Never thought they'd let you one-shot Knights in this game with a gun
turns out it's pretty awesome
Throw in a sniper every once inawhile & that's me too.

Pantheon is one of the worst maps in the game
How is it not? If you're not running content that requires these levels, why put so much effort into obtaining it?
The extra damage from 331 to 365 is cool, but unnecessary in normal circumstances.

Got an NL Shadow with triple tap and hidden hand. Neat.
It may get pushed back. PXLIV is not sure if they will make it on time.
Like there's a 80% chance it may get pushed back.
Just checking here but are you going to stream when trials arrive? Need something to kill time at work. Thanks a lot for all the effort you are doing for the community here.
I despise Pantheon. You are not alone.
Roll it with Full Auto and Firefly for a ton of fun.

Hmm, I'm a simpleton with a pay as you go flip phone with two young kids; no app thingies or able to just jump online at the spur of the moment, heh.
If I'm not able to get on when my turn is up, what happens? Am I bumped to the end of the list or just bumped one spot each time I miss it?
I plan on being online tonight around 8 CST if that helps anything. Otherwise no worries. Sorry for being the difficult one.

One at rank 3 and one at rank 5. 5k glimmer each. Someone that datamined this week's Xur correctly, also datamined the IB stuff.
So your level doesn't give a TTK difference. Got it.
But say two 34s were fighting with the same weapon, would one be at a disadvantage with it at 331 instead of 365? Now stack it with being 32 against a 34 and a 331 vs a 365. Does that stack enough? I'm actually just curious. We played ToO with a 32 last week and it didn't seem to matter, but he had a 365 weapon, he did fine and we got to 6 wins without boons.

I did it as a 33 and it wasn't that bad. I think only LT WOOD12 was a 34 and we didn't wipe once up until the boss. Fortunately we did the quick method with 3 365 Gjallarhorns.

5k is way too much. Especially since it's being handed out like candy in ToO/Arena, costing 10k for 2 is alot.
Yeah, upgraded several guns and turned some energy into shards.
The extra damage from 300 to 365 is ~28%. That's huge.
My priority is getting to level 34 on all three, then ascend my favorite 300 weapons, mostly VoG stuff and the 331 weapons will be last.
I don't have the hard numbers, but I played as a 32 with 331 and 300 weapons and didn't notice a difference when playing as a 34.
I'd say the two 34s in your scenario would still take the same amount of shots.
In practice it's a small difference in damage. If I'm one shotting mobs with a 300 FB, my 365 FB doesn't really matter
Agreed. Why buy them when you can get so many from ToO and PoE.

Clown Cartridge hasn't proc'd once on my rocket launcher, but Grenades and Horseshoes works like a charm.
Just play the game when you get home and wait for a message is my best suggestion. You can also watch the streams...

It is but it kind of makes sense. IB is the only match made activity that you can progressively work towards getting etheric light. In a way, this is the best method for more solo players.
It's completely upended how PvE plays. Roll with one when you do Cabal missions. Phalanx jousting, woo!
I'm trying to get one of every burn for each of my characters.
Not everyone can get so many from ToO and PoE
Surely you realize how douchey this sentence sounds.
Which most players won't, it's not a bad price at all.

Hey GAF! I'm having a hard time deciding what to do with my last etheric light (because no matter what others may think, for me they really are not easy to come by). I have already ascended my Fatebringer and my VoC, so I was thinking that maybe I should ascend my Word of Crota in order to have a void primary ascended. Other good options are:
Black Hammer
Found Verdict
LDR 5001 (arc, but not great perks)
Not a huge fan of ascending the LDR simply to try for Skolas this week when there may be a different burn next week and that fight seems really frustrating.
I'm happy with my armor options already, so I think I will use it on a weapon for sure.
So what do you think? What would you use it on?

I'm envious of the players who have 10k glimmer to drop on Etheric Light.
Black Hammer for sure. It's the most useufl of the 3 you listed.
Heh, yeah it probably isn't so bad with a full team of Horns. :3
Yup, I somehow managed to not take my new solar shottie with me on each three different occasions I ran PoE 32 this week.
And each time I rolled my eyes at my stupidity when facing those centurions...
I do, I'm swimming in glimmers, always have to buy synthesis to stop reaching the cap, and still haven't banked my amethysts from the story.
You don't have a pile of Ascendant or Radiant materials in your vault to trade with the speaker for glimmer?
I was running a lot of VoG and CE raids and I've got so much mats to trade for glimmer it's ridiculous.
But it's so easy to get glimmer.
Which says a lot about the DLC maps when I say that it's one of the better DLC maps, and that was the point I was trying to convey.
And what opinion ? that the DLC maps are so bad that Pantheon actually ends up becoming decent because of how bad the rest of the selection is ?
Also Pantheon is no where near Anamoly, Blind Watch, Skywatch, First light, level of bad.
Agreed regarding the TDB maps, but I actually like most of the new HoW maps.
Playing with my 4th Horseman BD build, it's now an Exotic that really lives up to its name. Becoming one of my favorites, possibly top 5 weapons.

At gorgon if anyone wants the chest.
You are not alone
I'm still hunting for that one.
Mine's maxed out on experience, but I don't have any of the bubbles filled in because of the great weapon parts famine of 2015. Guess I need to prioritize it.
It has always been decent but now it is absurd.
I used most of it for motes to roll perfect PvP weapons.
Maybe for PvE players. Bungie always caters to them.
