Speak softly and carry a Gjallahorn.
Or in ToO, one of the 3 hand Cannons.

Just realized I'm at #717 for ToO, not too shabby!
Also, if people teabag me/us, you can be damn sure I'm gonna pull every dirty trick I know to screw you over. No remorse.
We went 0-2 against a team that started teabagging us. Needless to say, we destroyed them 5-2 in subsequent rounds.

Those Scuf controllers are amazing...so expensive though.

People are saying to bring arc snipers and just down him as quickly as possible. I'll try my patience and time with extra ammo perk today/tomorrow and see how it fares.
The few times I've gotten teabagged in Destiny it's been by people playing a female character. That's not even a teabag
LMFAO, this made me laugh....

LOL good point. But chances are, they're a man in a woman's body.

I think we would've even lost the game if they didn't teabag us. Just the thing we needed to wake up and step up our game.
You can move sideways and jump (not double jump), that's enough if you are a sniper actually.

My Hawkmoon was leaving a sliver on every single one of them before they finished me off. That made all the difference in the world.

Clam Stamp.
Hawkmoon does that with a 2 shot every time without a bonus shot. It's always a 3 shot kill with no bonus.

It seems that having all just hitting him with Gjallarhorn works fine even if its arc burn.

Finally got Xbone "Guardian Lord" this morning! Had a few close moments, but we 3-manned normal crota for Flawless Raider cheevo. Been putting that off for weeks. Nice to finally have it.
Thanks for the response. I updated the list to reflect this for you and T-44.
Great!

You want to run PoE?
Yeah, he's good.
Unstable carrying two at a time and carrying so many people to the light house and ending up at #58 on the list on all consoles and #25 on the PS list is the crazy impressive... Hard to think of things that can top it!
Are there videos of this strat yet? Does it go as fast as ghorn? Need to wait for two cooldowns in the airlock? Thx.

I've seen on reddit people saying it isn't as fast, and you'll need to send someone out to take care of the first mine or two while the other two burn him down the rest of the way.

Better than having set elements IMO. I'd rather use a void pulse than my Epilogue.
I played the whole thing as a 32/33 and went 9-0 on all characters. There is practically no level disadvantage until you get 3 levels under your opponent.
I miss the Gears 1 moonwalk.

More etheric light, cores, and the very small chance at elemental primaries dropping from skolas... oh and that elder cipher bounty thing too...
The main guy was shooting him with just snipers, while some where shooting with Thunderlords. Both thunder lords and the snipers were stun locking him so they were bringing him down the same amount of time like last week. He was able to take him out without a Titan bubble too on a couple of runs. His 35 minute run (full PoE) was with a Titan with WoL for Skola and that was quicker ofcourse but doable without it.

Cool... I will just get some bounties first
You can get 2 perk week in POE per character. That's not bad at all. You have to go 9-0 to get a third in ToO.

Likely wouldn't matter for the actual direct damage of a sniper, but may impact the side perks.
For example explosive rounds may do 35dmg to nearby targets instead of 24dmg. Final Round may act differently. Things like that.

Certain snipers would be worth ascending, I would say black hammer and preadyths revenge if you have it.
Actually... I also have a question. I'm going to ascend Preadyths Revenge today, is it always a guaranteed kill on headshot? Even though it has lower impact than most snipers?
4% actually

Got a server maintenance pop up. Said players might be booted to the title screen. Be careful with whatever activity you plan on doing!
May have to break my No Destiny Tuesday rule tonight, there's so much shtuffs if you're taking things slowly
Want to do a 32 PoE on my Titan to drag him up to 34, and then my first 35 PoE, I'll be able to bring my Hunter or Bubblebro. Sounds like ascending some arc sniper before entering is the way to go.
Since I unexpectedly was able to get the Hunter and Titan chest from Vance, I might skip this armor piece and go for a roll or two on the Judgement's Chances.
Haven't experienced Skolas so who knows, but I otherwise like PoE so I'll try to squeeze in as many bouts of it as I can throughout the week... this is one of my favorite Nightfalls as well and I'm actually pumped for the Weekly with this modifier- use a Mythoclast or Universal Remote for double buffed weapons. Feel like running a Dragon train to level up a bunch of stuff I'm just now seeing the value of and do at least the daily Crucible activity on my three characters- I need that coin surplus for the weekend next time!
It's the same thing with teabagging, to some extent. One of the goals of the training sessions I'm going to start on Sunday will be to condition yourself against these psychological factors, to be able to ignore teabagging, level discrepancies and intimidation in favor of concentrating on every individual engagement. In particularly, busting out a rapid, aggressive first-round win can set the tone of a level playing field or even an advantage for us, even if we're up against a clearly better team. Of course, being able to stomach inevitable losses is a big deal too.
I ran with M3Rocket and pal last night, bleary-eyed and exhausted at like 2:00am. We went 2-3, but one of the losses was 5-4 to a team with a ringer wearing the 9-0 emblem on it. It was razor thin, with just a sliver of health on their self-rezzed warlock left on the elimination round. Even though it was a heartbreaking loss, it was one of my favorite matches so far since starting the Trials, because we really were competing and trading rounds with an ostensibly better team, just through solid communication, strategy adjustment and a lucky kill here and there.
I am sincerely looking forward to getting better at it, which isn't something that typically motivates me in competitive PvP (it massively does for me in PvE, but I was perfectly happy with my level of skill in the regular Crucible and didn't feel an incentive to improve). For delivering that experience alone I really approve of ToO.

There is a non-zero psychological factor for groups that aren't otherwise confident in PvP; seeing a full group of 34s, like seeing the 9-0 emblem or a good number of Osiris rewards as gear, can impact the confidence level of a group and subconsciously cause them to play more conservatively, and especially to get frustrated after first- and second-round losses. There are, also, a handful of scenarios in which the slight damage number variance has an impact- for instance, the Thorn two-headshot, I'm fairly certain, will not kill a 34 through ticking DoT if fired by a level 33, and I'm positive it will not if fired by a 32. However, you're right that in large part it's a negligible impact and not often the deciding factor. Soon, everyone will have the chance to be 34 and it will feel like less of a tilt.

Ascend low impact sniper rifles, won't make any difference for high impact ones.
Cool.
Either way, it doesn't change the amount of shots necessary to kill someone in 99.99% of occurrences.
