I see you're already full up. No worries, I'm just doing some of the bounties first. Let me know if a spot does open up though.

Sorry dude, missed your message. Sure we could group up some time.

Your team should be able to do it, the mobs are harder than in the level 24 strike but the bosses are a piece of cake. You need to take advantage of elemental weaknesses of the enemies to bring down their shields so as long as you know what you're doing there you'll be fine.

I will say that a level 24 strike from the playlist should be well within your capabilities too so I'm not sure what troubles you were having there.

Good luck!

Yeah I get that. The Mars one (Valus Ta'aurc?) with the rocket spam can definitely take aaages.

durianOblivionz How about another go at Nightfall before the raid tonight? We were close the last time.

Farmers will always find a way.

At this rate I imagine Bungie will eventually patch all spawn point frequencies to 40s.

Anybody want to sub in for a Raid tonight? Looking for minimum level 26, preferably Titan. Hit me up on PSN now @swimbuff, we're going in soon.

Edit: We're full up.

Good raid session tonight. Just a little bit more to complete it. Got disconnected at the end there due to some strange permissions error, but looking forward to tomorrow's sesh.

Edit: Nojo get a mic!

Legendaries only take you up to 28, exotic bumps it to 29 and raid gear gets you to the big 3-0. Hope I get some raid armour tonight, envious of my friends who have it! I'm looking at you Rei7.

isr25 You folks were in the raid pretty long last night, did you get to Atheon?

What happened with today's raid session? Are we doing it tonight? durian Oblivionz

Yeah I thought you guys would've finished it this afternoon. Apparently durian overslept.. Haha. We can spend a little bit of time doing it tonight if everyone's around.

Ah, so apparently you either get the Chatterwhite shader or the Glass Minuet ship as one of the Raid completion rewards. No wonder I didn't get the shader. Anyway, saluting the team for a job well done!

Also durian, I'm down to run the raid with you again this week since you missed out on the completion rewards. I'm sure the other guys from the team don't mind joining too. We should spawn right at Atheon if you're fireteam leader. We have to do it tonight though before tomorrow's progress reset.

Nojo wanted to join. Itsybitsypony on PSN if I'm not wrong.

I'm happy to give up my spot if someone who hasn't done it wants to play and get the rewards. Though if you haven't done it at all you're better off playing it from the beginning.

Playing as a Hunter, I disagree that we are OP in PVP. We have the least amount of health and both our supers are not automatic kills and can be wasted, requiring skill and planning to use them effectively.

With the Golden Gun you have limited time to aim and shoot at people while having a huge flaming golden target on your back. Arcblade requires you to plan ahead when to activate since it makes an obvious noise that alerts others when activated, and then you have to get up close and attack people individually giving people plenty of time to counter.

Whereas the offensive supers of a Titan only require you to jump into a group of people and activate while the Warlock requires a little bit more aiming with both being AoE attacks.

Edit: Forgot to mention another fatal flaw of the Hunter supers: they both have activation windows that leave the hunter vulnerable. Sometimes I wish I have a get-out-of-jail card like the titan smash that activates instantly. Definitely helps in sticky situations! So all in all the supers across the 6 subclasses each have their advantages with none being OP.

Yep, that super activation window on the Hunters is something I forgot to mention in my initial post. It's definitely a huge weakness that other people can exploit. I've gotten many free kills from people activating a Hunter super in plain view of me.

If you wanna talk about OP class abilities, that Titan shoulder charge tho... I'm just kidding.

When you see a Titan sprinting towards you, take out your shotgun and pray it's not a super. The most effective way of countering that shoulder charge, IMHO.

Self res is good for the raid. Even one man down can make it the raid whole lot tougher.

Raid resets tomorrow. I think with the regular team we can get it done in an hour this time. That should leave plenty of time for Shadow of Mordor.

That was a good plan for the Atheon fight. Gives me confidence we can do it fairly quickly with the regular team.

A point to consider for everyone jumping on the middle platform: yesterday I noticed that with the team split up three ways during the buff, sometimes when Atheon attacks the sides, we don't get a clear line of sight to his weak spot. I'm not sure if it's the same for the defending team on the sides when Atheon faces centre. Everyone jumping to the centre forces Atheon to face one direction with clear LoS to the weak spot, ensuring consistent critical damage from the team.

Yeah the jumping around can get a little dicey but I'm sure we can pull it off once we get into a rhythm.

See, you guys don't have to carry me makes it easier to win the 2v3 skirmish. Haha.

Yeah let's do the raid tonight, we can get more raid gear to prepare for Hard mode. I want my Chatterwhite!
