I'd say the opposite, everything else (besides shotguns and rockets) just needs a buff because they were turned to shit by nerfs (or were shit to begin with like pulse rifles).

I don't even care if I reach lvl 34 this week or not, the first Etheric Light will go towards Fatebringer.

This was me about 20 minutes ago. No regrets.

I knew this would be the response and I strongly disagree. All this would lead to is a power creep and a steadily decreasing TTK. And that's trash and just leads to less enjoyable matches.

Damn, i stil have about 150 combine shards, with like 750motes in my vault
Also, is there any specific role for Party Crasher? I hace one that i have not re-rolled yet
I'm looking for: Field Choke/Shot Package/Rifled Barrel/Luck in the Chamber.
I am, however, bummed about the non elemental primaries. I'd have done the following: keep the current system (weapon core), but add a special item to drop from Skolas which can "Ascend" or some other name a PoE primary to have an element. That, or sell elemental primaries outright with a PoE 35 special core or something.
That said, the way it works now is just random drops from PoE, the way raid drops worked. It's not a system I like, but it's one they have been comfortable using from the very beginning. I want a solar HC
It's odd they didn't go with this system given that you buy PoE armor, weapons, ships, shaders, class items all with tokens/cores that drop within the raid.
I think the key system is OK now that I've had a chance for it to all settle in. A key for each toon is a guaranteed exotic each week, but once you have all of them this isn't something you NEED to do. Same with the Queen weapons, once you have one of each you don't really need to keep rolling on the chest. I only had 5 saved up (1 left saved for 35), and I'm only going to be farming 2 a week for a chance at Gjallarhorn. If I ever get that, I'm not going to bother farming anymore keys.
I procured my third Gjallahorn the other day, so we're safe there. Maybe I should run 34 with my last character and upgrade Vision of Confluence?

Yup
Yup, and the weapons 365. No need to ascend, it's max right out of the box
Gah.
Spent all that time getting ready and then my connection died right before we launch.
My apologies. If you two are aroundtomorrow later today let me know. My Hunter is 34 and loaded out for the quick clear.
Also why Gjallarhorn needs an adjustment.

Agreed.

Only Thorn is.
They should reduce poison effect by 50%, because it breaks the game
Everything else is pretty much well balanced now

I'm looking to run PoE lv34 up to three times. Any takers?
Or are there any groups forming that I can join?

Some hand cannons can be overrated in pve but not fatebringer. It's a great weapon with great perks and arc damage. What more can you ask for?
Also as a thorn and TLW user in PVP, I really hope they don't. In fact I hope hey buff Auto Rifles again.

When is the Trials of Osiris event going to happen? Also what's the best way to get the treasure keys?

Today! And chest farming.
Joining.
Trails starts Friday 10am Bungie time (West Coast?) and runs til weekly rollover. And the best way to get Treasure Keys is to farm the chests from the Prowling Wolves patrol events, since we don't yet know if Xur will be selling them weekly.
Nightfall yielded Don't Touch Me (have'em, shard). My first PoE level 28 run got a Hard Light from the big chest (3rd, don't use it, shard). Nice to start getting exotics with more regularity, hopefully something useful soonish.
Gonna save my key for the level 32 or 34 one, unless I get another before hand.
PoE was fun, but the rounds were too short. But then it really seemed like a warm up lap of sorts, which judging from the impressions of the hard mode, it really is.

Surprised I'm saying this given my reaction to the "no raid" news weeks ago but PoE is much, much better than a Crota level raid. And its easily expandable for future Destiny expansions
I say overrated mostly because I don't care for hand cannons too much.
But, and this addresses your second point, I only use them in PvP because they have the smallest consistent TTK. TLW and Thorn just dominate in that respect. Like I said earlier, buffs are the wrong way to handle it. An all buff mantra for balance changes has plenty of downsides just as nerfs do. And lower TTK is probably the worst outcome you can get for PvP.
I remember people on GAF being unsure about this gun prior to release, but I can get behind this with that video. Looks fun as heck to play with.

edit: full!
I watched Datto do this fight pretty legit. They used Gjallarhorns but didn't just try to burn him down (i.e. they handled all of the phases/mechanics in the fight).
How did they control the adds? Or is there a break in add spawns if you clear them out.
Stream for us still trying to kill Skolas. http://www.twitch.tv/kadey1up
If they actually transition off of solar burn, it will definitely kill the quick Gjallarhorn kill. So hopefully people will actually have to learn the fight next week.

Anyone for PoE34?
They said the 35 PoE has set mechanics that won't change, only the 32/34 versions. I could understand that, as if there was a rotating set of modifiers every week, they would have had to tested skolas for every possible modifier (although apparently they tested solar burn and were happy with that so who knows?)

I don't think solar burn for skolas is an accident
After Hard mode Crota and the effect gjallarhorn had on that fight, Bungie knew what they were doing.

Add FRENDEN on PSN. I'm drunk, but I can shoot.
I mean solar burn is "fine", but I think I would have liked it plain cause it would not emphasize Gjallarhorn as aggressively as it does. That isn't so much the problem as Gjallarhorn just circumventing the fight. Like you still had to go through all the difficulty of Atheon and Crota but here it just avoids nearly the whole fight entirely.

Well, have to get one now. I have no idea why, but I'm so much better with long range weapons with a charge than I am with normal snipers. Should be really cool to use.

curious to see how they change
round 5 level 34 could be real annoying without the solar burn thats currently active
