They have better gear out there, but I definitely think hunter is by far the worst.
Although the worst single piece is the ornamented version of the Titan helm. Which is weird because their unornamented helm is incredible looking. And then ornamented they get a weird notquitedog helm that was might have been inspired by the Hound's helm as described while wearing a blindfold.
It's still possible Ornaments are available, unless it has already been datamined. The Iron packages we get totally change design when you preview the ornament, it's not just the same armor that's lit up or not. So could be they're just showing the plain version (for whatever reason) and we won't see the ornament style until we're able to access the items.
I dont think that the Warlock Days of Iron gear (Ornamented) look bad, its just the weakest of the 3 in my opinion.
I saw a dude on reddit mention that they dont have ornament slots, if he is right or not, I have no idea though.
a raid with a decent(for me) start time. just what i've been hoping for.
Yeah, this is 9PM for me, all the other raids this week has been 2AM.
We need some more europeans on Xbox PA, I still love being a part of Sunday Best, but I wouldnt mind an additional raid per week right now.
yeah, there's an hours difference between us and those times are a large part of why i rarely raid. was tempted when Jay put one up for midnight midweek, but was in his party before it and it was about 2am my time before it actually started.
Twitch Wed-Sun, 2-5pm CST
I finally sharded a bunch of stuff since a lot of Y1 stuff is now re-available, like the Hunter cloaks and apparently the Queen's gear, Matador, etc.

But there's a ton of cool weapons to buy from Vendors now which are 150 a pop, and if you're sub 350 it can help a lot to buy the Vendor armors, so you can go through Marks pretty fast

Which is fortunate because the rolls are not very good
Existing legendar engrams only drop up to 165 correct? So it would be wise to start using my purples to make that final push to 165 from 160+?
How does raid gear drop? Is it based on your current light level or is it agnostic of that? Basically should I use my exotic Engrams and motes (for faction packages) pre raid to boost my light to get better drops or post raid since my light will be higher?
I was taking up a lot of space with duplicate items (why the hell did I have three Hereafter?), and normal mode TTK raid gear. Plus weapons I'm just never going to use at all. In the end it was worth freeing up vault space just for peace of mind. Hell, I only needed to shard one thing, because I hit 70 marks after doing the daily and the crucible match. It felt good to clear out some clutter (90 marks worth, and not done yet).
I mean I'm decoding everything but breaking almost all of it down.
legendary engrams cap at 365, but raid gear and faction rewards go higher.
That is, you get siva fragments from every boss you kill, no matter whether you've done them before or not. This, combined with how quick the raid is, makes me way more excited to hop in and help when people need it if I've already done it before.
Started counting Class Item drops since my last Ghost and Artifact... I'm at 35 now.
adding to this cause i forgot, Archon's Forge also rewards gear over 365.

Only Class Items sadly. Although Shiro's weekly bounties can drop things over 365. I've got a few weapons that way.

The items they decrypt into do - when decrypted rares cap at 340, legendaries at 365 and exotics at 385/??? The quality of the engram represents the distribution of item quality.
Though, the good news is I am a pro at telling people where to stand and doing binary conversions in my brainmeats.
ah fair enough, it was class items i was getting earlier so that would explain it.
Got another Saladin's Vigil last night that was a pretty significant light upgrade for me
pretty sure i got a pair of boots from there.
And gloves and helms. I think any armour can drop, it's just not likely.
There's a whole specific set of retro futuristic armor that comes from there, isn't there?
Oh, and I gained a whopping 10 LIGHT LEVELS. Walked in 352, walked out 362. I pretty much skipped the entire "grind out Strikes for hours and hours" phase. Basically Motorboat Kitten is incredible people and I heart you all forever and ever.
Do some faction rank ups first. And use your exotics to fill in the gaps that the factions won't provide. Then do a few more faction rank ups.
How in the wide world of sports did you get so many bloody drops?!
Do you think I'm made of patience and time? Pun intended, and gun also intended?!
Whatever I am tmrw/Sat, that's where I am for Trials and raiding this wknd. I would love to level NM a few more times in the 360s and see what I get. But I have a date with a Zamboni. I'm popping all of my engrams pre-raid.
