Hmm, should I keep a fast recharge or invisibility on blink?
Both are viable. I'd say that if you're going with Stalker for on-demand invis, faster recharge gives you a lot of flexibility with Blink Strike to have it up almost whenever you need it. However, in tougher/above-your-level PvE content, sustained melee is NOT an option, so I'd swap back to the invis.
Invisibility is useless in pvp, but its great during pve for reviving teammates. You'll probably need to use increased duration.
Ludicrous. Invisibility drops you off radar in PvP. PvP is massively about radar and positioning. It's huge.
Yes, I might also put the invisibility on my arc blade special. Though, it eats up a lot of precious seconds.
Vanish is the one thing I can't recommend. Showstopper is too good an R2.
 
This void kill bounty is murdering my kdr. Thought I'd use a fusion rifle but I'm dreadful worth this damn thing. I thought it was supposed to one shot?

just got 2 legendary items from legendary engrams doing a lvl 22 strike.

Problem is gave me body armour for a Titan, but I am playing as a Hunter ?

Why ?

You have to hit with 4 or so parts of the burst to kill, the damage also seems to vary at range in PvP, at least it seems like it.
 
I personally haven't noticed explosive rounds doing anything other than looking cool...is the splash actually effective? Usually it seems like the other choice for certain weapons is better than the explosive round option, unless you really like the look of shooting explosive rounds (who doesn't?)

I've been able to run strikes on my Vita without much issue. I won't touch heroic strikes, but for farming the playlist for marks, it's fantastic. When I was 23, I was running the 20, and now that I'm 24, I'll run the 22. I prefer to play it a LITTLE safe since I'm gimping myself a little on Vita. Also really really easy to farm bounties.

Explosive rounds pretty much double my DPS on my hand cannon.

If I had any photoshop skills I would've photoshopped a Warlock/TItan/Hunter helmet on some stock picture of a stereotypical farmer such a long time ago already. Just putting the idea out there.

And make it the new OT banner.

Got bored this morning:

Does showstopper instakill? Or close to it? Never actually used it in PVP.
 
This game hates me. My three other friends who are roughly the same time played as me (25-35hrs) are all complaining about the number of blues they are getting from legendary engrams.

"Woe is me, for I have gotten 7 purples and they have only decrypted to 1 exotic and 2 purples! Woe! And my exotic bounty quest is sooo hard. Woe! "

I haven't even seen a purple drop. I get excited over purple ammo. I've farmed the cave, done pvp, ran strikes over and over.... And nothing.... I'm beginning to think the RNG is based off your PS4 and I got a bad roll. Someone please tell me I am not alone.

You are not alone.. I've been on a routine these past few days.. farm for couple of hours while doing patrols, and then strikes for another couple of hours to build up vanguard rep.. I'm just about to give up on the idea of getting a random and just collect shit and use that to buy armor from vendors. I got the worst luck. Greens are fairly common for me but blue drops like once in 10 greens, never seen purple drop. This game is racist lol.
 
There's no matchmaking for weekly heroic strikes.
It's really absurd that there's no matchmaking for it. I'd much rather run the risk of players bailing out than have to decide whether or not to self-flagellate and go in solo (I'm still PS3, chances are slim that I'd find people to play with that are ready to go when I am). I really hope Bungie changes their mind and have matchmaking for everything but Strikes.

Strikes should have the option to be open or closed. I have no idea what they were thinking.

If your rocket launcher doesnt have proximity based explosions then you don't have a rocket launcher. Forget hitting a wall for splash. Shoot it over a group camping a control spot and blast them to pieces.

So anything worth doing for Factions? I literally didn't know they existed until I was reading this thread. I don't understand their role in this game.

Each faction has different gear to buy from them. Pick one you like and earn enough reputation and marks for those items. That's pretty much it.
