Luck in the chamber

edit: any xbones doing the exotic sword quest today? i have a solar and arc sword waiting at gunsmith... anxious to get my hands on them.
If we have a 3rd we can even go now if you'd like.
I misspoke. bottom of second column is reinforced barrell. my description of the perk was correct though.
This one dropped for me. Vendor rolls Rangefinder->Speed Reload->Feathermag->Reinforced Barrell-> Third Eye. Not ideal.
Hard to compare to other classes of weapons. But for the high-ROF autos i'd give it 8.
In broad strokes I totally agree with you. I want the full collection of Exotic Swords more than anything else, the addition of swords has been so enormously fun for me I'm willing to anything for them, and that includes tedium I'd otherwise avoid (generally speaking I never do anything in a game unless it's actually fun for me- even if takes me much longer to accomplish a goal). In this case, the reward is so good... and there ISN'T a longer-term-but-more-fun way to pull it of... that I'm doing it anyway.
I think I could summarize my complaint with the step in particular by just stating that I would prefer it take twice as long as it will end up taking me whenever I get it done, were I just able to make concrete progress at an x per minute rate.
It's the difference between knowing you'll have to do something a bunch of times and not knowing how many times you'll have to do something. One of the main factors that kept me from getting as deep into the Monster Hunter franchise as I otherwise would've (still love it, but I dropped it after my third or fourth RNG roadblock).
speaking of the exotic swords...
The arc is amazing, especially the combo potential.
You go in from the air, R1 > R2 for big damage, land, immediately string into R1 > R1 > R1 > R2/Distructo Disk. The damage is MASSIVE. The follow up from R1 to R2 is so smooth, it's as if they wanted you to be able to do sick combos.
Feels like I'm playing DMC. Fucking love the implementation of swords.

This dropped for me the other day. A fine little HC. Its a Hawkmoon-lite!
nice grab, i enjoyed using mine in the crucible
I think Silent Storm wanted it, but I'm not sure if they're online. I'll be ready in 15 minutes or so. I'm preparing to lob my bf off the PS4 soon. Soon.
curse you bradach. curse youuuu
Yes. Spindle is also a good choice for the roaming-ogre-murderer at Oryx. ToM absolutely eviscerates the Daughters and Oryx's weakpoint though, I look forward to getting mine.

And if you have the Raze-Lighter you could just R2
Even the R1-R1-R1-Jump-R1-R2 combo on a Legendary sword feels ripped from an action game. It's magnificent.

Edit: thanks for Spindle/Malice info, folks.
What's interesting about Monster Hunter is that yes, there's RNG on drops, and things can be quite rare, it's that it offsets that by giving you control over your drops. I wanted Hawkmoon all of last year, but I couldn't control where I got it from. Just do stuff and hope it drops. Now I want armor with Pulse Rifle perks, but that comes from anywhere. The only solution is to get a ton of drops and hope it appears.
Monster Hunter offsets RNG by telling you specifically what to kill to get what you want. Want gear with these skills and these resists? Kill Brachy. Etc. Destiny's approach is good too, but to put in MonHun terms: It's saying you get that awesome exotic not from killing monsters, but from mining nodes. Which isn't why I play either Monster Hunter or Destiny. And why I gave up MonHun when it came to charm hunting.

IMHO... 5
If you like Scout Rifles or Pulse Rifles... The Dealbreaker or An Answering Chord are your two best option for legendaries to infuse to max.
God, not this weapon bounty again?

This is the double edge sword with these, "Bungie flips a switch" mysteries/quest lines. There is absolutely no point in trying to explore these paths when seemingly all we have to do is wait another week for another switch to flip. Any time I butt up against something mysterious, my reaction will be...wait it out. Because as with Oryx's BBall court, you can waste a ton of time for dead ends. Or with the Praedyth ghosts, rush to hit a dead end. It isn't fun knowing that every mysterious discovery that hits a dead end could just be an artificial barrier intentionally withed by Bungie and not some thing the community needs to unravel.
If they want to continuously release little bits of content and gear through these time gated quests, I'm all for it. But the "secret' stuff sloppily littered all over the game that is pointless until Bungie tells you it is valid, is really lame and defeats the purpose of having secrets to uncover.

What is Eirene RR4 and why I should be afraid of it in Crucible?

So many things getting in the way of this mars warsat. See one on event tracker in 1 min, go there, taken corrupting area, nothing spawns. Next one comes and the opposing forces go to war, nothing spawns.
a gunsmith omolon sniper you could order last week that has luck in the chamber, apparently when it procs its a one hit kill in the body in regular pvp
Hunters with swords is literally DMC with two jump cancels you can do at will. I love it.
I'm going to experiment with blinking swords. If all goes well, I'll be able to replicate Vergil in Destiny. You can almost do it when fighting the shield bros. When that one with the gun jumps up and you slash at him at the right time, you'll literally teleport to him mid sword combo and it's glorious

Wasn't the spindle found through the community finding things on their own? And we have no idea what else we haven't found yet.
This Arc exotic sword
The arc sword while dodging around with Shade-Step is the most fun build I've ever played in Destiny.
I want to unlock shadestep so I can basically play Dark Souls in Destiny tbqh.
If only it had invincibility frames. Would be OP.

This was my world for 2 hours today. It never happened. Fingers crossed it happens tonight.

Get over it. It's not superior to the other swords. That's all I said.

Whoa, whoa, whoa... it's a one hit body shot with the LiTC bullet hits?! God i can't wait to unwrap mine lol
|OT 34| We Can Dance If We Want To... for a price
Oh wow. Simultaneously one of the funniest and silliest things I have ever seen in Destiny. Still, mad props to those folks for the sheer entertainment value and creativity on display.
I want nothing more than iframes for the shadestep.
Don't need i-frames

dude summoned his inner zoba and turned into justgotwicked in this vid
if it got like Dark Souls 2, we'd probably be able to shadestep to avoid wiping to crota's oversoul lol

This week the Speaker is selling the Dead Zone Revolution and Cosmic Joke cloaks. He already sold Cosmic Joke last week.
Sorry Hawkian, still no Y2 Cloud Walker Tribute. Maybe next week?
