How did you get 7 guys in there? ( or do you mean randoms?)
I cri evry tiem when a warlock is in the Court fighting the three wizards and isn't a stormcaller.
Seriously, bum rushing the bosses with Stormtrance is insanely satisfying. The DPS is ridiculous. 3 stormcaller warlocks doing Tier 3 is probably the most fun I had with randoms.

That last encounter does make the Hunters and Titans shine, Warlocks are just giving a second chance when they die with Sunsingers.
Fuck yeah. I know Vanish in Smoke is in bogue but I'm loving double Envenom grenades with Sealed Ahamkara/Monte Carlo. CREATURES OF THE DARKNESS WHILE YOU TRY MERELY TO FIND ME YOU WILL BURN AND DIE
Ok add me on psn blunoise1 will be ready soon
as a solo stormcaller I poop on every reciprocal rune boss except that jackass with the shield that only goes away when adds are dead. Because there's always one hiding somewhere and they come back fast. It seemed a pretty good way to get a lot of random blues but they were all low level so I stopped.
Also funny that I have an easier time solo against the ogre and knight twins than I ever did with a group. Mechanics are hard!
That was me. I cleared Fear's Embrace on my first try, it was easy.

I literally got to level 40, exotic gear and some blue gears bump to 240ish light level, and grind heroic strikes for 4-5 hours to reach 288ish light level. Started the raid as a 288ish light level and got the lucky drops to reach 291light level. It's possible just mind numbing grinding those strikes..

Hey! You can revive yourself remember. You're the one person that can help save a raid. While everyone else just dies.

I wish unlocking year 2 exotics would unlock the year 1 version as well. Would make collecting a tad easier.
That's my plan to, eris is 75% to lvl 5 then j can buy tier 2 runes and run it few hrs this week
Same.
Holy fuck I hate it when people shoot all the cursed thralls before the ogre even steps down from the altar.
Also, we need to spread the word to people that it's okay to bum rush the knight boss with the shield.
lol! My boots are holding me back right now too.
Boots are my lowest too.

Epically bullshit maybe
We got to that point and were so excited that we botched nuking properly and wiped. Much rage was had.Anyway, shoutout to Cosmos, Kilau, CamoKid42, Bogeypop and Tovarisc. The kill felt so good when it happened
I also just realize I called Camokid for Comakid the entire raid lol

Best is in pvp when people try to hide around the corner.

Anyone need undying mind strike for eris' quest? At the boss.
Just to make sure I'm on track.
I'm sitting at 289 right now.
I've just been doing quests and heroic strikes to grab engrams. I then make sure I'm at my highest level at all times to get the best ones.
Haven't done the court of oryx yet.
Anything else I should do to keep upgrading so I can try the raid?

Fireteam of 3 with randoms joining over time.
What you can do though as an alternative is if you see a random person, send them a message and ask them to invite your friends and then you can all be friends!
Tier 3 is nothing with a bunch of people. I think my group ran though 4-5 Tier 3 summons with ease.

Anyone doing some CoOs tonight??

Anyone else getting smart loot drops that are eerily close to "perfect" armor drops? My chest, boots, and gloves that I now use for infusion are all Intellect/Discipline, all favor pulse rifles and fusion rifles, and have solar based perks; all the gear and builds that I favor. Is it giving me these on purpose, or am I just reaaaaaly lucky?
You sir are ready to try the raid

I need to do Tier 2 for this last fragment but I am completely out of runes and Black Wax Idol's so I can't buy any more. Any suggestions on how I can get Tier 2 runes?
I feel that once you get to 290+, the smart loot becomes a huge troll.

First Raid yielded me the Scout Rifle, the Sniper Rifle, Gauntlets and an Exotic Quest.
I wanna go back.

Good to know. Took a nap after getting home from camping and now I'm ready to grind the night away to make up for the list time this weekend.

Keep in mind for the raid. Having a +295 sniper is a must imo. Will make your time easier for dpsing. It's essential for
Oyrx
This is really for everyone who hasn't done the raid.

It's in the grimoire under Book of Sorrow

The new Vex strike is worse with randoms.
Wait, really? Is that normal or just shitty RNG?
Don't see any Book of Sorrow stuff in the app.
It seems folks get 2-3 stuff. Really lucky folks get 4 drops.
Everyone gets a certain item, that if you have 20 of it, you'll get engrams or something when killing the final boss.
I already have 15 so I'm pretty content.

Wish you luck! I wouldn't recommend grinding strikes for that long by yourself. It's a lot better with people

Actually haven't had that much of a bad time with that quest. Fun boss too.

Well for regular strikes yeah it's not bad, but for Heroics? Ded.

It's under the enemies section.
Now that I finally beat Oryx and I finally have a static Raid group, I don't have to stress myself out trying to get in any group that will take me. Might start helping people who don't play as much and aren't as geared get Raid ready by running Heroic Strikes for fun now that there's an actual purpose to them.
Plus I want some of that Strike exclusive Legendary gear
After I take a break for the next day or two
