*** Destiny Raid & PvP discussion thread ***

I'm considering doing VoG normal double run tonight instead of CE, if I can't get one of mine to 30 in time.

Guess we will find out in an hour or so what the vendor gear is like, will probably nip home at lunch and see what's going on :)

Going to be really hard to not watch twitch streams at work.....

Was discussing with poly last night, it might not really matter that you don't make 30. Get a new exotic armour and jump to 31 might be the case!
 
we just weren't doing enough damage to him bud, am still going in to the VoG even after CE comes out i just hope theres people that still want to do that raid

Well 29 is 20% less damage right? If, for argument's sake, the damage window on the templar is 8 seconds, and busting out of the containment field takes 4 second at 30, and 5 seconds at 29...it's actually a much larger overall reduction in damage output (I can't be arsed doing the maths). Templar must be the worst for it, at least on Atheon etc you just have the 20% reduction.

If the new legendaries still need Ascendants, I will definitely be doing VoG this week. It's just the new raid gear that needs the radiant materials I think?

10 minutes to go....

Yup legendaries still need a plethora of ascendant materials & farmed materials.

Honestly I would try to hit 30/31 with the new raid gear / VG gear / Re-rolled exotic and then hit the VoG on hard again.

The new VG gear mixed with a single re-rolled exotic will guarantee level 30 (and 31) whereas running the VoG will not.
 
So, confirming our group for tomorrow, 7:30 start...

1) Davey_Pitch - 30 Warlock
2) Davey's friend - 30 Hunter
3) Righteous_Rabbit - 30 Warlock/Titan
4) djcj - 30 Titan
5) ps3ud0 - 30 Hunter/Titan/Warlock
6) ShakeNBake - 29 Titan

Are we all still good for this?

I still up for it, if I need to do some additional content to unlock the raid then I will put myself down as playing a hunter, leaving the second warlock slot for ps3ud0(which i'm sure is the class he would prefer to play :p).
 
So I sneaked a look at some twitch streams.

I wouldn't want to go in with a 29, first bit seems to be you all being attacked by l30 thralls while getting hit by a stacking debuff that slows you down. Strength gear may be useful!

This work day needs to be over!

LOL I didnt even think about having a fair share of classes - I dont mind being Hunter, though expect me to run away a lot - tbh with the normal 30sec revive Im sure I wont be that much of a liability.

Least youve reminded me what class I really should get done before tonight - looking very much forward to it :)
OK Crotas End normal mode for Wednesday 7.30pm:

1) ps3ud0 - polynomial007 (30 something)
2) Zhokel - Zhokel (30 Titan)
3) Reeve - Righteous_Rabbit (30 something)
4) Soulja - Soulja85 (30 Warlock)
5) Alrik - xAlrikx (30 ?)
6) ps3ud0+1 - KneesofGomorrah (30 ?)

Can people just confirm day/time please as I havent seen some of you since last week online - looking to make this a regular time/day really, but I know Soulja might be the only one that has trouble making it every week due to work commitments

ps3ud0 :cool:
Just a reminder about tomorrow, think everyone has advised me they can make it - I know Alrik had a hiccup but assures me he will. My assumption is we wont get it done in one night because its new - if we had to reconvene is Firday ok for everyone?
Polynomial..... WORD IN EDGE WAYS!
Everyone will think you are referring to the fact I talk too much :p

ps3ud0 :cool:

Just a bump for tonight's raid as there's a few going on!

7pm Tuesday New Normal raid ps4

1. steveo - cowboybebop7DR - Hunter lvl 30
2. Captain Planet - Brown_Pants - Warlock lvl 29
3. mid gen - middgen - ????? lvl 29
4. redrooster303 - redrooster303 - Titan lvl 29
5. SGWills - ??????? - Titan lvl 30
6. Paul_M - Turbo_Nuter - Titan lvl 30

I think I'll be able to get 30 in time...I think a couple of vanguard pieces with the first defense should just about tip me over.

33 % less damage for 1 rank below.

You can still do it with 29s. You just need to be give them more of a chance. Block one or two of the templars teleports and his shield will stay down for longer, giving you more chance to get some damage on him.

Also it helps to have a relic holder with max intellect, and is not afraid to go aggressive and hunt the harpies. I managed just fine the other week as a level 29 relic holder. You can still one shot the harpies.

All 29s is a bit of a hard ask, but 3 level 29s shouldn't be a problem.

Looking forward to it :D, and can now finally turn in my exotic bounty
 
Nipped home on lunch, got mah boots. Handed in a few bounties to get my light level back up where it was, just a few more later and I'll hit 30 in time for sure.

My legendary engram turned into a Swarm, boo. Nice to see that daily public event reward is back as ascendants though.
