    Defender bubble is the light. I had 4 guys come into my bubble in Clash and try to melee me out of it. In fact they did shove me out twice, but I ran back in and murderized them all.

    The Bubble is the Light.

    Don't even get me started on how unkillable I am when playing Control or Salvage.

    Don't even get me started on how unkillable I am when playing Control or Salvage.

    Defender bubble and melee shield buffs are definitely starting to bring my titan around to the Void side of things. Kinda nice being able to outlast in almost any situation.

    Sev: Your gameplay is the most heavily yomi based around. Usually you look for characters that allow you to force guessing situations for big dmg. Even if the guess is mathematically nowhere near in your favor lol. You're happiest when you have either a 50/50, 33/33/33 or even a 75/25 situation to go crazy with. And you will take big risks to force those situations to come up.

    When I first unlocked Blink, I thought it fucking sucked. But I stuck at it.

    I was wrong.

    Blink does not suck.

    Blink is fucking rad.

    Yeah, its really hard for me to choose between Voidwalker and Sunsinger. On a Voidwalker, there's blink and I get a change to shout "Kamehameha" when my ult is on cooldown. On the other hand, I'm literally a Super Saiyan during a Sunsinger ult, with the energy blast spam (grenades), punching things harder, and being more durable. I wish Sunsingers had blink, to further cement my super saiyan-ness with super speed.

    I don't care if they promised a legendary with every game. I will never touch skirmish again unless I have a full party. Randoms do not effing get that game, at all. I'm sick of being paired with knuckle dragging mouth breathers who don't understand the simple concept of "STICK TOGETHER."

    So raid bros, I said screw it and looked up what we were missing with atheon:
    7 oracles spawn inside the portal. Kill them all to get the time's vengeance buff. When everyone's outside the portal, do major damage to him (including using the shield super). Everything else we figured out more or less.

    On the other hand, I am pleased about having titan legendaries. I'm really excited to make a Titan after i get back from vacation. i already have boots and a helmet!

    skirmish is the 3v3 maps. Every game I play it's me and 2 randoms vs 3 guys who clearly have played together a bunch. We get stomped, and I end up wanting to throw my controller through my TV in frustration. Doesn't matter how well I do (one game I had 2.0 kdr despite being DEMOLISHED by an organized fireteam), I just can't get one decent team.

    On that note, anyone on XB1 want to do some strikes or crucible? Lvl25 titan, feeling lonely.

    It seems like getting a faction Class Item is the best way to increase faction ranking for anything. Crucibles and Patrol missions both go towards that faction, whereas it's split between crucible and vanguard if you don't have a class item.

    Oh yeah, I was thinking the 6v6 one when you said skirmish. Yeah, I don't play skirmish either anymore, except when I have a bounty for it.

    Well I may not ever get any further levels, but I got the bounty to go get thorn. Though about the shotgun, I use it a lot in PvP, but with the damage being normalized, figured I should go with a bad ass main weapon that's going to get more use. And it looks pretty sweet too. So it looks like Strike roulette hoping for the moon. Gonna look to play soonish.

    Just que specifically for the moon strike, it just has to be a regular one to get thorn. And welcome to pain town for the pvp portion.

    That's what I did. I have a sniper rifle that does void dmg, it's not helping much. I'm a warlock so it's a little easier in that regard, but ya, I'm at 30 of 500 after I don't know how many matches. I should probably just work on vanguard marks, I have level 2 rep with them but hardly any marks.

    I do have 24 motes of light and 13 strange coins though for when the stranger appears.

    Woo hoo the gun guy was selling a green shotgun with void dmg and I found a green rocket launcher with void damage, so I have those to help me out.

    On another note, anyone want to do Level 24 strikes on Xbox one? Gonna try it with pugs if nothing else in a few minutes, level 22 was easy enough.

    It's definitely a shock going from PvE to PvP.

    As a titan it's basically two completely different games.

    I'm apparently not supposed to use a pulse rifle either. 1 burst doesn't kill the enemy, but they can keep auto firing and kill me.

    Edit: Though on that note, I upgraded my pulse rifle to be able to shoot full auto, but it wont.

    Full auto on a pulse rifle just means it will automatically fire bursts as long as the trigger is held, not that it will fire like an auto rifle.

    Had 6 randoms at the Cave of Wonders. The funny part is, you can go a long time without shooting anything in those situations. They do most of the killing while I just dance and the cave still over flows with drops. Craziness. I now have purple boots... For warlock. (I'm a Titan)

    Edit: this was actually pretty fun, mind you. The public events pop every 30 minutes and then the occasional hive VS fallen mega battle erupts which breaks the grind and adds variety. I was enjoying myself quite a bit.

    I knew I would be leveling all three types of guardians, but did not think wonky engram legendaries and mark caps would be part of the reason. After turning in stored items, and hitting daily stuff... it took maybe a few strikes. On the plus side now that I am Vanguard three I can wear my first leg: A Dead ORbit rep sash. Now if only the vendor would gimme a chest with stats I want.
