I'm thinking about trying to get to max light without the raid... with IB and other stuff, it should be possible... right?

Don't decrypt engrams or cash in faction packages until after the HM releases at 2 pm PT. Otherwise you will be sad.

What does Nightfall with Shield Brothers, solar burn, and grounded do to your groinal region? Soil myself. Then wipe. Then soil myself. Then wipe. It's probably more painful than the new Archon priest strike with void burn... I did that one last night. Wasn't horrible, but not fun. But you know what was fun..... getting a free radiant treasure that dropped me the Heart of Gold weapon ornament to make my Truth solid gold Know what else is fun? Having the Thorn bounty drop on your first Shiro hand in? Then doing that same Archon Priest strike but at a lower level and kicking it's ass. Know what else is fun? Doing bounties to get Vanguard rep that also apply to doing the Thorn bounty at the same time (me gusta los coordinating bounties) Know what else is fun? Mayhem clash with a Word of Crota and just spamming grenades left right and centre and going from 0 to 32% done in 5 matches... when the year 1 thorn took a hella long time because in y3, deaths don't reset your progress? !?!?!?!?!? I kept reading how this would be the worst part... lol... next step: 5 motes of light to "cleanse it"

Better solution to the Nightfall is to not do it this week.

Pro-tip for the nighfall: Use blink. Charizard is really easy to dodge with blink. Even though gunslinger/sunsinger might be obvious choices, I had way more succes with the blink classes.
Even better pro tip, if you are into cheesing, read below (shameless copy paste from reddit).
We did the cheese way for our 3rd run, as we carried a 350, and it is really easy, all you have to worry about are adds. The first two runs were actually quite fun though, with blink, once you got the hang of it. I even used a solar shotgun to blast the adds coming through the door (with bladedancer, so I could melee invis once it got hairy) But really, for all of you who are thinking about not doing this strike, see below. If you like a challenge, equip blink on all classes and use heavy only for adds.
First one I got 19 strange coins, which almost broke me. But the other two times I got a weapon 4 light higher than my max.
p.s. the hill he is talking about is on the left side from the door where the bosses enter the room.

Charizard? Shield Brothers = Ornstein and Smough. From what I have heard, this Nightfall is more difficult than the raid is on Heroic mode so I guess year 1 is back in full swing now.

Yeah I saw that post on reddit, but I don't agree.
The thing is, you actually have to learn the mechanics of the boss fight in the nightfall in order to make it a lot easier (when do the adds spawn, and if you lost a guy, try not to advance to the next stage). To me, it seems more of an issue of of players are unwilling to learn the mechanics of a strike, because it is just a strike. Players know they have to learn mechanics in a raid, and are fine with it, but for some reason it seems too much work to do the same in the nightfall.
I think the hard raid is harder than the nightfall, but the differences between its own respectively "normal mode" is less (if that makes sence).
So difficulty differences between Normal raid and Heroic raid is smaller than difficulty difference between normal shield brothers and (this) nightfall shield brothers. Which is not weird, because it is a nightfall strike, not a heroic strike.
Seriously, just try it. It is a really fun and rewarding challenge. If you didn't complete it after about half an hour, just cheese it.

I would try it but I don't like the mortality issues in Nightfall with respect to the lack of cover otherwise I might as well play The Division again. If I am bored and I would like a chance at a bad reward, I could give it a go I guess.

I mean... in all seriousness, it is a challenge and I'll probably do it. But this is probably 1) the worst strike for solar burn, 2) Juggler always sucks, and 3) grounded for me, is probably the worst, as I love floating away to freedom Last night was goodagood... thanks to @snes_chalmers and bradman for doing some no skill Crucible with me to get Thorn done. As much as I love voidwalker, there is no comparison in MC between it and stormcaller (at least for me). We managed to win a few matches too. then Brad and I did the AS and I got me my Thorn and Brad did some work towards his Khvostov. We also lucked out and got some people in the Forge and we did sommathat too. Got a decent artifact that will take me to 388.5 and with some more grinding, I hope to be 390 by the weekend.
