If you have the shader, class item and emblem as well as the reputation bonus from the vendor you can get nearly 100 rep for each victory. Add the bounties on top of that and its frighteningly easy to level when compared to any other type of rep.

Yep, this is the best way! Get whatever items you can to make it the reputation go up quicker. I hit rank 5 yesterday, the shader is very nice! Just need to get glimmer together to get the scout rifle and gauntlet.

Once I hit Rank 4 I give up, I'm only in it for the boots/gloves.

What's the deal with the Iron Banner level advantage? I'm a L29 Warlock and I'm using weapons like Epilogue and Invective that are around 50% levelled up. Am I at much of a disadvantage or what?

And what counts more: weapon stats, your stats, or simply your light level? Bungie don't seem to have explained this in detail.
 
Another couple of hours and I'll be set for Iron Banner rank 4. :D

Need to farm some Glimmer & might pick up the class item in case the next time the event rolls around it has decent rewards.

Wish I had the time & patience to do it with all my characters but it's not really all that enjoyable. Wouldn't have to go through this nonsense if some decent armour dropped in the raid.
 
I've reached Iron Banana rank 3 and have purchased the level 30 boots. Just need the gloves now. Reckon I should be able to pull that off tomorrow, with a bit of luck. Need about 1900 more rep to reach it. 20 games should do the trick assuming a 50/50 win/loss ratio and hoping I don't get more than 5 losses in a row. Bounties should bring that down a bit. Once I have the gloves, I'll have all I need to reach level 30.
 
Anybody up for forming an Iron Banner 6-person fireteam at 8.30?

I've been solo'ing it and it's difficult when you're on a team with randoms, playing against organised teams.

Difficult isn't the word, who's clever idea was it to have just one team based mode for the banana?

Saying that, I don't mind the token system for the losing team though. it's no wonder the losing team wasnt sticking around in the first event. Why would you stick around and get pub stomped for no rewards?

Might have a break to farm some Glimmer tonight & crack on with the bounties tomorrow morning.

So I noticed two nights ago one of my pads R2 button skips working half way through firing an auto rifling. I switched to Pad 2 last night and found it was even worse with my Vision of Confluence!

Is this the sign of the end for both my pads? - REALLY surprised both would go at the same time as one of them hardly gets used.

go in to Destiny controller options and switch to L1/R1 to aim/shoot :D

Yeah, you can always tell if the enemy team is working together. They always stick to groups of 3 or more and seem to respond to things incredibly quickly. And they can chain their specials. Been stomped so many times today just because the enemy worked together better than we did.

I'm now about two thirds of the way through rank 3. Just 765 reputation points needed before I can buy those level 30 gloves. A good chunk of that will come just from tomorrow's "get 10,000 exp" bounty. Then that's my armour set complete. Already got a level 30 chest piece from raiding, and exotic helmet from Xur.

Have to admit, this is going a lot more quickly than I thought it would. That buff mcguffin gave a 60% rep bonus today, and 10% bonus from emblem, and another 10% from the shader.

I'm almost exactly the same away from Rank 4. Win or Lose, I'll clear tomorrow's bounties and be able to buy me some gloves!

Need to decide whether to buy the armour with the scout rifle or assault rifle perks now? :)

I'm going for the assault rifle perks. I used to be a total scout rifle hound, but ever since I picked up Shadow Price, I've converted to assault rifles. :D

Also, assault rifles need ammo buffs more than scout rifles do. Scout rifles almost never run out of ammo.
 
Considering these perks only really work in PvE how essential are they when you can pop a cheap ammo pack if you are desperate or just wait for pity ammo to turn up? I know I tend to run out of primary ammo at times on PvE but rarely is it difficult to find some lying around...

While I understand things like the reload perks which could be useful in PvP most of the IB stuff seems more to cater for people trying to get to level 30 than really being an alternative loadout to raid gear.

ps3ud0 :cool:
 
Primaries of choice are VoC for PvE & Suros for PvP. Think I'll go with the Assault rifle perks though as your points seem to make sense.

Looking forward to hitting 30 and attempting a few hard runs on the VoG before the expansion hits.
 
Best moment of today. Enemy team had a titan bubble up to capture a zone. I actually managed to run into the bubble, invective one of them in the face and run out again. Can't believe I got away with that.
 
I did a similar thing. Run into bubble, throw voidwalker in the centre, jump out and watch the team of 3-4 people run into the middle of the bubble because they can see they're getting hit but not from where so they run into the bubble for safety. Everybody dies, i smile. :D

Works with grenades also.

It's hard to tell. From bungies weekly newletter, the damage modifier for 1-2 level difference is not that great, whereas weapon damage is more linear scaling. However higher light levek means higer armour and thus less damage taken (now sure how this scales).

From my experience it feels that having a fully upgraded primary is most beneficial as long as you are not 3-4 levels below enemy.

you probably only managed it because that buble was a weapons of light.

If the titan has an armor of light bubble, you simply cannot kill people in a normal time frame. Unless they just stand and let you do it, you'll die before they do.
