I passed on it too. I just got lucky and got it from a drop about a week later.
LDR/Longbow have the same impact as Ice Breaker and Efrideet's Spear/Black Hammer have higher. They are also all legendary leaving your exotic slot for horn or primary if you so prefer.
Pre-Dark Below, IB was THE sniper. Post, it's still boss, but not Big Boss.
I loved my IB since the first day I screamed like the Nintendo 64 kid when it dropped, but it sits in my vault now that I have an Efrideet's Spear with field scout and Black Hammer.

I really do!... but I have family stuff I should attend to now instead. ;_; Damn you family, for taking me away from Destiny with your love and affection, haha.
I'll definitely be on later tonight, but might not be for another few hours at least.

Are you all doing it from the beginning or Atheon?
If she finds out, pitch it as money saved by not buying other games?

I feel bad using Invective in the IB. In the Crucible it's somewhat balanced, but in the IB it's pretty broken.

I don't get what all this discussion is about, then. I thought the discussion was "should someone own an ice breaker". I split up some categories based on that. The replies I've gotten have still fit into those categories. I guess I don't know what's going on.

I'm a little confused on how upgrading Exotics works. I got The Last Word from Xur last week and I'm almost done upgrading it. I'm pretty close to unlocking the last node so I went and bought a shard from Xur and he has the gun listed in his inventory for upgrade and I can do it right now even though I haven't unlocked that node. Is there some sort of difference between upgrading it myself and upgrading it through Xur?

Yeah Starfire is pretty good too. I would like them more if they would give you a 3rd fusion nade but for intellect stats purposes they are great.
I really like Sunbreakers as well. Solar Nades last twice as long and if you spam them everything melts.

lol nooooooooooooo
Xur upgrades old exotics (max 300) into new exotics (max 331). He doesn't offer complete upgrades of perks/nodes. All that is on you.
Don't do it through xur! That's only for people who picked up the max 300 version of TLW.
It'll reset your progress!
I got so confused! Don't do that to me Orthogonal!
Upgrading a weapon from Xur's inventory is just for the purpose of getting an old, pre-The Dark Below exotic up to the new standards. Sometimes called "rexurbishing."
Any new exotic acquired, from anywhere, doesn't need to be rexurbished. Just upgrade your TLW by filling in its nodes, you're good to go.
Yup. Or a primary slot. Or *GASP* NO SLOT AT ALL!
That upgrade Xur is providing is for weapons that dropped pre Croats end. You don't need it.

No. It's stupid. You cant really upgrade it any further.

Cool thanks for the help guys! I was a bit suspicious of doing it though Xur since the gun's stats were all reset in the display window while I was scrolling over it so I decided to wait. Glad I did lol.

Playing iron banner reminds me why I hate crucibullshit and will probably never get fate of all fools.
I don't know if you misunderstood the question or what but the actual answer is "yes, there's a huge difference." Lavalamp just needs to put in that Exotic Shard he or she bought to finish it off at 331 attack.
Yeah, unless you have any old Exotic weapons or armor that max at 300 attack or 30 light, respectively, you never have to worry about Xur's upgrade inventory at all.

To fellow Titans out there, what shaders would you recommend with glasshouse? I'm running chatterwhite right now...
I thought arctic proxy would work nicely with it but it looks weird especially with the crota gear..

Where did you get your Suros from 4 months in and I am getting upset.
None at the moment though Crota's End Hard Mode shader may go great with it. Keyword is may.

Yeah don't do what I did with my leveled hawkmoon and buy the upgrade from Xur. It's only to take a 300 exotic to 330. That's it.

so you suggest they get carried in CE until they get a black hammer/spear? why not contribute with ice breaker until they get a black hammer?

I have no idea what you just said, but I'm just pulling your leg.
Happy Icebreaker day to all! (Except Ghalleon)In the future I say go for it first THEN post on here. Makes for a better story and more lols for everyone (except you, of course).

Exactly. Do not pass up on Icebreaker if you have the coins. You will regret it.
1st Nightfall I did back in September, got another from the Gorgons chest two weeks ago

Is it though? It was my first exotic that I have a damn about and I've been using it since October in pvp until I got better guns, and I just don't see it that way.

Bought it from Xur. He's sold it like 3 times now.
If someone doesn't have an Ice Breaker in CE they are de facto 'getting carried' and can't contribute? What?
