I can't believe I just did the same scrubby shit I make fun of people for. I got blasted by a golden gun and IMMEDIATELY resurrected. As soon as I pressed the buttons I felt so fucking stupid and 1 second later I was dead. I am so ashamed.
This map has me playing unbelievably poor.
That's also what I get for playing stupid ass warlock. Last class I made and it'll be the first one I delete.

Send me a friend request. Be back in a minute or two.
That is why you don't play self rez. Use radiant skin and use your super aggressively. Nine out of ten times people do not expect that.

What are my chances of getting a raid group together for Vault of Glass of people who have never done it before? Me and my brother have got to 27/28 and would love to take a shot at it but not just be pulled through it by people who already know it in and out.
I know that's unlikely nowadays since mostly everyone has probably done it already, but I thought I would post on here anyway.

That's how I use it in regular crucible. Maybe I should try it in trials as well.
Or maybe I should just never play warlock again.
The latter sounds like the better choice. I do love firebolt grenades though, and that godly melee.
Solution: Play voidwalker.

I need to start doing this. Self rez doesn't catch anyone by surprise anymore.

Are you PS4? Odds are still not great for all newbie raid but way better than any other system. Definitely worth asking around. The other option is to have 1, max 2 experienced players who agree to keep quiet unless asked for advice haha. Hawkian does newbie raids on Thursdays and I'm sure he'd be open to something like that if all the newbies were on board.
I'd also be happy to play the "silent sherpa" role if there's enough newbies to fill out the roster. I strongly agree that playing raids blind or close to it is the most fun. Nothing like figuring it out instead of just being told what to do.

Yeah I think I'm going to do that in trials. Much less stressful since I won't be looked at to do proper resurrecting.
I'll stick to Sunsinger in regular crucible though.

The real self-res OPness comes when your orb is next to teammates' orbs and you can immediately revive them. It's a very hit-or-miss super, sometimes it saves rounds from certain doom and other times you have to sit on it too long then waste it when it's not good for anything.
Warlocks in ToO are weird to me, they're obviously powerful and I see a ton of people using them but I just hate their play style.
I'd be up for this if we can find a third. I don't imagine you have a cipher bounty and want to kill the boss 3x to get the 1000 points?

Yeah, until I get my light beyond nemesis leveled revives aren't happening. I'm not a fan of warlocks in general though for PvP either. Hunters are the only way to go.

This is the truth. Run this strategy and people still get scared shitless lol

I can join if you guys don't find a third. Will need 10 minutes though.
Sounds great. I'll start one up now and yourself and drizzay can join on me when you're ready!
I'm keen. Gonna run my Smash Titan.

Cool, I'm logging in now
The main problem with self res is that players see it coming. Sunsinger dead in one of the later rounds? Yeah focus on that orb. The real issue is that because the animation takes so long, by the time you can start moving you're already being Matadored to death. A clutch melee can save you but it's a little inconsistent.
I play a lot better with a Voidwalker. Voidfang and Axion or Nothing Manacles and Scatter <3

Tried Jumper on Patrol.
Everything was strange.
Can't get used to it this far into the game
Ok cool, what's your PSN?

Because default is default and it's the usual scheme in most games? I keep thinking about making the switch, but having the goddamn super on X is gonna piss me off so much at first. Plus I wish jump would've been on R1. Would've liked that a lot more.

Just LFG'd for a VoG on XB1 thinking it would be easier to find a group than 360. It was. Unfortunately, it was with the biggest douchebags I have met in Destiny to date. At one point, we orbited because the Relic holder wasn't able to destroy Oracles in the Templar fight, and we reloaded on Gorgon's Labyrinth. Dude runs and sets off a Gorgon because he "already has two Fatebringers".

5 motes in and I got aggressive ballistics, shot package, rifled barrel and kneepads.
GG lol
Would have liked reinforced over rifled barrel cause the reload on it is already slow but hey the Felwinter isn't exactly Sonic in that regard either.
Nice!
Reloading stat is kinda useless in PVP anyways: if you have to reload, that means you are already dead.
Mine dropped with aggressive ballistics, shot package, reinforced barrel and grenadier.
Couldn't find it in me to reroll it only for that last perk...

Do it bro. This is the secret to mastering the blink I feel. You can instantly turn while in the blink so you can always keep an eye on your opponent. No more feeling like a headless chicken after a blink.
Just play with it for a while, after a certain time you won't make the mistake again. Super on X is more reliable than L1-R1 I feel too. Only mistake I make now still is throwing a nade when wanting melee. Time will fix that.

Yeah I'll probably give it a shot after reset. I'm certainly not gonna try it while I'm still playing trials, lol. Hopefully I'll be used to it by Friday when trials rolls around again.

Your chances will be higher on tuesdays reset thats when most do it.
Jinjo

No don't do that indeed lol. It's why I switched now. Will be playing everything this week using Jumper and hopefully come friday my body
hand-brain coordination
One of my first experiences was like that, and put me off from doing it again. I eventually did it again and have had some great teammates since then.
Worth noting is that VoG LFG isnt as filled as it use to be, because most good people have moved on from it to other parts of Destiny. Half of the time now youre stuck with bad kids and/or douches.

The switch to Jumper is worth it. Just be prepared for some seriously scrubby moments during the learning curve. You will fall to your death, waste your super, melee at nothing by pressing the right stick too hard, etc.
I've been using it for a week after being on default controls since launch. Just start with easier PvE stuff, spam L1 to jump around the tower, low stress normal Crucible. And then dive into Trials and don't stress if you make a bad play here or there. It's already starting to feel pretty natural for after a week.
