Destiny |OT5| New patch out Tues., Master Rahool reportedly crying into his robes
- Thread starter The Librarian

Archon seems to have something with a high up rock/backing up a lot but I don't know if it's as safe as the other cheese methods. I really don't see a way Ta'aurc would be tackled though due to the room he's in. The door you come in plops enemies around you and you don't have a good view of him from there anyway.
Though I don't doubt people will surprise me with stuff they find out anyway. The first raid boss has a downright hilarious cheese method, though the second one by nature of what you do likely won't have any simple method.
If you can get on earlier we are starting at 8:30est at the last raid boss on normal. PSN: rarbusto

Archon Priest is easy to cheese. You can get under the deck where the sniper spawn. You just hang out under there and pick things off slowly.
I haven't died on this strike in ages.

So I got to level 20 today after having the game for just under a week. First crucible match (that I actually leveled to 20 in) I got a Legendary engram that actually gave me a legendary sniper rifle. That's a pretty good feeling.

I already know my cheese spot for the Archon Priest >.>

For Ta'aurc
It can take awhile. But you can go underneath the ramp on the right side of the room at the front and pot shot him. Nothing can hurt you. Unless you come out.
What do you mean you don't know how to tell? Numbers pop in the screen when you shoot enemies.
It's easy to tell when you're shooting a bullet sponge non-stop from the same distance. The shots with the higher number are the bonus damage bullets. It's about 50% more. I can't say if the percentage bonus is the same for headshots, but probably.There's no point in using a handcannon for a primary weapon over a good AR in PVP. It just doesn't hit hard enough to make up the difference in rate of fire. Only The Last Word seems viable to me, and it's because it's an OP weapon.
I'm the same way. My hunter uses the initial cloak since there is no hood. I wish you could choose hood up or down.
Is anyone looking to get the Nightfall completed tonight in about an hour and a half (7:15 EST or so)? So far me and PaulKersey from here are up for it, so we'd need 1 more. Bring your solar weapons!
I'm trying to get it done last minute on my alternate character since today is the last day.

hey! my k/d ratio was still better.
I actually did another game, dm on mars, the vehicle level and went 21-0. Camped* what would be the "b" if it was capture and ate all the heavy ammo. Didn't even blade dance for that one

Same. But I have been too busy leveling my Suros Regime to care about my Pocket Infinity at the moment.
Doctor Nope is a lot like weapons from the Terran Republic in Planetside 2 (a game very close to my heart, +2000 hours played). Theres a carbine that fires at over 900 RPM in the TRs arsenal. Anyways, Doctor Nope reminds me of that, and I always think that itd be so much more enjoyable to use if I could only use a keyboard and mouse instead of analog sticks.
The only reason I favor the Suros Regime now is because of the minimum amount of work I need to do while aiming, though I feel certain the DPS of Doctor Nope has the potential to be much, much higher.

So apparently Archon Priest is cheeseable. Ok guys, find the spot for Valus Ta'aurc now

Oh god, I forgot you need to be rank 2 to buy stuff from the Crucible. Spent all night playing a mode I hate for this shit.

I send you a request, doubt if I'll make it in time, but if you guys are late or someone drops I'll be around. Otherwise maybe later this week after the reset.

Archon is too easy and fun to cheese.
...unless I gotta fight him on Nightfall.

Bladedancer isn't unlocked for Hunters until Lvl 15. Even more beastly.

Run with at least 2 titans with the shield that generates orbs as it is shot.
You should be able to keep a shield up constantly.
Use the defensive shield and melee any mobs that come into your bubble.

That cloak though.
It is pretty great. Has stopped me levelling up any factions lol.

I'm not really confident talking on the mic and I've played with a few guys from gaf and elsewhere, you really don't need to talk a lot if you're on a team of people who has at least 1 who knows what they're doing, they can organise people and explain what's happening and all you need to do is either ask for help if you need it or say where you're going if you choose a specific side (you need to split up for raids to cover all the enemies which spawn). Constant shouting is not really necessary, just be sure to listen to instructions if that's what you want to do.

Why would you make two of the same class?

I have a love hate relationship with it. I hate its low impact too much, its an ammo burner. But, as you said, its a primary Void gun. Which makes it invaluable in certain situations.
Would that work if the Angry modifier is up?
Judging by the grimoire score, it's an alternate character, so he could pick either subclass at level 1. C:
For some it is still borked (me) and for others it seems to be working just fine.
We're doing final boss at 8:30ish est of raid. I'd team up for some weekly right now level 28 if you want, psn:rarbusto

Unless it's his second character. I have a sun lock and blade hunter as my alts, both lowly level 10 and 11.
All this stuff on Reddit is just, man. Explains so much, and you can see how we ended up getting what we got from a lot of what was said.
Why they didn't want to have a really strong story to follow initially is beyond me, with strong characters, etc. Instead we got this weird mishmash that barely makes sense half the time.
Go to the moon, stop the sword, go to venus, meet a stranger, go to the reef and awoken!, get an eye, go shoot big god AI monsters
Its sad because its not like it can be fixed.

Whaaaat? I haven't made any alts, just my main Hunter. So, if I create another Hunter character I can start right off the bat with Bladedancer?
Edit: Apparently so. Sweet! Had no idea.

That cloak though.
Ou, what's it name/where is it from?
Shattered Vault Cloak, from a chest in the raid.

The shader you get from the Raid is godly.

Explains a hell of a lot.
It could be fixed, though. There have been MMOs (I know, I know) that have gone back and completely rewritten their starting content. Admittedly, since Destiny is supposed to have a new game every 2 years, I don't see it happening. But it is possible.

Beat the VoG and get Chatterwhite.
Chatterwhite and Blacksmith (CoD pre-order shader) are my favorite atm.

Finally soloed the fuck out of Xyor on my titan, I'd like to thank Doctor Nope, my trusty bubble shield and Kid Rock's award winning hit, "Cowboy" on loop.

I had exactly the same kinds of concerns and a week ago I even posted here saying the raid was not for me. Then, a guy who friended me after a particularly efficient public event we blitzed messaged saying he was putting a group together... I almost passed but gave it a shot. A week later we finished it off at the 3rd sitting. We had at least 2 mute members at all times, sometimes 4, that made it difficult but it's surprising what the few gestures help communicate when planning away from the action.
Most of the time we just gave calls for cover, revives, oracle loacations and planning tactics, but it wasn't like we needed to be chatting away all the time or needed to rely on any past knowledge of each other/how we work best. So not knowing each other wasn't really a problem for us, that surprised me a lot, in a way it's got things in common with typical team-building exercises... some people naturally take the lead, some speak less often but then usually have something worth saying when they do, and others prefer to stay quiet and be told what to do.
I bet it's a lot of fun with existing friends, but please don't pass on a chance to give it a go, it's an experience that everything you've done so far in the game has build you up for... passing through each section and finally completing it some of the best feelings of accomplishment I've witnessed in a game. Do it!

After you get one character to 15 you can start another character of ANY class in their second subclass.
