*** The Official Destiny Thread (now includes 2.0 and TTK) ***

I think the problem with the weekly heroics and the nightfalls is that the damage everything does, the number of adds that spawn and the sheer health of the bosses mean you actually have to 'cheese' rather than just play normally.
 
I've never actually tried 3-manning a nightfall, I just take whatever the elemental damage required is and find a cheese spot. Even without going 'full cheese' you're basically just hiding, shooting, hiding, recovering, shooting, in a very long boring cycle.

Hopefully they'll add VoG matchmaking once people start getting level 31+, because that will be easily doable with pickup groups and much more interesting than the strikes.
 
Sepik Prime this week

Weekly: Heroic + Arc Burn
Nightfall: Epic, Angry, Lightswitch, Arc Burn, Night Fall
 
Arc burn nice, *pats P&T*

Sepik I've not managed to cheese, the stealth vandals in the room before the walker always do me a mischief, not found a good spot to keep them at range.

I'll be online most of today doing nightfalls, weekly heroics and raids on both my characters if anyone is up for it.

XB or PS?

edit: I have no good Arc weapons at all, I have just a blue sniper rifle, fusion rifle and machine gun :(
 
Not sure if mentioned but apparently one of the hidden changes in the patch is the nightfall scaling. It's now supposedly harder to solo and easier as a group?

Also extra heavy ammo perks no longer stack :mad: I enjoyed having 8 rockets :p

Or in the case with the most recent Nightfall where lightswitch AND Arc burn were enabled. A single melee Dreg willl one hit a level 30....

Trying to run in the open solo on the Archon Priest is basically suicide. If you stand still to try to hit him (with a weapon that will do any meaningfull damage - so criticals to the head) you will be either swarmed by adds or he will teleport directly on top of you. In both cases you may as well return to orbit yourself before the game decides for you..

To make the fight at least do able "properly", either his health needs to be reduced or the amount of adds needs to be toned down.

Yeah, definetly. I always take them nice and slow anyway to avoid mistakes and getting into bad situations! Constantly making use of sniper rifle and scout rifle!

I did last weeks nightfall from the entrance way, just time your sniper shots well and you stun lock him and he won't hardly move.

Making it harder solo will be a pain. Especially with Arc burn on the fallen.

This is my tactic as well. Run P&T to snipe him until I run out of ammo. Switch to Icebreaker whilst my special is on cool down and then rinse / repeat.

Dammit, I like the Sepik mission as it is pretty easy but was hoping for solar so ice breaker can be even more beastly.

When you walk in to the room there is a tunnel on the opposite side with a train carraige in. Walk down there and they wont follow you, if you are near the box at the front of the tunnel they will walk in to attack but further back they just hang around at the entrance to the tunnel - perfect for picking off with a sniper :)
 
What's that all about? Seen a few posts about a legendary speeder. Just got mine from VoG I was enjoying leaving everyone for dust on strikes, boo :D
