So is Atheon's Epilogue worth using in the Crucible after the stability upgrade?

Go farm a material
You will kill 4 birds with one stone
Do the loop/route of said material you are farming, pop as many chests, you will earn enough green weapons/gear to dismantle
In a hour you gain at least +50 to each
Also you get materials out of chests + glimmer + engrams + ship blueprints
Also pick up patrol missions and do the kill in area or kill grab said material they drop or assassination, you don't want to go do the scouting missions (grab them, then cancel them, so the mission marker can refresh to something else next time it spawns)
So Materials from weapons/gear + Materials from Planet (of Choice) + Glimmer + Engrams + Kill Counter+ for Grimorie (which also has bonuses once you reach certain thresholds)

Haha omg
the bubble shield isn't even best used for revives... weapons of light is pretty invaluable in the raid, and the respawn delays make it quite a bit tougher to use the stealth revive as frequently. bladedancers are incredibly helpful in nightfalls though.
I thought we were playing hard mode again tonight. You already beat it?
This dude knows what's up.
Bladedancer Hunters are also the best thing for the hard raid phase before fighting Atheon where you need to get the two relics. You go in pop fully upgraded Gjallahorns on that motherfucking gatekeeper and pop the bladedancer super with invisibility and pick up the relic and leave. You are done in like a minute with each portal.
I still love you Croft that you thought of this idea.
Bungie has never made a game with good netcode. It's always been a flaw for them.
I was using golden gun on the gatekeepers but that's brilliant.

I guess it would be hard to question that exotics are "often" OP until we define "often"... most exotics are trash in PVP. There are a few that stand out over guns in their class like Hawkmoon and Suros, can't argue with that, at least it gives value to the process of obtaining them.
My dispute is with people who think fusion rifles are broken, exotic or otherwise. Unless you guys are playing top flight competition all the time, you really can't argue that something is broken just because you can't deal with it.

Looks like I need to work on my invisibility skills. I tried it a few times and it felt like the baddies could still see me. I'd shoot, and pop right out of invisibility. After that, I kind of gave up on in and switched to something else in the tree.
It really is. I always thought bladedancers are super useless in the raid. Then he told me let's do it like this. I had a happy face when I saw how good it worked.
This is what my hunter thinks of titan supers
And here i was playing warlock like a sucka
I've killed bladedancers in my bubble. Shotgun + punch is all it takes.

Any video of this strat?
Bubble + shield + a shotty = Instadeath of bladedancer.

I'm down. I'll send you a FR.
We should have but we didn't. In the end, we beat that phase and that's all that matters.
Note to self:
Befriend some Bladedanicng Hunters.
A strategy that let's me go Bladedancer? This is an incredible idea.

Yeah, I haven't seen Weapons of Light used effectively yet. I've heard it's good, though!
Haha, that sounds amazing.

yea i mentioned this the other day. the enemies wont shoot at you when you're cloaked (even if they "see" you), and when you extend the duration you can make it to the relic in 10ish seconds. Bladedancer's vanish works well for that too.

Well, I figured this not long ago but shields have different color : orange, blue, purple.
Same as the "elements" on some weapon, so, when you shoot a shield, you watch its color and then switch to the approriate weapon.
You'll notice that when you shoot with the appropriate element the damage is in the damage done (numbers) is the same color as the shield.
The shield wears of pretty fast this way.
Invective is the best of the three, at the moment.
I've got Bad Juju as well as Invective and once you get String of Curses on Juju it's pretty awesome.
Not a fan of Thorn though.
Can you and fig play tonight? I thought up a new strategy for being Atheon. We won't have to worry about the bubble that we have to break through anymore. Well we won't have to worry about getting blown up by the squidwards in the bubble anyways.

Thank goodness hunters have some utility in raiding. For a while a was starting to think I chose the wrong class to have as my main.
Yup. Took a few good tries though. The normal raid is easy as shit with a good group though. The only parts you can fuck up are the jumping and gorgon stealth sections.

This is kind of Video Games 101. See shield color, use elemental weapon of that color. Though I'll admit that it took me a bit to realize what was going on too, and Bungie should have made mention of it at SOME point in the game.

Just post here on Tuesday...After everyone has a chance to do the Nightfall for the XP, many will be running the Raid. I know I will.
Feels great to me. Hand cannons work well, scout rifles are great on the large maps too. No need to FR or AR to win.
I took the bad juju bounty since I already have the Plan C, and I wanted a primary exotic weapon. Still haven't worked on it though.

I can, yeah.
Yeah, I'm up for it. Bunta beat it too but he said he could help out. I'm not sure if Zoba (Twilight) is joining us. I hope he does.
