I'm having a complete brain fart.
What are the rules on the Weekly Nightfall, as far as loot and repeating it? A friend wants me to help him out and I already completed it yesterday. Is there no chance of getting good gear, or can it be repeated multiple times with the same loot table?

*shrug* respectfully disagree with this; I don't want them to either.
behind-the-scenes numerical changes to weaponry that can be used by any class, at any level past 20, that makes sense to me to split between the two modes. it would benefit both to do so, as some guns are just okay to be OP in PvE for the fun factor, but potentially gamebreaking in pvp.
but for someone who likes pve and pvp in this game about equally, I really don't want to have to consider that the entire way my class works can change upon entering or exiting the crucible. again, radiant skin is not at all a bad choice in either mode as it stands (I hope anyone using Apotheosis Veil understands they should be using it).
Song of Flame is the one that should apply to the entire fireteam, instead of being distance-confied.
aka never
There are no rewards for repeating the Nightfall.

I want the God of War shader as well!
No repeat loot on weekly nightfall or weekly strike once completed on highest difficulty.
All you get is a pat on the back.
Now THIS I agree with.
Best makeup for heroic raid is (1) Gunslinger Hunter, (2) Defender Titans with the Saint helm and (3) Void Locks.
Obviously, you're stuck in your ways regarding radiance and I'm beating a dead horse at this point. Self-revive is pointless if anyone else is dead. It's ok if you die first and the reset of your team is alive..but then I have to fall back to "git gud" because you shouldn't need it in the first place.
If still room, RedFury03 titan 27 maxed bubble.
It'll happen - they can't ignore us forever.
Yeah that's fine, please add me: Cosmic_Onion or can I have your PSN? It's over 2 hours now right?

Back in my day DestinyGAF would've been 1000 posts in OT8 already.

Ah, no rewards at all? No mats or anything?
Bummer but that's what I thought. Thanks!
Haha that has to be a bug. One more rocket sure...1 more lmg bullet lol

Best makeup for Hard VoG is: 6 players who play their class well and know the fights.
No class ability is absolutely necessary for any encounter.
this is the reason I regret not picking it up, even though I don't actually want it. i'm even a little salty. that's just too good.
well that's two seperate perks, I assume you've definitely unlocked both though. probably a reportable bug, it might be applying "increment by 1" which is entirely worthy for a rocket launcher, but, yeah.

I think people wanted Whine and Cheese. Not sure though.
Yeah, you didn't think I was advocating 6 'Locks, did you? No lol.
But, you just proved my point in a way with the bolded. If you stack your team with the 3 Locks and they can self-revive....then if shit goes sideways, you have a 50% chance on the makeup of a team with three Radiance Warlocks that they can come back. That automatically makes it not pointless since it's giving half your team an extra try. Add in the fact that we're assuming they're good and not incompetent? That's huge.
And if their super bar recharges again, that's even more revives.
Just last night we were doing Heroic Templar and we had a situation go sideways. Two of the warlocks revived and we kept going, finishing the phase. And as for shouldn't need it in the first place....again, even the best raiders are going to have weird deaths.
One can say get good, but it's a useless statement since for balance reasons you always have to assume people are already good....and then when looked at in that way, chances are those same warlocks won't die 2x.
***Not that this matters anyways as the raid is easy, with the primary difficulty coming from being level 29 versus level 30's....which kind of annoys me when I think about it***

I agree no class ability is absolutely necessary. I never said that.
I did say the best makeup though. There is a difference between necessity and optimization.

Very appropriate title, but a bit boring. It does have the added benefit of making it hard for people to whine about the title.

No reward. Only the random chance of getting an engram. I helped my friend with this week's and last week's. Oddly enough, a Legendary Engram dropped on both of my re-runs...weird.

I want that red Ghost.
Show me three Sunbros, defend all three confluxes, take down the gatekeepers or Atheon portals on heroic.
Not going to happen. Yes, if you have three Sunbros, you have three self-revives... that still doesn't mean jack if your other three party members are dead. Like I said before, on heroic, majority of the time, if any one person dies, it's a wipe.
In some things like running, I'm sure, but not in other things based on your replies

The reason it can be seen as trolling is you guys sound as if you're stating that ALL Sunbros are less skilled and rely on it as a crutch. As if there aren't any players that are skilled and avoid death as much as you do, using Radiance strategically instead of solely as a savior.
It's so so good
For the perks, that's really the only point of exotics over a good legendary is that they have many of the best perks and it's just a matter of seeing which one is tailored to your build and style of play. The chest I want will work really well with my Sunsinger.
Just to come off as a contrarion, self rez doesn't only help the Sunbro if he finishes off a section, unlocking a new checkpoint ;P I completely understand where you guys are coming from, having that ability certainly tempts sloppier play and is more than likely used as a crutch for most Sunbros, I just don't like the suggestion that it's the case for everyone.
I am genuinely curious though as to how Void is more useful for the Gatekeeper. The waves are non-stop, you can't spam that super or your void nade, having good Void weapons are far more useful IMO because of this. Being a Sunbro that can carry two nades that can drop shields on a Praetorian and allow for a self rez scenario while wielding a great Void secondary and heavy (or even primary if you have Aetheon AR) just feels more valuable to me. Let me know if I'm missing something here.
Unless those first people who die are Sunbros, which is the point.
Same. I got lucky yesterday on hard mode with my Warlock from the boss, but everything else I've been getting shit.
Seriously this game won't even give me a chance to get to lv 30 lol.
just add exclamation marks!

Do you even drop orbs? Sunbros shed them like crazy. We would watch each others back by making sure Radiance is always ready.

Still looking for normal raid with an experienced crew on PS4.
PSN same as GAF name

Eh, the classes lack so much depth to me that I really desire them to be as different as they can be in PvP. When I go from PvE to PvP, I don't even change a single skill. Even the stats like armor are almost completely inconsequential. I don't think Radiant Skin is very useful as it is. In most cases if you're going to die, you're probably going to die regardless of an armor boost. PvP wise, I don't like the super in general to be honest. I think Fireborn is just asking to get killed again right away, and you will probably just get one shot by a Titan super during Radiant Skin anyway, or any 2 people who are going to put you down when you make yourself look like such a huge target.
Also, Radiant Skin won't help the number 1 Warlock killer in my raid experience. That is of course, falling off the map (guilty of doing this 1 time). C:

But doesn't that help that the Sunbro dieing won't result in a wipe for everyone. Two Sunbros reduces your need to wipe due to a death by a third.
If you die first and burn your super on bringing yourself back to life, it's probably more beneficial to the group to wipe and you save a void bomb for some serious crowd control.
