If I have an adept Messenger, is there any reason to grind for a Hopscotch Pilgrim?

If you like the Messenger and want a much better version of it, then definitely.

 

[Owensboro]

I can do crota PSN : TheTurboFD

Would love crota. Only done hard mode once before tho. 34 titan. Psn Nightzoor

Trying to start a Crota's End run! Did ya'll want to do Hard or Normal? I've only done Hard once and definitely got carried through the whole thing, but am totally up for trying! I've never run sword.

Whats so much better about the pilgrim though? I though stats were nearly the same, and it looks like people are re-rolling it to the same perks pretty much

No, the messenger's perks do not compare to hidden hand, feeding frenzy, small bore, etc. But the base stats are pretty much the same.

Pilgrim is much better perk wise. The only thing messenger has over pilgrim is the Arc damage.

I think this is the first week ever that I reached the maximum crucible marks. Since I bought the game at launch.

Which sucks because he does give me less of a motivation to play crucible matches since I'll earn less stuff.

'much better'

C'mon Phaethon that's a tad hyperbolic.

 

[Kal_El]

TLW is hands down the weapon with the highest learning curve.

Once you're a master you can be an unstoppable force.

This man speaks the truth. Just watch me!

To all Titans out there, watch this and learn why Defender was a bad choice for this moment right here. If that guy was a Striker, it would have been over.

Maybe there is someone experienced that can contribute with a hard mode kill? Last time for me i got carried by a pro lfg group.

I just recently got the game and this is my first time posting and trying this raid, but if you would have me I would appreciate it! I can't start until after 4:30 CST since I'm at work I have a 32 Hunter BTW.

I am now Level 24 on my Titan on Xbox. I think it's time to come back to PlayStation for the weekend

Is that you? Hah, shit man... that was awesome.

I love the part "watch this...." NOVABOMB "huehuehuehu"

lmao!

 

[Seibmoz]

Anyone have any luck with old vanguard drop from the tiger playlist? I've been running it all week with no luck.

 

[EL CUCO]

Lol! When in trouble, pop a bubble

 

[Deku Tree]

Anyone have any luck with old vanguard drop from the tiger playlist? I've been running it all week with no luck.

Very low chance to get legendaries. And most of them come from engrams. Gotta run a huge number of strikes to expect to get something specific.

 

[bitsurugi]

Soooo... map on ToO?

 

[BondFancy]

Still no BWU GAF?

 

[ExVicis]

Anyone up for Gorgon's? I'm there right now, send me an FR and join in?

 

[Namikaze1]

What's the map?!

*dead*

 

[bitsurugi]

Apparently it is Widow's Court again.

 

[deadduck]

Widows Court (yuk)

 

[Simonnnnn]

Widows Court? Giant overwhelming meh. You've other maps to choose from on Earth.

 

[Slammin_Hammon]

What, are we seriously only going to play the same couple maps?

 

[PewPewPewBow]

I didn't mind Widow's court last time. Still I'd like to see some new maps.

 

[EroticSushi]

Leave it to Bungie to not give us a new map.

 

[xplicitone]

Inferno Control > Regular Control. It's so fun.

Party Crash + 1 is life.

 

[noomi]

Nami, I wont be home till later in the evening. Most likely after 6PM or so...

 

[Phaethon0017]

C'mon Phaethon that's a tad hyperbolic.

C'mon LTWood. It's a laser beam with no recoil and max stability, and you can pick your perks for it. I haven't been killed by a Messenger in a firefight in so long.

 

[davidbloop]

I guess the easiest way would be to buy current vendor gear to level up a bit and then start doing the higher PoE to get armor cores to buy max light lvl armor from Variks / etheric light to get to 34. Also ascend your Exotic armor pieces for a level boost.

Prison of Elders level 32 is a good start.

Completing it gives you an armor core you can trade in for a Light 42 armor piece. (You need 4 pieces of Light 42 armor to reach level 34).

You can also ascend an exotic armor piece with an exotic shard (can buy one from Xur or break down a different exotic to get a shard). This will turn the exotic into a light 42 armor when maxed out.

All exotic armors after HoW drop as the light 42 version.

You can also get Ethertic Light from PoE 34 and 35 and a chance at EL in Nightfall. EL allows you to upgrade any legendary armor to light 42.

If you have the marks, buy vendor armor. That will get you level 32 gear without any extra grind. You can also run the Crota raid for 32 gear, but it requires a lot of xp and materials to level up to 32.

Best bet is to run through House of Wolves to get access to Prison of Elders. Get carried in a 32. That will get you a piece of 34 armor.

Get carried in a 34 PoE. That will get you an etheric light and you can ascend any legendary piece of armor to another 34.

Plus an Ascended Exotic, and you're 3/4 there. Another PoE 32 at the weekly reset and you'll hit 34.
edit: Er, actually, wait til the reset to use your Etheric Light as you don't know which armor piece is available in advance.

Trials of Osiris is another source of both 34 level gear and Etheric Light if you're into PvP.

Thanks guys appreciate the help Amazing how taking a break from a game makes you feel like a complete noob again.

No problem.

 

[TheAquaticApe]

I can do crota PSN : TheTurboFD


This should not be happening when I'm using the first handcannon available , especially against thorns and hawkmoons

The Turbo Train is too legit.

 

[EroticSushi]

I'm guessing there's only 5 maps in the Trials map rotation.

Nami, I wont be home till later in the evening. Most likely after 6PM or so...

noomi you got a third in mind already or can I join?

 

[xplicitone]

[xplicitone]

Anyone want to play Trials?

If you want to start out "for fun" to see if we can get my new Warlock a 5 win card

If it doesn't work out I can switch to my regulars.

 

[noomi]

Depends on if XO is around since we usually play together. Either way, if we have a spot I'll toss you an invite

[Kurumi]

It's Friday! ToO is back, Xur has the Purifier Robes, and gf is out of town so I have all weekend to play.

Now if I could just get my ass to mercury. I feel like the only DGAFer who hasn't been yet.

And I thought I was the only one who felt that way. Now I know I'm not alone!

 

[EL CUCO]

Apparently it is Widow's Court again.

 

[bitsurugi]

Unstable, where's the stream? :/

 

[ethomaz]

That poor guy needed better teammates.

Edit: I forgot his first two partners left midway through the game.

Looks like you too

 

[gutter_trash]

If I have an adept Messenger, is there any reason to grind for a Hopscotch Pilgrim?

Edit for top of page.

This poor titan thought he was safe in his bubble.

this is why I gave up playing as a Defender in Crucible.

Striker for life

 

[Biggy]

Unstable, where's the stream? :/

He is streaming.

 

[Slammin_Hammon]
