2 hunters with golden gun can help out with the adds and/or take care of the first 3-6 oracles. ideally though, a warlock would just novabomb the adds.
...
Thanks.
This is what I need to know!
We choose not to watch any vids, because we prefer no spoilers!
I see. Thanks!

I feel your pain. All of the ass turds I had saved up before the lvl 27 wall allowed me to upgrade one circle in my exotic helm (still one to go) and that spent all my ass shards, and then it allowed me to upgrade one leg weapon, that even upgraded seems like a piece of shit so it was probably a waste. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Only 2 more weeks of playing until I get to see if my next legendary I level up is worth it.
Those abilities are from two different subclasses, for what it's worth. But yeah, Titans are pretty badass.

Don't go for Thorn. I finished the bounty and the return on investment for it is pretty much crap. It was really anti-climactic to get that as my first exotic.
In other words, the gun is meh and the bounty can be difficult.

A legendary isn't guaranteed. You got unlucky and didn't get anything while your friends both got lucky. Coincidence.

It's frustrating. At least I can be somewhat useful in the vault of glass now, haven't done that yet. Beyond that I dunno if I'm willing to put in the time anymore.
i know, i was just listing the things they can access that are practical in pvp. i assume the use of "plus" is confusing, my bad.
The way my team had it set up, everyone ended up getting the Blessing of Light buff. At around the 4 second mark during the relic buff, the Titan (me since I was the lone Titan on the team) would drop their shield. And with everyone all in the middle, everyone would get the buff. Alas, the same cant be said for Weapons of Light. For the times I dropped that particular shield, only 2 or 3 tended to go through the bubble for the buff. And that's even with me telling them that I put a bubble down in the back.
Yeah,the harpies a rea pain in the ass. I tend to use the Vision of Confluence on any near me while using a near maxed out sniper for those farther away for OHKs.
Well, I got to go take a bus so no more posts from me for another 40-50 minutes.

Fusion Rifles seem to do pretty well on them but the problem is running out of ammo - I'm guessing Fusion Rifles kill them in like 4 shots. I was using a fully maxed Suros and it takes 25 shots. Vision of Confluence is probably the best and actually the most OP Scout Rifle in the game with full auto and anti-oracle rounds.
Thorn is so good in PvP... sooo good. But yeah definitely underwhelming in PvE. I have both the Juju and Thorn and Thorn is much better than Juju in it's current state.
Yes, I am curious how everything plays out. Unfortunately, I don't think Bungie thought everything through. It's unfortunate, they grew so big that small details and balances are being overlooked.

If you use the shards on an exotic instead, you can get to 28 with 28 shards. Fully upgrade the exotic and get 2 upgrades on one other piece.
I poked and prodded my Halo friends into getting ready for the raid finally and pretty much everyone in the clan has put the game down now that we're done with the last piece of actual unique content. Probably for the best.

I prefer the Doctor Nope in PvP, although the Thorn does work well there. The radar staying up while aiming is pretty badass.

My favourite trick to use if I have mobs close by I can't handle is to toss my bubble up and wear the helm that blinds mobs who enter the bubble. They basically get 'drunk' and confused for quite a while, taking off the pressure. It's a last resort but it works great.
It's also a great thing to use if you know you are going to have unwelcome mobs coming out of a spawn door. Pop the bubble and they must pass through it, and walk real slow, don't fight at all, and wait for you to beat them down. It's a great crowd control tactic. Makes a nice choke point.

I have a purple fusion rifle that one shots them
though my main issue with Aetheon is getting enough damage output onto him...

Actually guys, I'm not sure if any of that will work because the enemies do not seem to lose a percentage of their total HP depending on the amount of ppl in the group (unlike a Strike). You might hit the enrage timer on either Templar or Atheon.
3 shots, 4 with Symbiote helm. Yes you can easily take out the first few oracles with GG.

the problem si the supplicants is even if your team is cleaning them up perfectly they can actually still just spawn right on top of the guys coming out of portal...and they think your team isn't doing their job but thats not the case, just unlucky
This is another useful information. Thanks!
Normally that doesn't happen, but if it does I warn the portal team right away.

