We both know that Bungie doesn't know how to nerf weapons without neutering them completely. If they do decide to nerf the Gj I am sure it won't be subtle. Either way, Hunger of Crota is the back up.

AwesomeIt's not so bad, right?
We will see on day 7 or 8 how I am doing. Luckily I am on paid holidays for another 2.5 weeks.
Let me tell you how much I love Plan C in PvP.
Seriously, it's a beast. I've gone entire games without firing my primary weapon once (which I admit, bungie needs to reduce the total amount of special weapon ammo in PvP games)
.
The range is insane on it. I didn't mind if one dude had it but I was against a team that had like three of them and it was nonstop FRs. Ugh

The LDR sniper and PlugOne fusion rifle are strong weapons. Looking forward to trying out the new hand cannon but the 5 bullet clip capacity sure is a turn-off.
I almost always ADS with it unless they are in my face. It's such an amazing gun and surprisingly good long range

That hand cannon one especialky can go fuck itself. I mean who even gets that bloody medal? Over all the games ive ever played, I have gotten exactly 2 of them. Fuck that bullshit

I wonder if this is bungie's way of making sure TLW doesn't completely dominate....
Edit: Damn double post. Woops

The LDR sniper is good and I like the AR Up For Anything.

It doesn't help that most HCs don't even have enough bullets in a clip(chamber?) to fully kill 3 people.
Edit: I would love to see some more bounties based around some of the more unique medals, though. I think they need to replace the current vehicle kill bounty with a splatter bounty.
I rolled a LDR sniper at one point but the perks weren't that great. Maybe the vendor one is better...
That's not the bounty - the hand cannon one is getting a kill immediately after switching to your handcannon. It's really stupid.

Any tips for the melee 5 cursed thrall bit of the urn bounty?

Do the DLC mission that's on the mission. Take someone with you to help (not necessary but makes it easier)
Only two things are possible without going batshit insane. Nerf the damage wolfpack rounds do (as it is now, it's like getting a free second missile hit every time for single target dps) or do a soft-nerf and design encounters so that there's a bunch of adds around one HUGE target that attract the wolfpack rounds.
....and even then if it's required to clear the adds, at all, the soft nerf doesn't work.
However, instead of either of those, the "smart" thing to do is not let us upgrade Exotics for House of Wolves + design a whole slew of new exotics....but that's not happening.
/whine
They need to fix the auto-fire bug.
LDR sniper has unflinching and armor penetrating, fyi.
A guy I pvp with regularly, A Screaming Yeti, can get them. It's still one of the harder ones, though, agreed.
Dude has a hard-on for handcannons on his Warlock, though, so he's always rocking TLW, Hawkmoon, or Thorn.
And we did go into a Salvage with 3 Thorns once, much fun.

Sword of crota mission has a couple and they move pretty slow. Run it three times and then the next phase of the quest is ready, you can start it immediaely (the acolytes) in the same mission.
Do the Chamber of Night mission. You should be able to get about 3 of them during the final fight room. Go to orbit and come back to get the last two.

Load up Seige of the Warmind.
Slow way:
Load up the level 26 version, there are two of them in there. Make sure you are at full health when you melee them. Shoot them once in the ankle to guarantee your melee kills them. After you get the two items, go to orbit and restart the mission, you should have a checkpoint.
Fast way:
Load up the level 30 version, there are 6 of them here. If you can help it, don't pick up the item when you kill them. Leave it on the ground. It will stay there through death.
If you are a Warlock, congrats, you chose wisely. Your melee is ranged, so you wont take much damage.
If you are a Titan, go Defender for that sweet overshield as you land your punch.
If you are a Hunter... throwing knives don't count. Good luck, you're going to need it.
What scope do you guys use for Hawkmoon? I was having a hard time using the default so I switched to Aggressive Balistics and was getting headshots left and right. Even got deadmmans hand medal the same match after I switched.
I've played for 700 hours and never realized how much difference there was between the sights...

Hunter can be nice to a Titan (see Fig for tips on being nice)
Titan gives blessing of light overshield to Hunter
Campfire and marshmallows!
Ugh. Ok. Whatever. It would have been fine if they had let us know they were going to nullify the damage output of all of our weapons every expansion (so every three months) and force us to level them up over and over again. But they told us less than a week before TDB hit.
my answers.
Titans and Hunters were made for each other!

Do Warlocks have a 1HKO?
I know us Titan's have our shoulder charge and Hunters have Back Stab.
I like to shoot them and bring down the health a little and then just melee for the kill.
I can see them nerfing wolfpack or reducing the ammo capacity to 1. Anything else will be going overboard IMO.

Yup very lame. And why is the Vex the only exotic at 323 or whatever?
I'm surprised you suggested nerfing it to one as that's a bigger nerf than nerfing wolfpack rounds. Much bigger.
I know, I know, you don't want it nerfed, period, but..
. Nerfing to 1 shot makes it worse than a lot of other RL's.Byron Bluth

So does the Urn quest give you Eris rep?
I did the first part and it didn't. I am the melee the cursed thrall now. I don't care to get the Gauhtlets since I have the CE raid ones plus better ones like Ruin Wings. But if gives me rep at the end I will finish it.

Because it was their intention to max the Vex the best weapon to go into the expansion with... except the waiting so long to do the Exotic upgrade patch that every caught wind of the exotic upgrade methods and hardly anyone bothered upgrading it, knowing that it wouldn't be as powerful as everything else.

Thanks guys. Did it on sword of crota. Grabbed two then orbit out and repeat. Am hunter, prob why I was having issues.

I know, I know, you don't want it nerfed, period, but..
I feel they are equivalent nerfs in a way - just choose which one you feel more comfortable with.
I edited that for you
Trust me, I hate nerfs. Though I've learned to never get comfortable with weapons I love. An unfortunate reality.
Actually trying the opposite, if they insist on nerfing I don't want it to be bad. Basically the lesser of two evils.

1. Light of the Abyss (Already Upgraded)
2. Song of Ir Yut
3. Black Hammer
4. Hunger of Crota (Do not have it yet)
5. Swordbreaker
I wanted to upgrade Light of the Abyss because it is so damn OP. It's like Plan C but it doesn't take an exotic slot. I love it. I have all the bubbles maxes for the other 3 I have but won't be sending the radiant energy until all 3 of my classes are at 32 by using the Eris exchange.
I got that as a drop! I wonder if the perks are decent compared to the vendor though...
EDIT: damn, that shot package perk makes it insane. I need to get the vendor one.

Pretty good range for a Shotgun.
