I've done a few with randoms and had no problems

This haven't worked out for me, got matched with someone who was 333 power level. Safe to say that person was getting one shotted.

I find them ok now I'm 351 but the rewards are terrible for how difficult they are.

the drops are are rubbish, 339 LL is all the stuff I get from the heroics with the occasional purple 340 engram.

How the hell do you do these Heroic Strikes? I'm having so much trouble...

jpm · 15 May 2018 at 00:44

What PL are you? Put your solar weapons on and sub class. Do more damage.

Also keep an eye on the daily modifiers, today they had iron which means enemies have more health and don't flinch while taking damage.

Kavalree · 15 May 2018 at 00:47

PL 347.
I was using Solar weapons and subclass, got given the Pyramidion Strike and struggled so bad we gave up after 40 minutes... Didn't even reach the well!

jpm · 15 May 2018 at 00:51

Trouble is its solar tinge, slightly increased damage from solar while the vex shoots solar and hits like a truck.

AStaley · 15 May 2018 at 10:29

I've found with the current Strikes that the Shield is my new best friend, certainly can't waltz through at the current light level as we've done in the past.

For the Pyramidiom strike using rockets up to the well (also if you have a hunter ensure they are on tether for the adds). From there use linear fusion rifle or snipers on the boss. We had him down to half health before the first teleport. If you don't burn him down fast the adds will overwhelm you.

Garden world strike though.... that can **** right off with solar singe!

Yep, first one we gave up on. Just wasn't fun at all.

Kavalree · 15 May 2018 at 11:35

I'll be on after 8pm this evening if any of the guys who have previously played together with me fancy giving the strikes or Nightfall a bash? (I'm Anti-Chav on PSN) I'm also hoping my cousin can join as he's having difficulty getting above 340~ PL.

oweneades · 15 May 2018 at 11:41

Yeah should be on tonight.

Getting from 345 to 350 and above is a rich ball ache if you don’t have loads of people available to the raid / trials etc at short notice. Then you have to get lucky with the drops. I would be higher than 350 if I didn’t get a chest and auto rifle 3 times in a row from my milestones...

AStaley · 15 May 2018 at 11:45

I'll be on tonight to get the NF/Milestones done. Will probably get me to 351 light if I'm lucky.

Kavalree · 15 May 2018 at 11:48

I've attempted the raid multiple times... NEVER beaten the final boss... So I still need to run the OG raid, then the 2 new ones...

Problem with that is, I'm usually only available from 8pm Sunday to Thursday... However, I'm sure I can arrange if notified...

oweneades · 15 May 2018 at 12:44

Leviathan shouldn't be too bad at our current PL. It also is step we all need to do to get higher than 350PL.... (post milestone completion).

I have beaten it a few times but will be rusty as all hell (especially the game show part and Calus). Dogs and pools are easy once you designate where everyone is going.

The more I think about it the more I believe the current leveling post 345 feels broken. Why are we only getting 340/345 drops from 350+ PL activities... This doesn't make any sense what so ever. I am wondering if the current PL was increased at the last minute (from ~360ish) but the rest of the game hasn't been updated to factor this in. Based on the raid PL we should be hitting 355-360 (10 below Raid) before the real grind kicks in.

We hopefully get one going this week, what's good about the OG raid it'll drop rewards at PL or above.

I'm not gonna attempt the new one until I'm at least in the 360's. Recommended power is 370 lol

Have you got the heroic adventure milestone for Mercury (eww) on any of your characters? If so do them to, they give powerful gear at PL or above.

It's either that, or the because people were complaing that "It's too easy" so Bungie have responded with "What about now Eh? How's them apples!"

My blues are dropping at 338 and purples stuck at 340, so it is also possibly broken somewhat.

Milestone? Not that I'm aware, I've done 1 of them and ground out 3 of the "Verses" for the weapons (I want all 11 for the Ghost shell)

jpm · 15 May 2018 at 12:55

Yeah its called Infinity plus one. I still got it on my warlock so will do that.

Errrr I have done the heroics on my Warlock and never finished the CoO story on either my hunter or Titan....

I think there is definitely a tinge (lol) of Bungie doing a Bungie. Taking a literal meaning to a complicated discussion and running with it. Basically they heard "It's too easy" and made it hard. Rather than trying to understand the nuance of what was easy....
