I prefer a machine gun, I've got a few filthy silvered dreads and machine gun sprees are da best.
For normal PvP a machinegun is pretty nice, I've taken a liking to Nemesis Star in particular if I have an exotic slot open, I routinely counterkill other MG users with it.
But for Trials? Truth is (was, R.I.P) a good all round weapon.
Just seems weird to nerf Truth now that we only have one Heavy box spawn in Trials.
Now that my Grasp of Malok has been effectively neutered because of those fucking Clever Dragons from IB being sold with a near godroll - I'll probably pick up my Blind Perdition instead... Just sucks I never got an Adept version of it, only got the Handcannon and the Autorifle, I wanted the Pulse Rifle and the Scout Rifle of course.
So, Vacuum is a perk of rather limited utility, yeah? It seems kinda bad but I've never used it and I've never seen anyone talk about it so I figured I'd check before writing it off.

I'm traditionally a PC gamer and only finally got an xbone a few weeks ago, so I don't have a big friends roster to draw from so I haven't actually done a Destiny raid yet. Just last night finished Taken King, working on a bunch of bounties and missions, trying to get faction ranking up before kicking off rise of iron. With a SIVA strike or elders trial thrown in here and there.
Awesome! There's plenty of us who would be glad to run you through raids, even the older ones which are still enjoyable
Is Iron Banner up soon? Squall99x metaghost do you want to get the band back together?
Radiation Can... can I come? Even as, like, a groupie?
I mean, sure? By band back together I mean, I'm that nerdy like...tech guy that thinks the band can't function without him, but in reality like the whole thing really doesn't even need him around or is easily replaced.
I guess Iron Banner reunion tour next Iron Banner then?

That's what you always say. Also, two-manning the Templar with @Erevar was fun so...

Even with Braced Frame the stability is low. Compare with Saladin's Vigil with Braced Frame:
I suppose it's alright if you haven't been #blessed with a Braced Frame Vigil but when I played around with it I was having serious issue getting all 4 bolts to connect.
So, is anyone interested in a PS4 Wrath HM run this Sunday morning? I've never beaten it and my journal raid team seems to be falling apart. I can probably get 2 or three people in addition to myself if others are interested.

I converted to the Church of Sleeper Simulant in the raid. Sunday was a good day.
Also, unlike some people, I didn't shoot anyone in the back of the head killing myself with the ricochet.

You're both right! Midha's Reckoning was one of those low key great FR's that required some real skill to utilize properly. Besides the perfect recoil stat, it was one of the very few FR's that came with barrel mods, which basically allowed to hit as nearly as hard as the Hitchhiker FR4 while still retaining the faster charge rate of a Vacancy. The main drawback, as you pointed out, was that the stability was total butts, but that was less of an issue if you had good thumbskill for manually controlling the recoil - since the recoil direction was perfectly vertical (again, due to barrel mods), all it took was some downward pressure to get a really nice tight burst.
Of course, Rise of Iron gave us the Vigil, which does takes all of Midha's advantages (barrel mods, charge rate, impact, recoil stat) and juiced it up with better AA and stability, making it far more friendly for novice FR users. Moreover, the Vigil could roll Rifled Barrel, giving it top notch range which jived with voopers less reliant on stability for overall consistency. The difference in recoil stat is pretty negligible, since anything about 85 will give you a vertical recoil pattern.
That said, the Midha's is still a very nice FR, and the Cocoon perk is fairly useful in today's new special ammo economy.
Speaking of, I had a just lovely time with my Saladin's Vigil last night. Pantheon can be a great vooping map, it turns out. Plus people just don't pay attention to their flanks in Rift the way they should, you can just farm and farm.
If your team is bad and playing the spark is an exercise in futility, that is, I wouldn't farm just to do it.
Is Iron Banner up soon? Squall99x metaghost do you want to get the band back together?
Radiation Can... can I come? Even as, like, a groupie?
I mean, sure? By band back together I mean, I'm that nerdy like...tech guy that thinks the band can't function without him, but in reality like the whole thing really doesn't even need him around or is easily replaced.
I guess Iron Banner reunion tour next Iron Banner then?
OR whenever you gentlemen want to "get down".
I miss you guys. I just can't convince myself to log on though. Keep lurking the thread hoping for some good news and it only seems to be "we made this thing worse". I'll try to come back for the next IB. Should probably work on getting the book fully fleshed out too, huh?
Playing other games and (mostly) not buying new ones to add to the backlog has been nice though. Got through two.

I think I was telling rofl or squall that, in the absence of interest in Destiny, we should team up for Mass Effect multi when that drops. Unless of course all y'all goobers pick it up on PC. (I'm assuming there's significant overlap between the Destiny and ME audience.)

Yea, I spent over a week of actual playtime in ME3 multi. Assuming they don't massively screw it up I'll be around there.
So I am coming off a Destiny Hiatus. Looking at my gear on my Titan its all 390+ except for my Artifact which is still 385 and its really dragging my gear score down. Is there anywhere to grab an artifact that I can infuse to boost my score up right?

Archon's Forge will hand them out after finishing events occasionally.
You also have a decent chance of getting high level artifacts from using a Skeleton Key on Strike Chests, remember that these artifacts are of blue rarity, so look at the light level before you dismantle them.

All of the Shiro bounties this week are Forge bounties so it's probably a good time to play, especially early in the week. People might actually be in there.

That's true, but if you take the MIDA, the Midha, and the IF Materia you can get a bit of weak alliteration among your weapons, which carries numerous tactical benefits.

Think I prefer my Ironwreath-D over my Crow's Eye, just been messing around with it in Strikes for now, actual PvP experience with them might differ a bit.
Ironwreath just feels... Snappier? Also more ammo.
As a preeminent authority on both tactical swag and alliteration I'm afraid I have to inform you that no form of alliteration provides any kind of tactical benefit.
You can't keep Skittles in your wordplay fam.
I'm super bummed that I can't get the old tacticool iron banner guns.
Destiny 2 needs item trading. It makes me sad to think that somebody out there doesn't have an Ironwreath when I've got like five of them. I don't even need that many Skittles stashes, I should be able to spread the wealth.
Yay, finally opened up the Plaguelands for patrol. Now, is it me, or do public events happen all the damn time there? In the hour or so I was screrwing around there I participated in three Walker kills, some Servitor fight with axes, and a Satellite dropped that I ignored because I was in the middle of a secret patrol mission. There have been times where it's been a half an out before that stupid Walker drops in the Cosmodrome.

After a buuunch of false starts I had three really good control matches and got my chaperone quest up to 41%. I will get this thing by the end of the week if it kills me.
