Good morning Guardibros
Fresh off slaughtering that pesky eyeball that seems to want to break down our fair city's walls, we're back punishing those naughty naughty Fallen. Time to teach them that breaking "people", even if it is your Archon Priest, out of jail... just isn't right. And yer gonna get punished if you do.
Weekly Strike: The Winters Run. Burns: All 3 for the nightfall, void for the weekly Modfiers: Epic and nightfall for the nighfall, heroic for the weekly
Whatcha gonna be bringing, Guardibro's? Please feel free to post. It's kinda wide open with all three burns. Another thing that will be nice is that without Angry, the mobs should be stunable from headshots (please correct me if I'm wrong)
Anyways, have fun out there, and please come back to brag about whatcha got, bitch about what you got, or tell a funny story about killing yourself with a rocketlauncher as you hit the Priest in the crotch with your Gjallie

Of course, I'm sure you all know this one, but here it is... the world famous Archon Priest Cheese Spot
Of course, it is not a perfect cheese spot:
- there are snipers that will snipe you from across the map - there are servitors that hit you for splash damage,
and my personal favorite
- the Fallen skiff that drops more mobs in does arc damage and can one shot you pretty hard, either directly or via splash damage.
Nevertheless, I've always wanted to try to drop the Priest as soon as this youtuber does, and with the triple burn and the lack of recoil from P&T or Praetyths', this might be the time to do it... Yes, Icebreaker would be good, but with the recoil and the slow rate of fire, it's not ideal imho. But also misleading about this video... I have never had him just stand there and take it, he always goes around the corner.
I might just P&T him to death.

Nice vid hebbnh... but tragically, not everyone does 3 man Nightfalls with maxed out Gjallies wolfpacking the Priest to death.

Dude still had half his rockets left when the priest went down. It might take 15-20 seconds instead of 10, but it'd be practically the same result.

I've tried that in a PUG roc strike... maybe it was that we didn't have the burn or the titan bubble... but we found that unless we did it perfectly (shocking spoiler d'jour: we didn't) he's just teleport to safety and we'd barely scratch him with splash damage and it was just a waste of heavy ammo

Burn is 3x damage so I'd imagine that makes a pretty big difference. Titan bubble weapons of light doesn't affect rockets. You'd probably get similar results from 3 guys Ice Breaker/Black Hammer headshot stun-locking him with a WoL buff active.

I think the initial hit staggers him, then the wolfpack rounds keeps him from teleporting. I have a Hezen Vengeance with the mini mrv ( the one that drops smaller shells on the ground) would that be an acceptable substitute?

I'd imagine it'd be about as good as anything else. Try it and find out! Just be ready to rush back to the cheese ledge in case he teleports to prevent any unfortunate mishaps.

The first time Mannon and I did this weekly, it took us so long that I think the game just got fed up with us and swarmed us and we did and because it was so late, I had to bail. Our arsenal was a shadow of what it is now. But I am very very very good at bailing to the ledge to get out of dodge on this strike.

BTW... does anyone know if the under the desk cheese spot is still in existence? Or did it get patched? My memory fails me and all the videos I watch that show it, are old

Run 1: Crest of Alpha Lupi (Hunter) Run 2: Skull of Dire Ahamkara Run 3: Universal Remote First time I got three exotics in one week.

I did alot of stuff today man...wouldn't normally but I'm on spring break! ...with piles of snow outside still....
3 Nightfalls 3 Crota Normal 3 Crota Hard 3 VoG Hard
Only thing I am missing is 3 weeklies, but their priority level decreased drastically when they introduced matchmaking for it.
For your pleasure... I have HM atheon, gorgon maze, and templar checkpoints for anyone needing goodies. Just reply here and give me some time and I can get on. I'm going to be semi busy this week.

Senior:
Cheesed the 1st Crota chest while doing bounties: Mats Cheesed the Gorgon Chest: mats (Hawk stole my Hawkmoon) Did a nightfall: Got a DO legendary scout rifle, Crypt Dweller SR1, with 3rd eye and last round deals bonus damage Did a weekly: got 2 legendary engrams (the New Monarchy warlock bond that you can buy for 500ish glimmer and the Coiled Hiss pulse rifle) both of which I had so they were mats... got a new vanguard and cryptarch package for a new rank... more blues, a few motes, and a strange coin or two
Junior: Cheesed the Crota chest while doing bounties: mats
Oh well... not the greatest RNG week... but it's not over yet!

From the Nightfalls, I received an LMG that I immediately dismantled, a legendary void fusion rifle which is meh, and a legendary primary engram I haven't yet taken to Rahool.
Gorgon's chest gave me a Hawkmoon, what must be my millionth Fragment of the Prime (Warlock Bond), and shard/energy.
Thankfully, normal Crota raid gave me the two pieces of Hunter armor I needed (Helmet and Chest).

Grats.... I still need a warlock helm (and the mats for it)... but the good news is that (knock on wood) I get enough mats from 4 crota runs (either or use Eris' exchange feature) to get to 32!!!!

Junior ran the nightfall: got his 9 coins, a 2 blue engrams that got broken down as soon as they were decrypted. Hey, at least his cryptarch rank is getting up there.
