Only 1 or 2?

Well, that's great... Looks like my 1 week of Destiny playing to level up is not going to happen then. I'll just finish the DLC storyline, maybe some IB and PoE.

2 etheric light + 1 exotic shard + 1 armour core is all you need to reach level 34. That means all you have to do is the following:

1) Ascend 1 exotic armour item using an exotic shard.
2) Get armour core by completing story mode + level 28 PoE + level 32 PoE, then buy armour item from Variks.
3) Reach IB rank 5, buy 2 etheric light and ascend 2 legendary armour items.

You don't even need to do PoE if you can get 5 wins before getting 3 losses in Trials, and buying the armour item from Brother Vance. Or, with the buffs, get 3 wins before you get 4 losses.

I wish people would stop using abbreviations. What does VoC and WoC mean?

Haha, think of it like starting a new job and having to learn the acronyms!

Vision of Confluence - Vault of Glass raid drop - Primary Scout Rifle - Solar Burn (arguably one of the best scout rifles in the game)
Word of Crota - Crota's End (Hard Mode) raid drop - Primary Handcannon - Void Burn

Hmmm.... Looks like I'll be busy then! Cheer for info!
 
Acsended my VoC last night and had a few quick goes of IB to test it and I did miles better, never went under a 1.5 k/d (as far as I remember). Maybe my new IB weapon. I know its not as good as my thorn but I can at least use it effectively.

I'm up for either a 32 or a 34 anytime today/night. Going on soon so giz a shout.

You get one at level 3 and one at level 5 of IB

Hold off ascending Fatebringer, honestly at 300 its actually still very good. Its worth doing but other elemental primaries (specifically VoC and WoC) probably need the 365 damage level ahead of Fatebringer.

VoC yes but ascend WoC before Fatebringer?! LOL!

Seriously though VoC will be my next gun to be ascended. WoC will come somewhere in the middle of the pack / when I have enough Etheric light to ascend it by accident because I thought it was something else.

Yeah for sure, whats your choice for Void damage primaries? And considering WoC just isnt as good as Fatebringer why wouldnt you improve it first?

It seems stupid to improve what is considered the best handgun in the game already over other lesser guns that need the 365 damage to compete.

Why would I NOT improve the best handgun in the game to make it even better?

I use WoC very infrequently whereas FB is nearly always in my primary slot. So again why would I bother to ascend something I use so infrequently when I am going to benefit so much more by ascending a gun that I actually use?

WoC needs more than a increase in attack rating to compete. It is annoying as I want to like it but its archetype and perk roll make is lacklustre at best.

Because with void damage modifiers or void shielded enemies a WoC is more useful than FB. FB is my goto primary but when either those two situations arise I swap it out like no doubt many have when it came to void damage NFs and the like

Its pretty simple concept, the 300 FB is actually still pretty lethal with the new content, I wouldnt say the same about the 300 VoC or 331 WoC. Hell I have those last two at 365 and I still use a 300 FB as my goto weapon, it just means those 2 dont feel as inferior when I have to swap to them...

Void burn yes WoC is better but outside of that I would probably just stick to taking things out with a secondary / heavy whilst leaving FV or VoC firmly in my primary slot.

I understand where you are coming from but for me ascending my most used primary was priority. In fact half the time I forget to switch it out to match the shield type. It almost feels like it doesn't care that the Wizard is solar shielded, she is going to die regardless.. :D

When content like PoE dictates a rounded weapon set it seems bizarre to improve your best weapons first rather than get everything else that can be useful to a similar level to avoid being caught short.

Considering this weeks Skolas is void damage IIRC, Id rather have a full set of decent void weapons - I can understand its not much of a difference, I just prefer having the right weapons (because thats why Ive played Destiny for so long to achieve) than to make do...

Also as youve repeated said the FB is fine as it is, so why the need to ascend it when you find alternatives so lacking?!?

I understand your point but I'm with Owen on this. I'd rather ascend FB over WoC simply as it's more useful for the majority of the things I do in the game. WoC would actually be a fairly low priority for me, behind most of my favourite secondary weapons.

It doesn't help that both void primaries (Epilogue and WoC) are just fairly rubbish and neither make me want to use them all that often.

Oh it took me a while to get to my logic aswell, when you look at the 'definite' set of void weapons they are all lacking (think only the heavies are truly useful).

With the pain of playing last weeks 34 PoE with players that didnt have decent void weapons (only really useful in the last 2 rounds IIRC), Ive found a new place for things like WoC...

ps3ud0 :cool:
 
WoC is 331 anyway so ascending is only giving you 10% improved attack. Fatebringer's 20% boost from ascending is much more useful.

Not that I have WoC....but I have epilogue for void burn which isn't all that bad. In fact I've been using ARs more in general lately, they are pretty solid.
 
I'm sick to the back teeth of this iron banner ****. Three hours. Three ******* hours I've been trying to get the last 100 points I need to rank to level 3. And my team must have lost 12 games in a row near enough.
 
Unlucky. If you're playing solo best to avoid peak times if you can. I just knock out the bounties in the morning, dead easy, no fire teams online, easy pickings :)

What's your PSN? We're always looking for new faces :)
 
lol all that discussion about the guns after my intial post - makes me feel even worse that I have NONE of those. :p

Due to the rarity of them for me, I'll be ascending whichever I get first to be honest. Chances of getting them all in quick succession is low and more than likely I'll have plenty etheric light by then so can ascend everything. Should have at least 4 more Etheric light before reset givin me 5 in the vault. Really have noting to spend em on right now
 
VoG HM is relatively easy to get through, if you get a group with 3 characters then, with people switching to alts you can with only 1 full play through get gorgon chest on every character and get the checkpoints to go back and do templar and atheon twice more.
 
Yeah deff need to get into a rhythm of doing that to get as much done as efficiently as possible. with a bit of luck I can pick up a few things I need quickly.

Friday night might bring some joy - that'll get me 3 chest pick ups and a full run so plenty chances to get something!
