Wanted to add that I've been using the hung jury as my scout rifle but just got the Mida multi tool and absolutely love it. Also have the suros regime and zhalo supercell. Think my next solo work is going to be to raise my gunsmith level to get a weapon from him. I'd like to get the Doom of Chelchis also but so far, no dice. Only killed Oryx once so far so it should drop in the future with more kills.

A good weapons setup for King's fall, both normal and hard are:

Primary: Hung Jury or ToM
Special: Black Spindle or other sniper (1KYS)
Heavy: Terminus (Raid HMG).

For Warpriest/Golgy, use HJ for mobs, and BS for boss
For Daughters, use ToM, melts them fast
For Oryx, if you are on ogre duty, use ToM, otherwise HJ

Bust out HMG when you need a bump in dps on adds/mobs or on orxy shade.

I wish there was a way to quickly change out weapons, like a macro or something. If I want to change out a weapon, by the time I get to the weapon selection screen, pick my weapon, go back out, a full 3-5 seconds can transpire which can mean the difference in a wipe or not. Needs to be a quickchange button or combination that swaps out weapon sets.

I agree, swapping gear can be a pain. One tip I read online, that I haven't been able to really tell if it works or not, is to look away towards the ground or wall, just some angle that has less stuff on the screen. This supposedly helps the gear screen come up quicker.

But really, you shouldn't need to be swapping gear out during fights, just chewing a synthesis here and there.

I need to change out the ToM during the oryx fight or switch from an auto rifle to scout rifle depending on what I'm shooting at for range.

the only time you should be swapping off TOM is on shade phase if you are paranoid abbot killing yourself and there is more then enough time to do it

but IMO there's no reason to just use sniper/LMG in shade phase

I usually start off with a scout rifle to kill the shades and knight and then either use my machine gun and zhalo supercell for the ogres or the scout rifle and machine gun, then hop down from the pedestal, get in the middle, equip the ToM, fire away at his gut, then get in the bomb, switch back out to something when I get transported to the alternate reality thing (not sure if I really need to switch out here though), rinse, and repeat. At some point, I tend to run out of heavy ammo and need to pop again, which isn't an issue, but again, having to pause, go into the other screen, use the ammo and or switch weapons sucks, especially if you are trying to move around, stay in the aura and/or are close to having to get in and out of your bomb.

to me you are overcomplicating that

just use a sniper on ogres and leave TOM on, and if needed swap TOM off for teleport phase, if you want

ogres die with 4 crits and a nade from snipers + you should have 2-3 people shooting every one anyway based on typical strats

For sure! I've only been in a group once where we killed him so I'm really a noob at it. I'll take your advice and just ToM it.

Too much switching. You can totally keep your ToM on the whole time and when it comes to shade, just use your secondary or heavy machine gun. You're putting yourself and team in danger with all that switching since you'll be doing less dps and could die from the loading screen.

Also, any time you switch a weapon, you lose most of its ammo, so that's another reason not to switch during fights.

Running it again tonight from the start so I'll take both of your advice. Thanks!

Used ToM throughout the entire fight except at the ogres which was machine gun to the head. We got the achievement also which was pretty cool. I got the doom of chelchis drop @ 310 which so far trumps the hung jury SR4 @ 297, but I will upgrade the hung jury eventually and see how it fares at the same ll. I just dont like how slow it fires compared to other weapons like the multitool. Up to 305 LL now finally and just need to do a few more of these before moving on to HM. Also would like to do crota and vault of glass sometime.

so.. anyone still playing? Got in a little IB this past week and part clear of oryx last night and got the No Time To Explain also..

Just can't seem to put the game down though due to the fun gunplay and gameplay.

Man I have this game, but I'm too cheap to pay for ps-plus at full price which mean I have not even open Destiny and I got it on Black Friday so idk what to do. PS plus doesn't go on sale like Xbox live.

PS+ can be bought for $40 several times a year. Are you saying you're too cheap to spend ~$3-4/month to have online access?

If so, you probably shouldn't even be owning a PS4 and games with it.

And how can you "love" the game if you haven't even opened it?

I still play most every night and on weekends. I'm stuck around 306 LL. Need to run some KF HM with a high level group that can get past the warpriest and finish the run so I can get better gear.

Just put disc in to install. Good god, looks like instead of installing disc and then patching it is straight downloading the entire patched game to install. Have an hour or so it says to drop in the 19gb install.....

Slag, his son and I are usually on,...well most of the time to monkey around. Soon, they'll be "elitist"....
Nowadays, being in the 3+teens, I do understand why you would want higher levels playing with you. It takes so much time repeating everything at times, it starts to get frustrating and not fun.
Still like to play with low light guys, help them out as other did to me though. But I think we have to figure the time allotted before starting one up. Very rewarding however to have "noobie" start shouting for joy when they get nice drops after finishing.

or find that elusive chest right after killing golgoroth...

My biggest hangup is people who don't listen. We all like to have fun, and I can tolerate some people not getting it after 5 or 10 times, but when people intentionally screw up, dont listen, etc, even after trying to help them out, it gets frustrating for me. I accidentally wiped oryx yesterday going after a blue engram. I thought you had to go touch the light to start the oryx fight but guess thats not true.. I learned, won't do it again either, but meh.

But I have lot of money mate. I have so many games on both consoles and will buy a crazy PC once Pascal or Polaris come out. It just playing for online when it should be free is like a moral principle for me. So I'm not cheap, it just feel like your getting scam. And the free games you get suck so there is that. I know I pay for Xbox Live but that was half off.

It the same as loving Pickup Trucks even though I never own one. Silverado 1500 HD - drools:sneaky:

Install took just over 2 hours. Pathetic.

Played about 6 hours and ended up at level 13. A lot of time spent trying to figure things out (tower is a PITA until you start just looking things up to understand it).

The time spent going between zones reminds you of the install process as it seems much longer than it needs to be. Can be forgiven on those times where the game is telling you backstory and such, but when you're just sitting there looking at the same video it becomes a yawn fest.
