I like the Firebolt for PVE. Fusion seems weak in PVE, and enemies always walk out of Solar. I'll only use Solar if I'm fighting stationary enemies.
But for PVP, Fusion is the way to go.

I dont't understand why a loss doesn't at least net you 5 rep
Can people who have done VoG Hard clear give some tips about Atheon's Phase 1 [get 2 Relics, defend middle]?
In group, I'm running with currently, we have found decently reliable way to get Relics, but defence of middle tends to collapse just as Relic holders would rush to help and it domino effects to defeat.
Is there some good spots in middle area from which nuke enemies without so high risk of getting sniped by Hobos? Taking Hobos out is almost out of question considering we also need firepower to keep last gate up until Relics are out.

I was just going to say Solar seems to have been doing good damage to me, but I remembered I have all the Ignite synergy bonuses on. Definitely makes sense that Fusion is the best for PvP. I think maybe I don't really understand what the Firebolt grenade does.
Seem to get instantaneous responses from destinylfg.net
No, it's not. People would jump off cliffs / kill themselves and teammates would revive them.

It basically just send a bolt of damage to anyone within the circle. Not that great for PVP. It never seems to kill. But Fusion is a insta-kill if it sticks.

Is Xur ever going to sell weapon exotic engrams? IT would be nice if he offered something other than just the armor ones.
I think you're on the right track, but quitting should be -5 rep. A legitimate loss doesn't need a penalty.

True. The supplicants are the real pain. I'm just saying as someone who's tried both sides, having a job that was literally "keep shooting these static hard to miss lights until they die while slowly walking forward" was a lot easier than trying to fend off the supplicants outside. It also helped that our relic holder was on top of shit and told us each time which way the middle platform was upon exiting the portals and gave us heads up when to jump to the back to be teleported.
I just want any amount for playing in the event. Make it worth something.
Yeah I have amazing stability and incredible ammo, I get like 150 rounds from an ammo pickup with a 100 round magazine with upgrades and i think it has the "gets more stable as you fire" and a high stability upgrade as well so after the first few rounds its pretty much locked in place.
I sure hope I pick up them raid boots sometime soon so I can store away even more ammo for the thing.

Should be on around 4 central. Got a 28 Hunter and would like a normal raid group if anybody will be on then. Psn is same as here.
Well they could've not awarded any points for reviving a suicide , or could've put a penalty of say 30 points that you would lose per suicide, and only award 20 points per revive.

Haha wow, I got the Mida Multi-Tool after a Vanguard StrikePraise RNGesus.
You can get exotic weapons for doing the Vanguard Strikes now? Didn't know that was possible.
It seemed like exotics never drop in regular strikes.

Haven't played Iron Banner yet - what's the issue with people leaving early? More specifically, why are they leaving early?

It's just a pulse AOE. I think it's pretty weak unless you have the "grenade damage ignites" perk on. I almost never do that though since it means giving up the double grenade perk.
No reputation with IB faction if your team loses => Your team starts to lose causing people to leave match and re-queue for new match => Repeat until end up with winning team so you can get rep.
I love killing supplicants and organizing the defense team. Have that down to a science pretty much.

I'm glad. Makes my job MUCH easier coming out lol!
This. It would certainly help alleviate the problem with leavers.
I find defending really easy. Supplicants should never kill you, really.
Armor is the generic stat that you always benefit from but actually have to get because it's tied to Light increases so you don't really have a choice.
I personally think Sunsingers trump Voidwalkers in terms of everything but Void damage.
Yeah, doing it my first time the defense team was kind of boring and easy. I was expecting Praetorians to pop out eventually or shielded Supplicants or something.

I agree, its three that spawn near the portal that can pop off and kill the portal team that sucks.
True. Looking forward to all the possibilities when I've unlocked everything.

Still havent had any luck finding a raid group
What weapon do you use for them? Sometimes they rush in really fast and totally blindside me when we leave middle.

Let me ask this:
Which activities right now have the best rates for high level drops like Legendaries and Exotics?
The Raid? The Nightfall?
Surely, those two must have better drop rates that Crucible or regular Strikes. Of course, they do take longer.

Truly, it's important for all 6 people to be playing with the same plan. Everyone has to pull their weight, especially in hard mode.
Yep - if everyone is on point and in positions supplicants shouldn't be going anywhere.
PS4 has online? Haha yeah, PSN has been pretty crappy these past few weeks.

I think that's the key. We had a lot of fails due to issues with the inside team coming out of the portals going wrong.
I use that too. Should I zoom in for max dmg or try hip method more? My Titan is all armor so I'm not as fast. Maybe I should go a lil bit more Agility.

God's had his chance.
Nightfall and Raid... obviously.
Got my thorn.. running nightfall with my now stable group for our tuesday exp bonus and nightfall/weekly lvl 28 coin and loot extravanganza ... my buddy (a titan) who is a consistent if not great player has very little in the way of super star aiming/critical hit/precision kill interest. Not a precise player in any way. Hates hand cannons. Literally says the words "I just don't get em..."
Nightfall.. of course... drops the fucking Hawkmoon in his lap.
I only had double his kills/precision kills/assists. No big deal. I didn't chase him around the end of the nightfall strike throwing knives at his face and shooting his crotch with a machine gun. I definitely didn't. *eye twitch intensifies*

Well maybe it was because I was 27 at the time and my weapons weren't great (I think I was using the Dead Orbit Auto Rifle because it was my only purple at the time), but I was constantly getting overwhelmed by the Supplicants since I couldn't take them down fast enough on my own. Next thing you know they're in my face blowing me up, or a new wave sneaks up behind the portal just in time for the away team to exit. I'm curious if it will be a lot easier now that I'm 28 and have some decent weapons.
