Hawkbro, you were in the VoG Raid when I got home so I just went ahead and did NF and Weekly with my Lock. I went in solo and happened upon another guy riding a sparrow right before it turns into an instance. I examined the guy and he only had one other teammate so messaged him and we ended up teaming up. The strike is pretty easy but the final boss room can get crazy depending on your team. To give perspective to mine, in the NF I ended up with two hundred forty something kills while my teammates had seventy something a piece and then with the Weekly I had up in the two hundred fifties while they again had in the seventies. My back! j/k they were cool guys and we had laughs plus just having people to rez you is of course, invaluable. Also, they both had Saint-14 on and it's HILARIOUS seeing the various enemies get blinded when they enter the bubble, never seen that before! A knight walking out slowly rubbing his eyes is LOL! blind Thrall so funny too. This was finally an instance where Timepiece could shine. I think it was literally made for taking on a large rush of thrall with Arc burn on. Soooo good. The Supremacy from the Queens missions was my true champion though. It could one shot virtually every enemy in there with the burner on and take down witches with the quickness. Not to mention it's quite handy with the boss' shield
Alas, my crap luck with NF rewards continues but I had enough marks and a commendation to get the Vanguard helmet and I could get gloves or boots too but I'm going to wait and see what I get from the Raid. Speaking of which, hyped as hell to try it! It's a bummer that the Vanguard armor has worse perks and stats (besides base defense and light) than my VoC armor and don't look as good but they'll get replaced with Crota armor in the end anyway. I'm just gearing up to hit 31 to help with the Raid as I prepare for the grind for Crota Armor! May I luck upon an armor piece or two in tonight's run! Did anyone beat it last night? I saw Boegy playing it for a while last night so he probably got far.
