With the amount of RNG involved in everything in destiny it's hard to make such a definitive statement. I was just speaking from the experience the community has with strike drops. And even then people argued about drop rates after like an entire year of strike exclusive drops and shitty droprates. I got back to back keys in 2 heroic strikes, doesn't mean the drop rate is significantly (or not) higher than normal.

Re: Trials - do gold bounty rewards not contain any year 3 gear?
I rarely even get to 5 wins. If this is true I guess I'm done with Trials

Yeah seems like it's all Year 2 stuff.
I got a y2 fusion rifle from my gold bounty
At least the drops are good for infusion if you need gear.

That's kinda my point though. The difference in droprates seems to be so neglible that it is "quicker" to farm the keys from normal strikes, since you'll have more strike completions (and thus more dropmoments) in the same amount of time. Whether those dropmoments turn into keys is offcourse RNG.

Only the new ghost shell can drop from the gold tier package. Everything else is Y2 stuff.

Ranked up with my Factions 6 times today and not one ghost. It's the only thing holding me back. It's almost 10 LL lower than everything else I own.
For the raid: I'd prefer to have everyone over 370 and have finished the raid at least once.
For the monitors: nothing special.
I love my new PvE shotgun:
No full auto no deal.
Get the trials shotgun. You can't get any better than that for PvE.

I had that exact thought. That'd be so helpful. It's no wonder we can't buy them anymore lol

He has already not sold exotic engrams in over 6 months.
Oh man. RIP the dream
Did Bungie ever comment on that?
I only started paying attention when RoI dropped.

Okay well im only 366 and I've never done the raid so it's all good if you need someone else.
Full WoTM run with monitors, 10 am EST (PS4) [2 hours from this post]
1. Weteha (Warlock)
2. grave
3. tick
4. molnizzle
5. LiK (maybe)
6.
Keep in mind, we have to finish the raid to get the quest, so ideally be 365+ and bring some free time with you
I'll go if u need someone

What are all the sources for skeleton keys? Heroic strikes?

You get one guaranteed when doing the story mission (so you could get 3 if you use 3 characters) otherwise yes the Heroic strikes + Nightfall.
Reddit has a seemingly unconfirmed theory that the 320 Siva crisis playlist actually had a better skeleton key drop rate than the 350 Heroic playlist - it sounds more like confirmation bias than anything else but given the weirdness of the 320 Sepiks strike I'm not totally against the theory. I'm planning on saving the two keys from my alts until my Warlock main gets up to 365.

Even if the drop rate is anywhere close at all, it's probably better to do the 320 strike list for them since the strikes are so much easier/quicker to get through I imagine.

I'd really love to run this. 367 Titan. We got to the boss last night with all monitors but ran out of steam. Had the tactics down on lock.

Fwiw I've gotten more keys from the 320 playlist than I have the heroic one. Probably just a case of rng and/or confirmation bias as you said but that doesn't change the fact that I've gotten more keys doing the easier playlist lol

Wait, there's no 320 version of the Nexus? Dammit, I love that strike.

Would you believe that after they were nerfed and were already not being used at all, they got nerfed again?
Bungie: we nerf everything!
Postmaster?

Nope, nothing. Super weird.
Those were removed around the same time 3oC were introduced
doctrine archetype had 3 nerfs right?
first damage
then damage and counterbalance
then magazine size
or something like that

Oh shit you're right lol. The magazine one makes no sense to me.
I mean it was EITHER nerf the damage OR the magazine, not both.
Now I need like an entire clip to kill one enemy. Need to find a new weapon that I actually enjoy using, doctrine was so much fun.

Does outbreak prime monitors need to be done without orbiting from the raid?

Yes, one person has to stay in at all times to keep it going.

Except it didn't need either of them. After the two damage nerfs, you literally never saw anyone use that archetype anymore. And Bungie nerfed it! And yet Universal Remote is still sniping people.

Can you hold more than one key on a character at the same time?
Wait, there's no 320 version of the Nexus? Dammit, I love that strike.
Bungie wishes that strike never existed. Too much cheese. To hard to do legit with the wrong burn.
No 3oC were introduced at the start of TTK.

Yes. I'm not sure if there's a max but I have 3 keys on my Warlock atm
Someome mentioned five before, not sure how legit.
Thx for the strikes, dude.
5 is correct, i have 5 on one of my characters and it says (max) behind the number
