Sorry if it was asked already:

Are DOUBLE BOINTIES possible for the Banner?

If yes, how?

I would assum the same way it would work for any others. Log in before reset, wait for new day's bounties, do them, log out, bounties should have refreshed. Do them again.

This kinda sounds unnecessary though. It'll take ages and you can just wait a few days to level up much faster

I've yet to get an exotic from gorgon chest

I have got 1 few months ago I got Universal Remote (sharded). Beside that only exotics Ive got from VoG are 3 Vex Mythoclasts.

Sorry if it was asked already:

No since they are always the same bounties everyday and you can't double up on repeats from the day before.

i've only gotten one (TLW) from a gorgon chest and it was on my very first VoG playthrough never again since.

 

[Bradach]

I read in the guide in the OP that only one exotic piece of armor can be worn at one time.

I'll hopefully be in a position to purchase some exotic armor this weekend and I was wondering what I should consider when choosing my exotic armor piece? For example is a helm better to have than boots, or does it all come down to the upgrade path for each piece?

 

[Sabotage]

Got Patience and Time from Nightfall... this thing good?

I already have IB and just got Black Hammer

If you like stable sniper rifles for more rapid/accurate firing.

Most stable in the game at a 92 rating. Next one is Praedyth's Revenge at 83.

LDR (Vanguard) is at 52.

Xur.

You know what you can sell tomorrow... I just need more 4 exotics.

Red Death
Universal Remote
Necrochasm
The 4th Horseman

And a Exotic Engram to waste all my motes of light.

i would recommend having an exotic chest piece first, then also getting an exotic helmet next.

Do not destroy your best Legendary helmets and chest pieces as you would swap between these items when the situation calls for it. I for example have a different setups for Crucible, Nightfall and normal PvE.

Usually since helms are more expensive and harder to get in the raid, one could say they are valuable. I personally think its the perks that make the exotic good/bad. I assume you're new to the game so the main thing to do really is get a stockpile of exotics and switch between them depending on the situation. But for your first exotic, it doesn't really matter what it is. The light it'll give you to level up is more important

It is the best Snipe in the game... better than IB but IB have infinite ammo that makes all the difference.

I would assume these are base stats. You also have to take the upgrade path into consideration as well as the perks. I have a rare sniper rifle which has comparable stability to P&T.

and he/it's not going to sell the Necrochasm as that is the equivalent of the Vex Mythoclast from Crota's End

If Xur brings a chest engram I'm gonna be conflicted between chasing that Praxic Fire or saving my motes for rolling the best perks on the IB RL & Handcannon.

oh yeah, stupid gamewide platform limitations :E would love to see Flayers and Nexus 2 sometime as a Nightfall too...

I'm at 109 MoL... NEED Praxic!

How do you use motes to roiling best perks on weapons?

 

[Zocano]

I hope it's a helmet engram. Want to try and get all the warlock helms that I don't have. Only one I've got is Light Beyond Nemesis.

 

[Izuna]

I'm at 109 MoL... NEED Praxic!

Got 194 of them, and I have bought an exotic Engram twice I think.

Everything I complained about when the DLC hit, commendations, exotic shards etc. I now have in extreme abundance.

They should have just made everything drop randomly purchaseable and sellable with glimmer.

 

[LollipoPReapeR]

You can take your Ib weapons to Lord saladin to reroll for motes of light

Same. Want dat obsidian mind. Also wouldn't mind a couple of hunter/titan helmets too

What is so good about praxic fire?

 

[silver.tongue]

It looks godly.

 

[LollipoPReapeR]

Imo warlock exotics generally suck. They don't have any 'great' perks. HoPF is probably one of the best ones because the cooldowns on your stuff while in Radiance is even faster and sometimes those few extra grenades help a lot. It also has carry extra heavy ammo perk. It also looks sweet

Spoiler

I can't comment on obsidian mind cos I don't have it

 

[Kyne]

Bah. You guys always have IB teams going on in the AM.. I play in the PM :[

I'll be on tonight and get a team going. I usually run with one other friend but it'd be nice to see some other GAF repping.

 

[ethomaz]

For Sunsingers it increase the cooldown of all habilities using Radiance... eg. you can spam 11 granades instead 6-7 while Radiance.

For me there are two exotics for Warlocks:

Obsidian Mind for Voidwalkers
Heart of the Praxic Fire for Sunsingers

Obsidian Mind make your Voidwalker a SUPER spam machine... each SUPER you use already fill a new one to use if you killed enough enemies.

