Yeah, but that strike takes so long. There are like 16 bosses before you finally get to the end.

Yup, just Fist of Havoc everything.
Arc Blade? Fist of Panic
Ward of Dawn? Fist of Panic
Nova Bomb? Fist of Panic
Gold Gun? Fist of Panic
Fist of Panic?

After playing Defender for so long, it's nice to play Striker and just say fuck everyone.

lol I have no idea what sweatiest means in this context, but doesn't sound like a good thing
Don't worry sometimes I empty the clip blindly into cover hoping that one of the armor piercing rounds will hit:
Sadly it's extremely normal for VoG loot drops which were notoriously abysmal. The drop tables were much improved in CE although far from perfect.
Isn't it just lightswitch? Or was that not the daily w/ that modifier?
there are people running around with a green gozen-c sniper with the final round perk. they'll shoot the first two bullets and keep the last shot so it's a OHK anywhere to the body.
skipping the start, then go on cliffside with icebreakers for the captains and the tank, then skipping through to valus. Somehow survive Valus.
I think that is the only strategy I would want to try without going bonkers
Even then, man. Ugh.
I get so frustrated with Fist of Panic - easiest kills in Destiny. In fact, I think Warlocks (super melee that can reach half the football field) and Titans with their shoulder charge that can 1-hit you are really frustrating and better for PVP than hunters, at least in IB. Hunter's only have speed and that's it. Doesn't even make sense that a throwing knife is not 1-hit kill when it's much harder to use than a shoulder charge.
I know my opinion will be unpopular, but just what I noticed from the IB this weekend. Hunters were always easy to kill and with no shenanigans. Titans and warlocks are a different story though.

Yeah I agree 100%. The basic gameplay/game feel, VoG and the community have carried my interest completely. Loot is just a random side thing that's fun to laugh about with friends.

I disagree. Try playing a party of hunters which I ran into multiple times this weekend. Add lag and how fast hunters are. Forget about it.

My PVP Bladedancer beat a lot of asses in IB last week... it was fun to see the fear.
One of the best time was when I got the 5 guys together to cut all them in pieces... I felt like a God killer in the ring.
I'm a Titan and I agree, I can deal with Hunters with ease, but Titans and Warlocks can be a real pain in the ass to deal with, they have too many OP gimmicks at their disposal, not even including their supers. Like seriously, what the fuck is up with that Warlock melee range? That shit can get you from half way across the map. Thankfully most people seem to play as Hunters in PvP, so it's not really as big a problem as it easily could be.
It's my favorite thing seeing a poor guardian trying to run away from my bladedancer.
Pretty much. Destiny is all about the community and the gameplay. People that just want to troll don't understand that.
I haven't ran into a lot of hunters actually, but the ones I did face were easy kills. Most of my deaths came from a Titan or Warlock. Why is that they have super armor when activating, but golden gun has nothing? Small stuff like that is just frustrating.
At least you understand my perspective.

i played IB as a hunter and a titan and i get killed left and right by everyone and their dog...
fist of havoc? there were 4 fucking people around and i killed ONE?!

I love when them jump and my bladedancer just fly for their asses
That's because The Order took that negativity and put it on its back.

Had a pretty great Destiny weekend: Vision of Confluence, Abyss Defiant, and Oversoul Edict. Also finally got my first character to lvl 32 and had another Plan C drop during a strike. Throw on the clan trophies for Raid and Strike, and I'd call this past weekend a resounding success. Many thanks to everyone who helped, love this group.
I did my Necrochasm run with a team. I hate this mission so much.
I'd take no burn Valus any time of the day compared to omnigul.
It's an easy strike, just dragging a bit too long when at the boss.
That is, if they don't fix that crate safe~ish spot...

