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

Had a decent trials attempt last night with gord and Duck. Managed to get 7-0, then came across 2 carry teams in a row that put us at 7-1. No problems after that and we got to 9-1. Was my best trials run so far so looking forward to getting to the Lighthouse soon with some more attempts. I think this map quite suits my playstyle, which helps!

Liking the look of the rocket launcher 'Tomorrow's Answer' that's being sold so will level that. Looks to be a tad better than my current Exodus (bigger blast radius, for one).

Should be online tonight for either trials and/or PoE
 
Off on hols tomorrow....should have time to nip to Variks before I leave so I'm gonna get my last PoE 32 done on lunch today.

Anyone around about 1130 UK time for a quick PoE 32?
 
If your average at pvp the best time to do trials is today (the last day) as most people have done it by now.

I never played with my usual team who I am currently 18-0 with but with forum members this weekend.

Managed to get to the rocket launcher twice with 2 different teams on our first run. We lost a couple of games we really shouldn't of as well and I think I won a round where it was me vs 3 of them for the full round.

They camped the 2 orbs whilst I sniped them. It's a sniper/pulse rifle map.

Thorn as always does well. Shotguns are useful too if you can't snipe but you need 1 good sniper on your team.
 
I played loads of crucible when I first got the game, before I did any raiding. Fusion rifle is still my top weapon!

Slowly dragging my stats up after those naive newbie days :)

Top 6%/15% for zones neutralised/capped. Top 9% score per game average. Only top 32% for K/D.....I is playing for the TEAM :P

my stats are horrible too as i play for the team and play with people who aren't exactly the best pvp player but if you look on destiny tracker and their k/d ratio is very low then forget it.

e.g. if i saw someone with less than 0.95 k/d in their recent history then forget it. it basically means they cannot hold their own. you need to at least be able to trade kills with people to stand a chance in trials.

if all your looking to get is armour then play with anybody. if you want the rocket then look for good players.

looking for flawless then look for someone with a 75% win ratio in normal crucible.


also fusion rifle will be top because of the vex. it's classed as one.
 
I've been using pretty much exclusively Hawkmoon for a while now. When I was first playing I used a fusion rifle a *lot*, they were pretty OP originally.

how many wins did you get with Dredd the other day?

I got 7 with him yesterday on 2 characters on our first attempt on both.

I need to run my titan through some point today. Let me know if your interested. I will run sniper and pulse rifle so the 2 with me should ideally be running thorn/shotguns in case we get rushed.

I usually go for the pick and take it from there. Ideally everyone should have fast revive and max intellect too and preferably be Hunters. Golden gun is just so OP as is bladedancer.

I'll be going for lighthouse later with my hunter and a couple of high skill players so I'm happy to help you get the armour and rocket launcher as a warm up for that on my titan.

If you speak to dredd and turbo the tactics we used yesterday were perfect for the map.

You any good at sniping? I can usually get 2-3 kills for 1 death when sniping unless I come up against some very high skillers.

We got 4 wins the other day did alright once we got into the swing of it, first proper go at trials for me.

I got my INT maxed when I'm running The Ram, which is my preferred loadout. I'll have all my preferred armour ascended after next round of PoE. On holiday tomorrow for 10 days so won't be around for a bit.

Going to start making Monday evening my Destiny time and doing trials instead of pve on tuesdays.
 
Agree with Psycho Monday is really easy, last week I got 9-1 and 9-0, the 9-1 was mostly cause we was messing about and I forgot I didn't have mercy, it was also the only game we dropped a round. Everyone we faced was just bad.

The new rocket is pretty epic, max'd it out last night and it works really well, also max'd my boots so I have 4 rockets. Still trying to roll my Ash Factory since I can get similar roll with clown cartridge.

Also Sniper is amazing on this map, anytime I faced a team with 3 blinkers it was just GG, just stay back and pop those headshots. If a team rushes too much I would just go outside and take it easy, the capture point is there so at some point they are forced to come at you, just head glitch and take them out.
 
So have you been playing mostly inside? Last night we pretty much rushed outside each time and worked well, apart from against the high skillers.
 
Outside every time - it's where the capture point is.

We usually have 1 round every other game sometimes 2 where it goes down to capture point. Sniper looking across until the other 2 can call out where they are on radar. Just stick within revive distance of each other and camp outside.

1 sniper other 2 running shotguns. if they go inside just keep sniping them through doors and revive the sniper if he fails. Sometimes they will split and attack from angles. Make sure you have 1 eye on radar all the time and call it out so everyone knows they are coming from your back/side.

If you have supers send 2 indoors on the heavy round and sniper outside. Use super to deny them getting heavy if need be. I can usually take outside on my own 9 times out of 10 on heavy round.

It's all about staying alive and getting revives in. Let the highest skiller contest for kills. If your not great at pvp just provide support and covering fire for whoever your sniper is.

Oh and grenades. Call out grenades people that are low on health. If you have tagged someone tell your mates to nade where they are.

Use the OP grenades which burn or seek or pulse/wave and can take at least half their life off.

Tripmine and arcbolt for hunter.
The middle one for sunsinger warlock (the one with radius strike and burn you can usually hit multiple people with it) and the one with 2 seekers for voidwalker.
Dunno which ones for titan as I have never really used him that much.

I don't see the point in going inside unless it's the heavy round to contest it.

I've really liked using fire bolt grenades after watching true vanguards stuff. Sling a fire bolt round a corner, if it lands damage just rush them and OHK finish them off with hawk moon. It's brutal in control, wasted groups of 2-3 capping points doing that, grenade in, then go vertical and cap them from above.

You lose the one stick kill of fusions, but they are less use in busy maps. Better to strips shields from 3 people than kill one.