Kinda in the same boat now. Will try to set up a team in a few hours if there are no more spaces in existing ones. Just start inviting people, it usually works. Plus there's enough people wanting to IB now getting a full team shouldn't be tooooo hard

 

[DrDrizzay101]

Anyone else for Iron Banner? 1 spot now.

 

[TP-DK]

Lol never noticed this before, but the announcer in the tower just said "Ghosts are not to be used as target practise"

 

[Hyun Sai]

Warlock exotics sucks because they cheat death. Balance in the Force I guess.

Unless I want to be 32 (Exotic helmet and crappy raid gear), I usually use the new exotic gauntlet, double melee is life saver.

If I reroll an IB weapon thats 300, it won't lvl to 331 that way?

[E92 M3]

Any1 notice that after this patch Crota has really been getting up way to early, I have no clue what triggers it, but his animation from kneel down to getting up sometimes is instant

I do sword duty most of the time and my inner timing for his kneel-down to getting up is off by 1.5 seconds
Private was doing sword and I was calling out the hit marker and combo callback, almost 3 times in a row he would get up way to quick
Hell 1 time he was instant with me and the hunter invis trick and caught me off guard, I was just had hit 4th strike and already invis, but somehow that instant stand-up and he swatted me down =/

I noticed it too. Last night was the first time I died in the last few weeks.

 

[LollipoPReapeR]

I noticed it too. Last night was the first time I died in the last few weeks.

This was the first time I did it on my warlock so I put down not being able to do 2x uppercut as usual, on my warlock just being slow, but what is being said makes sense cos I was on Crota before he even went down which means I should have had enough time to get 2 uppercuts in before he goes orange....

You really should do.

Just for the looks.

 

[DrDrizzay101]

Has anyone here actually seen an Iron Banner weapon (sniper or AR) drop during a match? I just hit IB rank 3 and haven't seen a single weapon drop for any of the 12 people in each match. I mean wtf.

 

[ethomaz]

I was checking my To-Do list for this week and I need yet:

|Warlock|
VoG Hard

|Titan|
VoG Hard

|Hunter|
VoG Normal (too low for hard yet)
IB lvl 3 (I need that Gloves +36)

We noticed that we'd seen no IB weapons drops when we were playing yesterday. Based on that and our experience in previous IB events we theorized that the legendary weapons drops may be tied to your IB rank.

 

[Deku Tree]

Crota has been trolling me for the last 2 weeks!
(Loot Wise)

So much STR or DIS rolls on my gears, where the fuck is the INT!
If I do get INT it's not enough to compensate two or three other pieces which really pisses me off
I'm still stockpiling my R. Shards cause no class yet has gotten the rolls I need where the gear compliments both sub-classes
I'm closing on the elusive 189 R. Shards (21 shards per piece, 63 shards total + exotic over 3 characters, I wouldn't be surprised if I reach 252 R. Shards, all 4 raid pieces for all 3 characters)
Hell I can't even swap R. Energy yet due to it

Did 3 Crotas this week, most were dupes that got dismantled with way worst stats than what I already had
Only silver lining is Titan got the helmet, but rolled full DIS >_<, if I use it with Arma, I go way beyond the DIS cap and other 2 stats are like < 25%
Mix and matching is such a pain =/

I'm grabbing Gauntlets from IB for all 3 chars, all run INT/DIS + AR or SR reload with a melee ability (raid gauntlets have that useless Hive perk/talent), biggest bonus is it uses Ascendant Shards, so I can burn those and wait + save 63 R. Shards in the process for the long run, until I get that perfect roll, yet still inch closer to 32 for the time being on all 3 chars

________________________

Hudson was nice enough to hook me up with Gorgon, well...

Now you see why I save my coins Deku! (also why I have a stockpile to open my own guardian casino), why waste 23 Strange Coins when I know I'll get the weapon down the line, I wasn't hurting to have TLW, well now I have it ^_^
So only 2 exotics elude me, Red Death and No Land Beyond from having all of them
(Necro and Fate notwithstanding cause they ain't available)

Haha. You must be a lot luckier than me. I have mostly very bad luck with getting dropped exotics.

I got TLW 1.0 from NF ans I upgraded it with Xur but I never really used my the last word anyway...

I got like 160+ strange coins and if Xur is selling an exotic that I don't yet have then I just buy it right away. Too many of them I would never have otherwise.

Hmm that would be interesting. I'll throw up a post if I ever actually see a damn weapon drop, ha. I'm only really playing for the 36 light ass mat gloves and Timur's, but that sniper would be nice. Don't give a fuck about the low-impact-high-ROF/Mag size AR. (edit: well, really just playing because it's usually fun)

Is it too time expensive to reach rank 4?
