Ran into a team teabagging us in Trials this weekend, so Rubenov had to get some revenge.

Lmao Ruben working those quads

 

[PrivateWHudson]

Burn was 300% damage, he's getting a health buff, not a nerf.

That was my takeaway. If it was 270 and rockets did 3x damage, you only needed to do 90. Now you have to do 150. Specialist will be nice. Grounded can fuck off.

 

[A_Gorilla]

Horn span with burn was 3x damage increase.

HIs health would need to go from 27k to 9k to match a burn week.

I still had anywhere from 3 to 5 rockets left after a run.

Yeah, Horn spam is still gonna kick his ass.

 

[zewone]

But they are reducing the add spawn, which was the main difficulty.

I understand. My statement was more towards the Horn spam.

It will probably work since the adds killing you was more likely than Skolas.

 

[Mindlog]

That's a dumb fix. I don't like it.
Stacking the regen perks is a great way to add substance to the armor perk pool

Anyway with the impending patch. This is what I figured out.
Swarm Grenades weren't getting some mysterious boost on phantom kills.
Swarm Grenades were getting credit for killing each other.
So what happens when you throw the grenade in such a way that the swarmers are forced to co-exist?
This. Your super or a massive bump to your cooldown every time your grenade is ready. This will work just as well on any geometry cubby and will work OK in corners.

*You can throw the grenade into a corner without them immediately going off. If you switch to Bladedancer before it explodes then it will fill that super.

Bounties don't reward the player credit for swarmer self-kills. The mechanism exists to deal with this situation.

 

[GhaleonEB]

My daughter Nat is wanting to run the 32 PoE after the update goes out, she would need two. Anyone interested?

edit :NM! Doing ToO instead.

 

[Zoso Achilles]

27k health is definitely a typo. It must actually be 270k reduced to 150k.

Yeap... it is a typo.

Just rolled my Matador with aggressive ballistics, rangefinder, reinforced barrel and luck in the chamber. Keeper? How could I improve on these rolls?

Shot package and kneepads?

 

[MagnetoWasRight]

I jumped ship after the famous XB1 reveal, except now that Harmonix is likely giving us access to all our old Rock Band DLC, I'm probably buy an XB1 literally for 1 game.

Spoiler

I have probably $1200 invested in the Rock Band Series

I'm getting an Xbone just for Rock Band 4, and I have you beat, by a lot actually.

 

[Byron Bluth]

Yeap... it is a typo.

etho! Were you able to get those last wins last night for the helmet?

 

[noomi]

Conference is over, welcome back everyone.

Shot package or nothing.

 

[geordiemp]

so when is the update ?

 

[TearsOfBlood]

Shot package or nothing.

Looks like I'm going for Shot Package then!

Or when the servers are back up anyway.

 

[Hawkian]

it must be happening now

Shot Package is generally considered to be the best for PVP. It gives you that ridiculous Felwinter's 1-shot from across the room range. Sucks, because everything else is perfect.

Aggressive Ballistics + Shot Package + Range Perk are essential. Last perk doesn't matter as much, unless you really want to slide all over the place, which I'm not sure I can picture you doing.

This helped me a lot: https://www.reddit.com/r/CruciblePlaybook/comments/37auty/house_of_wolves_shotgun_reforge_megathread/

 

[ethomaz]

etho! Were you able to get those last wins last night for the helmet?

Yes... I got today 7-1 with fig and gun (both got 9-0 I just didn't have coins for the Mercy)... I will try to get 9 later

BTW I increased snipe skills some really cool head shots in sequence.

 

[Deku Tree]

it must be happening now

Is the patch live?

Yeah I'm not too big on sliding around, so don't care about the kneepads, but at least I'll try to get SP.

Thanks for the link!

 

[raindoc]

Is the patch live?

i sure hope so - got kicked out and can't connect to bungie servers.

Anyone up for Skolas once the servers are back up?

 

[El_Fenomeno]

Shot package and kneepads?

Hey, just wanted to let you know I'll log on after the Playstation conference is over. Just in case you're still interested in tackling trials.

 

[TheTylerDurden]

Damn you destiny. I need that helmet. Let me back in .

 

[ReignofSparrows]

When the Servers are back, my buddy and I might be interested in some Trials, since our third might be MIA today. Would be trying only for Mercury.

[noomi]

So will Sklolas changes be live today or at reset tomorrow?

 

[figadapaura]

gonna have to find out

 

[Mrgamer]

Its live guys

 

[ToVenusAndBack]

Aaaaaand we're back.

 

[Hyun Sai]

Many of the "action" games of the Microsoft conference were depressing to watch. Cinematic and scripted as fuck. Even for Gears, WTF ?

-----------------------------------------
Can't wait to test Skolas with the new modifiers.

 

[A_Gorilla]

Looking for two people with Gally's and Blackhammers to test the new Skolas modifiers.

Even if not live until next week, still need to kill him for my Cypher bounty.

[xplicitone]

After trials, I'm farming both weapon parts and glimmer. I will get my perfect her Benevolence roll

 

[Kor of Memory]

27k to 15k is a lot of health reduction. Horn spam for the win.

42 horns will still kill him, or bring him down really low, given that solar burn required around 34-35 rockets.

I still had anywhere from 3 to 5 rockets left after a run.

Yeah, Horn spam is still gonna kick his ass.

Yeah, but you aren't going to drop him before the mine phase any more.

 

[Deku Tree]

Aaaaaand we're back.

Any patch?

Watching Halo 5 felt odd. Like, 343 really wanted to show off their skyboxes, and good for them I guess, but that was an awfully long distance to walk without any actual combat.

Any patch?

1.2.0.3 - The one about Skolas

Perks

'Ashes to Assets’ and ‘Quintessence Transfer’ can now no longer be stacked (they now have cool-downs that can only be used every 10 seconds)

Prison of Elders

Fixed a bug where players cannot pick up a quest from Variks to continue the Elder Cipher chain

Adjusted difficulty of Level 35 Skolas Challenge Mode

Burn Skulls are now replaced by non-elemental skulls

Skolas' health reduced (from 27000 to 15000) to compensate for lack of burn skulls

Reinforcement spawns are now based on Skolas’ health instead of a timer

 

[Sane_Man]

I've tried re-rolling my Radegast's Fury over 60 times now and I still haven't rolled both tripod and early detonation. WTF! I'm so unlucky with re-rolling stuff. I almost wish it wasn't in the game...

 

[Hyun Sai]

Yeah, but you aren't going to drop him before the mine phase any more.

And that's good ! The whole staying together, passing each other the curse while dismantling mines, killing adds and damaging Skolas was a blast to play when the burn was Void.

 

[Deku Tree]

I got tripod and tracking after my fifth roll and decided to just stick with that...

I've burned 80 trying to get a perfect Ash Factory. Best I've had so far is perfect velocity and blast radius boosts + proximity detonation.... but no Tripod (speed reload instead). Need moar.

its such a crap shoot

i mean its better than not having the option to re roll but there's gotta be a better way than this

i can't stand getting shitty ass perks over and over again.. freaking triple tap, supers refill the magazine, blahhh

Rolled a perfect one w/ tripod, javelin and G&H. Solar though. Would've preferred another burn for PVE but it's not worth messing with.

I feel your pain. I have a ash factory that refuses to give me those perks. The matador inreforged in like the first few tries to what I wanted.
