I assume Aksis HM will be 400 given NM is 380 and the level cap is raising to 400 as well.

Will be very interesting to see what the new mechanics are. There are still two things in the book greyed out under the raid tab. There is also another use for the empowerment during the Aksis fight (those who are empowered but not "smashing" can step on the teleport plates to instantly charge everyone's supers) so maybe something like that?!

Ah, I haven't looked in to it so didn't realise they were raising the level cap. Depending on the new mechanics, I would guess then 380's should be ok for Archpriest and Death Zamboni if not HM Aksis. Whatever, I best get my Warlock's ass in gear and try to get as high in to the 380's as I can this week.

I might be able to join you guys for the raid tomorrow depending on what time you was thinking on starting.

I don't know who is actually doing it or what time. Midgen posted the 'usual' crew but not everyone replied and midgen didn't suggest a time. I wont be on until around 8:30 but with midgen being an hour ahead that may be too late for him. I was planning on getting on when I get home and seeing if the raid had started or not.

Was that for this week? I may have misunderstood then as I thought it was for hard mode on the 18th. If it is tomorrow then I can't make it.
 
Re-read Midgens post and it appears a reset run today to get normal mode done before HM launches on the 18th.

Greboth, Soulja & I need a raid run for the exotic pulse (we need to complete the last step together - once the raid is complete).

We will then be able to help TX and anyone else get the pulse using the SIVA thingies from Shiro.

Midgen - can you confirm you are ok with a (your time) 9:30 start?
 
Yeah 9:30 will be fine, although it doesn't give me that long to run through it. I'm not bothered about exotic quests if it takes ages extra, would rather get through as much as possible :)
 
2-2 1/2 hours is a good estimate if we allow for a few wipes.

I think Soulja & Greboth are down so need two more.

Rooster said he would be free in the evening so maybe only need 1 (TX?)
 
That's way too late for me, I'll have to see if I can join a group of randoms for one this afternoon once I've finished work and then we can continue with the rest of the quest on Wednesday?

What time will you need to get off? We did it about 1 hour 15 mins or so last night with a few wipes on Aksis but we did all knew the mechanics which helped. So adding some time to explain mechanics and a few wipes that there is bound to be then I would agree with Oweo's estimation of around 2-2 1/2 hours.

As for the exotic quest, monitors 1, 2, 3 and 5 don't add anytime to the overall raid as they are on the way or I could grab them while the fights are being explained. Monitor 4 does add time though, assuming everyone can count correctly :p, only 10-15 minutes at most. So, if I get monitors 1, 2 and 3 then we can see how the time is going when we get to 4.

Right to try and avoid confusion, I think we have

Am I missing anyone?
 
Nope. Hopefully I get one at the beginning. If not, I'll just keep out of the way at the end fight, seemed to be doing alright that last time other than me not triggering the Aksis stun.

You did well considering you hadn't done it before and you was low light level.

I think the only place that has a chance to drop a ghost is the first part of Aksis. Even without getting a ghost, a bit of luck on the other drops should see you go up 1 or 2 light levels which will help. I think the first time most of us did it we were mid 360's so you should be fine. We just need to work on communication as we kept wiping as we didn't have all the bases covered. If we can sort that then with the rest of us being higher levelled DPS shouldn't be an issue. Fingers crossed I can get a heavy drop so I can infuse my Sleeper up as it seems a better choice than Gally.
 
Dear god the grind to 360+ is killing me slowly lol. Currently at 359 and I've grinder sepiks strike about a million times but can't seem to get past the 359 wall I'm at.

I know they have slowed the levelling up a bit, played IB over the weekend but didn't get much in the way of higher light items. Managed to get rank 5 pretty easily but from 350 before IB I managed to get to 355 which isn't a lot if I'm being honest.

Not even raid ready at the moment so I don't want to get into a raid and let my team down. TBH before ROI dropped I was enjoying destiny. Now not so much, in fact it's getting boring and mind numbing lol.

Not sure what else I can do to get levelled up faster, I'm doing the strikes, grinding sepiks and doing whatever quests I have to do.

It's really getting to the point that I may just knock this game on the head and wait for destiny 2. Never has a game annoyed me as much as destiny.

I've run through a guide so I know the mechanics. I'll be running my bubblebro at 373.

Any particular weapons to go for? I've got a ton of infusion fuel from IB
 
We did it in basically three damage rounds last night (despite a captain having a "moment" so we should be fine DPS wise (Rooster is over 380 now) given you can have up to 5 rounds).

Key things we need to remember (note - sort of spoilers):

- Always call out where we are empowered to ensure bases are covered. "Mid" takes back whilst left and right also cover front. Person at "Mid" should always be ready to slam at back. If you are empowered prioritise being in the right spot over DPS in the first two phases. One causes a wipe the other slightly less DPS - the time window to slam is very narrow.

- Use the cannons. Don't wait until the last damage phase if it means leaving shots behind (circa 60k per shot is wasted otherwise). 1 -3 shots in the first or second damage phase leaves a decent amount left over for third damage phase whilst also using up all the shots.

- Ensure we know who is on cannon duty and who is throwing the bombs. This can be done multiple ways we just need to ensure we are consistent on the run - also see empowered point.

- Ensure all of the shanks are killed before attempting to drop the captain. <370 light the shanks will tear you apart faster than you can react.

- Sunsinger warlocks - use Viking funeral, touch of flame and fusion grenades on third damage phase (you can throw whilst charging the cannon). This will buff everyone's damage a little bit more (stacks with the other buffs). Orbs from Titans and hunters should get your super back before the next round of damage phases.

- Don't panic!


I think that is all bases covered. :)

TX might be able to fill in the last slot if he is available.

EDIT:

Yas - you are fine to start the raid at 359. This was roughly my light level when I first went in. :)

Midgen - For the final fight you will want a decent primary (scout, pulse or Hand cannon preferable), high impact sniper and decent heavy (G'horn or sleeper preferable). Up to that point a shotgun is also useful (against captains). I have started to use the full auto one from New Monarchy, it tears the captains apart within one "clip". Arguably Sleeper is a lot more potent than G'horn for bosses but the latter is better everywhere else.

SIVA Heroic playlist drops guaranteed two blues at or above your light level up to 365, so you should just be doing that til then. IB got me from 365 - 373.
