Unlikely. His rotation this week has to be a primary if previous weeks trends are to be believed.
I have my fingers crossed for Hawkmoon/Midi multitool
I'd like to know too because warlocks can do the same.

I disagree ... sometimes I die on purpose in pvp just to punch someone in the back of the head, it's fun stuff. LOL

Level 16 on my second Warlock. Just...four....more...levels!
I thought the Hawkmoon and Monte Carlo weren't supposed to show up on vendors until PS4 exclusivity is up.

Increased Control. I made it across without using any of the vanishing platforms.
I actually find it's best to use your boost earlier in the jump, when you're higher, as it recharges by the time you get closer and you can get another boost in to slow down and/or reach the ledge if you haven't gone far enough.

3 out of 4 gaffers agree... Sounds like it's worth holding onto. Not a big PvP'r and usually not a shotgunner when I do but I'll work on levelling it-- always nice to have another good tool in the arsenal and, though I have Invective, I've been running Suros mostly so I can equip it with Suros. Thanks for the knowledge.

Has anyone here just tried to actually run the platforms? Is it actually challenging at all?
I was shown how to cheat that section the very first time, and that's all I've done since. Next time I go through, I'm going to try it legit. Chances are Bungie will fix it soon anyway.
Fatebringer is in the mix with top 3 hc. Can only be gotten from hard raid and has arc damage.
I had 5 shaders at the postmaster and got a second Cytherean Bloom from a tiger strike and it never showed up at the postmaster. Had I been able to delete from the postmaster, I wouldn't have had 5 sitting in there for this weird glitch to happen.
I actually wanted that second one for my titan too.

I find the jumping section really easy.
I'm sure everyone knows already but you can jump down onto the ledge from the first or second platform, then when you get to the parts where you can fall off (easy to see by the damage to the walking area) turn facing the wall and jump to the side. The momentum carries you forward too so you shouldn't fall.
Or as a lock with advanced control glide, jet pack Titan with increased control, or a blade dancer hunter just go straight across

Level 30 Gjallarhorn team probably.
8) thanks guys. apparently I got it two weeks ago but no one noticed because I haven't posted much at all in that time frame.
All back to normal now, muahahahah. Much Destiny will be had tonight. Much indeed.
Hehe, sorry for the awkward start. Big thanks to ColonelOCorn for hopping in and having a pretty darn awesome first run. Wasn't even the last one to make it past the disappearing platforms ;D
We did two major things differently strategy-wise lase night:
- Cheesed the Templar. While this was kind of fun and hilarious, I hope you guys don't mind if we do it our normal way some of the time in the future; I actually really like the fight as designed. For one thing, it certainly didn't save time- he hit his enrage timer after all. For another, I don't think it actually got us any extra loot, did it? Was doing that what allowed us to get the extra chest? And finally, from where I was standing, it really looked like the only grenades that actually did what we needed them to were the Sunsinger solar grenades, which means that Carbine technically soloed him XD
- Did both Gatekeeper portals at the same time. This was awesome and I'm really glad we stuck with it despite initial failures. It was also sort of a cool primer for when Atheon starts teleporting all of us randomly. I forgot to mention this, but we'll want to designate 3 relic holders and 3 non-holders- because there will always be a 100% chance that at least one relic holder gets teleported in.
I had to adjust my own strategy to take down the Gatekeeper as a twosome, which meant stowing Hawkmoon and busting out Gjallarhorn- which, since we rolled right into killing Atheon after without wiping, means I had the same setup for him too. I didn't realize until jumping into the center for our first damage phase... Full disclosure, I risked our one-and-done with him by shooting rockets from the bubble. I tried to stay as far forward and away from the rest of you as possible and luckily it went ok. But... it does so much fucking damage to him you guys omg. I can't go back. From now on, I'm gonna be an outside-the-bubble person and fire them Wolfpack rounds from safety, it's beyond worth it. We didn't even have Weapons of Light going...
aw, I sent you a party invite as I went down the list but it appeared you already had entered some raid or another
this build sounds terrifying. armamentarium is giving you extra ammo for gjallarhorn too. hold me
it's funny... for as much time as I spend thinking about this game... sometimes there are things that still don't occur to me. I feel dumb for not thinking about this before but I must be looking at bounties really differently than a lot of people. sometimes I go after bounty requirements specifically- namely anything that can be done in under a minute by waking the hive or the specific mission relpays- but most of the time, I fill up my bar with them and then just... sort of forget about them. As I play they eventually get completed and when a few have been completed I go and turn them in and get more. I'm just realizing that the idea of having a bounty stay incomplete on your bar until the next day is probably troubling to some people, but it's the case for me plenty of the time and I have no problem with it.
The "3 Public Events" bounty is a perfect example. I don't get it and then go hunting for three public events in a row for the next hour. It just means that whenever I complete my third public event subsequent to having taken it, I'll get rewarded for it, even if that's the next day or whenever it happens to be.

Same here--I was told to just jump the chasm and didn't try the platforms.
Can't be Hawkmoon. I'm hoping for universal remote or thunderlord
5 people go into 1 portal, everyone fires 1 rocket, 4 people leave right after firing, 1 person grabs relic, leaves and goes to mid. 4 people go into 2nd portal fire a rocket, 3 leave and help mid. last person left finishes off gatekeeper and grabs the 2nd relic, then everyone protects mid.
Post in this thread that you want to join one. Or monitor this thread for when people are posting that they are looking for people to join. There's usually multiple posts per page of people looking to do the raid or looking for people to join for the raid.

grim citizen works great in pvp , crucible gear.
lord high fixer is also sold by crucible vendor...
to answer an earlier question , my preferred loadout...
Grim Citizen / Monte Carlo - despite what most say, monte carlo is great with heavy rounds (stun locks all opponents), and monte carlo method.....i prefer it in close range.
Icebreaker - it's the no ammo thing.
zombie apocolypse - I used to use steel oracle but man those machine guns are just too cool ...

