We're continuing it on Friday or tomorrow?
That's the first time my Gold headset died on me. It usually lasts for the duration of three raids.

I've never even used a Hand Cannon before. I'm 99% PvE. I'm currently using the MIDA Multi-Tool Exotic Scout Rifle. I like it but, while it's only like half-way leveled up so far, it seems to lack punch and I'm often last in kills on Strikes.
Which way do you guys think I should focus my upgrade efforts?

I've got both the MIDA and the Devil You Know, I'd say go with the handcannon personally.
If you guys want to go ahead without me tomorrow, feel free to. However, I'll be available to play friday and the weekend.
Just finished the raid. Got all the chests so the loot was great.
9x Asc energy
6x Asc shards
A legendary ship
A legendary rocket launcher.
Not bad.
Thx for the invite. See you on there next wednesday. Hoping for less energy more gear lol

I've been using that since I got it, haven't came along anything better yet. It's a solid pistol, me and it have been through a lot together.
Just got this from a Blue engram.
magazine seems pretty skinny compared to the other endgame stuff you can get. is there a mag upgrade?
I think Friday would be best. It gives everyone on the team a day to do some weapon/armor upgrades.
so I've been sitting at level 27 for about a week now, and I'm not sure how to spend my time with the game, I've got a ton of shards and energy, but don't want to spend them on non "raid legendary" gear, for obvious reasons. I'm also sitting on about 40 strange coins which I will spend on a exotic armor this weekend to possibly hit 28
so the best use of my time in the game at the moment is just the daily/ weekly/ nightfalls? in order to get legendary items to break down into shards, and then once a week run my luck in the VOG for raid gear to hit 30?
the only benefit for Bounties, Crucible and Vanguard Marks/ Rep seem at this point is only to obtain legendarily to break down into shards
am I missing anything?

i'm maxing out SUROS right now. my rocket launcher is the only weapon I had that felt like it was effective. felt useless towards the end since enemies are staying up too long.

Did some digging on reddit. Found this about the Gatekeepers (he calls them Gate Lords incorrectly, but the advice still stands):
I didn't think about the relic person just staying on the outside.
Phase 7: Gate Lords
This part can be the most confusing and challenging for your teammates. Working together here is the most quintessential of the raid. To start off, when you run through the door you will find two gates. On the left and on the right. The left can be referred to as Mars, Red or Left. The right can referred to as Venus, Green or Right. Either way you need to make sure your entire team understands these identifiers.
The strategy that we have implemented that has lead to the most number of clears without wipe is also the easiest ( as long as you remember to stay the fuck alive ). Two people will go into Mars, while the other four stay outside and prevent the control plate from being seized. ( IF the control plate is seized, you will have RED oracles spawning above the gate that was captured ) The idea here is to get the gatelord in Mars down to a sliver of health. I'll explain why later. But it's essential that you do not kill the Gatelord. Just bring him down to a sliver of health. Once his health is down, you return through the gate and go to Venus. Here you move forward and eliminate enemies and kill the gate lord.
ONCE THE GATELORD IS KILLED A RELIC WILL SPAWN IN THE CENTER OF THE MAP. Make sure that you are quickly out of the portal. Cleanse both who went in. From this point the person with the shield should move to the top of the map to kill the minotaurs that are spawning to sacrifice to the relic. They are the only enemies that can be sacrificed. Two slam attacks with the shield is enough to take out the minotaurs. Your job is easy but essential. The remaining person runs into Mars, while the remaining people cover the gates and look for oracles. Once inside, the person fires a single rocket into the gatelord, killing him in one hit. Grab the shield. From this point you can either wait till the cleanse buffer is up or make a break for the gate. Your call, I've done both and succeeded both times.
Once the final shield is out of the gate, everyone ( save for the first shield wielder ) needs to go center as there will now be two additional spawns, shooting out Praetorians. Hold this spot for 1-2 minutes and this Phase will complete. Enjoy your loot.
TLR Get gatelord in marks down to low health, Kill one in venus. Go into mars, kill the one in mars. protect relic.

