Destiny |OT14| Sticking It Hard in Crota's End

So how much grinding am I getting myself into trying for Iron Banner rank 5 (assuming that's the requirement for the handcannon)? I skipped the last one, and only did a bit when the tempered buff was introduced. Should I just wait until the weekend or grind out a few hours a night?

If you use a tempered buff and do the bounties each day, then you should hit rank 5 by the weekend. I made it to rank 3 then stop playing for 3 days. On Monday night, I use the tempered buff and manage to hit rank 5 before the reset. I starting "grinding" IB within ~5 hours of the reset. That will give you an idea.
edit:
Anyone have the Crota checkpoint or the Gorgon checkpoint? Looking to help out some friends who need to kill Crota/roll for Ice Breaker.
just call me checkpointasaurus, can you wait around in the gorgon checkpoint? I want to put it on my warlock since my warlock has the crota checkpoint and my hunter has the gorgon checkpoint, instead of switching around often.

Is everyone still down for this in light of the changes?
I'm still down and everything, done it plenty of times without cheese, and already informed the wife so as not to produce aggro.

I did IB2.0.
I did the easy bounties with the tempered buff every day, took me something like 2 hours each day. Got to rank 5 on Sunday.
It's very doable, but it's a bit of a chore if you're not that much into pvp like me. Still, in the end, it made me appreciate the crucible more than I did when first starting it.
That being said, if the bounty to get Fate of all Fools is still relevant, there's no way I'll even try it. ^^

Boom new patch one Atheon run resulted in me finally getting my Icebreaker. Exotic trinity now complete 2 Hawkmoons, Icebreaker, and Gjallarhorn. Nightfall RNG finally has no hold over me, feels good.

Ok I got the first chest for all my chars.

Now I need to run Weekly and Nightfall with my Hunter lvl 27.

Any good soul wants to carry me on NF or Weekly 30?
 
Wow, the Trials of Osiris content is already known. There's armor and weapons.

The shotgun has rangefinder, hammer forged, and shot package. it also has nearly double the impact of secret handshake.

Sounds broken.

Its weakness is stability and magazine? With those perks you'll be aiming to take advantage of the shot package anyway so stability won't matter and with a punch like that magazine won't matter either because you'll be one shotting everyone.

at the end of the week, we should all form a loser party, and purposely lose 5 matches in a row to have 5 medallions for the start of the next next iron banner~

That is exactly what I did last time.

All three of my characters have 5 medallions ready to go for tomorrow.
 
I guess I'm power leveling my upgraded Suros tonight... Thought I was going to have a night off before the reset, but I've got to prepare for the banner.

I have this same question . .trying to hit rank 5 for once.

Also do public event packages still give you 5K experiences?

Depends on when you play. Earlier in the week it takes a lot of grinding. Since the buff you buy with a mote of light Increases every day, by the time the end of the weekend you can get to rank4/5 within 2 days if you do all the bounties and play a couple of hours a day. Also need to use class item and emblem since the buffs stack

So we originally wanted to wait for the patch, but since it is now live do we all want to go ahead with the 4am EST multiple (3) runs for Crota's End?
