It happened to us at enrage today. Did you get that earlier or was it also upon Enrage? its only a problem of it catches us by surprise. If it's a certain thing that they'll attack at enrage we can be ready for it and get those rockets out for the last sword mid air or whatever

Yea it happened right at enrage for us as well

Weird question: how many 5000xp bounties does it take to fill one upgrade circle of a legendary weapon?

Assume post-NF buff to xp.

really depends on the weapon type and circle, check out planetdestiny db for accurate xp numbers for circle unlocks, example: http://db.planetdestiny.com/items/view/2266591883

then post NF buff would involve a 20-25% bonus to the 5k xp bounty being calculated in as well

 

[Korosenai]

Depends on what you're doing really. In PVE, you'll likely want to go with the extra ammo as the gun is pretty stable on it's own anyways.

In PVP, you don't need all that ammo, so you might as well make it more stable.

Good thinking. I've used the extra ammo on my VoC ever since I got it, just wasn't sure about this scout. Gonna just use extra ammo all the time and spray and play. I don't care about marking anything.

 

[Navy Bean]

count me in. It falls on icemans sword skills!!!

Yeah, Crota ain't exactly shakin in his boots lol.

 

[Kor of Memory]

So if I've done my math right.

It takes 18 big swings to kill Crota.

Someone showed that 1 big swing is roughly 15K damage. So lets say Crota has 270,000hp.

That means that a Weapons of Light swing should do 18,750 per big swing, or 15 total swings to kill Crota.

With the extra perk, a big swing should do 20,250 per big swing, or 14 total swings.

Now, If you really push for time, you can get in 9 big swings per sword, if using the 3 kneels per. Thus, you should be able to kill Crota on the second sword, with the 14th swing. 13th swing if using the super for the last hit.

What's nice is it should still trigger enrage at a safe time.

Edit: Even if you didn't want to do 3 kneels per sword, you could probably do 2 kneels per swing as long as you use the super once per sword.

Oh well look who it is. You gonna be on late tonight? Time estimate?

Perfect, seems like it's a sure thing then. They actually killed me and someone else on the team just as Crota died, it was an otherwise Flawless segment.

One more thing to remember during the fight! Congrats on the kill guys

I thought weapons of light didn't help the sword bearer at all?


*My team also had thrall swipe through the glass once Crota Enraged....

 

[Iceman829]

You just want to toss titan bubbles all over the place like they are going out of style.

 

[Byron Bluth]

So no confirmed Crux drop yet?

It is obviously tied to some weird thing you have to do? Kill Crota under a certain time? Kill every Gatekeeper that spawns?

 

[Navy Bean]

Me and Axo will be around fur sure, I mentioned normal due to my lack of weapons and whatnots but I guess I would give normal a shot

Sounds good... I get good drops when you're around!

 

[realcZk]

Oh well look who it is. You gonna be on late tonight? Time estimate?

no idea

 

[Acorn]

Think I'm gonna cut back heavily on destiny. HM Crota is soul crushing and getting a group to start with is getting harder for me with people on my fl dropping the game or having their own groups.

WoL doesn't proc on sword.

Oh... Really? That seems dumb.

 

[brianjones]

the sword is a weapon of darkness after all >

 

[Iceman829]

He must know you left your Gjallarhorn in your locker and you have no heavy ammo anyway.

 

[DrDrizzay101]

Yes, Mindlog

Sent you a FR a little bit ago, if you are still around you want to jump in for the 3rd kill here? 1 spot open if you can't make it...

Gotta wait for the next batch of hot-fixes.

 

[DrDrizzay101]

Oh... Really? That seems dumb.

The entire Crota fight is basically designed around avoiding the GHorn + I-WoL annihilation of HM Atheon. Oversoul is also designed to counter self-res abuse.

Can I jump in if Mindlog can't make it?

 

[figadapaura]

Thank you for volunteering for the open position of my nemesis.

If accepted I'll PM you the necessary paperwork to fill out.

