On Variks inventory: 1) the 365 attack AutoR looks ok-ish, same impact & RoF profile as Suros and Vanquisher, with worse stability and recoil (mag size should be 22, the link is wrongly showing 19). Crowd Control, Flared Magwell / Perfect Balance / Field Scout are solid perk choices. Might be worth buying for bros who are swimming in armor cores. However, kinect AutoR is not very useful in PvE and this weapon is lackluster for PvP, I'll probably skip for now. If it turns out be to solid in PvP after TTK, I can always pick it up when on sale again; 2) Armor: this week is chest piece. Warlock one has Int / Str split which is not ideal. Hunter and Titan pieces look solid, although in PvP build exotic chest dominate these 2 classes. I only have 1 armor core left, consider skipping unless I can earn more this week; On Nightfall: Triple burn might be the best modifier set we can hope for to solo Omnigul. The main death threat will be from arc weapons, especially boomers, Omnigul, and her wizard lieutenants. Some fallens in the first room use solar weapons that need to be watched out for as well. Ogre's void beam can one shot you as well if not careful.

For warlocks, the last int gear he sold was a 60/65 int str helmet..,the cloak with split stats will help to charge that super quicker
As for the weapon.., blech
As for the NF... Taste the rainbow, bitches!
As for the weekly... Gimmie dem coins!

At the present moment I am limiting my spending of resources on Int or Dis armor pieces. Melee ability is lackluster in general so I have decided to not burn Armor Core / EL / Vault space for new pieces with strengths for now.

Melee can be strong with certain builds, but it's definitely more niche where supers and grenades are more universal. (Although int can be fairly unimportant for a Sunsinger running fireborn in PvE in many cases.)

Just solo'ed a NF w/ Warlock, had to go to Orbit once and self revive 4 times to get through it. Reward? My 3rd GHorn Exactly 1 month ago: I was GHorn-less; 1st drop from 06/21 NF: denkirson.proboards.com/post/213415/thread2nd drop from 06/28 NF: denkirson.proboards.com/post/213887/thread3rd drop from 07/21 NF Although I have heard GHorn dropping from Raid and even Crucible, NF has been the most reliable source, with vast majority of my friends getting the weapon off NF run. I guess the moral of the story is: keep playing NF every week to hope for the drop, at least until Xur finally sells it. BTW: This week's NF is also an excellent source for Glimmer farming. There are huge number of enemies just at the first room, plenty of them with yellow shields. Burn your Ether Seeds and Black Wax Idol while explode everything with Arc Burn Fatebringer, you'll acquire a lot of glimmers in a pretty short time while having fun (definitely more fun than Exclusion Zone).

Congrats witty
3 nightfalls: 12 sc, thunderlord, and a purple bonbon that popped into a rare and unobtainable one/one shitnette
Pugged 3 weeklies, used all void weapons (100% ib or fb used) and ran vw.... All were fun and now I broke the 500 sc barrier.

Transfer the checkpoints between characters and you can fly through them. With Gorgon's Chest, Atheon, Deathsinger, and Crota, you can have an additional 12 chances per week, and with a competent group you can probably get all 12 of those drops in around 2 hours.

The main problem is that nowadays on the XONE bro side it is hard to put a big group together that can last over 1 hour, making raid runs difficult to organize. Also, the Raid exotic drop rates are kinda pathetic relative to the time investment. NF still shines as the best way to solo some decent loot.

Actually did that in two of the weeks. I soloed three people to the DS on Crota. 0-3 Then the next week, did with Mal and Heb...checkpoints on DS. Went 0-3. Just not much more time. No way I can find people for a Gorgon checkpoint.

Nightfalls are the best exotic source for me by time spent. Only Nightfalls have yielded more than one exotic on a given week for me and that is where most of them come from. This week I got Truth and Ice Breaker, so my luck with loot on Venus continues.

Not to mention that NF is one of the few source (the only other one I know is the big chest from PoE) that can drop exotic armor pieces.

Before they updated the chests, I was pulling a bunch if exotics from PoE... Ram, purifiers, truth, LBN... and a treasure key each time if not 2. Post update, fuck all and rarely a TK.
Sigh

Sigh RNGesus? I don't bother opening the large chest usually. The bounties take a fair while to get my key so the odds on an exotic isn't that worthwhile. If there were good legendary weapons that may be were specific from the large chest, it would be better. At least when ranking up the Queen's faction, you get better stuff than Vanguard and Crucible bounties.

I've done three NF's each week, for like four straight weeks now. Nothing. 0-12 That's because Bungie flagged your account for being a hater. Your exotic rate is set for 0.01%. And when you get an exotic it will be No Land Beyond.

I had a much harder and longer time doing the Lv32 weekly last night, than the three NF's I did. the Heb's and I took out Ominigul in under ten seconds, each time during all three runs. Maybe it was the burns this week? It just felt really easy, like goof around easy. Wasn't a 7 min run like last week, but it wasn't that much longer.
To Mal
Possibly. Maybe it's that video I made poking fun at Bungie months ago. It's up to 177,000 views now. That might be the source of the problems. I did feel good last night, that my three shots at it were to happen. Unfortunately, nothing. 0 for 3 again. I did get an EL, a ThunderLord (my fifth, it will be shredded), and a crappy fusion rifle.

Oh I got an exotic each time I ran Nightfall: Young Ahamkara's Spine, Dragon's Breath, and Ruin Wings. Only the second time this has happened I believe.

My 2nd NF run this week produced a MiDA, so 2 for 2 so far. Will see what the 3rd one can drop tonight.
