It was from Shaxx's weekly bounty. I haven't seen any weapons drop yet

Does taken armor only drop from the raid or from anywhere?
Only from those new silver chests or whatever, I think.

I asked the question earlier, I want to say it only drops from the Sterling Chests..
Which brings me to the question-What armor drops from the updated PoE? Or just engrams?

Just finished our first HM King's Fall.
-can confirm that the raid difficulty is unchanged, Oryx was still 320.
-drop rates did seem higher than before
-Normal mode drops were mostly 319-320
-Hard mode drops were all within 6 light of the character they dropped for. Nobody got anything higher than 328, when they were 322. Someone got a 325 Fourth Horseman from the pistons chest.
-Challenge mode drops acted the same way (within 6 light), for artifacts and armor pieces. Weirdly the normal mode gear could drop at higher light than the Harrowed gear. I got a 326 normal chest and a 325 Harrowed chest.

Here's my theory about LL drops post-patch.
At 320, you can get max upto 326 light drops.
At 321, upto 327....and so on.
So always, a max light increase of 6.
So, if after the raid you are 324 like me, the next drop can be as high as 330.
To get 335, you need to be minimum 329 light.

I don' think any armor drops from the updated PoE. Just these weapons:
These Queens Faction weapons can be found in Prison of Elders:
"Final Duty" Pulse Rifle
"Her Revenge" Hand Cannon
"Her Memory" Auto Rifle"
"Lethe Noblesse" Scout Rifle
"Queens Choice" Sidearm
"Techeun Rage" Fusion Rifle
"Her Champion" Shotgun
"Her Fury" Sniper Rifle
"The Nightmare" Rocket Launcher
"Bane of the Taken" Machine Gun
I could be wrong though.

Remember how it was worded in the stream:
If you have
Helm - 320
Arms - 300
Chest - 300
Legs - 300
And your LL is 305. You could find yourself getting a 306-310 helmet because drops are based off your total light level, and not the light level of the individual items that are dropping.

Sigh. PvE players get the shaft with armor.
My disappointment shall be edified as such.

Me and Messiek can join you.
Yeah but he cumulative score bounty supposedly grants you a piece of armor up to 335 light
Kor of Memory

I mean, not really...
Not any more than PvP players I guess.
There is a new Sublime set
New Dead Orbit, FWC, New Monarchy set
2 New sets from Sterling treasure.
A New Trial set (note: It's the same armor with a different natural shader)
What do you mean by PvE players get the shaft?

I'll join, I hope I can remember how to Destiny
Destiny roster tells me I have no friends, feelsbadman
Alright. In about 15 or so. We should go coordinate classes. I could go whatever first.

If we do a 1:1 comparison, even reskinned trials armor is something(thus different shader variations), so it is a shaft for pve. Faction packages I discount because its not a drop at the end of an activity? Bounty turn in like trials armor.
You know Destiny has taken a wrong turn when people buy their way to new armor. Not all of us have the skill to earn it
all of my hate

Eris' sigh, though.

I have still been preferring Aggressive simply because it adds +20 to [vertical] Recoil Direction, so instead of the gun pulling hard up and to the right with each consecutive shot, Aggressive doesn't pull nearly as much.
The benefit that it can 2 shot potentially with a lucky bullet + a headshot on Hawkmoon is also powerful.
I need to test it out today though to see how the Aggressive stability nerf feels.

Is anyone else seeing a DECREASE in ammo bricks?
It's my third time through the challenge of the elders and I'm seeing next to no drops.

My 'observations'
- Lyudmila-D still sucks, low tier weapon alert. You're not going to be 'competitive' with a recoil pattern like that, even counterbalance couldn't save this thing.
- The Hawkmoon is NOT 'back'. It's definitely better and more accurate yes but it's still not what it used to be in Y1.
- I feared the Suros Regime would have the same properties as in Y1 but it doesn't. I need to play a little bit more with it to see if it has the chance to be part of the new meta or whatever.
- My good old friend the 1000 Yard Stare is still pretty darn good, great snipers won't have any difficulties hitting headshots like they used to I guess.
- lol at all these people using fusion rifles all of sudden.
- DO NOT BUY The Vacancy thinking it's as good as a Thesan FR4, it's not. The recoil pattern seems strange to me and its range is pretty lackluster imo.