 

[Navy Bean]

He must know you left your Gjallarhorn in your locker and you have no heavy ammo anyway.

Not my finest hour... I'm loaded now. Rockets for everyone.

 

[Cømet]

there isn't a lot of incentive for doing hard Crota every week. If I get crux of Crota and the two other primaries from Crota i probably won't do hard mode anymore so it's either not in the loot table right now or it is and the chances for it dropping are super low atm.

Either way I wouldn't believe what Deej says. They've bullshitted us before

Necrochasm will suck anyway, mark my words. Impact is a shit, not fancy firefly perk will save it.

Still waiting for this. I'll never dismantle it. NEVER.

Got two in the vault ready to go! Should definitely be patched in I reckon. The damn gun description suggests something greater than it is now.

I just want the Stranger's Rifle to be upgradable. It was like, the only good Pulse Rifle that wasn't an exotic.

That doesn't make sense either. THE Stranger's rifle, surely should have been your first legendary at least and not a blue. I mean really.


I hear great ideas in party chat all the time when me and friends are screwing around. Being able to buy elemental cores from Xur (at great cost of course) and use them to upgrade a weapon of your choice to a specific element type (perhaps through a quest trail of some kind?) would be awesome.

 

[Toejam2501]

Sounds good... I get good drops when you're around!

Apparently its my role in the game

 

[zewone]

I think Bungie screwed up.

The only other possible theory is that it's not dropping because your first HM drop has a guaranteed shader.

 

[AmateurHour212]

DeathJr... Are we PSN friends? I'm gkw212 on PSN. Let me know if I can still grab that CP. No big deal if not.

Haha, thanks.

BTW: It's my Efrideet's Spear with Final Round and that perk that speeds up reload when mag is empty. I'm compltely head over heals for it.

you fucking what

wait

Damn. I fucked up. He was 31 My bad. Sorry fig and KING.

Still need to do the Raid on XBONE. Too scared.

 

[Kor of Memory]

That doesn't make sense either. THE Stranger's rifle, surely should have been your first legendary at least and not a blue. I mean really.

Due to sharing a very similar design to Fate of All Fools, it was believed to have originally been an exotic (it even has the very unique sites), but after Fate of All Fools was given as a gift that was a bit debunked.

The weapons are very clearly modeled after each other.

I was watching Xplicit's stream (4 on a Friday...). Nice work. Forrest killing with the sword.

I'm a 32 Hunter x3. And I know how to use the sword for any team that needs a sword bearer.

We might need 1 around 10:30 ET. tonight.

 

[Jinjo]

HAY GORDIANS

MIND IF I HIDE BHIND DIS ROCK??

PLEASE DON"T HAVE AN ARMOR-PIERC...

Awesome. That's a great solution for when the swordbearer decides to be a dick. Today on my second go ar Crota HM often he'd just literally run away to the left. Superannoying.

 

[Liquidsnake]

No Land Beyond is amazing. I keep it in the first slot in my vault. It protects my weapons from thieves. P & T is a sweet gun.

So keep both?

 

[Homeboyd]

Going to say it, I have all new raid weapons and fatebringer is still king.

Granted they're not all updated yet and I reeeeeally love the new scout. But FB. For real.

It's hard to compete with Hand Connon+Firefly.

I have the scout from hm Crota and it looks like a nice alternative. Word of Crotas damage doesn't make up for a lack of firefly so fatebringer is still king of pve hand cannons imo

Nice work, nice xplicitone on your second kill. I assume it was much cleaner than our frantic mess last night?

 

[Born2Live]

Any groups need forming for a kill on Crota. Want to get him done on my 32 Warlock.

Can't believe I missed Dhruvs group earlier today due to not having enough glimmer to get to 32.

PSN is Ty_84.

 

[rNilla]

That Scout Rifle... it just feels like it packs such a punch.

My second time with the Hard Crota encounter I used a maxed out Fang and liked it quite a bit. I don't like using Fatebringer against yellow knights in HM.
