Cloudy memories of the way it used to be. SEARCH FOR CHAIN MAILLLLL! I can't see. Feeling so confused, but I know your drop rate is true! Please drop for meee. Quadrupling jumping so high up in the sky. I'm caught up in a dream. My hopes they fade away. Its my reality. And now I know the reason why. I've got to make a change. Grow luckier every day. I need chainmail here with me.

is either roll on the IB weapons from Salidan worth it?
Nothing extra, just normal drops

No, rep doesn't do anything. You still get XP and normal rewards from bounties.

Doctrine kills in 1 second and can out range pulse rifles, so yeah, it's broken as fuck.

yeah, guy with doctrine sees me first i'm dead
I think that's a bit of an exaggeration. I played a decent amount of IB and only was killed by a doctrine a handful of times. Maybe it's your perks?

Major GGs to Biggy and Igor for the very eventful Trials games. Restarted a card because Igor got DC'ed, then beat Kraftyy on our way to Mercury, then I finally got the Scarab Emblem after our very last match.
The lag is making this game borderline unplayable for me nowadays but when it's fun, it's still very very fun.
Id reallly love to stop using the second ship I ever got in this game....(un uncommon purple ship) I love they way that ship looks.... will never get it... :*(

Best Doctrine perks are Persistence, Braced Frame, and Counter-Balance.
It's about adjusting to it. Once you can anticipate and compensate for its kick, it's absurdly powerful. It takes a lot of time using to get there though.

Everyone will be complaining about Doctrine and Mida next.
Like Milkham said, person with nicely rolled Doctrine sees you, you're dead. The stagger is so bad and the TTK is so fast that you can almost never respond to it at medium-close range.
Get a controller with hair trigger first. Grasp is over rated.
It's pretty good at medium range if you have very high stability, but can't match a Nirven's at longer range.
I don't post as much here as I used to, but I gotta head some shit off my shoulders concerning Trials of Osiris, which -- ostensibly -- I like a lot. On paper, it's a really cool mode, and *sometimes* in practice it reflects that promise. Generally, however, when you get to the 6th or 7th match, everything -- and I mean *everything* -- goes to shit for myself and my teams.
I went flawless in Year 1 thanks to Rubenov and Wicked, and I didn't really appreciate the skill and communication that went into that. For Year 2, I kind of made a "pact" with myself that I wouldn't be carried in Year 2 -- I just wanted to be able to legitimately wear the emblem and not have second thoughts about whether or not it would be legitimate to sport it. So, that's my background there.
For Year 2 destiny in general I've gotten a *ton* better at PVP in crucible. Brought my KDR from like a .7 to 1.13, and my last week average has been a 1.2. Trials is a different story -- there I have a .96 kdr. I get that that's not a very good KDR, but I continue to feel like I'm getting better at communication, as is my team in general, and we've worked our way up from struggling on finishing the 3rd or 4th match, to rather consistently getting to the 7th match. We even beat one 7th match, making 8 the highest we've been. All of this is good.
The bad is that there's a hell of a lot of really terrible shit in Trials -- not just the weapon balances that will *always* be an issue, and not just red bars and yellow bars fucking up the landscape for fair competition, but the fact that my team is matched, on our 7th round, against people who have gone 27x flawless in year 2 is absolutely fucked. I mean, I'd love to stay positive and say "Oh well, I'll get better, and one day I too will be 28x flawless" but in reality, y'know, I just want matches that feel *tough*, but on the level. My level, specifically.
So, the matchmaking is complete ass grease. It's unfair, and unrealistic. On it's best days it's bearable, but on the worst days? It's disgustingly terrible. I can't be the only one who thinks that the Year 1 approach of just putting a bunch of teams in a blender and spitting out matches is a better approach than the tournament method they've employed here. It doesn't mesh with the other core (and very deeply problematic) issues of latency. If they were going for a 50% chance you'll win per match, they've completely missed the mark.
So, yeah, I guess I'm just super upset at this point and about to give up, but I really feel like the barrier here is too high to climb with everything considered. There's a ton of shit that could be better, and Bungie refuses to do a single one of those things. I guess I never did imagine I could get flawless in the first place, but I've played quite a bit in trials since Taken King came out, and while there's been progress, there's just this gigantic fucking barrier at the end of the line here flipping the middle finger.
Feels bad man.

I just wanted a decent primary so I can use my truth. Tired of using the multi tool. You got lucky with those perks on your Malok

I've played 1 IB match so can't comment there, but Doctrine has been very strong in Trials this week. Teams that coordinate an aggressive collapse inside the building can be deadly w Doctrine. It just needs tight quarters, close-mid range to dominate. Big open maps like Widow's Court wouldn't be as good, and maybe not as strong for 6v6 vs Trials.
IB seems to favor Mida whereas Trials is a lot of TLW and Doctrine. I've seen surprisingly few pulse rifles in Trials this week as well.
Edit: Doctrine TTK is 0.93 for crit shots and 1.20 sec for body shots, for the record.

Well that's as good as it'll get. After that it's just getting used to the gun.Exactly the one I have.

Oh man watching that match from krafty's stream is amazing haha. "These guys just do not peek holy shit" "this is ridiculous" "unbelievably fucking annoying to play against" and so much more muahahaha that was great. And apparently we got hate afterwards? He says "yeah we shouldn't be hating that team guys, spread love not hate" ¯_(ツ
_/¯.
He also says "these guys are trying so hard right now" and "they are playing seriously slow". Well that's because we watch your stream lol.
Krafty's a great guy though. That he was a bit salty was understandable because our style of play was indeed annoying but that was our only choice if we wanted to win lol.

Do you remember TLW double/tapping 111s, down sights, at range, for a .25s kill (literally faster than any machine gun)? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Or the Thorn double tap, which took .36s to pull off (DoT would take a little longer to get the job done but you were already a dead man walking).
The meaning of broken as duck had changed

No, because I barely used to touch crucible back then
You had the glorious Hawkmoon back in that time, that was my primary for pvp.
I you don't get one to drop between ranks 3 and 4, may as well forget about it.

I just got the old space bus to drop for the first time last match.
Ugly as it is, still looks better than the new (re-skinned FWC) IB ship.

Huh? Why?
Rowr.
Train still going strong. Lots of sweaty matches though. First couple of days were a breeze but these last two days.

Drops past rank 5 are rubbish.
I only have HH on mine, which I guess is the worst possible perk.
Now the MIDA is everywhere, that's for sure!
I've been using a lot TLW this weekend and the one downside is that it can't beat a doctrine if they get first shot. That said, I am just not a fan of the auto rifle class in general.

Y'all motherfuckers were like boogeymen, playing the shadows. At one point Krafty was like, "Oh shit, they're here!", and I cracked up laughing lol. He was way uncomfortable, good job.Oh man watching that match from krafty's stream is amazing haha.

Of course it highlights how good he is, since it took 3 highly skilled players to take him down.
Exactly the one I have.
I have the same roll as well. Maybe I should use it more. It is the god tier roll after all. Also, I'm salty about your chain mail cloak.
3 highly skilled? OK there bud more like 1.
