Will be spamming Bladedancer in Mayhem. The Blink nerf won't stop me getting kills I really shouldn't. So what is the point in ranking up the Gunsmith? Rewards or just chilling out with Marcus Fenix?

I've got RL, haven't played online yet. Who cares about RL.... Did you kill Skolas yet? No on the Skolas. I don't have all of the chests, either, so something less than Legendary is my fate.

That is not acceptable. The 35 takes 3X longer than the chests to do. The chests take... an hour maybe? to do.... The 35... 3/4/5 if we wipe a fuck ton TheHawkNY... think you have one more Skolas in you? We need to make let the Blue Grass Goncher teabag Skolas' fallen corpse while belting out the Wild Kentucky Warturkey Gobble

If I'm on and have time when y'all are up to rock Skolas I wouldn't mind helping. Hawk and death gave us a pretty good crash course on it so mebbe we could hack it... Though I'm sure it would be harder without Hawk to sherpa. ;3

I had an amusing time in the Vault today on normal mode. So some kid who has about three clears was telling me what do at the Templar stage. It didn't click with him that I've run it more times than him despite effectively taking on the Templar solo. So some teammate told him I've been telling him a few times and he was like "Oh, I didn't hear" and I was thinking "If you lowered your voice and shut your mouth when eating you might have been able to". I even told him to shut up during the Oracle stage. So I leave the fireteam after Atheon was defeated and then he tells me he wants to add me and do hard later. A. A ha. A ha ha ha. A ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
The Found Verdict is still decent in the VoG so it looks like the damage nerf only really handicaps it during PoE. It takes a full magazine and a melee to kill a purple beach ball in Skolas' chamber, previously it took approximately four rounds to kill the purple beach balls.
Anyway, it's time to get dunking in Rift.

Started the Raid at launch, stopped after 16 hours, at Oryx. We were getting closer with strategy, it just felt like a matter of executing correctly. Proud of the group, it was great fun. We were at pace with everyone else (all the streamers, etc) until the Ogre boss, who was just brutal. That was also when we had our first player swap out, which set us back a bit. But we seemed to be ahead of everyone on my friends list that I spoke to. I hope to get back on later today and finish that big bitch off.
Any other PS4 Bros 290+? If you get up there and want to be able to sub in for someone this weekend for raiding send me a message on PSN.

I got The Hanged Man and Hitchhiker FR4 today. This means the remaining faction shaders I haven't got yet are: The Nowhere (DO), Tyre 4770 (FWC), Nefertiti AK and Cleopatra AK (NM). Wouldn't mind the Trials shaders but I didn't play it enough to get one to drop I guess.

Yesterday I got Mark of the Executor. This is the exotic class armour for the Titan from New Monarchy. The stats are: 290 defence, 20/28 Intellect, 18/26 Discipline, pulse and sniper rifle upgrade bonus, and increased gains with New Monarchy. I lucked out getting Themisto and Amalthea before rank 25 for this and also I have one of New Monarchy's ship, Comitatus. Also, I have all of the Dead Orbit shaders plus the ship, Kondratyuk's Escape.

The ship looks sweet.
How do you get exotic armor from faction vendor? Did I misread?

It is an exotic class item. So warlock bond, hunter cape, titan mark. You get it from a quest, which you unlock once you get to rank 25 on said faction.

Yes! Talking about dedication, there are 9 items to collect, which requires you to get to rank 25 on all three classes for all three factions... I am settling for one on each (hunter DO, titan NM, Warlock FWC)

I signed up to New Monarchy after I got the best armour from Future War Cult in the past so I have some rank progress from that. My Titan goes well with Feud Unfading. My Hunter actually became rank 25 with Dead Orbit before my Titan was rank 25 with New Monarchy, mainly because of Commendations, but I accidentally deleted a Dead Orbit cloak required to wear to make progress on the quest, although it was a low light level anyway so the Heroic strike requirement might be an issue. The amusing thing is I've started the Crucible steps on my Hunter now I bought a cape with 280 defence, and the PvP side is more of a struggle than with my Titan because on my Titan I had already maxed out my Intellect and Discipline is tier 3. My Hunter gear is basically year 1 gear minus the new Mask of the Third Man so the cooldowns are nerfed to oblivion.
My Warlock is also with Future War Cult but I'll see on the exotic class item for that. I'm running low on stuff that I can donate to buff my rep and I'm rank 7 for that. I have the Ghost on my Titan for Glimmer on Hive kills so that helps with buying heavy ammo synthesis packs from the Gunsmith. I can rack up a fair amount of Glimmer running the Court of Oryx. And if Trials of Osiris no longer requires Glimmer for purchases, I could probably redeem my remaining Glimmer consumables that I have kept. But then my Warlock runs Surfbreaker shader, and the blue goes well with Alchemist's Raimant and being a Stormcaller so I'll probably do it.
You can also infuse the exotic class items to a higher light level but you can only use the same faction specific class items to increase the defence level it appears.

Looks great. I'll get it in Y3 with my current speed of faction progression 3 weeks have passed and I have finally finished taken advantage of all the faction edging I did pre-TTK. Now I can get each character back to their "favorite" factions: Titan -> New Monarchy: Titans look like the type of dudes that have strong religious beliefs; Hunter -> Future War Cult: Hunters seem to be the type that are thirsty for blood and prone to be war fanatics; Warlock -> Dead Orbit: Warlocks are scholars, probably hate The Last City and wanna get out

Awesome on both acquisitions, jealous... I don't seem to like it as much others it seems. I actually prefer Shattered Vault Cloak (VoG cloak) and Strength of the Pack (from the Speaker). The exotic class items appear to have their stats and upgrade bonuses set with high Intellect and Discipline stat rolls, along with pulse and sniper rifle upgrade boosts. Or I lucked out. The good thing with my Titan mark is that it helped get two of my Helmets to full Intellect cooldown, whereas my other marks couldn't.

Got Nefertiti and Cleopatra from New Monarchy over the last few days so my shader collection is complete from them, and I got my Hunter to rank 25 with them. Also: Yes, I got the Ace of Spades hand cannon today.

I got an arc 1000-Yard Stare today from ranking up Vanguard to compliment my solar and void 1000-Yard Stares. Build: Hawkeye SLR15/LongView SLR10/Ambush SLH25, Partial Refund, Quickdraw/Rifled Barrel/Demotion, and Hot Swap. Just swap out Hot Swap for Hidden Hand and it would have been perfect.

That sounds pretty sweet! Hot swap is a pretty good perk to be honest! Just have to do some quick YY/∆∆ to get a big boost on aim assist and other stuff. I never got another 1K than from the questline
