Bought an exotic helm engram just for fun since I have extra motes, got the warlock helm that reduces resurrection times. I'm leveling up a warlock for the main purpose of getting extra coins and doing another raid each week, is that the best exotic armor to use for stuff like that, since I'd probably be running the self-res loadout?

Edit: To clarify, I know it doesn't affect the timer of the self-res super, I just mean since the other exotics all seem to benefit things that don't seem as useful in a raid/strike setting.
If you're going to use Fireborn (self res) it is a bad helmet choice in my opinion. Fireborn in PVE means holding onto your super for very long durations just in case you die without a teammate nearby. The main perk of Light Beyond Nemesis is extra orbs when using your super, but you're always hanging onto it so it's a waste.

Great helmet if you don't use Fireborn or use Voidwalker.
 
Why doesn't Bungie just allow trading? For pete's sake PSO had that crap in 2001.
Probably because they don't want to have to deal with people farming only to sell their items afterwards.
Plus, if they allowed that, they would have to give WAY LESS exotics and legendaries, because anyone could trade for the gear they want.
I'm ok with the current choice they made.

[EDIT]
They shouldn't let Xur be totally random like that, though.
 
Think Xur got a bulk deal on those sunbreakers.

Bought the stealth drive, will be picking up a rare sparrow from Vanguard in 4 days time. Also grabbed a sniper rifle telemetry to see if I can pop that then hand in 5 bounties for extra XP on my Patience and Time, the name seems fitting getting this one maxed.
 
Gotta love these Bungies automated systems that they clearly don't bother to keep eye on.

Bounties for gamemodes that aren't even available for play and now Xûr selling Sunbreakers for third time out of four when he has been available. In comparison Hunter and Titan has always got new item to purchase.

What a fucking joke.

Sad part is their automated systems were pretty meh all the way back in Halo Reach. Anyone have an image of the Titan helmet on sale? Is it the one with the mohawk?

I bought it from Xur!

Destiny is crap.
 
Bought the Exotic engram and got Light Beyond Nemesis Helm. Problem is I already got a fully upgraded Apotheosis Veil and Heart of Praxis chest.

I was hoping to score something for one of my alts :/ oh well, I cant dismantle this...looks too good.
 
I've been thinking of switching actually, that whole phoenix down thing sounds amazing and magic missile is boring. Is it really so invaluable of a boost to grenades?

In a word...yes.

In more words, basically the problem with solar grenades is that in pvp they don't last long enough for you to be able to build legitimate zoning around them or last long enough for them to do significant damage unless they whole thing hits and they don't notice.

Sunbreakers extend their duration by a fairly long time, to the point that during your super you can throw around 5 down before the first one disappears. Without sun breakers you can usually only have 3 active before the first one disappears.
 
So Bungie is going to realise how this is complete bullcrap and pull the Sunbreaker from Xur for another Warlock Exotic within the hour, right?

Because this is really fucking all Warlocks over twice considering Xur is hugely important for endgame loot and he has done fuck-all for Warlocks ( Worst Helmet in the game with the Apotheosis Veil and then repeating the same fucking gear piece thrice, while Hunters and Titans consistently got their very best gear that massively improves their respective supers and overall play. ).

Honestly, this is really turning me off from this game...

I quite like the Apotheosis Veil. I just wish it looked better.

You sound really angry btw! There will be other weeks you know. 😄
 
S someone who doesn't really Pvp much (beyond grinding out enough marks for some gauntlets) are the sun breakers that useful or am I better off waiting for the Heart of Praxis Fire? I really had my mind set on that one for PvE but it seems like it's never going to appear...
 
My PvE and raid character is a warlock. I don't mind that they have Sunbreakers a third week. New owners should have a chance to own those awesome guantlets. Not everyone can pour tons of hours into collecting the requisite funds in 3 weeks. The slow ones can enjoy the best armor for the most popular class. I think Bungie knows what it's doing there.

The selection for Xur can't be too varied. I don't know if Bungie intends on letting him sell every exotic in the game, or if they'll leave some entirely to chance or bounties. There shouldn't be a ton of exotics in the game anyway. PEACE.

A man comes up with a story.
A man tells it.
A man gets all the boys to the yard and they're all "Xur's better than yall".
 
You sound really angry btw! There will be other weeks you know. ��

Isn't this the third Sunbreaker in four weeks though?

What if those other weeks are Sunbreakers, forever and ever.

Maybe these are the stories Bungie wants Warlocks to tell.
 
I just want to reiterate this. Red Death is a good weapon, it's just not amazing. If you don't have a solid exotic primary then absolutely pick it up.

One of the best guns in the game, you'll see this in the Iron Banner when weapons are no longer being nerfed.
 
Exotic engram gave me Skull of Dire Ahamkara.

Warlock helmet, yay.

I got that ifor the nightfall - what modifiers does the engram one you got have?

Anyone who uses Red Death, I've not used this kind of weapon much, do you think it might be useful for a space jesus who's right in the line of fire taking out supplicants at the end of the raid?
 
Knucklehead Radar looks so good, easily the nicest Hunter helm. Too bad I'll have to switch for that hideous pos.

I'll probably grab the Titan helm too.

rip in peace Warlocks

How can you ask other people stuff? Is there chat somewhere?
 
Are you like me and use pulse rifles as your main weapons in PvE?

If yes, then buy it, it's the best pulse rifle in the game.

If no, don't buy it, if you're accustomed to the fire rate of auto rifles then you will probably hate the Red Death.


i have the legendary pulse fair and square and my current legendary seems better in every way.. my stability is way better.. like more than twice aa5good than red death. it looks like red deaths only thing thats better is healing after every kill. am i missing something?
 
This is the only exotic I want in the game now.

It was the only one I wanted since I saw what was on offer. Taking down Suros users head on has never felt so satisfying.

For high level pve with lots of shields it my Suros feels better, but for pvp I doubt I'll ever switch.
 
Oh shit! I've already got Crest of Lupi but that damn helmet sounds fucking awesome, blind those who enter my fucking domain, yes please!
 
YES! The helmet I wanted most -- FINALLY!



-Sweet ass, attention-whoring bucket for my dome piece: check
-"Gym body" build with scrawny chicken legs and disproportionately large upper body: check
-Dumbass, non-functional knife and police baton: check
-Mothertrucking PINK! : check

I adore how my character looks.


For funzies, my (now) alt helmet with Gundam arms.
 
Nothing for me here, got the sunbreakers 3 weeks ago, gambled my motes and yet again got an item not for my class(dont have time for alts), will wait until next week... again...

Yup. I think this game gives away too many exotics and not enough legendaries.
 
Red Death, is that something I should consider using all my coins on?

I've decided to switch to defender Titan, getting a little bored with my Warlock at the moment, so I'm looking to have some gear ready for level 20. What about helm of saint-14?

Or should I just save my coins?
