I have about the same issue except I have Hex Caster Arc (the Crucible version of Dr Nope) from a raid drop and Shadow Price from a Vanguard rank up. I find Shadow Price to be far more usable because of the stability but the high rate of fire/low impact weapons can be fun in certain situations. On this board Shadow Price seems to be pretty well regarded and I would give it the nod as well.

I think it was handgun and shotgun.
Did anyone ever confirm how they work? Does turning in bounties affect it? Not surprised that Bungie leaves it up to us to figure their game out.
Patience and Time has almost zero recoil and the rate is pretty fast. And when I mean no recoil I mean that the scope doesn't get bigger and smaller either. So it doesn't leap upwards much and doesn't pop towards you much either. I don't know another sniper that is this smooth in the game.
And the sound is awesome! There is a meaty sound to it.

Dr Nope shoots water and has high recoil and low stability, i don´t really like that gun, it has very low impact for something that is hard to handle, it shoots a lot, but it´s not worth it imho.
Shadow Price is really really good tho, i have one fully maxed with speed reload perks all around, the reload itself is maxed, last bullet kill speeds the reload, and empty mag speeds reload too, that shit feels like it never stops shooting, so awesome.

Praedyth´s Revenge is close imho, very similar feeling and low recoil, pretty fast firing too.
If I had hadn't wanted the Armamentarium so badly I would have sprung for P&T. I didn't have enough coins for it last week and was happy to see it back and sporting a high discipline roll (+135) It's my first piece of exotic armor and I am really looking forward to that second grenade.
P&T looks like a great gun, though.

I hate how the team doesn't split into groups after they capture one flag. They just go and look for kills -_-, at least capture two flags and protect them with a guy or two.
Yeah never an easy decision. Hopefully P&T drops for you someday. Double grenade will make you forget about in a couple of days.
Praedyth's Revenge is probably the closest comparable sniper in terms of low recoil
I don't think TF had much either but at least it was more comprehensible.
Yeah, Praedyth's is pretty top tier. Still bought PandT because why not lol.
If Praedyth and PT were the same elemental dmg I'd prob stick with Praedyth. PT being arc makes it worth having around for me.
Gonna take my hand cannon telemetry upgrade out later with TLW. What is the best way to use the telemetry upgrade? I was thinking (1) do a bunch of bounties then go to the tower and (2) start the telemetry upgrade then (3) hand in the bounties then (4) go to tiger strikes until the telemetry upgrade is over...
...Is there a better way for me to max the weapon XP buff?

I was in the process of upgrading the Suros when I got Atheon's Epilogue. I'm assuming Atheon is a lot better for the raid since it does void elemental, and the Suros is better for anything else in PvE? Anyone have experience with both and can provide some feedback?
I have 20+ shards but only a 1 or 2 energy so I've gotta be stingy with what I upgrade. https://www.dropbox.com/s/x5hhk1oyy9qb5k0/Screenshot 2014-10-31 09.28.41.png?dl=0

So Titans are being sunbreakered by Xur now? lol
Is the Hunter next in line?
Is the Hunter next in line?
Full up five pvp bounties.
Activate telemetry.
Cash in bounties.
Quickly fill five pve bounties (or as many a you can)
Cash in bounties.
Pass telemetry to alt.
Repeat.
That's what I would do. Seems like the best way to do it. And daily heroic I guess.
I don't know... lots of people say a fully upgraded suros is better even in the RAID than a fully upgraded AE... unless you want to free up your exotic slot... I don't have AE but I think they did a test and the SUROS takes down the oracles faster than AE...
I definitely use a bunch of them there. People have such dumb deaths at that part it drives me nuts.

Suros, if you use AE for raid than you dont have to worry that much about damage your teammates may have your back. Since you do a lot of PvE or PvP then suros.

Damn, I can't decide whether to buy Armamentarium or not. I have no Exotic armor at all (this would be my first piece, I'm lv 28 Titan), but I was kinda holding out for Helm of Inmost.
definitely and wouldn't have to worry about it taking up an exotic slot. PT will replace my epitaph though.

Any way to tell how much an armor stat will increase when upgraded?
This week's Armamentarium is 135 discipline. What how much will that stat increase when fully leveled? Trying to decide if I should reply my existing Armamentarium with 133 discipline, but still has 2 upgrades to go.

We really do need some different modes. I'd love to see a double team playlist and a playlist without supers, personally.

If you choose to run universal remote you are doing neither one. You're spending your exotic slot on the ability to run a primary shotgun. It affords you unique options, keeps you from relying on special ammo for shotgun ammo and you can literally run found verdict too if you want to go that crazy, though the other options are way better.
-_-
Because of its unique upgrade, while ADS it has better range than either of those. But you really have to build around it. Found Verdict/Invective are the more traditional, great shotguns, depending on if you want to spend your exotic slot or just use a legendary, and you can have a great traditional primary along with them. But Universal Remote allows you to have a shotgun without having your special ammo go to it, meaning you can run shotgun/sniper or shotgun/fusion. I'm imagining a very up-close-and-personal Defender build for the Crucible with it and Helm of Saint-14.
I'm gonna get it as well, for my future titan! Might as well spend those coins.
Thanks! Maybe I'll do some of that if there are some easy PvP bounties... I usually skip PvP and the PvP bounties too.
Yeah but the Daily Heroic XP bonus does not apply to weapons for some crazy unexplained reason.
Armamentarium seems like a HUGELY interesting piece of armor.
One more grenade + more special ammos + more heavy ammos = huge value here.
Would buy that in a heartbeat if I were playing titan...

so down! lvl 30 warlock here
not buying the DLC right?
Is there a summary of the video somewhere? Not sure I can watch a 35 minute video right now.

I have nearly every exotic for my titan by now, or at least had the chance to get most of them, but this is the one that I never take off my titan. Extra grenades and heavy ammo is just perfect.

Not blindly no. I'll wait for awhile after it's release to see what is actually added.
He mainly talks about stuff that seems like it was cut. Trading, gambling, story, destructible enemy drop ships, etc...
He backs some of it up with some decent reasoning, other points are stretches.
Makes me sad thinking what this game could have been.
I want to get this for mine, but I don't know if I can give up my Helm of Saint 14 for that. Raid armor already gives bonus heavy ammo, extra grenade is nice though.
That said, almost everything he talks about seems like it could easily be implemented by Bungie in a future patch/DLC. As much as RNG screws people, I really hope trading never gets implemented.

I use it when i roll striker, but i can´t have that one and my loved Saint-14 helm when i go with defender.
It is really awesome tho, that extra grenade does wonders, so does the extra heavy ammo perk.
or just keep on playing and don't give a shit. the marks will just stay at 200 until you buy something.
Had a weird involuntary math moment in bed, realized the amount of shards and spirit blooms on me when I logged off, so I popped back in for a second annnd ding level 29 with just one more upgrade to unlock for Gjallarhorn and it's maxed (already have the energy and blooms on hand). *shrug* Love it. Still somehow managing to have fun every single session.
Even though I don't need... well any of them, I kind of want all three of the armor pieces offered this week for my collection. Can't afford, I need to pick one. I'm leaning toward the Armamentarium even though my Titan is level 8.
