No argument there, but I'd rather do the safe strat with an inexperienced group than waste wiping time trying the faster strat.
I'm curious to see what different strategies people come up with for other parts of the raid. Definitely want to have an alternate way for final boss, the current strat is repetitive and boring.
You and stabie still good for tomorrow night?

no wonder he's good in crucible...lagging his way to the top of the scoreboard

But i am matchmade with brazilians so thats all skill
I wish i had saved the totem part. i have no fucking idea how we didnt all die on the left side. There was a knight attacking save for like 5 min and he was taking no damage, i was dead and couldnt be revived because who needs timers, there was no one on the plate, god knows what the other guys was doing. And we did it lol.
Personally, I like it.
With the two attention grabber start I felt like I was spending more time shooting the bubbles than I was shooting the boss.
Here's a kind of in-between strat that I thought of:
What if we only used one side of bubbles? That way people doing dps could use the ful 20 seconds of DPS,then would have the next 20 seconds to shoot down the next bubble, and they'll theoretically be able to do almost the same damage as the one person strat, but you won't have to clear acolytes in between!
Here's my idea (easier explanation): Clear adds-> Drop orb/person 1 grabs attention -> DPS-> person 2 grabs attention, dps'ers clear thralls/get in position/ shoot down next bubble -> person 1 grabs attention -> DPS again. Rinse and repeat.
In the end, the one person strat might be faster if you can kill the acolytes, grab attention, and shoot down the bubble in 20 seconds (not even sure they spawn that fast, but I've learned not to underestimate gaffers), but with this you don't have to have the dps'ers rushing to jump out of the pit for every rotation and don't have to worry about g-man's lazers or acolyte adepts.
Really, you could do all 6 bubbles like this, just have to have the grabbers switch side, or go for a rushed rotation. If you can do max DPS on all orbs, he should easily be down before you run out of bubbles!

Tl;Dr:
2 attention grabber strat, only use bubbles/do DPS every other attention grab. Use in between for adds and preparing for maximum damage.
What are your thoughts, DGaf?

You were both alive and dead for me. Your alive body was in two separate places at all times. You were shooting in four separate directions at once. Igor too OP.

I have the checkpoint for Oryx. My first time ever run earlier this week went south, and I haven't gotten back in yet. I'm a 299 titan with a 307 1000 YS so I think I can do enough DPS if you're still looking for somebody. Would love to get that first kill!

well it looks like i can still play well in Skirmish. Ace of Spades + Nightstalker gives me new ground to tread and so far I'm doing well with it. It's not as straight forward badassery as Gunslinger and it requires more thinking and setting up kills, but it feels a bit more rewarding. It's also funny to see Gunslingers pop their supers and insta kill me. Would be lying if it wasn't slightly annoying, but I've always been in the "damage resistance + charge to shoot" camp for that super.
6v6 is still a mess though. I feel handicapped running Handcannon and Nightstalker there because everyone's a Sunbreaker or Stormcaller running Pulse Rifles

One day i will teach all you grasshopers about the secrets that the vex uncovered about time and its neverending cycle. Not today though, not today.

My reputation (i have one?) has taken a hit, i blame you kadey.
You just get matchmade with brazilians, maybe brazilians are worse at pvp?

Hey game, I'd really appreciate any gauntlets above 290. And maybe throw in a heavy weapon above 290 too. Please and thank you.

This. Also boots. Can barely get any over 294-295 from engrams.
I got 7 310 Telesto's. Apparently I have yours
Hudson made a list. I always obey lists!
I have the checkpoint as well. My Warlock is kitted out for a quick kill.
Just message me on PSN when the group is ready. Dropping void bombs in the meantime.

You have mine too. Tired of getting Hereafters, I already have a 310 one game, I'm good.

Drizzay is MIA, anyone need oryx loot? One spot open.
When did they first announce Dark Below?
Given the quality of the game right now, I think they can let mini xpac (aka content patch) slip to Jan/Feb instead of dropping it in December like last year, but we should still hear about it in the next month or two.

I can get on now but let the people who need loot get in there.
It was really fun and the Atheon fight was hilarious.
BTW, I had meant to ask you this in party but did you do KF this week on all applicable characters already?
That's actually how I do it when I'm playing with my RL friends most of the time. I can't trust another one to be able to drop and grab by himself so its easier to simplify it. You're right in that it's a go-between and that strat, while theoretically lower dps, doesn't result in that much drop-off though there is some. Less movement and less risk.
Drizzay and SlenderBeans are actually the only other gazers who I've gotten to play the high dps strat with that didn't make me hit my enrage timer, all others bad friends =(.

^Np Hudson! I just like to make sure people get their loots. I know it can be hard for many people to find a good group.
I'm good, not sure if Stabie can make it. Assuming Colonel is still in then JohnofMars aka Epoyn can take his spot. If Stabie can make it then Colonel could drop, whatever works best.

I want to know who the nudnik at Bungie was that came up with that idea.
Sounds good!
Nope, only my Hunter. Running with my Titan tomorrow and hopefully have my Warlock raid ready by late tonight or Sunday evening at the latest (headed on a mini vacation tomorrow for the weekend)
Weirdness: I got no VoG drops on my Hunter. No chests, none of the checkpoint drops. Did I do VoG in my sleep earlier this week or something? Very, very weird.
I'm looking to run it tomorrow night as well Hawk. Depending on what time you are running it. Would be fun to actually run relevant content together lol.