I'm up, haven't run it yet. Haven't been able to get a group going on destinylfg. I'm a level 28 hunter. Add me PSN is welcomenowhere
Hard Raid?
I wish I could upgrade my SUROS.
Gjallahorn is the only rocket launcher I got and due to Exotic restriction, I won't be able to use my SUROS.
Wanted to use it badly during the run but the restriction prevented me from doing so.

Had a blast!
Lots of people I play with seem unaware of this but, the elemental mods applied to the Queen's Wrath mission are applied to both the player and the enemies, meaning that if a mission has a solar element mod, enemies who attack you with solar weapons will do enhanced damage but they will ALSO receive enhanced damaged from YOUR solar weapons.

The one exotic equipped at a time is really dumb. Make it such a pain to level up multiple exotic gear and weapons
=p np yeah i have enough shards and energy for 4 exotics lol

I think it's the hardest encounter in Heroic. Atheon is basically the same as before, nothing special.
I've beaten once when I was the only Lv 30 with 5 29's and once this week with two 30's.
After getting the outside adds and GKeeper down, we did left portal first. Three go in, three stay out. I would give Illuminated WoL for the portal team and we rocket the GKeeper as quickly as possible. Only the relic person goes forward, the other two drop back out of the portal and help with adds outside/wait by the exit for cleanse.
Someone with cloaking makes the run for the relic and gets out. Don't even try to kill the Minotaurs inside, just cloak, grab and get out. Cleanse the other two portal team members while the outside team splits into two subgroups: at least 1 person breaks off to defend the center conflux from the Minotaurs spawning at the top of the stairs (needs to have good void damage weapons), at least one person needs to make sure right portal is up and the third outside guy needs to help with the portal while also watching Hobs/Goblins that are on the left/center areas.
Same teams, same strategy in right portal, except now one guy has the relic and needs to make sure the 2nd relic runner is cleansed before they make a cloaked-run for it. I always make sure to have plenty of heavy ammo synthesis so that I can use 3-4 Gjallahorns on each GKeeper if necessary and get them down ASAP.
1st relic guy and the non-relic portal member back out of portal and cleanse, then immediately help defending the Conflux and keeping the portal open as necessary. Should be able to let the portal go fairly soon, 2nd relic guy gets out, and everyone protects the Conflux.
One relic guy should watch each portal and use R2/jumping R2 smash to stun the Minotaurs and everyone just needs to hold out for a little while until the relics/conflux disappear and you get the checkpoint.
Hopefully that helps, let me know if you have any questions. You can also use the strat where you go into each portal and get both GKeepers' health very low, then run a simultaneous relic grab in each portal so that you don't have to worry about the center conflux as much. But you are spreading yourself thin in other ways obviously. I know that strat works but haven't used it personally. (Edit: Looks like you posted a variation of this strat above).
I'll join, lvl 27 sunsinger. Haven't done the raid before though. PSN Stider

Hand cannon is the way to go if you want punch. Upgrade it and switch attributed based on application. That's a great weapon. Has great range if you need it

This has been my main gun for weeks now. It's amazing both in PvP and PvE. Probably close to the second best handcannon under The Last Word. Treat it with love.

lttp on the raid but I finished it today. I'd tried it once before on the first week and got the raid gauntlets for titan; this time, I got the boots.
Got lots of ascendant materials and then Chatterwhite.
This is the shader I was using before.
Got lots of nice stuff last night, too (including Hawkmoon). RNGsus smiled upon me.

I had cleared it 8 times before today with the only glitchy stuff being some weirdness exiting the portals if people went at the same time or ran too fast or whatever.
But today the Atheon fight was glitched to hell. He would teleport two people even though all three of us were huddled together at the back. Another round he would teleport 4 people, another round only 1 person. I'd never seen it that bad before.
