Start with Strider then progress into a Ranger. Then go to Assassin for some perks and finally become a Magik Archer so that you can shred the dlc end game area. Bow and arrow in Dragon's Dogma is incredibly satisfying and is essential for nearly all bosses.
Top quality music, wish we could have that playlist.

Lmao I'm playing salvage and I'm using thorn. The whole other team pulled out thorn to try to challenge me. Ended up winning all 1 v 1 and most 1(me) vs 2(them).
I went flawless in Trials during the Thorn meta. I can snipe with Thorn. Stay down.
Share link so I can listen please

You think the DoT is your ally? You merely adopted the DoT. I was born in it. Molded in it.

A lot of pressure in that statement but I've been known to get pretty sweaty.

Also lol two guys joined the opposing team in Salvage after the mercy rule popped up. They got a loss seconds after entering the game.
Hey! So a little history first.
Three of my main gaming buddies purchased and played vanilla Destiny way back when it originally came out. Did everything basically except from the raid, as the group was too small. They got bored, and dropped Destiny. At this time, I was out of the country, and so I didn't join them at the time.
I got a PS4 in March, and picked up Destiny along with the season pass. Instantly loved it. Played through everything, including both Raids by using PUGs (shoutout to r/fireteams !).
Shortly before TTK dropped, I convinced my friends to pick up the game again, and I'm pleased to say with all the changes that were introduced since, they've enjoyed it a whole lot more.
But they've still never done the raids. Getting timing right for a group is hard, and they're hesitant to use PUGs.
I'd like to rectify this, and would like to guide them through the Vault of Glass as best I can. As a group of four. I think that it's doable, with good coordination and lots of overlevelled characters now.
But can anyone shoot me some tips to watch out for, or strategies I might need to employ with certain sections? I'd love to be able to help them out with this.
Many thanks!

I sherpad (SP?) my friends through VoG on Tuesday to get two of them NTTE. Luckily I had a friend who I used to raid with as it was a bit painful. First thing is making sure people will actually listen (my friends spent most time dicking around). Hardest part is going to be maze, jumping puzzle (unless you are good, then you can have them leave, you hit next checkpoint and they come back), and then Aetheon. If you split up and maybe be a runner that can help for Templar etc. Also try and be relic holder.
On Aetheon we ended up sending 4 people in the portals if neither my friend or myself were pulled in as others had problems either as relic holder or taking out the oracles. This allowed us to either be the holder or help clean up. Took a wipe or two before we got sorted out (same with gatekeeper part).
Gorgon maze, sorry good luck. I totally forgot the path and we lucked our way through. This was pulling teeth as my friends would not listen and instead try to kill all the gorgons.
I think if they listened to me things might have went smoother, but eh. All I know is, after running Kings Fall with Hawkian he is definitely the go to for newbie raid help. Also I can't ever see doing that raid with my friends...way too much jumping and coordination.
Sorry typing on the phone so probably missed a bunch.

Making a quick run to the store after work. I'll be on in 15 or so.
I haven't heard from the captain. He might be MIA.

For real. Its pathetic and hilarious when someone teabags you after their very first kill.

PS4. A gaffer was kind enough to give the code.
I have always wondered what the outtakes for that Gif would be.

Burn nades for days!
Don't know if it still is, but a few months back that group composition was a statistical outlier in Trials, with a win% significantly higher than other class combinations.
Nothing sweeter than a barbecue party.

Same I hate the over should off revive, hell any overshield at all is stupid annoying
It's half the battle. First half is gunplay, second half is playing the mental game. Gotta get into your opponents head to win too.

Running with people already.
I can't just rest. I'm in a vicious cycle where I want to make the most of my free time, but also want to go to bed. Then I end up getting 6 hours of sleep for 10 hours of work.
If you still need someone, I'm looking to do Trials, but mainly bounties. I'm not going to Mercury without serious help.