25? On normal or hard? What lvl are you? At lvl 28 I could finish off 2 with one mag. I was able to clear 5, almost 6 on my own, but definitely needed support fire to clear them all. I would love to get a good scout rifle though.
As I stated before the best way to get shards:
- Daily
- Public Event
- DE Exotic or Leg. armor
- Raid chests 5 in all
- Level an alt to complete the above all over again

That's true, I was thinking about that. Have to see if I can get lucky and get an exotic this week or if I'll have to wait for Xur to come back next weekend.
Do you have an exotic armor piece? It seemed like I didn't have much trouble hitting 28. I simply put all my ascendant shards into my exotic to max it out and some shards into my gauntlets to almost max it out (just one bubble away from max).
I never paid attention to ascendant shards and the like since I mainly do Crucible.
I do have a lot of play time invested since I was doing PVP pretty actively. Planning to cut back though. Don't think I'm worried bout getting to L30 though. Since it requires raid equipment apparently. Maybe one day I'll have time for a raid I dunno

Yeah, I went with the exotic route, since you are going to want to wear an exotic helm anyway.
Okay, I finally pushed my alt Titan to 28 and did some raiding/nightfall.
For the record, my first character is a 28 hunter.
After my extensive analysis, I can safely say that Titans are the better class in PvE. The WOD is just more useful to me and the team, and I find my titan living longer in general. Still, I don't think any content requires a particular class, and in nightfalls my hunter's stealth rez is still MVP.
In PvP, nothing probably beats the bladedancer's super but I admit to not having a lot of titan PvP experience yet. I don't pvp much in general, at least not until Iron Banner.

I want to be a 29/30 bro, but not doing it until I get two more pieces of raid gear. I have all of the materials, but just waiting for the remaining pieces from the raid.
On another note, anyone else worried about the population hit this will have once COD and Halo launches? That's the one thing I hate about console games is that all players are coming from a confined pie.
I dismantled the raid Warlock boots by accident last week, not knowing you HAVE to have raid gear to hit 30 :/
Vault of Glass is easy as hell for me at this point. I have a dedicated crew I roll with. Templar and Atheon ain't shit to us

Yeah, and as you hand in the bounty you'll likely get a ship engram . I did it earlier to help someone on my friends list and his mate (both 27s, reckless and spectators for much of the game, lol). Dunno why it never occurred to me to play it through on my alt character, coul dhave gotten something nice at the end of the strike.
If they are for hard story missions (have only tried 28s personally) or strikes, yes.
A raid is about 60 to 90 minutes with most pick up groups. I don't understand why people say they don't have time to raid - it is really pretty short. If you go with a first time group, it will take hours for sure, but many folks are experienced and know what to do.
Yeah there might be a tiny hit. I know I will be playing Drive Club a bit when it releases. Since I love racing games. Still will drop in for some Crucible, Nightfall, Weekly, and maybe a raid at least once. Probably won't see any noticeable difference until late November once all the games are out. Like you're eluding too
I'm recruiting people for the flawless raider trophy. Who's in?
I have had HORRIBLE luck getting raid gear. I have nearly completed the raid on both alts, completed the main raid completely 2 times on my main. All I have gotten were exotic weapons ;_;
I said the the game 'Fuck you I'll do it myself' and leveled myself to 29 with my abundance of shards...I am back up to 23 shards and I have yet to do the dailies today.
I will go but we need to do a practice run before we do this.
"All I have gotten were exotic weapons". Come on bro. 4 raid clears, 0 armor items, 0 exotics, multiple chatterwhites and legendary ships though. UGH. Shards, energy, shards, energy.
Which class ?
Your guns do over 200 dmg / hit in PvP?
Because they get 4 reward items, but UI supports properly only showing 2 of them. I have few times got 4 items from PvP match with 2 showing and 2 as grey boxes.

I don't think my friends are ever going to make it to 28 before they burn out from the grind. They don't have that JRPG lineage like I do. I think I will have to jump in on some GAF Raid team ups. It would be nice if a compromise for Raid match making that they would only match two complete fire teams together. So like my group of three allows us to go in a Raid queue to be paired with another group of three. That seems like it would accomplish Bungies desire to have competent teams together.
Edit: Is the raid even worth trying on lvl 27?

Bro, sunsinger has other functions too than just self resurrection. Denying whole sub-class because one of its talents is just silly.
Also what is up with all this Gjallahorn hype? It never seemed to do any mind blowing damage to any of the bosses and was easily outclassed by sniper rifle alone.
If they are good players with some good weapons it's doable, that way they can compensate somewhat for "low level". 28 is sweetspot for normal VoG tho.
I got a Titan helmet and the Arc Caster AR from blues over the weekend.
