I'm down. Mr-Stephen on PSN
And your avatar is the Burninator
Something wrong with this picture
Next thing you'll tell me you install lightning rods all the while you're tossing lightning grenades
I'm thinking for Skolas we should have one person use all their rockets + synth rockets while the other two focus on Black Hammer headshots, then the next person switches to their rockets and the first one goes to Black Hammer, then the third etc
So that there are two snipers on him at all times?

Phoning home to grab it.
As always thank you and will be paying it forward.
Do rockets make him get jiggy like they do Atheon? It's really frigging annoying to try to crit Atheon while he's juking to avoid rockets and grenades.

When I did it during the solar burn week everyone sniped, popped special synths in the bubble, and used gjallerhorn to clear adds in an emergency. Never stop sniping, so skolas cant teleport to you.
All Rockets Hawk. All Rockets.

I'm pretty sure Tower Ghost is on android. I use it on iOS. I like it better than loadouts, mostly because it has a chrome extension and the loadouts synch across both.

Streaming PoE 34 now.

true, and if it is ever pointed out that the defense lawyers work for the insurance company the case can be thrown out or something like that. I recenlty got my P&C liscence and I seem to remember something about that.
Do what I'm planning to do: wait for the nerf.

Should I ascend Praedyth's Revenge or Black Hammer? I'm primarily a PvE guy, but I want to have a decent sniper for Crucible. Does 331 vs 365 make a big difference for Black Hammer?

So Her Benevolence might be better than Low Grade Humility for PVP?
Which should I prioritize with my rerolling?

We did 2 Gjallarhorns and me with the Black Hammer. He went down about halfway through the first mine.
I do think that the rockets push Skolas back more from you than the sniper however.

Wow, that almost physically hurts me to see it done so quickly. Is 2 Hunters the norm for your team? We had 2 Titans and a Warlock at the end when we actually killed him, but as I bitched about before the mines kept going and we didn't get to them quickly enough. That center mine is devastating if you're not a Hunter or have a Titan bubble ready.
I've upgraded both. Black Hammer is the one you want to do first. Great in PvE and very solid in PvP.
I rolled a neear perfect LGH, but will be trying again with Benevolence. LGH doesn't have enough impact for my liking.
Speaking of I just hopped into my own instance to start sharing.
First pull: Gjallarhorn
Second pull: The Last Word
Thanks for the CP.

Just got called up for a panel. Wish me luck.
Tower Ghost for Destiny works across multiple platforms (Chrome, Firefox, Android, iOS and Windows Phone). It also has loadouts, but are cloud saved and shared (except for FF). Tower Ghost has a lot more features.
The Bungie API only allows one call per second. When swapping weapons, it takes two calls at the minimum. One to move to vault and then from vault to Guardian. If you have a lot of weapons to move, it will take a bit, but still quicker than using Bungie's web site or app.

what are the skolas drops. what stuff do you get from 35 poe?
Her Benevolence- It has higher impact which is really handy.
Both snipers are great but I think the a Queens sniper just pips the LGH.
PoE drops a guaranteed Armor Core, a Weapon Core and an Etheric Light. Skolas has a (low) chance of also dropping an elemental primary PoE weapon and a (good) chance of dropping the Exotic bounty quest.

Don't mean for this to come off the wrong way, but after failing an encounter for more than an hour, i'd be inclined to realize that something is being done wrong. 4 hours is insane.
There's only so much trial and error you can go through before you discover that there's an inherent problem with the approach. My Skolas attempt on Arc burn was unsuccessful for around 45 minutes until I started using a rare Arc sniper. It wasn't anything close to 365, but that alone gave us the extra stun and DPS we needed to defeat him.
On Void burn, i hardly used stealth for Hunter. Once the bonds were broken and Skolas was weak enough, we'd run to the mines as a team. This is of course dependent on Skolas not putting his feet up on the one mine, but I can't imagine that he'd be there enough for the run to be unsuccessful for that long.
What was the main issue with the run? Stealth is certainly helpful for the mine part, but on Void burn I don't think it's a necessity.

1 armor core, 1 weapon core, 1 etheric light + house of judgment rep
First time you do level 35 on a character and open the big chest you get a unique shader, emblem and ship
Anything else you get from the big chest is just RNG (queens weapons, exotics, etc.)
Elder Cipher exotic bounty can drop immediately after killing Skolas, as well as elemental primaries.
Man, sorry your still having trouble with it. We've killed him before and died from some add splash damage before they de-spawned. It was pretty frustrating. Have your Warlock go for the middle mine and use his self resurrection if he goes down. We've run two titans and a warlock on the (edit) arc modifier before. I was the Warlock and had to do exactly that. It helped that we had a blessing of light shield from the second titan when the first weapons of light shield died. I dipped into it before I ran middle. You should all be moving together anyway on the Void burn modifier.
That should keep him staggered. When we used Ghorn spam the first week, we just made sure we spread out so Skolas couldn't focus on any one of us. Titan put the bubble right at the door on the left where the Skanks come out of. Since we Ghorn spammed, we didn't need WoL. If you have two snipers, it's best everyone is at the WoL bubble, but if you don't stagger consistently, he will teleport right up to the group.
You're most welcome--happy to be able to contribute in any small way.
