    I don't know what you're using, but a lot of people consider Timur's Lash to be one of the (if not the) best legendary hand cannons in the game. You might want to give it a shot. (Pun entirely intended.)

    If you can roll Spray and Play or Outlaw, you can mitigate the awful reload times pretty easily which are honestly the worst part of Timur's Lash. Add on a Luck in the Chamber or Final Round and you have a mini-Hawkmoon.

    And that's the problem.

    "Yeah, the gun bad, but if you press the button enough times and are lucky enough you can get the perks necessary to make any gun into the best gun!"

    Alright, so... it hits like a truck out of the gate. I'd almost call it OP as fuck, much like Fatebringer (and unlike FB, is useful in PvP), except that it has a hilariously long reload time. That can be mitigated through perks, should you be able to roll them. But even if you can't, Timur's Lash is a really great handcannon.

    The one I rolled ended up with Spray and Play, Explosive Rounds, and Grenadier, and it's a fun hand cannon. I can flush enemies out of cover with the explosive rounds, or thin out packs of thralls all at once, and get my grenade back in a hurry. And if I'm fighting enemies that don't group up, I can switch the rounds for Perfect Balance and have a nice stable weapon.

    Regardless, Timur's is not bad unless you get really unlucky with the rolls. Which is true of many legendary weapons, except some of them actually are bad.

    Lots of cool guns in the game, so little reason to use them other than getting bored of the better guns. It might be time to put more "fun" perks on guns, like Firefly or Hard Light have. Sleep darts, disorientation, berserk, poison cloud, etc etc. It'd keep it interesting if you got a gun with one of those rare perks, but likely not a game-changer in PvE or PvP.

    I mentioned this months ago, but Destiny needs an Exotic Gun-Game game-type (a la Counter Strike; I don't know if it's been done in other games).

    Start everyone with Gjallarhorn, after 1 or 2 kills your weapon gets swapped to Truth, then Dragons Breath, etc etc. Ending on No Land Beyond or Universal Remote, or maybe even melee for the final kill.

    Make it a mode with level advantages turned on, and the final kill has to be with a Khvostov 7G-02.

    Mine has baseline stability and it feels pretty smooth. The sights and middle row perks are terrible. If I want to use this in a serious way, I should probably reroll it.

    But explosions. Whatchagonnado.

    Random question: can you queue solo for ToO?

    Judging by that video from the weekly update, you CAN have your teammates quit on you though. I don't think giving people free wins is a "nice" thing to do though, honestly. Those people will have the (correct) impression that they didn't truly earn their victory, thus hobbling the feel of accomplishment. It'd be like if Skolas suddenly stopped moving or shooting and took a nap. Not really the same thing as BEATING him.

    Team No Land Beyond and Team Still In Blue Armor from my last Lighthouse run are wonderful people and every time I wield my new solar summoner I wield it in their honor.

    Team NLB sounds like a brave group, I salute their efforts. That second team sounds like a bunch of geese, tbh.

    I have an etheric light and the only reason to use it on armor right now is for looks, love the VoG helm. But I have a fatebringer and Fang of Ir Yut (? ) the scout rifle from crota. That etheric light is claimed by fatebringer I'm guessing.

  • Crippl3Crippl3 oh noRegistered User regular
    Overall, a rather successful week. Hit level 34, got both etheric lights (so once I get a better helmet I can be 34 no matter what I'm wearing), a 2nd Radagast's Fury, a Jolder's Hammer (my first), 2 Spare Change.25s, 2 bad purple crucible ARs, a Revelator, and an Up The Ante. Plus, ran the nightfall right before the reset, and grabbed a 2nd Plan C.
    Despite all the rage earlier this week, I ended up with a huge haul!

    It, however, should be fun to do them. These modifiers just makes it tedious. Soloing with a burn can be fun and challenging. Last week with brawler and arc burn lead to tiger kneeing a fallen walker - fun!

    Unfortunately, spending an ungodly amount of time farming glimmer in the Exclusion Zone has ruined that song for me.
