solo. I just need to remember that my voidwalker doesn't have self revive... :eek:

I will finally have a use for my Void legendary shotgun as well :D

Quick question - Is a lvl 28 Axix Minotaur easier to harder to take down than a lvl 26 Praetorian?! I assume they are about equal.

Same thing different name I thought tbh.
 
Well that's a shame, just done the Nightfall, weekly and daily in about 1hour 20 with Veng and his mate. Not sure what to do now lol

28 minotaur will be harder to take down, since you have a damage bonus for each rank you are above an enemy up to a certain amount. So if you're say rank 29, then you have 3 ranks of damage bonus over a level 26 enemy, with with a level 28 one, its only 1 rank bonus.

Each bonus is about 30 % I believe. So you're almost doing double damage to a level 26 praetorian.

Is there a damage bonus against lower level enemies? I know there is a damage reduction if you are lower level but didn't realise this worked the other way round as well.
 
reading this I might be wrong

http://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/2k8ark/endgame_gun_data_and_statistics/

Level differences in your favor do not increase your damage output. However, you do ~33% less damage to enemies 1 level higher than you, ~45% less to enemies 2 levels higher than you, and ~53% less to enemies 3 levels higher than you. This seems to be true regardless of weapon.

Scout rifles and hand cannons do less damage to Majors even for body shots, auto rifles do not have such a penalty.

Damage for a given gun is a linear function of the attack stat (impact seems to affect both the coefficient and the intercept). Note that the attack stat is a meaningless metric to compare between guns.

Relatedly, the attack stat is a raw damage multiplier for a given weapon and has nothing to do with being more effective against higher level enemies than lower level enemies.

There is no difference in the amount of damage done to a level 20 enemy all the way up until your level. It appears the only difference is the enemy's hitpoints. Damage against enemies less than level 20 seems to be scaled down to match the % of damage done to a level 20 enemy. Example with made up numbers: Suros headshot takes 50% of a level 20 vandal's 600 hitpoints doing 300 damage. Suros headshot will take ~50% of a level 10 vandal's 400 hit points doing 200 damage.

Why is everything so mysterious and undocumented in destiny !

Not the ****ing Nexus again.

Stay on the ledge, two people snipe, one keeps a look out for the add, calls it when it comes, kill it in three shots, rinse and repeat.

If it bothers you so much don't do it that way?

The method doesnt bother me, the boss does.

Its possibly the most boring strike out of all of them.

Its a toss up between that and the Priest.

Even the bullet sponge Cabal boss with the tank is more engaging than this one.

Nightfall Nexus (indeed any Nexus strike) is spoiled by the fact its not a very good mission.

Ah I thought you were objecting to how it was done, I agree its the worst strike. At least its a quick run through. Wish the Psion Flayers was available for nightfall, that would be insane and no way to really cheese it.

Oh god not them. The last thing they need is more damn health!

It would be an even longer game of wack a mole.

Felt the same as you last week. I had solo'd them early on with my 29 Titan which wasn't too bad. I knew it was resetting today so last night I tried solo'ing the Nightfall on my Lvl 25 Warlock. OH MY GOD. I was getting 1 hit by literally everything. It took me 20 mins to even make it to the 3 wave room. Didn't even bother going any further, waste of blood pressure :D

Weekly Heroic I did manage though, despite my puny damage on Phogoth making the battle last forever :p
 
good to hear exotics are still dropping

everybody in my nightfall last week got purples. I was worried they'd messed with the drops.

I need to do the nightfall run for the first time. Anyone on tonight from about 6pm to try it with me? PS4?

I'm going to be on from around 7ish (hopefully).

Getting the Nightfall done would be nice.

Same thing happened to me and my fireteam although at the time I was a level 28 and my friend was a level 26 Titan. I could just survive a Knights Arc shot but it left me with half health (red bar). Level 26 was taken out by the same shot completely.

As a complete fireteam we nearly beat it last night but wiped when Phogoth was down to about half health. The damn Thralls with their one hit melee.
