I'm just missing solar and can do some runs if you want to alternate between the two psions.
Sure, just need one more person for a full Flayer Mantle Farming team!
Anything of intrest except the cloak?
Are you asking if there's anything else the Flayers can drop other than the Mantles? You could get a Treads Upon Stars Scout Rifle if you're interested in that.
That's great.
Also this week's nightfall is guardian friendly with those modifiers, we were consistantly clearing the NF at 8-10 mins per run, even 2-man only.
Also the drop rate is really high, some runs we had 2 mantles to drop on the same run (ofc, none for me
).EDIT: logging now, PSN bitsurugi
Let's farm!

what's new guardians?
any news on hard mode double drops, light level, etc?
tried to play dailies on mobile internet at my parent's house, so laggy
also my mom was watching my play and little while later i heard her humming the orbit theme
Yo Rufus! Glad you arrived safely. While we won't know for sure until running it, Bungie has said that normal and hard have separate loot tables and that running hard first will give you the rewards from both normal and hard. Sounds like no double hard drops and that running normal before hard won't cost you any loot chances.
The only caveat is that Bungie tweeted the following link in response to all the questions about HM drops. The link is supposed to describe how loot drops work for Raids in general (also NFalls, Weekly Heroics and PoE), but we know VoG and CE didn't actually function the way they're describing. HM VoG's table included all NM and HM drops then pulled two from that so you could get two Found Verdicts (NM), two Fate Bringers (HM) or one of each. CE had separate gear in the NM and HM tables and doing HM first would lock you out of the NM loot (secondary and heavy weapons).
So we'll see tomorrow! I ended up raiding NM on both alts yesterday just to help some friends out but I'm preserving my Titan just in case. Here's the link:

Do you have to do the whole strike? Or can you do the wipe trick at the end?
Can't wipe. I think I tried it once and it just completes the Strike like normal.
Turn it in before the quest gets available. I had 2 one was turned in the other sitting in my inventory, second did not prompt anything yet.
Could be pretty huge without the revives and if you have tlaloc running with a full super will be pretty powerful. I'd probably opt for that if I were running my warlock. I'm going to run my Nighthawk Gunslinger for those quick Yellow Bar kills, the orbs on Heavy kills, and the high DPS on Oryx staggering. May run Nightstalker for Golgoroth though.
You just know during the Totems the wizards and knights will be yellows. During sisters snipers will be yellows, etc. Yellows everywhere.
Why farm the NF instead of the easier director strike?

Cloaks are dropping more frequently in NF.
so now the list in my head is:
nerf AA on snipers
slightly buff handcannons
nerf OVERALL shotgun range
slightly nerf sunbreaker armor (give it the same as bladedancer)
slightly nerf the time duration for supers on sunbreaker/stormcaller
ever-so-slightly buff auto rifles (still not viable with the pulse meta)
sorry, I can't think of anything that will make fusion rifles/sidearms viable.

Nightfall seems to have a significantly higher drop rate of the strike specific gear.

SoMs + Doughnuts = Meh
Reported.
Did people actually compile statistical evidence of this?
I don't care about the Cloak, but I guess I will farm the Darkblade NF whenever it comes back for the Darkblade Helm if this is really true.
This is a good list, agree on all points.

The knight/wizards on Totems are going to cause a world of pain, I constantly run out of ammo on as is
There is literally no 'must have' weapons for PvE anymore. Just weapon types: ie. Sniper rifle, machine gun, etc. Sure I have black spindle, but I do more than enough damage on the bosses with my 308 1K stare that I don't notice the difference. NTTE is neat, but I don't really know when/why I would use it as my exotic.
Eh I die sometimes so was just having a bit o fun
Really? Maybe I should hang out here more
Been busy at work
To add to this, the only one that I would even slot in as preferable would be Malice vs Daughters/Oryx, but even then it's not essential or necessary.
Stormcaller definitely needs this. Can't believe how long that super goes and I feel once cast, the player can cross the entire map before it runs out.

Wait... how'd you find the iPhone Beta app!?

Sidearms are totally viable. Nerfing shotgun range will help with that too.
it's safe to say that ToM might be "must have" for HM.
we'll see though
Only if that invulnerability aura stays.
The developer is looking for more beta testers, just message him your email address on Reddit. He created a topic on Reddit yesterday or the day before. Sorry I don't have a link.
Very reasonable, but I would go as far as completely removing rangefinder on shotguns as well. Has no business being an available perk for that weapon type.

I jumped into a nf with macello and pewpew and the void cloak dropped for each of us
Nerf shotgun impact agains guardians so no shotgun is a OHK to the body.
Aim to the head, shoot twice, double tap. I think this would give fusion rifle/sidearms users a small chance to fight back.

anyone Who needs one for nightfall? Markus851218 on ps4 light 296
I did 3x NF and I didn't see the cloak drop for any of my team members.

Well not statistical evidence, but I ran dust palace from the director & heroic strikes playlist over 15 times and hadn't had a single cloak drop.
Yesterday from the nightfall, I had 3 drop in probably 6 or 7 runs.
OMG plz bring back the Darkblade NF soon Bungie!

Yep. It's odd that Shotguns have been OP for as long as they have. They had it right in Halo. Unless if you guys are a foot apart, it's two hit kill.
Only now it's something should be given attention since everyone can carry a shotgun.

I got back to back to back cloaks from 3 nightfalls.
