Got a BTRD-345. That thing is cheat mode. Reforged a few times and got field choke, counterbalance, braced frame, rangefinder. It's a laser machine gun now. Maxed stability.


In my play session yesterday i decided to try jumper layout. Iron banner is not the ideal place to learn a new layout. It was a mess. After nova bombing a rock and nearly killing mylself i switched back to puppeteer. But my muscle memory was half puppeteer and half jumper. After many frustrating matches i got the hang of it and think it's really the superior layout. I'm just finding it awkward to bladedance.

If you want to be on the list and/or already on it please make sure you meet these requirements and tell me your preferred time slot (all times EST, Friday: 7pm/10pm, Saturday: 11am/2pm/7pm/10pm):

1. Level 34
2. Haven't done it before
3. Have a fully leveled Sunsinger, Defender, or Bladedancer
4. Have a legendary weapon at 365 for each slot

Recommended loadouts (all 365):
1. Fatebringer (Fang of Ir Yut is a decent replacement), Vision of Confluence, arc Shotgun (Found Verdict), Rocket Launcher
2. Helm of Saint 14 fully leveled
3. The Ram fully leveled
Click to expand...

Oh boy.

So, minus the 20 hours of me being at work, I've got a little over 30 hours to get from 33 to 34... which means I need Etheric Light. I have a VoC, but no arc shotgun (I have a Vestian Dynasty and Patience and Time, but the P&T isn't fully leveled yet) and a Pax Totalus Rocket Launcher. No Helm of Saint 14, no Ram, and no idea how to get RNGesus to help me out.

As much as I would love to finally get a group for Skolas, I'm not for wasting anyone's time. If I can't grind it out between now and Saturday and be prepared, I may have to forfeit my spot.

Any suggestions?

This is what my PC has:

- Aggressive Ballistics
- Shot Package
- Single Point Sling/High Caliber Rounds/Injection Mold
- Final Round

I'm using SPS since injection mold reduces range. Better to use this than go for a perfect roll on the matador with knee pads? Plus PC is already ascended as well.

If you want a perfect shotgun, then re roll matador for aggressive ballistics, rifled barrel/reinforced barrel, shot package, knee pads.

Focus on getting to 34 first, the right weapons at 331 can still do enough damage to contribute. If you are missing gear try and get it from PoE 32 or have someone get you to five wins in ToO Friday. You can do a PoE 34 at level 33 and/or just play Iron Banner until you get to Level 3 and can buy a Etheric Light. I'll schedule you with another friend of mine so we have two experienced guys to help you along, but you will need to be 34 in order to stay alive. What exactly are you missing to get you from 34?

Subscription renewed. See you in three months, social life.

Not sure whether to ask for people to play PoE32 right away or do PoE 28 with randoms first to warm up. I need either etheric light or another piece of gear with light 42.

When I compare my god roll Matador and Fellwinters they appear identical. But in practice the Fellwinters seems to be better and with longer range... Maybe a hidden perk I don't know about.

It finally happened! My greatest triumph in all of Destiny was achieved last night. May I present to you the first time I had the highest score in an GAF IB Train:

Can I be added to this list? PSN is voa127. I do fall short of one requirement though, I don't have any legendary shotgun at 365. I do have all exotic secondary weapons at 365 though.
Click to expand...

Plenty good, Fourth Horseman and Plan C will be more than enough to deal with the captains. What time slot are you interested in? I'm trying to avoid sitting around Saturday waiting for people on the list to show up.

This is my character. (A hunter.)

I need to get full light to hit 34.

I might don't make it.

Dat feel when your looking at your iron curtain bounties and can't find 10 kills without dieing and realize you just pulled it off on your first match of the day.

That's all perfectly fine. The arc fusion will definitely help, there are a lot of rounds with charging captains with arc shields so the faster fire rate of something like Found Verdict is ideal, but it's still a team effort so if you can take down a shield with that fusion rifle we'll be fine. Oh yeah, a Vestian Dynasty can also do work on the captains in the VIP round since it is specialist. So bring it with you just in case we find the fusion rifle isn't cutting it.



Got booted three times in the middle of the Skolas fight, wasn't able to connect for like 15 minutes, then got back on without a problem. Eventually knocked him out but one of my fireteam members got frustrated and had to peace out.

Thanks again, man. Apart from the disconnects it was actually very enjoyable.

Yeah Im wondering the same about my newly acquired matador.

I got:

- field choke (no agg bal)
- rangefinder
- reinforced barrel
- kneepads (super sweaty)

Wondering if I should re-roll. Please advise mlg-pros.

Have a party crasher ascended with agg bal., shot package, sling/inj mold, final round already.
Click to expand...

Keep this roll!

Rangefinder can OHKO from further range, Shotpackage just makes it easier from any range.

Don't use Field Choke of you have Reinforced Barrel, use Accurised if you have it. There is no need to roll Agressive on the Matador since its impact is high enough, and the range has a cap.

It looks like you are two pieces of armor short of level 34. Guantlets and Boots. You can run PoE 32 to get an Armor Core to buy the helmet this week if you have an exotic pair of gauntlets at light level 42. Then you'll still need an etheric light from PoE 34 or Iron Banner Rank 3 to get boots to light level 42. It looks like your weapons are at 331 attack as well, you'll be doing reduced damage against the level 35 enemies. Is your VoC 365? Do you have a 365 rocket launcher or shotgun?

Yeah we could have been done an hour earlier, I feel real bad for Deviant, so unfair. I love the Skolas fight, I think it's the best in the game, which is why I don't mind running it with people. The rounds leading up to it can be tedious and I get over aggressive since I just want to get them done faster.

I'm collecting requests from those that were on the list first and then going to sort it out. Those are some popular times so we'll see. If they get over booked I'll ask around DGAF for a new sherpa to help out.

Only options on first column are:

- smart drift control
- field choke
- soft ballistics

Sometimes I wish the game had built in auto team balancing.

Started a skirmish match, and one minute into it two people from the opposing team had left.... leaving the player by himself. No one joined, and the game painfully went into overtime :/

Its actually pretty easy (My first time was on hard mode lol)

The majority of deaths and mistakes come from messing up the hoop jumping that bungie has you do before you can do damage to the bosses lol

That said Templar fight is legit challenging and tense. Atheon was actually the easiest section once I knew what to do. Effing confusing at first but quite easy

And I just noticed I have 3 messages on PSN from gaffers wanting to skirmish. One is from Kurumi. Sorry folks, I have notifications off since they block the radar so I didn't notice the messages till now.

Field Choke is fine then. Only difference would be minimal stability, which is not necessary.

Aggress would give you 5% more damage, but it's not needed. Rerolling is effectively a waste.

Heh. I may as well drop out now and hope I can get in before September 15th for the Triumph.

I already have an Armor Core that I haven't spent yet from the first time I did PoE 32. No exotic gauntlets. VoC isn't 365; need EL for that as well. No 365 Shotgun OR Rocket Launcher.

So, I would need 4 (FOUR!) Etheric Lights. At BEST, I could get 2 before Saturday with IB and PoE 34.

This isn't happening. Darn my adult responsibilities!

I'm going to drop out. Don't have me wasting your time, dude. I'm not worth it.

Looks like I'm only playing Destiny until Fallout 4.

Thank god for the app, I couldn't stand not seeing my radar so I switched everything to my phone. It's helped big time.

Anyone doing IB?

I'm in EU, PSN is "Klyka"

Don't do much PvP, so don't expect me to be good, but I'd like to try and get to rank 3 in the next couple days :)
