It is another week where I must say goodbye to Trials. And this is the one week where I really could have used five wins, because I really need some freaking boots with +heavy ammo on them.
ToO seems super cool but I'm beginning to think it is out of reach for me.
Just get the Crota Boots instead, vastly easier to get, my Exile boots have +special ammo on them anyway (random)
I did the weekly at the last moment earlier tonight/ this morning, and a guy had word of crota. Which I guess is a void hand cannon. I want that. Does it only drop off of Crota?
How do I Titan in Trials? I can do okay on my Sunsinger (firebolt grenades and radiance all day every day) and Gunslinger (long-lasting tripmines and pew pew pew golden gun), but I don't know how to make the Titan work outside of Control. My Titan kicks butt in Control.
I usually shoulder charge my problems away, but that doesn't work so well in Trials.

Also, holy shit the average random in Weekly Heroic yesterday was utter shit, I know you might not have a void primary and thats fine, but if all you have is a kinetic 248 primary and solar 248 special/heavy, maybe you should level that shit a bit before and not waste everyone elses time?
Remember reviving that guy 8 times in a row, he then tried to bypass all the mobs and dying every fucking time, it would have been way easier to just 2 man it.

Armamentarium, double Lightning Grenades with improved duration (affects fist of havoks burn effect as well), use shoulder charge to either kill and/or move faster around.
Goddamn it. Now I have to reforge my Perun's Fire again until I am completely out of motes yet again in preparation for IB.
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.
I am terrible at being a Warlock haha. Especially Sunsinger - I just don't know what to do lol. On another note, weekly reset time and need PSN friends (and always welcome the XBL friends!)

I don't know how or why people go sunsinger in PvP. It's good, and grenade spam can be useful, and it's fun. But I cannot pass up void walker for the sheer burst and multikill potential. Especially with bloom and the new nothing manicles. Plus, blink is the shit. Lord Sith Warlock might change that in the expansion, but Voidwalker is where it's at.
Some tips.
- Axion Bolt is amazing unless you have nothing manticles. Then scatter grenade is the shit. Especially with bloom, bloom is amazing. You want to pick that. You make stuff blow up that blows up other stuff, and next thing you know, the whole enemy team is all blown up.
- Jump is blink, always blink, except in PvE, which is what Sunsinger is for. Learn it, love it, live it.
- For melee you have choices but go with life steal. Often it'll be on cool down when you need it, but when you do, and it's there, its amazing.
- Super is your choice, I like shatter. Lance is actually really good as well, and vortex can be good to lock down points in control such as heavy or a cap point. I'd say go with lance or vortex.
- I usually have anihilate on, as I think Angry magic is almost worthless (If you use shatter all three will track just one).
- last row, Bloom, Always bloom.
I play sunsinger because:
1. Two fusion grenades. I get Halo-style face sticks. Always.
2. Fire punch thing - bonus shield w/o needing a kill. Punch, receive shotgun blast at pointblank range-survive, punch again. Kill dude and laugh because I'm wearing those claws that give double melee charges and I'm back to having a 14 second overshield.
I tend to not use fireborn on anything except nightfall and raids.

Yep, VW for life. I really dislike Blink, though, I feel like it's much harder to control where you end up.
Edit: Also, you get to just smoke entire teams when they group up on a point, which feels amazing.
haha plan C is hilarious. I wanna take this thing into crucible
It was amazing, but one of the weapon adjustments made it harder to use fusion guns. It's still pretty as an oh shit weapon. I may try fulcrum and plan c tonight.
I think the delay on other fusion guns is too long to hit anyone with blink, which has to be half of the crucible players. Hear the charge noise, jump literally anywhere to safety.

yeah I'm thinking of pairing it with my pulse rifle to take care of people trying to push past my optimal range. I just hate the current shotgun meta honestly. My partycrasher +1 ended up with shot package, rifled barrel, aggbull and final round. My survivability shot way up while I was using it but I don't really like having it unless I gotta do the shotgun bounty and then I immediately switch to a sniper rifle when it's done.

I hated Blink as well, after forcing myself to use it for a bit, I now hate to pvp without it, thats the main point against Sunsinger PvP for me actually, no Blink.
I like it for PvE as well, just not near edges of certain death, I can also move faster with Blink than with the Forward Burst Glide move I usually preferred.

So I didn't manage to get a team together to finish my vault of glass raid last night. No big deal, I played some League with friends and caught up on chores around the house. But then it's 12:30 and I'm thinking I *should* go to bed but...maybe I'll just try to solo Templar on Hard Mode and see if it's possible.
An hour later and I'm having an amazing run and I wipe at 10% because I stupidly tried to run through a couple minotaurs in order to pop his shield. Fuck. OK I can't go to bed now, that was so close.
Finally a bit before 2:30 am I killed that motherfucker! Yeah baby! AND I GOT FATEBRINGER OMGGGOMGOMGOMG
I didn't show up to work until 9:45am today cuz I was dragging ass this morning but fuck yeah that was worth it.
Please consider the environment before printing this post.

@CptHamilton I signed up, but this is my first time doing the Skolas fight, so I might need a little coaching. I'm definitely up to do the nightfall beforehand.

I've never actually beaten Skolas but I've done the fight a few times so I can run through the mechanics in the airlock.

So is there any chance that Xbox One peeps like to take a newbie along on Trials?
I've been practicing on 3v3 crucible. I'm not terrible. I can get a positive K/D ratio.

I've joined as a reserve, it's a bit late for me, but if you haven't found another body and see me on, shoot me an invite.

If you have a good range, high impact shotgun, it helps too. Final step is a good machine gun for the Machine Lord bounty. That's about it really.

Crota himself drops it in Crota's End Hard Mode.

This means I won the game right? I can stop playing now?

@Tabin Are we doing Crota afterwards again?
Remember reviving that guy 8 times in a row, he then tried to bypass all the mobs and dying every fucking time, it would have been way easier to just 2 man it.
Armamentarium, double Lightning Grenades with improved duration (affects fist of havoks burn effect as well), use shoulder charge to either kill and/or move faster around.
Alternatively - Ask @Booker
"...only mights and maybes."
Well, I guess I at least should level it up, and maybe keep grinding for a gjallarhorn and perhaps a new monarchy shader will drop soon...
They tried to bury us. They didn't know that we were seeds. 2018 Midterms. Get your shit together.
No apologies needed. I loved looking through those screenshots, as I may never see Mercury. Thanks for posting.

You mean the actual xp for matches and bounties right? Cause Nightfall buff doesn't affect IB rep gain is what I was told? Which is sadface~

No, the only thing that can affect the Iron Banner reputation gain is the Buff that Lord Saladbar sells and if you had some loss medals saved up.

It seems to just rotate between Juggler/Brawler and Small Arms/Lightswitch. It's what I've seen the last 4 weeks I've killed him.
Oooh yeah, angry was on! It's all a big blur... then again, without the burns there aren't that many modifiers they can mix in.
I wonder if they left stuff like Specialist or Grounded in there. Cause man... those two could fuck you up so good in there.
Edit:
Also, posted up a Skolas-killin' game for 1930 EST tonight on the100. If whomever signs up wants to do the nightfall first I'd be cool with that.

The Nightfall bonus will affect the XP gain from the bounties and the matches but not the Rep gain from either.
