Yeah when i did my second warlock i had a friend blaze me through the story because i couldn't be arsed to do it over again. It wasn't bad when a lv28 is killing all the enemies and you get xp.

 

[Rage187]

ok, Nightfall is Omnigul again. WTF?

 

[Rage187]

Got Dragon's breath from the first crota chest. 39 energy already ^^ going to turn that into shards when I hit 4 on eris. only at 3.5 atm.

 

[cmdrdredd]

I don't think its random. They are trying to force people who got the game for christmas to buy the expansion. Just like they did when the expansion released.

 

[Rage187]

got two pairs of deathsinger gloves. already had some though.

 

[smackababy]

Really hoping I get raid gloves this week so I can start farming the shards and hit 32. Can't wait to hit 20 on the Titan, so I can start running through as well.

 

[Rage187]

anyone on psn want to do nightfall? solar burn which makes it suck a lot less.

cleared it twice. Gjallahorn dropped to the only guy in the fireteam without one. Was kind of a cool moment

Also, it is super easy with solar burn.

 

[metaphors]

I can't do it for a few hours, i'm glad it's at least solar burn ice breaker,vex and voc should put in some work. no Gjallahorn here though sigh.

 

[Rage187]

crota loot pinata paid off today.

warlock govesx2
Titan gloves
titan boots (needed these)
dragon's breath
and a mixture of energy and shards


just boots for my warlock(s) and a helmet for my titan and i am done. I should have enough energy to convert to upgrade everything. I just hope the RNG jeezus hooks me up next week with the missing items.

 

[smackababy]

Yay! Legendary fusion rifle from nightfall. I have a feeling Crota is going to give me shit.

 

[smackababy]

And a fusion rifle from Crota... This one isn't awful though.

Lol is it better than the murmur?

 

[Rage187]

We did Crota 3 times today.

First time I got the ship and shader
2nd time shards and the machine gun
3rd was energy and the rocket launcher

I have about half of the Crota weapons. The shotty, sniper, machine gun and rocket launcher.

 

[smackababy]

Lol is it better than the murmur?

It is. It doesn't have the element switching, but it does have the Crota weapon "extra hive major damage" bonus.

Trying to farm the Titan to at least 30 now. Missing purple gloves, but with some XP for the rest of the pieces I think I'll hit 30 and be able to do the nightfall. Just gotta grind the XP for the other stuff. =(

Finally got full raid gear for the hunter though. Just waiting on shards.

 

[TallBill]

Hit 32 on my hunter this week, very noticeable damage upgrade on the raid. Now its time to grind out the other two characters lol. Just need 50 shards till my next one hits 32

Did you farm the shards for the hunter on the other characters as well? I am hoping to do that with my Titan once I get him to 30+.

How does Dragon's Breath compare to Ghjallahorn? I know it isn't as good, but it can't be too much worse can it?

Mixed feelings about it from the general population from what I've read.

Overall it isn't as good as Ghorn.

Some people rank it as: Ghorn -> Truth -> Hezen -> Dragon's Breath

I'm buying it just b/c I have plenty of coins and don't have this weapon yet. Bungie can always buff it in the future too.

 

[cmdrdredd]

Very low velocity compared to horn, no tracking, the solar grenade only lasts a few seconds and is nowhere as damaging as clusters (even other non tracking clusters do more). Its a ton worse. I wouldn't waste an exotic slot on it personally. Let me put it this way. If i was at home and able to buy it i would but it would sit in the vault and go unused 99% of the time.

 

[smackababy]

I wonder how the Vanguard one stacks up. It has clusters, which seem to be the key to being very damaging. I actually found one, but it has tracking rather than clusters.

I did buy one of the Vanguard scout rifles the other day and I am loving it. It is much better, in a group, than the Bad Juju. In solo play though, Bad Juju is superior due to never having to reload manually.

What perks does the vanguard one have? I cant see it from the app. If you have one with tracking don't get rid of it. That is a great perk to have for wizards.

The only difference I believe is tracking vs the clusters, but I'd have to do a real compare to see. The other perk was insignificant on both.

 

[Rage187]

Speaking from experience. horn>hunger of Crota > truth > dragons breath


I got a great weapon from leveling up vanguard. A Nitc scout rifle but mine causes the target to explode with precision kills. A fatebringer scout rifle!
