Lots of mercies; my team just couldn't do anything right.
Got a shit rank 5 package roll of a garbage mg, but I did get an artifact and stuff that took me to 377.
But it was tough last night fo sho

So... I just looked up what Shinobu's Vow does for hunters.... extra skip grenades + extra tracking + extra seeking.
Fuck me, Banana just got infinitely more annoying

Oh yeah, I completed the raid with people from my main group on the100, two of them being my regulars during King's Fall.

Go on reddit fireteams and pug over 100 KF HM CM's with all randoms and I'll be impressed. Pffffffffffffffffffff... raiding with people you know and have expierence with... elitist 1% $hit right there if I ever did read. Does Jeeves bring the Rolls Royce around to put Grey Poupon on your sammich too?

FYI... according to Reddit, the Xur roll on the Shinobi is piss poor, but the exotic kiosk roll is much better... so buy it from xur, break it down for the shard, and buy it and infuse it up from the ipad

Does Jeeves bring the Rolls Royce around to put Grey Poupon on your sammich too? I don't have the hours to spend like I used to, in case you were being serious. I am more picky about who I play with in the Crucible because I am fed up with guys misusing words like rape and retard. Got my Laze-Righter from 378 to 384 so hoping that will make my Warlock at 380 for the raid. Edit: I only managed to get the raid done before with Dumien having not had the light level to compete against Aksis previously. Now that I have had some guidance from Dumien and his friends, it helped me take out Aksis with my regulars. Hopefully this means we can get the exotic pulse rifle this coming Tuesday. If I wanted to impress you, I'd have stuck with Trials since I used to help 'weak' PvPers get an armour piece or a weapon, but latency and long queue times have put me off since House of Wolves so I don't bother with Trials for myself let alone anyone else. Pity because the sniper and pulse rifles would interest me.

Got a 386 Comedian from the Shrio bounties infused into my 1KYS that has Triple Tap, Casket Mag, and Spray and Play. Handy for taking out Aksis. So now my Hunter is 383 if using FP/1KYS/RZ.

Got the raid gauntlets for my Warlock so now all three characters have them. I think I've killed the Zambozi only 4 or 5 times and to get the gauntlets for all three characters is some luck.

Depends on your definitions of luck I guess. There is only three possible drops there (rocket, chest, gauntlets). And you can open it twice. but congratz

Finally got around to unlocking the story on all 3 chsracters and got #2 to ib rank 5. Even got a 383 the Stag out ofit too.
I'm kinda Banana'd out, and f$$k shotguns, btw... but I might get 3 to 5 tonight, the drops are worth it

Worth it and pretty fast if you ask me. Is winning a problem? Are you constantly racking up more than 5 medalions?
I haven't really solo queued much this IB, and am a pretty decent PvP player. So I personally haven't really experienced any problems there. Without losing more than 5 games in a row, Rank 5 is like what? 10-15 games?
That is easily the easiest loot in Destiny right now, if you are below 385. Plus some of the guns are absolute beasts in PvP, if you are into that. (Pulse rifle and Machine gun)

Didn't think they were normally as a frequent drop as they are because one of my friends is struggling getting them and I have had only one more run than him, which was with Dumien. I haven't used a SIVA key for a while yet so I'll be saving them after beating Aksis phase 2 as I'm hoping for the helmet and then have them all on a character like for the two raid shaders during King's Fall. No idea if they need to be worn this time because during King's Fall you just needed to have one of each armour on your character. Will be keeping some SIVA keys for the machine gun and sniper rifle from hard mode just in case they're good.

You can use them for almost every encounter and still have enough. You get like? 15 per fresh raid? And 6? per rerun. So don't save too many!

I was going to use some of them after completing the raid with Dumien but the Xbox Preview Program decided to kick me out of the game, probably because I decided to use Upload Studio to take a screenshot and a clip. :/

(Pulse rifle and Machine gun) I' do alot of soloing or with bradman... I'm not the worst pvp player, but yea... I'm a loser baby. I just get discouraged in supremacy a lot. Plus, when I do do well, I get a coin, mote, or blue engram... But when I shit the bed: 380+ infusion gear. So really, when you see that fairly often (every other game) why try that hard when you enter a game down 110-40 or the randoms you play with DON'T PICK SHIT OFF THE GROUND WHEN THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF THE GAME IS TO PICK SHIT UP OFF THE GROUND!!!!!!!

Well, this was a profitable week of Destiny. Made some pretty decent jumps in light on all 3 characters.
Got a lot of nice loot from IB this week (those rewards were almost too nice, wound up keeping the majority of them...so not much infusion material). Then Hawk persuaded me to joining in on the raid....which, despite being underleveled, was fun. Wound up with the ghost shell, scout, shotgun, and rocket launcher.
One weird thing though, for some odd reason I was struggling mightily with the Warlock jump during the raid. Lead to more than a few accidental deaths or screwups.

Thanks to hawk for carrying my ass to IB 5 and letting me sit back and steal some of his kills to do the Shaxx bounty at the same time. Poor bastard got so many blue engrams and mote of light rewards for his efforts it was almost funny. I think he got a 55 pt game (27 kills 28 confirms) and 1 mote was his reward.
Meanwhile, I did what needed to be done, and I depending on my set up, I am anywhere from 383 to 385.
Time to watch some raid spoilers to know what to do now for hardmode

That's because the final boss requires fast coordination including Guardians' placements in the arena. You're also prone to wasting time floating in the air as a Warlock when slamming Aksis. I got buckaroo'd by Aksis when I was running my Warlock and was empowered again, which made me wonder if he was going to screw me over by teleporting to back mid when I am still mid-air. To be fair, I struggled a bit with my voidwalker when playing Iron Banner Supremacy that I felt more comfortable using a Defender. I suspect this is the first Crucible game mode where I feel that way.

I suspect this is the first Crucible game mode where I feel that way. True, I did floof about in the air way more than I had intended to in the last encounter. Though I had an occasional issue with the Warlock jump in IB Supremacy, it didn't seem to hamper my performance nearly as much as it did at the end of the raid. However I do agree that, like you, I felt a bit more comfortable mobility-wise on my Titan, and even more so on my Hunter during IB. I might have to bump up my Warlock's agility and see if that will do anything to help.

You should learn how to warlock skate. It is not talked about much, and certainly is not as fast or intuitive as titan skate, but it still works. On your titan, as most players know, you boost your jetpack once you get the most horizontal movement out of your regular jump. On the warlock, once your normal non jetpack jump starts going downwards, you boost till the ground. It also speeds up your movement quite a bit.
Also, increasing agility works counterproductive for skating, as your regular jump goes higher, it takes longer until you can activate the skating. Because agility doesn't increase your sprint speed anyway, it actually lowers your maximum speed. It only increases walk speed and regular jump height.

You know, I think I unintentionally skate on my warlock at times...just a trait I occasionally revert to if I've been playing on my Titan. I suppose I should do it intentionally. Would have never thought that agility actually goes against skating, thanks for the info. Means I'll just stick with high armor and recovery.

On that note, I love me some voidwalker in this raid!
Without spoiling too much, Having a vortex up every time adds spawn at the first boss is great, and Nova is great for all the captains in the whole raid. No need to do sword stuff.
Don't fall back into the sunsinger habbit guys. Dying is no big deal at the moment, and you don't have to die at all in this raid really.
