So to get a benefit from the perk, I need to be shooting at the ground. Sounds incredible. Was using it instead of field scout on my final round spear (for Bush League play). Guess I'll go back to that or lightweight.

I seen streamers using it effectivly, especially when they are near the ground.

Awesome, thanks for the tips. I generally always run Defender so that'll work well. Just need to move my weapons around and I should be good to go.

Nothing afaik. Really don't have any noticeable purpose, except maybe bullets bounce off surfaces more? Doesn't seem useful at all.

Oh, lol.
They probably forgot to update the exotics for the boots then, since no one would ever want to use them. Sort of like how the VoG chests dropped old exotics for a while. lol
They would have to nerf his health by 3 to make it equivalent to a burn, though, which I doubt they will.
The encounter will probably end up being less punishing (survive longer), all the while taking more time to complete. I'm ok with this idea.

skolas should have done void damage or something.

I think you're missing my point. I have every exotic weapon (33 total) but have only ascended 8 (24%) because I find the 25 weapon parts requirement to be a bottleneck. I would like to ascend more but don't want to deplete my already low reserve.
Make sense?

I guess we'll see how much they'll tweak it. After farming Skolas for 7 kills the other day, I'm not sure I want to see him again for a while.
If Bungie puts me in charge of cosmetic microtransactions I can promise they will include (but not be limited to) the following:
-Skip run animation
-Twerk emotes
-Confetti projectiles
-Servitor hats
-Mini Hive tomb ship
-Carousel Horse sparrow
-Elemental class items (think Hunger Games, like a flaming cloak)
-NPC robot suit
-Weapon range with Rahool target dummies
Yes I agree that Invis is not so great in PvP although you can use it to trick players that rely too much on the radar having access to an OHK backstab 100% of the time seems unintended and OP. But sure good players could easily counter it without issue.

The solar version of the encounter is really easy so being inexperienced isn't that big a deal. I'm sure someone on GAF will help you out, but feel free to PM me if you don't find someone (I suppose a lot of people will be doing ToO).

Well I worked really late last night so I wouldn't have to work much today and now I'm basically done! Destiny time other than waiting for maintenance

Why do people keep saying this?
Burns add 300% damage. They would have to drop Skolas' health by 66% to even out the difference.
HINT: They are not going to drop Skolas health by 66%.
Doesn't sound too useful. Guess it's back to field scout or lightweight on my spear.
So I rolled two benevolences last night. A solar and a void. How are these rolls? Which is a keeper and which one should I roll the dice on?
Solar:
Shortgaze
Hidden Hand
Speed Reload/AP Rounds
Surplus
Void:
Shortgaze
Spray & Play

Thanks. I decided to try looking on my titan and no luck so far, appreciate the offer
I may take you up on it!Elemental burns boost damage by 3x. They're reducing his health but I really doubt they'll bring it down to a third of the original value. Despite having lower health, Skolas will very likely be more of a sponge now.
Or rather, he won't be a pushover you melt in 50 seconds the way he is now. Without the burns even at half health you'll be unable to kill him without having to deal with the fight's mechanics. I mean without Specialist, sniper staggering might not even be possible due to the lost impact of no-burn.
It'll be a far more interesting fight, that's for sure, but I'm pretty sure it'll be harder than Solar/Void Skolas. Significantly. Arc was bullshit and never should have happened though.

Crappy Xur week or not, I still spent 60+ coins and even more motes of light.
Universal Remote? Well, I did PoE yesterday with a guy who was leading in kills with that thing, so I thought I should give it a shot(gun).
Mask of the Third Man? I destroyed my previous one for a shard pretty early on, so I need this for my 'collection'.
3 Shards to finish some upgrades.
Emerald Coil!!!! I finally decided to upgrade my 31v-Sparrow so that I don't have to ride around in that ugly-ass free legendary one.
My only complaint is that I rolled three exotic chest pieces with TERRIBLE rolls... I wish I would have done that first so that I didn't waste my coins on the shards, but it doesn't really bug me too much, since I still have 12-14 exotics to find and/or upgrade.

I Can help. Add me. I still hv 2 35 runs tô do. Silvertonguebr
Universal Remote is buffed by the Specialist modifier (like the Vex Mythoclast and No Land Beyond), so it's a great choice for some PoE rounds

I want a cloak that is an actual void and sucks nearby enemies inside.
I'm up for PVP tonight. I prefer level advantages enabled. Need my Messenger at full power.
Not me? I see how it is.

I think they will try to make the fight a lot easier than it is now. And they also want players to have to manage the actual mechanics of the encounter. That's what it sounded like to me in the BWI.
I'm down. Leveling up my hunter at the moment.
Is that a black hole on your back or ... ?

I can't get faction rep because my Cosmic Joke cloak looks too cool.
Yep. While Skolas will likely be more of a bullet sponge now, I believe the fight will have better ad control. Right now, disabling mines is an almost impossible task for 1 person to do unless the person is invisible or pops a shield due to the sheer number of effing dregs, Captains and shanks.
So we may go through all of the fights' mechanics this time around, while having a better chance of survival.
Less adds and less majors from the wording.
Even if Skolas health doesn't go down 60%, he won't be as dangerous as a million level 35 adds constantly shooting you with nowhere to hide.
I live in UK...weather is shit today.Go for a run! Then lets play some trials in like 12 hours
I went for a walk around the seaside yesterday which was OK as the weather was warm and sunny but man since this morning I've been so stressed...I donno what to do with myself.
Bungie, it's really, really not funny anymore. Auto Rifles need a major buff soon, stop these tragedies.

You did the right thing. The Summoner is better. Also, fuck auto rifles.

I hate that you can only have one exotic equpped per weapon/armor. I know that will make your character over powered but damn now I got to decide if I want to keep the nothing manacles on or the Light Beyond Nemesis. I guess Light Beyond Nemesis will be better because it allows quicker revives.

First legendary primary I ever got. Was only keeping it around for nostalgia purposes. It did have glass half full which was kind of neat. But, needed those weapon parts, and since getting a Summoner, Wolfslayers Claw, Her Right Hand, and a Pest Control Matrix; it just didn't make sense to keep it.
If you're looking for a PvP sniper, I've been using this post of reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/CruciblePlaybook/comments/37fqub/snipers_reforging/
It looks like the Solar is closest, but you still need better tier 2 and 3 perks.
I don't want to mention how many Motes / weapon parts / glimmer I've spent trying for a perfect roll. Closest I got was yesterday with Shortgaze / Hidden Hand / Quickdraw / Grenader. That's the one I'm going with for now. Too many other guns to play with.

Also I wanna get a solid group together for ToO this week.
I've not made it to Mercury at all yet, best I got was 8-1 so I want to nail it tonight as I won't be online again for another ToO (or Gaming at all) for 3 weeks due to work schedule.
Anyone interested?

Aside from more planets, bigger Tower, weapon shaders, individual armor pieces shaders, bigger vault, increased glimmer cap, new sub classes, new classes, new races, The Douche as a boss so that we can kill him, Sparrow Race Wars, Space Beards, new customization options, new factions, new social spaces, new enemy types, The Douche as a boss so that we can kill him, faction wars, space combat, an actual story campaign, and less laggier Crucible/Iron Banner, what do you guys want Bungie to do for Destiny 2?
I think I have like 11 or 12 Silimar's Wrath from last weekend if you need one
All I wanted was a Felwinter or a Spear, Bungie
