This week's Nightfall is: Undying Mind w/Epic, Solar, Juggler, Fresh Troops and Catapult. Should be significantly easier than last week: no hidden nerfs on primary from Specialist, and Catapult vs. Trickle is like night and day.

Nightfall is pretty difficult considering it was only a friend and I. Best advice is do the most damage; Celestial, snipers, etc.

Nightfall these days become an achievement like thing for me instead of loot source. The rewards are so puny, compared to how difficult the new strikes are, doing it is not really worth it.
I still enjoy it for the challenge and the mini game of adapting game play to modifiers. However, I am worried that I can't find friends to do it together.
Maybe after I can raid regularly and get to above 300 light, NF will become attractive again by dropping 310 exotics?

Any XONE bros that need help on this, just let me know. I am going to max out the Intellect on my Titan and just go to town with the glitched hammers.

This week's Gunsmith Foundry orders: 1) SUROS ARI-45 auto rifle2) SUROS DIS-47 Scout Rifle3) Omolon Thesan FR44) Häkke Aoife Rua-D Sniper Rifle5) Omolon Eirene RR4In this reddit post, the author highly recommends 1, 2, 3, and 5. So far I have been very happy with my purchases at Gunsmith: cheap way to get good quality weapons, and the higher rank you go the more options you have when picking up orders, increasing your chance of getting good perk combos and/or different elemental damage types for Special. As a result, I highly recommend to 1) give field tests and Gunsmith rank up the highest priority of your weekly activities, and 2) place as many foundry orders as you can.

I would love to get 2 more 310 BS from my 2nd and 3rd.

Hammers are gone, 310 Black Spindle remains. THebb and I 2-manned it during our lunch break. Since I figure that nerf is still coming, I want ahead and infused my 310 Spindle into my 300 one, so now I have one at 307. Might try to get a 310 one on my 3rd character also so I can bump something else up pretty nicely.

After this morning's patch "scare", I am also looking to spend lots of glimmers on buying as many 300 BS as I need to infuse all of my "good specials" to 300 goodness, including: especially the 3 class specific legendaries (Hunter's Stillpiercer SR, Titan's Immobinus Shotty, and Warlock's Susanoo FR). Stillpiercer and Susanoo for sure, jury is still out on Immobinus.

Susanoo is awesome. I love the ability to have it match my current elemental build. Very convenient for Nightfall burns.

Haven't gotten Susanoo yet...or accomplished much of anything on my Warlock, for that matter. I'll have to keep that in mind. I really like Immobius in PvE. Its stats and perks make it great for efficient add clearing, and it should only get better when paired with a Defender bubble which I haven't even tried yet. Probably not a great choice in PvP though, but that's what Party Crasher et al. are for.

Looking forward to trying that combo when on adds clearing duty for Golgoroth. First order of business tonight: get all 3 to 300 by riding Black Spindle.

Without the rep/xp boost and no sexxxy aura, I have little motivation to do it. As least, not like I had in year 1.
I might still, but meh if it gets tough

Xur:
He is near the Speaker, outside of the circular room near the railing;
1) Legendary Heavy engram, another chance for bros who don't have Gjallarhorn, while it is stuck in Y1, it is still great at taking out Taken champions on Earth/Venus/Mars; 2) Titan: Immolation Fists, Intellect 32/45, Strength 27/40, perks = Rain Blows/Impact Induction, Hand Cannon Loader/Shotgun Loader; 3) Hunter: Celestial Nighthawk. Intellect 35/50, Strength 36/51. Perks = Ashes To Assests/Second Thoughts, Innervation; 4) Warlock: Heart of The Praxic Fire. Intellect 43/63, Disipline 45/65. Perks = Scout Rifle Ammo / Shotgun Ammo, Void Bun Defense / Solar Armor; 5) Exotic Helmet engram;

After reaching 300+ light, the engram lottery game become a lot more interesting. Let me share my experience, the post is a bit long, but bear with me. I started with Hunter at 301 light, bought and decoded 3 helmet engrams: 1) 310(!) Mask of the Third Man, immediately infused it to my 299 helm to reach 308; 2) 290 Insurmountable Skullfort (that I don't have); 3) 290 Graviton Forfeit (that I don't have); Encouraged by this very positive experiment, I then switch to my Warlock at 300 light, bought and decoded 3 engrams (reason for switch guardian: better chance to get Warlock helm that I don't already own): 1) 310(!) Obsidian Mind, infused into my Hunter to max its legendary helm at 310; 2) 290 Stag (that I don't have); 3) 310(!) Stag, this brought my Warlock to 301 light; With both Hunter and Warlock owning 310 helm pieces, I decided to switch to my 296 Titan, to get the 1 missing helm for collection purpose. I know that I should have stayed on Hunter or Warlock so I can get 310 pieces, but I really wanted to get the collection out of the way . What happened? Not good, not good at all: 1) Another 290 Insurmountable Skullfort ; 2) Then 290 Insurmountable Skullfort again ; 3) Then a 290 Obsidian Mind ; Disappointed by not getting the 1 Titan helm I was trying to get, I Infused my Saint-14 with the worse Skullfort to get it to 290 light, then moved back to my Hunter. At this point I am just trying to get another 310 piece for future infuse needs (either at Warlock or Titan). Bought 3 more engrams: (and just when I am about to leave, Xur said that "there are something inside me wishing to connect". Whatever ) 1) 290 Obsidian Mind ; 2) 310 Light Beyond Nemesis ; 3) 290 Knucklehead Radar (that I don't have a Y2 version); Overall: a) looks like there is 33% chance to get 310 piece out of exotic engrams, provided you have a light level >= 300;b) don't make the mistake like me by wasting engrams on < 300 guardians;Based on the above, I recommend buying 3+ engrams if you are focusing on 1 character, or 9+ engrams if you want all of your 3 guardians to have the potential to reach 310 on helm. This is assuming you have enough coins of course . Don't decode any of them until you reach light 300. Now I am looking forward to playing this game again when gauntlet engram and chest engram are on sale...

So... I'm an idiot
See, I thought that all the warlock helms were eligible to get. So, over the past 3 weeks, I spent 250-300 SC trying to get year 2 versions of all my helms, plus the 2 new ones And because I'm stubborn, I didn't stop after my 10th Stag, or5th OM or 6th LBN
Well, now I have more EShards for infusing.
This is why I ran 3 of the same class, hoarding coins I guess

This is why I ran 3 of the same class, hoarding coins I guess DO NOT shard the extra armor pieces you got from engrams, instead: 1) Examine perks and stats and choose the best one to keep; 2) For the rest, vault them and then later infuse < 290 legendary armors you like; 3) Even after you have a very good legendary >= 290 armor pieces for the slot, you may still want to keep the extras in case some day you want to play other classes;
