Please put me down for the Friday one assuming a full raid.

I have a works meal tomorrow night so should be back to help out after 9 but can't guarantee.

OweO - 32 Warlock "Pigtails" this time

Added

Wednesday would be a maybe, but can definately do the friday.

i got 32/32/32 with one of each characters but use a titan as my main.
do you run the raids normally or shortcuts? happy to do either but just so i know

Put you on reserve for Wednesday for now til you can confirm - off top of my head I cant remember your PSN tag though!

I think we just do what the majority want - personally with how Bungie have setup the HM Im happy to cheese where possible...

Pop myself down for Wednesday.. I am unavailable for anything specific from Thursday through Sunday.. might be able to squeeze something in but not much lol

I'll be using a 32 Warlock

Added too

I don't know if you want a 32 Hunter mate....The pressure when you run that sword on HM

Id rather volunteer myself if possible than ask anyone else - quite happy to try if people are ok with me messing up a bit. Im quite comfortable in the 3+3 invis routine but never tried that without the chalice etc...

You or Moon should join one of the raids as Id like to see how the HM tweaks differ, as I dont play Hunter much I dont always have confidence what I can get away with with Crota - wheres Lazy_boy lately, not seen him/had abuse from him for a few weeks

Cheers for the add.

I do like how you kept "Pigtails" against my warlock Going forward I should just call them by name rather than say "32 Warlock".

On a related but seperate note, anyone up for a CE NM raid on Thursday?

I have a hunter that needs the chest piece / helmet and I would really like to get my hands on black hammer / HoC. We can use "HM" strategies on normal. I could also start us from the bridge if no one needs the Abyss drops?

Thursday 8:30PM CE (Normal Mode) - PS4

- OweO - "Moody"
- Piphal - 31 Titan
- *reserved* - checking on availability

This will be an easy going affair with only a wiff of cheese if we start to struggle. I'm happy to give Sword carrier a go but please bare in mind I have never done it before.

 

[oneilldo]

Put me down for the Wednesday one. Can do one tonight as well if anyone's about.
Tonight will be level 32 warlock. Tomorrow will be lv32 hunter or 32 warlock depending if I do a raid tonight. Hunter is currently lv 31 but will be 32 tomorrow

Yeah that's no problem mate. You get used to the crouch invis/DPS call/melee hit etc timing and then its a bit of luck, especially with all of the random glitches. One thing I would say is make sure your Bladedancer class is maxed, and get used to the jump etc (simple but I still mess it up sometimes and I've logged a lot of hours on my hunter lol)

Interested to try a slightly different tactic that I saw. Instead of a Titan following the Hunter to the platform etc, he simply puts his bubble on the right plate that Crota rotates to (right plate - as if you are stood on mid ledge looking at Crota) This is supposed to draw the aggro from both the boomers and Crota, leaving the swordbearer to act as if it was NM.....We'll see

 

[Si.]

If you cannot find a 32 6th person I can bring my 31 Titan Defender, I'll be online so drop me an invite if you need me. If you get a 32 wanting to do it I'm happy to drop out.

What levels do we have for tonight? Would like to try to get my 31 through to the Crota fight before switching to my 32.

 

[apostolis_kt]

What other day can you make it mate? Was thinking tomorrow to get to Crota twice and then Friday to finish him twice. Happy to change from tomorrow if more can do Thursday.

Just need people to have a decent enough setup over 2 characters and be available for both days. Perhaps Im being a bit ambitious tbh - happy just to do 2 raids on seperate days if thats easier and I suspect not as hard to organise...

Actually yeah lets do that instead and do the normal Monday mop up

Add me apostoliskt lvl31 if you cannot find anyone else for wednesday. Friday i am not very sure as something might come up the last minute. Will try to run a normal mode to get the 7 bloody missing shards but dunno if i will manage to do it till tomorrow.

No problem should be fine with the number of 32s we have.

What levels do we have for tonight? Would like to try to get my 31 through to the Crota fight before switching to my 32.

As long as 4 of us are 32s I think we'd be OK. Everyone on our list has a 32 available as far as I am aware.

great..I'll still have my Maxed GHorn with me.

 

[danclivo]

Managed to max my Fang of Ir Yut today. Very stable, 27 shots per clip. It's basically an arc Vision of Confluence, only with 331 Attack and no auto fire.

Looking forward to trying it out in CE.

SGWilliams87, i will have a snoop on zoomee's friends list later ha

 

[zoomee]

Put me down for friday please poly - Hunter 32. The Hunter really needs the helmet which allows you to pickup orbs to regen health if you ain't got it

Already done hard mode on the warlock up to the witch, and the hunter has seen up to the bridge too (oh and the hunter also finished off crota on normal mode - was all over the place today lol!)

Normal mode was a walk in the park compared to Hard mode last night!

Hixx taught me a new strategy for Crota today too which might be useful!! Titan bubble on the top of the stairs which was very interesting!

Nightfall and hc anyone?

I've been doing it that way this evening, very handy for stopping the boomers shooting the sword carrier.

Poly, I may have to drop out of Friday's raid, it looks like I'm probably going out now. Can still do Wednesday which will be on my 32 Warlock. Might be worth bumping me to reserve for Friday as I'm not sure what time I'll get back.

Can also do any other nights if anything is happening.

I'm tempted to take this into hard mode tomorrow night although I've not fully levelled it. Will need to see how much extra damage the Hive major perk does. I just remember shooting away at the Knights on the far side of the bridge last week with MIDA and them just laughing at me!
