I think that's the roll it always comes with, but I might be wrong. I love it though. Might be my new favorite of that archetype.

Really? Why? Does it get really good loot drops at the end or something? I haven't ran the new version of it yet

Does the new expansion have a item that jumps you up in level like the last had?

You can farm her in the original 320 from the director and she can still drop up to 365.
Yes.

Are you saying that if you reclaim the gear after acquiring them a first time they'll give you different stat rolls when you infuse them up?

I wonder if Bungie messed up and had faction packages go up to 400 instead of 385 before HM came out. Cause they said 385 was the max until HM came out. Weird. Wonder if exotics are doing the same.

The HoW/RoI team is officially my favorite Bungie team.

If you go into the raid with 366+ Light Level what LL do items drop at?
igordennis

Uh, another one.
LOL, another one.
Three straight 386 items.
? The max has never been said to be 385. That was just the cap for some stuff like strike specific drops. Folks got to 386 day one RoI. Crucible especially doesnt seem to have a cap either.

Last call for Omni farm
Is everyone over 370 already

Looking for two partners to set up an extended Omnigul farm.
I'm a 558 Warlock looking to hit 365 on this toon, and then continue to get two more nearly full sets of 365 infusion fodder for my Hunter and Titan.
I'd like a Hunter with an extended Tether and another Warlock running Stormcaller.
Planning on entering the 350 SIVA Crisis heroic strike as a full team of three (arc burn), get to the pre-boss Omnigull fight in the "hill" room, have our Hunter tether where she spawns and shrieks initially (SILENCE HER SCREAMS), and then have us two Warlocks Stormtrance her to death. And the adds she surrounds herself with to extend the Hunter's tether duration. Clean up with high level Zhalo Supercells if she survives the two arc supers, suicide, rinse, and repeat. Arch shotties would probably work too.
High level Zhalos and/or Bolt-Caster arc exotic swords help. A high level Y3 Gjally on the Hunter could probably help too. But the idea is to not rely on heavies so that we don't have to blow synths or waste time on purple crate farming runs. Once we get the system down, it should be pretty easy to kill Omnigul once every two minutes or so, and get her incrementally increasing blue (non-engram) drops to steadily climb to 365.
Mics are nice, but not necessary. Being at or near 350 helps, though if we get this working, not being 350 is probably only a temporary setback. Come with minimal gear on-hand so you have room to pick up lots of trash. We don't want to break to head to the tower, since RNG'ing back into the strike from the playlist could take a while.
My PSN is Mejilan. Please feel free to look me up and enter my party chat. We can coordinate our session from there. Please don't reach out if you only have like half an hour or whatever to farm.
Pro-tip: Don't infuse the non-365 blues she drops. Just wear them to "artificially" boost your average light. Once she's consistently dropping 365 blues for you, that's when you can start infusing your preferred gear or vault the for alts.

Anyone on X1 looking to raid today? I'm at 359, so I feel pretty good about jumping into it.

So how am I supposed to faction grind exactly? 2 hours of heroic stirkes has turned out to be completely pointless. Couldn't even advance a single light level.

You can trade in 5 motes of light for 100 rep which is the fastest way for me at least IMO
I know its too late now. But I bought over 1000 heavy packs from Xur and used those to level up a faction.

Eh, to be honest this is exactly what I didn't want to be doing when I picked up Destiny again. I'm sure I can do the raid at 366. Spending hours grinding while little to no result is exactly how I ended up hating Destiny after TTK.
358 Stormcaller reporting for duty? I'd like to hit 365 and stick around long enough to get extra 365 gear for my two alts.

Still rocking the 350 artifact because RNG hates me. The next highest LL item up from the artifact I have is 361, so over 10 light higher. FeelsBadMan

Omnigul shows up and leaves right before her real boss fight. Kill her before she leaves mainly keeping her there with a hunter tether. She will drop items as if you finished the strike.
Then wipe
Then repeat
It's the equivalent of a strike clear in less than 2 minutes per run.
Did this fill up yet?

It makes sense. Given this is less content than TTK. And TTK was setting up for a year of no new content other than boring events and the small April update.
They always have some new and cheap way to halt progress. I never ranked up factions and such because the grind was awful. Now it's the main way to progress. How boring.
WTF? It just dropped and you've beaten it 4 times? How did you even know how to do it? Isn't it usually figured out over time?

What the hell is CoE that people keep talking about?
I know about Prison of Elder (PoE) and Court or Oryx (CoO)

Can you open the siva chest if you have a key and your on your 5th raid?

run sepiks perfected strike (320 light version) over and over and over, the boss will drop blues which will be upgrades. can also use 3 of coins. I did this for almost 2 days and I am 363 now

What frustrates me is the game actually has plenty of content these days but it's underutilised. As you level higher the game actually gets more restrictive as you can feel it grabbing you trying to hold you back. There's less to do that rewards progression as you level up, over 365 there's little that rewards you at all.

Challenge of the Elders

Any particular strikes that have gear in the skeleton chest that I should be going after or are you guys just using them on any strike?

Challenge of Elders, it was added in an update after TTK. It's 320 level version of PoE bosses which scores you as well.
Yes, if you haven't opened it yet in the same week on the same character. Think of it as mouldering shards, but you can choose which encounter gives you the bonus item. I like it. I like even more that you can also reroll raid armor. Good job Bungie!

I got an auto rifle from the final encounter key chest today on my Titan despite it being his third completion this week. Also got fragments for the third time.
Challenge of Elders is level 42 elders. It's not matchmade, you need a fireteam.

Gonna do a fresh raid soon, three spots open. Add me or send a message KeanBurke. Bringing a 373 warlock in.
IMO the problem right now is that earlier we thought raid was going to be the main route of progression past 365, it's no longer the case since they are no better than faction packages and you can only do once per character per week.
Kings fall was stingy with gear BUT it made sure that everything it dropped in NM was above 300 regardless of your LL. Which meant people could start the raid at 290 and approach 300 or above by the end of it since anytime they'd get something it would bump up their LL but one.
With wrath of machine the LL of drops is tied to your own LL meaning you can finish the entire raid and not even go up 1LL. And that is quite bullshit tbh.