Fist of Havoc is definitely easy, I main Titan, but it's pretty lame.
With Arc Blade you at least have to be in a certain distance. If you rush a team from too far, they can easily gun you down.
Ward of Dawn is great if the other team doesn't have their supers up, if they do it's GG.
Nova Bomb requires good positioning for it to hit.
Golden Gun requires you to at least aim, and you can still easily get killed if not paying attention.
Fist of Havoc on the other hand, doesn't really require anything. If you're running Unstoppable, you are pretty much guaranteed to get it off. It's a free kill(s), unless you really fuck it up.
I'm just tired of doing it. It takes way too long and I usually end up dying at least once during the crystal phase and then have to start all over again.

I can count in one hand the times I died with First of Havoc...
Well I'm not a runner so maybe it is more for guys that keep running in the map... most times I kill the guy before it reaches close enough to First of Havoc.

That Warlock number is probably the difference between killing a warlock, having them self rez when they shouldn't, and then killing them again. It's not that you're running into more warlocks, its that they keep standing back up and you keep knocking them back down.

Plan C and the IB RL from one match. Too bad RL didn't have field scout so neither drop was terribly exciting, still cool though.
Oh trust me, I know about that move. Been doing it a lot with my IB sniper, through walls with the AP round. Given the timing of your post I'd assumed it was referencing my post just a few minutes earlier:
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=153297335&postcount=19397
Grenade and horseshoes, field scout and clown cartridge. Bam best rocket.
Fuck me! The game of peek-a-boo I had with a Golden Gun wielding Hunter didn't record. Bastard missed all his shots. I was literally ten feet in front of him and he still fucking missed. I think Phanteon was backing me up at C point on Rusted Lands at the time when it happened.
All I could think was how the fuck was I still alive. Like who were you shooting at?!

I just hate it.
Reached level 5 last night in IB. I still have 60+ motes and can't decide if I should stop while I am ahead or reroll. My timurs has performance bonuse, crowd control and field scout. Felwinters with return to sender, hammer forged and shot package. Keep going, or good enough?

Good point... most guys self rez instantly that make me wonder "you really want to be killed lol" but some times you face some smart self rez guys... these are the worst because you need to deal with a new enemy and the self rez guy in your back
I can regularly sparrow to the final hallway... Sometimes all the way to the ogre.
Then if you have at least one friend with you and your whole team focus fire on one wizard at a time it goes very quickly and the lightswitch in the final room is not so bad.
I usually skip this daily if I'm alone though.
Same here. I don't have the CP, but we can get a farming group together later if someone can share it.

If nobody share with you in the next 20 minutes I will be glad to share...
I am in your same boat. Definitely needing to farm tonight.
I have enough glimmer to buy one of the IB weapons. I'm rank 4 right now. Should I buy the shotgun and go on a glimmer run? I haven't done Weekly on my Titan yet and with Ether Seeds + Black Wax Idols on, I can easily net 3-4k glimmer on just one run. I currently have over 14K glimmer.
Thing is there's a bounty to collect 200 shards or whatever it's called on the moon today. No skipping for me.
It's comical when it's just used for me by a corner camping titan. Frustrating at the same time though.
I bought the boots thinking it would take me a bit to get rank 5, then I hit rank 5 just wrapping up some bounties leaving me to broke to buy a weapon. I'll remedy that soon enough, but I kind of wish I saved for the scout first. At least then I could be levelling it while glimmer farming.
Ok.
So many farming grimming guys...
I will try to remote play from my 3G phone to share the checkpoint... try to join me guys
Edit - Fist try Destiny servers are down... it is not even a Remote Play issue
Weird I see you in orbit, but can't join.
man I couldn't agree more with this
I had over 20k but I wanted the boots as well so I bought it. I'm just gonna wait till I hit rank 5 and buy the scout rifle first.

Farm glimmer up.
I can't stay a lot of time because remote play eats my 3G/4G data plan

I feel like people stopped talked about glimmer cap increases and so have Bungie. What do you guys think are the other features of the patch that Deej hinted at? I am expecting bug fixes, nothing too exciting.
The shoulder charge is the worst, lol.
