I have 400+ hours on my first character in Skyrim. Sneak arching was so much fun, especially in some of the higher level bandit dungeons

I wish my PC was good enough to run it with mods. Vanilla Skyrim sucks balls.
You lie. I ran that piece of shit on my PS3 and plat'd it. Love that game, bugs and all.

Ooh timepiece in PvP sounds interesting. It's been gathering dust in my vault since they patched its ability to shoot through knight shields. Might have to pull t back out now

Same. PS3 version was so bad and glitchy, but platinum was get.

It can't quite keep up in pure 1v1 against skilled people using the usual suspects. However, it's great for clean-up and bullet hosing those who get flustered easily. It definitely holds its own and could play well assisting Thorn, TLW, and Messenger.
That POS froze every time I came in contact with water.
Want to ride around on your horse? Do so 1 frame per second!
Had to go to a previous patch to play without it freezing on me upon hitting water.
Yeah, I had the PS3 version. At least I have the Xbox version now to play around with.

What an apropos name.
Xbox version is great and runs great.
Exactly how I play elder scrolls. My wood elf archer sneaks around and disappears when aggro'd. Has great AOE and tons of agility to bounce around.
I got that last night too but I want to level up the oversoul edict first
I haven't done a single weekly since my return.
They really need to find some kind of coins sink.
I will go over 600 this week, and I don't see any reason to use them anytime soon...

Where are you guys getting these motes and coins from? I have like 5 of each; keep getting dicked by Xur and his engrams and reforging.
Alright, Fig, let me have it!

And here's the match where the team left once we got both heavies:

Convert coins to motes. Reroll weapons and buy Xur engrams? I think you can buy glimmer with motes from the speaker(? Or maybe it's shards... Can't remember)
Coins come from random Engrams, the weekly, and PoE drops a lot of coins too.
Motes come from leveling up, random Engrams, doing the Daily Crucible, doing the HoW daily story missions, and PoE drops a lot of motes too. And also doing the Eris NF bounty 3x each week. You can get 6 motes a day from the daily Crucible.
I also haven't bought Xur engrams since I got all the new exotics that I would use anyway.
35. Wait until next week do it. Lightswitch on Skolas is horrible. Most wipes are caused by a Dreg slapping you this week. Ugh.
Probably 35; the pattern is the hardest setting for each activity.
Yeah, lightswitch has gotta go, on Skolas. It's lame that it's not worth running every other week.
Overkill?
So nice. For control I've been partial to Aftermath instead. The number of kills I've gotten after the initial strike is crazy. That coupled with putting down a pulse grenade (a few times on their heavy) works great to not just kill but restrict their movement and funnel them up nicely if the rest of my team is paying attention.
Just watched the video and summed up my feelings pretty well. I've said this a few times, but my biggest problem with Destiny is not that it isn't a good game, it just isn't the game I thought I would be playing. Despite that I've had a lot of fun and have gotten my money's worth, but it often does feel manipulative as if rather than the dopamine drips being there to carry me through the game, the game is instead there to just barely connect the dopamine drips. To equate that to all of us that have been enjoying it to mindless crack addicted sheepbots is silly. I don't think the video was saying that at all, though some seem to take that message from it.
Funny enough, fatebringer might have been the last hit I needed. Right now I'm thinking of passing on TTK (though it looks great) and waiting until we see what Destiny 2 has in store since there will be some upgrade path at that point.
Switching gears, I agree and think making shotguns more effective in PvE (and a lot more fun) is what really upped their adoption. It completely changed my Titan play style to much more aggressive. Maybe FR could be buffed with shorter charge times or ridiculous spread (might need to reduce that green ammo even further in PvP). Weird side effect of the shotgun buff was I now use them so much more that my play through of the library of halo ce was much more fun as I have a new found appreciation of shotguns in general that has overlapped games.
Wow, did not mean to write that much, sorry (but no one will get to this point anyway)

Breaker = 4, Slayer = 5, Reaper = 6, Seventh Column = 7, so 4. Description for Seventh Column is pretty funny too: Defy probability by rapidly killing 7 enemies

Wasn't last week lightswitch also? What of next week is grounded?
thx thx thx!
Cya next week when I'm begging for 2 squaddies
No. There seem to be two Skolas modifier combinations in rotation. This weeks is horrible. The other one is like easy mode.
Last week wasn't lightswitch, though I don't recall what the modifiers were. Lightswitch was the week before, so it seems to be alternating weeks.

My first Skolas kill was with Lightswitch. The only issue we had was captains. We could call them out, drop em with a shotgun, and move on. I think it also helped that we were all Sunsinger Warlocks. But also...fuck lightswitch
Are you playing on Hard?

Do you not re-roll weapons often or something?

I have over 600 motes of light at this point. I rerolled a rocket launcher hoping for a good set of perks, but ran out of weapon parts after 20 or so, and gave up. Weapon parts are my throttle, rather than motes.
(I decided not to continue with extended re-rolls after that experience.)
He's not
I thought so!

Damn really nice match. That double kill with the t-rex arms lol

That's the crux for me as well.
I re-rolled my Her Benvolence and Low Grade Humility last night. On each I got 2/3 of the perks I was looking for and I was satisfied with that.
I imagine the best way to farm weapon parts is strikes right?
I don't reroll my weapons. Not in my competitive nature to have the best gun, especially for PvP.
It's not the gun you should worry about, it's the person using it. Kappa
I waited for death to claim me right there and then. It was two against 1. How neither were able to kill me I'll never understand. Especially that warlock.he survived longer than his buddy and was right next to me.

Yeah strikes will drop plenty of weapons, also getting to five wins in trials and then just buying the weapon over and over while dismantling it would give some. The only thing is it will cost you 500 glimmer a piece, so you would need to do some glimmer farming along side it.
Yeah I re-rolled a few RL's and a few Shotguns to perfection back when HoW came out. And I spend over 300 motes buying Xur engrams and I got all the new exotics that I wanted that way.
Now I don't re-roll weapons anymore. The only thing I'd think about re-rolling is a Pilgrim if I ever got one but I don't really run Dragon Strikes so I don't know when that will happen.
So in recent times I've just been accumulating motes and coins etc. Not doing anymore re-rolling. Don't feel the need.
I use Tomorrow's Answer as my go to PvP RL. And I have a perfect PvP roll Matador 64 that I use in serious PvP.
Otherwise I usually use exclusively Raid-PoE-ToO weapons in PvE. My usual PvE load out is Fang-VoC-Void Scholar as my primary. FB-Swordbreaker-PoE shotgun as my secondary. And Horn.
Change Matador to Felwinter, and change Void Scholar to Void Summoner and you've pretty well described me.
That ModBot is OP.

I'd like to think I don't care about Grimoire score...but I also have nothing else to really go for in this game so why not. I have almost all exotics (damn you Purifier Robes, Celestial Nighthawk, and Bones of Eao).
I need to play more Salvage, only 65 wins away from maxing that one. Then only thing left is Rumble, which I absolutely am not a fan of. At some point i'll suck it up and start playing it.
What website did you get that from?

Oooo! That's a good idea. I didn't even think of that. Thanks for the tip! Noomi so wise.
