Put me down for some weekend fun. :D

OweO - Lvl 32 Warlock (x2 - Interchangable but I better give Pigtails the first go otherwise she will be ****** :p)

331 attack Bad Juju might be useful for the Lamp sections as a voidwalker. Limitless ammo + raining down Nova bombs... (I'm going to kill myself a lot!) :D

I have a range of weapons to choose from. 331 attack legendaries / exotics or each class. The only thing I am missing is a 331 attack solar sniper that isn't IB (allowing me to run GH).

Also please remind me to bring the right GH. I was running the "Wakening" Daily heroic and ended up shouting at TV as my GH rockets were not tracking... Yes I have brough the 302 "fresh out of the box" model instead of the 331 attack one.. :o

EDIT: I might also be available for the time above (6PM Wed). Put me down as a reserve if you like. :)
 
I'm coming into hard mode with...

Fully levelled Monte Carlo
Fully levelled Fatebringer
Fully levelled Vision
Near full Timepiece
Near full Vex
Near full Ice Breaker
Near Full Light of the abyss
Near full Hunger of Crota
Full Swarm
Partially Levelled Thunderlord
Near full Deviant A

I'm sure there is more.. I could probably do with another special...

Any advice?
 
Yeah get everything fully levelled up or upto the Exotic shard last bubble. As important as level 32 is so is a decent set of fully upgraded weapons...

Concentrate on the IB, Light of Abyss and Hunger of Crota

ps3ud0 :cool:
 
Those are all pretty much there.. IB and HOC have 1 bubble left.
Abyss will require a little spending but all the upgrades are unlocked :)

Getting there guys.. As the raid won't start until half past I'm tempted to watch a stream to see what we are to expect.

I'll be streaming too.. To my 4 viewers lol
 
As much as I like the VoG raid weapons, they'll be little use in the hard raid if the starting mobs are level 33.

Level 32 and 331/331/331 is going be needed for the hard mode. 331 options I have :

Hard Light, Crypt Dweller SR1(scout), Time On Target (pulse)
Ice Breaker, Black Hammer, Murmur, Purifier
Gjallarhorn, One Way Ticket
 
So any thoughts on what we might expect in hard mode CE?

I think we'll have a chalice in the initial pit that we need in order to heal whilst doing the run from lamp to lamp. Or that your health will only reheal once the weight of darkness is completely off (i.e. you have to wait longer at each lamp).

Possible we will have the pit's Weight of Darkness on the fireteam after killing the swordbearer at Crota. That way only the person holding the chalice will have full movement (thus will be the swordbearer). Although no difference to normal mode for the most part, the slow moving fireteam will have to contend with not dodging boomers and also fighting off mob whilst taking Crota down.

I haven't come across many other theories, has anyone else?

Problem I have is Ive not found a decent 331 primary weapon - loathed to use an exotic when thats better used as a secondary or heavy so rely on Fatebringer most of the time. Are any of the buyable primaries actually any good?

Saterienne Rapier (Spelling might be off :p) from the Crucible Quartermaster. 331 Scout rifle with the same perks as Fatebringer.
 
If what I have read is correct, 300 attack weapons only deal 100% damage to level 30 enemies...I've heard it's something like -10/-20/-50% damage reduction on higher level mobs.

I've been levelling a Time On Target pulse rifle which is pretty decent. None of the vendor weapons are great, but if you get a good set of perks roll on an engram/reward version...

One Way Ticket.000 from the vendor is a bit crap, but I have one that dropped with cluster bombs, field scout, and clown cartridge....it's actually pretty damn good, better than Hezen Vengeance.
 
I believe it's 14% less damage to use a 300 atk vs a 331 atk against same or higher level enemies.

The bonus of using the current VoG primaries is their perks often outweigh the benefits of the increased damage. ie. Fatebringer precision kills cause AoE arc dmg that often fry mobs. VoC has great accuracy, clip size, automatic, impact. Plus the benefit of having a damage type (solar, arc, void) helps with any shields you encounter.

Really, there are few legendary non-raid primary 331 weapons available atm that justify use for most people over VoG primaries. However the CE raid primaries will be a must, hence the desire to get the hard raids done!

I think I'll be going in with a defensive setup which means fireborn and Light beyond nemesis for my Warlock to give me the health regen upon orb pickup. The rumours I've heard all suggest that health regen will be less than normal.

With that in mind I have toyed with the idea of using Suros for the health regain but don't think I'll have it quite maxed by Wednesday, so my loadout is likely to be

PIT
Thorn/Saterienne Rapier
Murmur
MG18 Harms way with field scout for 100 bullets

Bridge and Crota will keep the same primaries and switch to Black Hammer and Hunger of Crota for quick high DPS

All weapons at 331
 
You don't need a 331 primary. A 331 damage weapon will only do ~15% more damage than a 300 one even if it's a lv34 enemy and youre 31. I have the rapier and tbh it's not any better than the fatebringer unless at range as it only does 2/3 of the damage per shot
