Datto is using Fatebringer for oracles? Jesus.

I wonder if that's gonna be a common thing going forward since most people have primaries with elemental damage now and maybe Bungie feel the nightfalls are too easy with burn

Why not? Takes em down pretty fast?
Normal first
Pretty sure you will get boots on your first run. They seem the most common (atleast for me anyways as I have gotten them 3 times and no other raid pieces).
Plus, hard mode is going to really test your patience. Something that may run thin if you plan on doing this with people off of LFG

Time to nerf the elemental weapons!
I did both Normal then Hard this week. Next week I think I'm going to do Hardmode only.
Someone explained to me that if you do it hard, you get double the loot (normal loot slots are included if you haven't cleared normal). However, the hard mode rewards (i.e. Fatebringer, etc.) are now included in these rolls. So you have better chances of getting the hard mode exclusive items. Additionally, this saves me two hours a week.

Go hard, if that one piece of equipment is a raid helmet, definitely go hard. Odds are you probably have raid weapons already, just make sure your Atheon's Epilady and VoC is maxed for maximum oracle killing power.
I don't think you get double loot for doing hard only, like you would for the weekly. You get one set for normal and one set for hard raid. You can look at Destiny app and it will show you in the chart as well.
I'm a raid virgin. Don't know anything about it. Haven't watched a single video. Didn't learn a damn thing.

There are better options.
I have heard what I posted many times from many sources.
http://destiny.wikia.com/wiki/Vault_of_Glass
"When completing the raid on Hard without having completed normal, at each drop point the player will receive a loot reward for both Normal and Hard. Chest #2 will give two rewards, one a Normal reward and the other Hard. Subsequent attempts on Normal mode will not drop any loot, nor will any chest contain a reward."

Guys, is Lord High Fixer a good hand cannon? Just got it from a drop.
oh, if so... i'm skipping normal. Sorry.. thanks!
if you didn't watch it, of course you won't learn it?
I watched the datto stream and didn't learn anything.
Totally depends on the perks that rolled.
In general, it's great. However, some perks are better than others.
I watched the datto stream and didn't learn anything.
lol oh that one, yeah me too lol
I had thought I heard of people getting the raid helmet twice on HM Atheon in one run, etc. that would go against this, wouldn't it? Or is that just bad luck since you have a chance at two Atheon drops regardless...
I watched the datto stream and didn't learn anything.
Bungie doesn't teach us anything in the game. I doubt they would teach people anything in the stream.
DeeJ was only to get loot and best loot he scored was Raid RPG [name escapes me now] to go with some ass, energy and chatterwhite. Didn't really pay attention to loots :b
Only bug that they really encountered was perma detain on Templar and Datto got it.
Sorry to hear that :/ If interested in VoG keep eye on Hawkians noobie raids and jump in them. If I had to choose between Datto and Hawkian as my "Destiny & VoG mentor" I would choose Hawkian eazy.
Promoting Hawkian since 2014!

Ah okay, thanks. I won't destroy it then, lvl it up and see if i like it.
Bad luck... For example, I am pretty sure you can get two chatter whites on normal if RNGesus hates you
Another way to look at it, is you have double the odds of getting the Mythoclast for example (but its probably going to be shards).
Oh, he got a Hezen

Just started destiny on x1.
Is it normal to have frequent disconnects?
Takes me about 4 to 5 tries to enter the tower. When I start missions sometimes I get disconnected easily.

Got my last achievement almost 2 weeks ago, so I guess I have become legend on Xbone.
Well done.
Getting disconnects is normal.
Welcome to Destiny and may RNGeesus be with you!
4-5 tries to enter the Tower is definitely NOT normal lol.
About to start a 3 Guardian raid run!
congrats, pizza dog!Got my last achievement almost 2 weeks ago, so I guess I have become legend on Xbone.

All that's left now is to add these weapons to my collection before DLC 1 drops: Hezen Vengeance, Praetorian Foil, Plan C, and Hard Light.

Oooh sorry! They are, performance bonus, field scout, skip rounds, and crowd control.
yeah THAT is not normal. Assuming your connection is strong/stable otherwise?
I'm down for a Normal. PSN is a_javierp, I'll get on as soon as we get 6.

I have often wondered this. So many anecdotal experiences people talk about (and your own) that make you go "What. The. FUCK????"
