So who counters the anti cheese mechanic? Huh? The spawn-behind-your-back minotaur.

Yes, with void burn in the Nightfall you will need to be very careful because two shots from him and you are in trouble. And you need to mind the splash damage from Sekrion's attacks too - you should always have a full shield when the Minotaur spawns. If you are playing as a Defender you should wait for the teleport, throw your grenades, and then shoot him. If he gets into melee range of you, activate your bubble and then run up to where he spawns.
I call him the anti cheese mechanic because he never used to have a yellow health bar, so he was easier to kill.

The spawn-behind-your-back minotaur. Oh, sorry... We stand at the ledge and when he spawns, we tagteam it. Though this week, juggler is active so it'll take longer to take him down.

Nightfall could be rough. We can go for weekly first and go from there.

It's not a hack, that takes some skill. It's just a DDoS.

At least Xur is not selling anything special, except may be a handful of upgrades. You can check his stock on Reddit so there's no need to login.

Ohhhhhh It feels so good to lay some smack down on Fallen and Hive! Just ground out bounties because... raisins, but it was glorious! I finished the Urn quest for the gloves... which I have no real use for because the ones I got as loot are better in every way, but I might use them for Crucible if I go hand cannon.
I didn't get any friggin' shards though, that sucks...

I got on late so I visited with Mr Marko then took a crack at the Nexus solo. I pulled it off, but it was definitely a hell of a grind. I'm back to feeling like I'm underarmed like when I first started doing these. Doing level 30 weekly at level 30 feels harder than doing level 28 weeklies at level 28 did. Of course there also was no burn element, and that didn't help.
I had a very long, hard battle with that anticheese minotaur, especially with juggler. Even with fireborn it was very close at times and even though it wouldn't have kicked me to orbit if I had wiped I would have quit. It just took too long for me to start over. There were times I had used my super and was within 1 hit of going down. At one point I even had to finish off the enraged minotaur with no ammo at all and only 1 grenade... which I think I mostly whiffed. heh It was tense and I used lots of special and a few heavy ammo packs, but I got through it...
Hey Marko, I missed ya, bud! For both the company, and the backup.

Just saw the Weekly is Omnigul... -_-
At least it's solar burn instead of arc. Those damn wizards throw arc! Though Omnigul herself has an arc shield instead of solar, but I still think it's better. I think I could only take like 2 splash hits from her and live last time with arc burn. The knights were even worse. A direct hit from them would almost 1 shot me.
If we get around to it, could be fun. I enjoyed everything but the end of the strike last time I did it... but soloing the end with those wizards... uhhhhhggg! I don't like wizards. heh Gimme Thrall! ;-D

Naw, no prob, bud. I've barely touched Destiny, myself. Got into Archeage while PSN was down so I've been splitting my time even now that it's back. Didn't even fire up Destiny last night...
If you haven't done it before I definitely think we need to try it on less than Hard first. I'm not looking forward to it on Hard. But then should go better this time. It was just a complete pain in the arse when I was trying to solo it before. But at least I've already made most of the mistakes. heh

Omnigul with Solar damage burn is MUCH easier than Arc burn was. You guys should be okay if you have a decent solar sniper and solar MG (Super Good Advice?) or solar RL. Murmur is solar, so I'm sure you have fusion rifle covered. Vision of Confluence is great for this obviously, but you should be okay with any upgraded legendary. Bring ammo synthesis, though, because juggler is on.

I dunno. I should have some time, but might be late. How late can you go? I'll try to make it. Definitely want to put some smack down... or hell, even just do some Devil's Lair to work on Bad Juju.

I found the Nightfall to be easier than the weekly. YMMV depending on the quality of your solar weapons.

Mostly I've been using Murmur for solar. My solar sniper is still just a green... O,O
Didn't do much last night. Just ran some bounties. I bought an exotic engram from Xur and wound up with Sunbreakers. I don't know if that's good or bad. I didn't have the coins for the chest piece, though.
I got rank 2 on New Monarchy, but didn't get me a commendation. I'm realizing that I'm in a bit of a spot now. I just made rank 2 New Monarchy, and I'm sitting at early rank 5 vanguard, and early rank 1 Crucible. I have enough Crucible marks to get something, and now have enough Vanguard marks for armor... but I have no commendations. uhg... I need legendary chest armor so I can use either of my exotic gloves. And I really want that legendary AR from NM.
So it looks like I actually will have to do some Crucible, because I need a crucible commendation for that AR, and I need a new Vanguard commendation as well, and I still need rank 3 in NM so I have 3 full factions to grind up a rank before I can spend my marks...
I officially don't like commendations. heh
Maybe I should just jump into CsE and hope I get lucky.

You only get commendations from rank 3 onwards. For the grind!

Commendations are now the most useless items in the game. I have 11 Vanguard ones and 3 Crucible ones, and not much I can do with them.
My current plan is to rank up my Hunter to Crucible Rank 3 and New Monarchy Rank 3 (I have my Titan already at Monarchy Rank 3, but no Crucible Marks) so I can buy a) Sapier ScoutR, and b) Vanquisher AutoR. These will cost me 2 Crucible commendations, after which I will have no use of these things.

Will I get a commendation from NM rank 3 or do I have to grind Crucible for it?

They should have used them to reforge weapons with the Gunsmith but perhaps give players the choice of the upgrade rather than a random roll. Seriously, 99% of his job is selling synthesis packs.
