I've done bad juju and thorn, just got the pocket infinity one on my main and got option on a new one on my alt. Not sure I can be bothered mind, until the exotics get rebalanced a bit.

Bad Juju needs some serious buffing to make me choose it over virtually any other primary. It's annoying as I like the look of it.

Perhaps a slight increase to impact and a larger mag (15 > 21) would be enough?!
 
Definitely a larger mag. Thorn needs a big boost to reload speed as well.

That said, now I've maxed gjallahorn and got AE + VoC I don't see any other exotic getting a look-in. I'm a bit short on decent specials apart from a shop bought Light/Beware, hoping I can get the raid sniper + fusion.

Happy to help out on Xyor if anyone needs it, VoC eats wizards for breakfast :D

New patch tomorrow as well, hope it's those exotic weapon changes and things!



Still can't believe we managed to smash that out in one afternoon, if we didn't have iron banner I recokon it would have taken a bit longer and a lot more frustration too!

Also, up for hard raid on Tuesday evening?

I honestly don't mind them holding off on the exotics if it means somebody fixes the damn party chat BS!

It's coz we rock dude, we did almost complete gatekeepers stage on hard with just the two of us haha!

I'm about tuesday evening :D you about for nightfalls again during the daytime?
 
The normal raid is going to be 30 only? Really? It's such a chore going from 28 to 30 and I just don't care that much. That's ****ing dumb if true.

Haha, I think we could do it. Your warlock was only level 29 when we tried it that time I think.

I think so, will probably be the nexus strike with hopefully a solar burn!

They've said there are new ways to hit light level 30 in the expansion if you aren't there yet without doing the vault of glass. I know Eris will sell legendary gauntlets for each class (I imagine these will go to 30 light) so maybe she'll have ways to get other armour pieces which will hit 30 light.

You don't have to be level 30 to enter either, so you can still play it at level 29. Being level 30 will help as was mentioned in that silly video they released.

With the normal raid being level 30 does this mean the enemies near the end will be level 32?

Normal VoG is level 26 but the enemies are level 28 by the time you hit the gatekeepers.

Could be interesting if that was the case....
 
Really really hope VoG is kind to me this week. That said, if Eris gives you a route to 30 through some kind of bounty/rep setup then I'll be happy, would be nice to not be wearing the same armour as everyone else.

I can live with it being a few weeks before I can get into the raid, as much as I would love to spend hours exploring trying to figure it out I just don't have the time!
 
I still haven done the Weekly on my Main character this week and could do with the coins.. anyone on XB0 around tonight and want to do it? Tried it Solo but can't seem to manage it.

Which bit are you having trouble with?

I can't help as I am playing it on the PS4 but there are a couple of helpful pointers / cheese spots for both the wave room and Phogoth:

Wave Room

Draw the enemies out by the door and blast away from up the stairs (only works for the Wizards but everything else isn't as annoying). You will need to draw the Wizards out more than once depending on what setup you are running. Watch out here - as soon as you see them they WILL follow you right to the first archway up the stairs. Duck behind the rocks at the top to avoid their fire.

Phogoth

Either stay in the room near the entrance and retreat into the previous room when the shrieker spawns (do NOT go back into the third room as he will regain full health) or;

Clear all adds but don't shoot at Phogoth. Once cleared release him and head to the far left from the point of the entrance. Beyond the platforms there is a rock you can hide behind which gives you ample sniping time between his head blasts.

In a group Phogoth is do-able whilst running in the main room. On the (void burn) Nightfall this is probably not a great strategy as his head blast will drop you in a couple of hits. Group together (for easy revives) and the whole team will be at high risk of all going down (and thus back to orbit).

I've done nightfall with 2 characters and weekly with 1, but that was in a group.. When I've tried the above solo I always die when the other adds appear after 5 mins or so.

I'll give it another go tonight and hopefully get in before the reset.

The only thing I can suggest if you are using the above method is take your time. I attempted to rush it last night for a bounty and died quite quickly trying to get that extra shot or two into Phogoth.

Its a bit of a pain but the strange coins make it worth it. You could run in the main room but if you don't have a strong tracking rocket launcher the Wizards & hallowed knights are going to drop you pretty quick (unless you take even more time to kill them all one by one).
 
Weekly is pretty easy to solo - hell I did it with a zombied friend so had double damage to deal with for the final fight too

Snipe from the second room but be prepared for it to take some time and use up green ammo...

ps3ud0 :cool:

My 27 hunter has not done it this week either, although Im not sure if that will make it harder under level? Anyway I'll be on from about 20:00 so give me a shout and we can give it a go.

I'm finding them much tougher to solo since the changes they made its hard to get the shields down quick enough before they hide and regen.

Cool.. will drop you a message tonight if you'r online.

I find the Wizards a nightmare to take down, even with maxed ice breaker and on Level 30 their shields take almost all 6 shots to get down and have re-generated before you can blink.

Six shots on ice breaker? Thought would go down quicker than that. This week's one I hit em with gjallahorn then switched to epilogue for void burn. That said, I never quite finished it!

I'm concentrating on getting gear sorted for the new raid, should have this setup maxed by the end of the week:

VoC (solar)
Light/beware (arc)/Patience & Time (arc)
Gjallahorn (solar)/Hezen Vengeance (solar)

Prefer the double solar as knights are pretty straightforward to clear, it's the wizards that are the pain. Hate to think what a pack of raid level wizards is going to be like :S

pretty much confirmed already

Skip to the 2:20 mark

Its only a chore because you need the RNG drop raid armor to get there. Armor you can buy will available to take you up to 30, meaning it will be no more of a chore than going from 26 to 28.

Rank 32 will be the new 30 and you'll need the RNG drop raid armor to get to 32. But getting to 30 will be just another rank when the dark below comes out.