Best part about raid weapons is you don't have the restrictions exotics have
destinylfg.net is a good supplement to people posting in this thread.
Which ledge do you do this at?
I'll try this.
Huh, seems advanced. I need a video demonstration.
If not that, Ice Breaker works well.
Not keeping mine bit me in the ass. I ended up spending marks on one to do the thorn PVP bounty. I didn't have anything else to use them on, really, but still.
It probably won't ever be Hawkmoon until the ps4 exclusivity deal is up.
There's a list of all potential items Xur can sell that was apprently datamined, can't search for it while at work. Maybe someone can post it for you.

Person 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.
4, 5, 6 Control left sync plate
1, 2, 3 Go into left portal and get Gatekeeper health down to 10%
1, 2, 3 Leave Portal
1-6 All shift to right side
4, 5, 6, Control Right sync plate
1, 2, 3 Go into right portal and Kill Gate Keeper.
1 Grabs Relic from right Portal
1, 2, 3 Leave Right portal
1 Goes to mid
4, 5, 6 Shift back to left sync Plate
2, 3 Go into Left Portal, kill Gatekeeper.
2 Grabs Left Relic
2, 3 Leave right portal
1-6 All meet up in Middle
If done right, those last 6 steps should take no longer than 15 seconds.

GG, Staffy. I'm well happy with my Patience and Time. I just made a post yesterday saying that arc snipers are where it's at.
As for your Thunderlord:
Wait, it was delayed? Wasn't it only ever said to be "this week"...?
i.e.
I must have missed something

In response to the bolded part, preventing the Templar from teleporting is what everyone says gets you the extra chest... but the extra chest I've only heard contains Ascendant materials anyway. You can prevent the Templar from teleporting by standing in the location where he plans to teleport but this spawns Pretorians. If you cheese him with grenades he doesn't teleport so you get the extra chest.
Any grenade that does damage over time will cause the templar to move back. It doesn't have to be the SunBro's solar grenade. The other classes have grenades like that too I think. If several people are hitting his shield with such grenades then he will fall off before he hits his enrage timer.
I do it all the time. It is super easy.
I often joke that people that can't do it legit should buy a WiiU and Super Mario 3D World to work on their platforming skills.
The margin of error in that strategy is too high, in my opinion. It's valid for some teams, but I prefer attacking two portals at once or doing it via the classic way since I can hold center on my own.
Well, it was logical for it to be out by Tuesday and like you quoted it was supposed to be this week. We'll see though. I guess Friday it might come out.

I have Universal Remote and I tried using it once in PVE and was so disappointed by its shitty range. It was post shotgun nerf patch so maybe that's why. Way to go Bungie
got my very first Exotic drop last night after the Nightfall. Symboite helmet for Gunslinger Hunter. Unfortunately I use Blade Dancer, but at least it fit my character. Plus if I have to, I can get the chest/gauntlets from normal raid and level everything up to 30. Though I love my Raspberry chest.
My friend who was with my got the Mida Multi-Tool which I really wanted
Been playing 3-4 hours a night since launch. First Exotic drop. Really?
With all do respect and love to my fellow gaffer (not trying to be a smarty-pants):
I would have loved to see you guys play vanilla WoW with me back in the day. I never saw their equivalent of an exotic drop in probably over a year of playing

Dude, The Devil You Know is a BADASS weapon.... I got mine from a drop, so I think it has a little better perks than the vanguard one.

Re: The Raid Jumping Puzzle
I go to the far right ledge as you enter the room. From there I wait until a platform appears ahead and below me. I run and jump out but I don't aim for that platform. I aim ahead of it to a second platform that will appear once I'm in the air. I hit that platform and immediately jump off (the timing is such it's close to disappearing as I land) and get to the other side.
I honestly have much more trouble with the skinny ledge on the far side than I have getting across. Not sure what my problem is but I almost always goof up there.

Oooh. I see. Thanks for the info. Well extra ascendant stuff isn't horrible. I hope we can still do it legit sometimes, it's fun!
As for the grenades... Gunslinger incendiary deeeeefinitely didn't make him move. Voidwalker's and Striker's pulse ones most likely do work, but I don't think we had anyone in the party using either one, so it was kinda all on Carbine
It's a hand cannon with arc damage and you just used it in this week's nightfall, you should know pretty much exactly how good it is -_- LHF will be the better choice for PvP.
I am looking to get a hard raid group together for tonight at approximately 8:45pm or 9pm EST. (Unfortunately I can't do it before that...) I play as a level 29 Warlock... waiting for my RAID Boots to drop to get to level 30.
Would like to find players level 29 and 30 with upgraded legendary and exotic weapons. Experience with the Hard Raid is a plus. I have cleared all parts of the hard raid before.
Reply to this post, or send me a PM if you want to join. I will check this thread a few times throughout the day.

Why should everyone leave the portal? 5 and 6 could do it while 4 kills the gatekeeper and grabs the relic. We just did this and it worked out well.

Hawkmoon is not "by far" the best hand cannon. It's a good hand cannon but there are legendaries that are just as good. For starters it kicks like a motherfucker and also has that stupid attachment rail thing around the sights that prohibit your view enough to make it not as effective for quick headshots imo. It's a great hand cannon but i don't think it's as good as everyone thinks. I have devil you know and lord high fixer and they're both pretty bad ass

Weird, sunsinger DOT grenades worked great for us last night to push the Templar off.
I just wanted to shout out to all the great people I have met through here who have helped me with questions, raids and everything else. I haven't had a negative experience and have met some great people.
also thanks to hawkian for your awesome guides.
Stay classy destinygaf.
