I think it's better for raids because i always play bladedancer in pvp. It's definitely helpful in raids. I may get it because of that but I kinda just want to save my coins.

Gambled on the exotic helm engram and got the ugly warlock helmet that was for sale last week.
I guess I should at least be happy I got something for my own class...but man, this game can be draining sometimes. The excellent gunplay keeps me coming back.

I can't verify it myself but someone said you got points for neutralizing and capturing control points as well which makes the bounty fairly easy and quick.
Failed during the final boss. Has his health widdled down to less than half. Those freaking psions knocked us out. Two level 28s and me (level 26).
It's hard mode.

Level 29 minimum. You'll just die a lot at 28.
You get points for capturing control points. You also get bonus points for kills in the control area when defending and kills in control areas when attacking.
Roger, nvm

I want to know that too.

Asking again...
In the raid, are you guaranteed to get your class' raid gear or is it possible to be awarded the gear for another class?
In other words, if I'm rolling with a Hunter, is it possible I get Titan raid gear out of the chests/bosses?

Yes. Thanks! We got some help and finished the mission.
I am 6 ass shards away from level 28... I guess I could just run around doing public events. Hopefully I'll get some in the VoG later tonight...

I guess it is your class gear... I finished the Raid three times with no gear
BTW people that have already lvl 30 with three Raid gears are using three characters with the same class (like three Warlocks).
The Helm of Saint-114 allows you to use that bubble offensively, if that interests you.
Helm of Inmost Light and Armamentarium are both great for Strikers. If you just want to pick one to work with as you I'd suggest starting with Armamentarium because when aren't 2 grenades awesome.
100% on the mark. That's just one potential build (call it "Lucky C") centered around those two exotic picks. Other builds using Lucky Raspberry but capitalizing on it differently- perhaps with a brutal heavy weapon exotic (bonus ammo for that too) and just a legendary fusion rifle- will be viable too. This concept is what I spend about half of my final guide talking about. Having both versatility and the ability to specialize will come in incredibly handy throughout the game and unlike most RPGs, you can dramatically change spec in seconds.
Thanks for clarifying. Doesn't sound too bad at all.

I've been doing bounties for the most part. I believe with my Vanguard rank, I'm level 1 with 691/2000 to get to the next level.
When you say factions, are you talking about the ones for the crucible; Future War Cult, Dead Orbit and New Monarchy?

This is why you praise the sun with a Sunbro.
Gives a bit of margin for error on the cheap deaths. It saved me from a wipe because of the stupid Psion Arc wave.
This is the one I was hoping for
11/11/14...MCC will save us all
Sorry man, I play Titan so it's little use to me at the moment.
Wish they kept trading in the game. :/

I haven't heard of anyone receiving raid armor for a class other than what they are playing. So I assume it is guaranteed to be for your class. If anyone had received raid armor for a class other than they were playing, the blowback would have definitely been noticed by now.

Shadow Price or Grim Citizen III? I cannot believe I will have to buy my first Legendary weapon; actually, no I'm not... I've had to buy all my Legendary and Exotic gear besides the Queen's Helm. Fuck you, RNG!
I've never seen it but anything is possible. Every raid gear drop I have seen has been for the class being played.

i'm trying to level up my raid weapons to help out with the oracles. good to go whenever you guys are though.
This video can explain things better than I can. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpIphx5EuBs (it's only 5 mins).
Definitely in for this, but I might be a bit under experienced.
Level 29 warlock
Main is fully levelled Dr nope , fully levelled gjallarhorn and a legendary fusion for oracles
I should really try it on normal a few more times but I'm a sucker for hard modes.
PSN is sploatee.
Problem is I'm on GMT, I'll be around tomorrow evening GMT.

But its not a guarantee that Raid armor does drop right? Just random like other Strikes and missions?

I won't be available for the next five hours but I'd love to do it during the weekend!
I'd like to try later tonight if you are still doing it.
Would be nice to at least get past the nexus boss and loot the gorgons chest. Think its possible using cheesy methods...

Can't wait for AR's to be balanced better for PvP
Pop a consumable and just go kill the enemy of your choice- simple example would be Black Wax Idol and WE'VE WOKEN THE HIVE (The Dark Beyond moon mission).Glimmer farming spot?
Whoa! Did you put the next part of the guide out? The builds part? I am wondering if intellect counts for the crucible? Sad to see Xur didn't have the spine this week. Sigh. I needed it.
I'm up for hard mode in an hour or so if you need one. Lvl 29 Hunter.

Yup, totally random. Pray to RNGesus.
Can you last 5 mins? Add SoSoSlick.
Sure i'll wait
Does level matter at all in PVE if you're doing a mission lower level than you are? In a level 24 strike, do I take less damage as a level 27 than I would at a 26? I know you do less damage if the mobs are higher level. But i'm wondering if my armor defense stat matters at all. If a level 22, 24 and 26 strike are all exactly the same for me that's pretty dumb. I can't even tell.
Was it a gold bointy? If so, it was an exotic bounty, which rewards an exotic weapon (shotgun in your case).
10 Buckshot bruiser medals? No its just a rare bounty.
Not yet, it's in progress! And yeah, hopefully Ahamkara's coming next week
Int/Disc/Str do count in the Crucible.
Unfortunately... the nature of "raid gear equals best-in-slot" effectively means that you really can't build about those stats at all. You have to equip the raid armor that drops for you. That means that the best advice is really to ignore those stats altogether when building, and just take advantage of the ones you wind up with as best you can. This is one of my least favorite things about the game right now.
Don't completely AFK, you'll get kicked.
Yep those are the different factions. If you're not having fun just playing the game the way you want to and feel that is keeping you stagnant for too long and just want to level up fast, just focus on one and get it to 2 so you can start buying legendary gear. With bounties you should be able to get to Vanguard rank 2 in 2 or 3 days if you do all the bounties each day.
Once you get one faction to rank 2, you'll get to 27 pretty dang quick. Once you buy one legendary gear you can start doing the queens mission and get both the helm and the chest in no time, then you'll be 25. Once the next Tuesday comes which should be right after you get rank 2 so perfect timing you can grind a few more Vanguard reps and buy a second piece of armor and then you'll have all 4 armor pieces legendary. Collect a few helium and you'll be able to level them up and be 27 and doing basically anything in the game except for the Raid in hard mode.
By early next week you'll be running newbies through the raid I predict.
