I have a bounty that says "Kill 3 or more enemies with one super use 20 times", and I can't get any progress on it as a Sunsinger. Is it even possible? Or do I need to switch to Voidwalker to get it down. Not really sure what counts as killing with the super as sunbro.

So, i've got a total of 6 legendary engrams so far (41 hours of playtime), and except for one (which was an armor for a warlock and i have a titan ¬¬), the others gave me nothing.

And yesterday i got my fist legendary armor piece, from a blue engram.

The cryptarch is drunk.

Well your super doesn't kill so yeah you need to do it as Voidwalker.

Like others and me have said, don't rely on engrams to get your first legendary gear going. It will just be an exercise in frustration.

How did you come by that number? Cause I've been playing 9 now and not a single legendary.

you can make 100 vanguard marks each week. 100 vanguard marks buys you 1 65 mark legendary. that leaves you with 35 marks. next week comes around and the moment your marks reset you can get another 100 bringing you to 135. that buys you two 65 legendaries (or,in case you may have found gauntlets/legarmor/chest already, you could theoretically buy the helmet for 120). you now have leg armor, chest piece and gauntlets legendaries guaranteed. this does not even factor in crucible where you could get one 65 piece in one week 2.

Then on the weekend you can use your strange coins which you inevitably get to buy an exotic from Xur.

I've been stuck with this ridiculous looking blue/yellow shader for a week because 1) the vendor never stocks any new ones 2) I never find any

I just want something that looks normal!

Note that you should probably wait until Xur appears to buy the Vanguard/Crucible pieces unless you are going to hold out for a particular exotic armor slot. It may not be an item for your preferred class; if it is, you will want to buy that then buy the remaining slots with marks.

Switch back to voidwalker and play the temple of croda (sp?) mission on the moon. At the end just spam the wave of enemies that come out of the door then die and it starts you when they come out again. Keep doing that for around 30 mins using your super as soon as it's charged and you'll get your bounty easily.

Engrams/PVP/Weekly Strikes (up to 9 depending on the difficulty, I did this weeks 26 solo for 6 coins)/Chance reward from first public event gold each day.

What level were you when you soloed the level 26 strike?
 
Just finished the Nightfall.

Yeah, i know. I'm actually waiting for Xûr to reappear so i can buy something with the strange coins i have.
 
Is grinding rep putting anyone else off of leveling up an alt? My Warlock is 20 with an exotic chest, but I just can't get into her without the rep of my Titan.
 
Would you please be so kind to tell us this gaurenteed way of getting 3 legendaries and 1 exotic ??
7 days to get the 100 mark limit on pve and pvp each, then 1 day after the weekly reset to again get 100 marks each.

200 marks per type means 3x 65 from one vendor, and 1x 140 for a helmet from the other. exotic is from strange coins I think?

That one day after reset will need some serious playtime...

It's not guaranteed in 8 days. It depends if you have time to max rep/marks for vanguard/crucible and have time to farm motes/coins which still have an element of RNG.

However, if you do have time it is very likely if you focus your playtime as required.

it is guaranteed if you farm the rep and marks, yes. seeing how many people are content farming spots for endless hour for entirely random rewards that infuriate them i think gridnign for guaranteed rewards that definitely happen is....a bit better.

What level were you when you soloed the level 26 strike?

26 (fully maxed out Sunsinger Warlock so I had Radiance Fireborn to bring myself back if I died. Hardest bit is the room with the locked door. I cleared out the end part of the previous room (got rid of the Knight and Wizard) to give me some back tracking room for wave 3 (with the named wizard and 3 or 4 of his wizard buddies). Once you get the door open though it's a straight run to the boss just jumping over everything, running past the ogre etc. In boss room clear out as many adds as you can from just before the boss room then run to the left and hide behind the rock right at the back and it should stop other things spawning and provide cover to whittle down the boss. You will get one Tomb ship dropping some guys in though. When out of ammo don't run out for a pickup wait for like 30 seconds and you'll get given a bunch.

Just bought a Legendary chest piece (yesterday). Today a I got a legendary engram from crucible: legendary chest piece.

Heh. I won't complain. It's a rarer version of what I had so it's cool. But goddamn...

Both primary legendaries I've found are pulse rifles too.

Yep!

I kind of wish I could just buy the armour with my primary character to give to my secondaries. I wont be grinding rep for all three classes. Sod that! At least weapons pass over though which is something. I sort of hope to get lucky and get Exotic/ Legendary drops for another class rather than my own to be honest!

I just got a legendary rocket launcher from a legendary engram. That was nice. I didn't expect anything from it so was pleasantly surprised. I tend to use the machine gun but I guess I would have wanted a legendary launcher at some point so I'm happy.
 
Mhm. Bladedancer itself is somewhat OP, but I've had so many times where I absolutely should have killed one but they barely survive due to the shield. Without it they wouldn't be a problem.
yes very balanced compared to the titan defender who gets a shield that kills nothing but is killed by any other classes super.

I've gotten 3 Legendary Engram drops. The first was a rare, and the second two ended up being a Legendary helmet and Legendary gauntlets. Both were equippable. All obtained by PCP farming.
 
yeah the shield is what I have a problem with, too much

No one should have a shield doing their super other than Titan if they select the damage mitigation perk during FoH. Don't know how many times I've had a Warlock still have their super come out after I shotgun them point blank in the face during the jump part.

Keep that stuff in PvE

Thank's for the tip. I've just hit level 25 and have 100% upgraded my voidwalker but I'm only about 50% through my sunsinger build. I think I'll try it at an easier difficulty to begin with. That sound a little too much for my novice warlock.

Titan shield is amazing. The upgrade that hands out overshields is not only good for capping points, but can be used a recharge point when pushing forward.

Of course it isn't invincible. A super can trade with it. No super and the Titan inside has a huge advantage and can lock down an area.

Titans are fine.
 
Probably just means you can hold the trigger down and it keeps firing, but the fire rate isn't any better.

That is what full auto means lol. Hold trigger for auto fire.

My Strangers Rifle has full auto mode as well. I am having lots of fun with it even now. 230 overall damage. So not bad at all.
