Do you have to have the weapon in your hands to get the lightweight agility bonus?

Was wondering if I can stack the abyss defiant + murmur/IB bonus for legging it through the abyss..

No, have to be holding the weapon with the attribute on it to get the bonus.

 

[oweneades]

Does the agility perk actually help run speed or is it just strafe / jumping? I don't notice much difference (any TBH) when running with IB vs a non agility perk gun.

MIDA makes quite a bit of a difference though.

Please remind me to run as my hunter on the normal run (I will need to pop back to the tower between raids).

no it helps a lot, with the bladedancer and maxed out agility and the +2 from murmur or IB the abyss is a breeze on normal not so much on hard at the end but thats a different story

 

[Schnippzle]

MIDA is awesome. It's my main primary now which means Ice Breaker and Gjallarhorn don't get much of an outing anymore. MIDA is especially useful in the Crota raid for the Thrall maze and Crota himself if you're the sword carrier.

Hear hear!

To be fair I have never tried it on my hunter. When running the Abyss on normal I would just use MIDA anyway.

My Warlocks are "Tanked" / running minimal agility, hence why I struggle to notice the difference.

Vex and Red Death both dropped for me on VoG on Saturday, which one to level up first?

I'd recommend Red Death as it'll be of most benefit in Crota's End hard mode.

Depends whether you have a Gjallarhorn or not, the health regen on red death is really only useful to you, not the rest of the team in CE HM and there are other ways to restore your hp. Gjallarhorn should be your priority exotic if you're not sword carrying. If you're the sword wielding hunter then I would definitely choose red death over the mythocast.

If you don't care about CE then the mythocast is a very powerful weapon in both PvE and PvP so it should be your first choice

Out of curiosity (and the fact I had entered without any heavy synths - left in vault ) I ran my un upgraded vex when taking down Ir Yut last night (Hard mode). It seemed pretty damn powerful against, well, anything. I was genuinely surprised to be honest.

Normally I would run the Horn though.

But yes Red Death is useful against red bar enemies to re-gen your health. I have no idea how strong it is against Majors though.

Well... the crux dropped.. 339 damage!

(Its in German.. sorry!)

I think I watched that vid at lunch. I'm honestly not that impressed with the Necrochasm. It seems to have all of the weaknesses of Ediolon ally with only Arc damage being its extra strength.

I still want the Crux to give it a go myself but, at the moment I am underwhelmed.

Youre doing it wrong - pretend a hard-to-get gun is really good so everyone fawns over it when you have it

Oh bugger, knew I was doing something wrong!

Everyone needs the Necrochasm as..... well..... SHINY!

SHINY GOOD!

Finally got the fate bringer. Bungie just need to upgrade the damage to 331 now!

I don't think that's going to happen..

 

[mid_gen]

I could see them making a concession in HoW and allowing Fatebringer to get up to 331 when the cap goes up to 350+, to keep them relevant but not 'end game' quality, so the new raid is still the target.

 

[mid_gen]

ERm...I'm hearing the NF is Omnigul with Solar, Arc and Void burn?

Heroic is just solar.

Arc on omnigul is just horrible. Sod that, glad I don't need any more weapons!

 

[djcj]

Time to introduce omingul to abyss defiant, black hammer and gjallarhorn

Abyss defiant with the perk to disorientate wizards should be interesting.

 

[mid_gen]

Aye I'm gonna do the weekly, but NF...jeez last time I did that with arc burn we cheesed it. Horrible level design when you can get one shotted by omnigul or one of the 3 wizards.

At least there's no lightswitch or angry I guess.

Meh, melt them all with VoC / Vex / Fatebringer / Abyss Defiant & then unleash hell on omni with volley after volley from the mighty horn.

Looking forward to it.

Weekly should be a relative breeze as well with just solar burn. Quick and easy 27 coins. I will treat it like an ROC strike and go mental.
