Is the raid puggable? I haven't done it yet at all, but I'm stuck at 290 light and having a bitch of a time getting past it. Imbued my rifle up this morning using a 300 handgun, and it got stuck at 299. Sigh.

I'd say it is now, as long as one of the people know the strats and can run everyone though their roles. We had a group of our casual friends do up to ORYX with guidance in the party chat.

We cleared 3 full raids in 5:30 mins this week, most of the wasted time was on the jumping puzzles. Once you know the strats the raid is quit straightforward. Only problem for me is that damn jumping when your taken at the sisters.

I pugged the raid on two chars this week to sister, as long as everyone is 290+ you can do the first two bosses. Golgo is a bit of a DPS check, if you have at least two people with the black spindle sniper it is way easier. Sisters/Oryx is a bit of a crap shoot, while sisters is mechanically one of the easier fights, you get insta fucked if someone fails the platforming stuff and it will be 2-4 random people that have to do it every time, 2 if you have really good 295+ snipers and 4 if you don't. So most pugs are just going to chain wipe on that boss and disband.

Right after golgo there is a chest that can drop an exotic too. The two chests before that are just mats/mouldering.

I'd say pug it up, the first "boss" (a door) is pretty easy and has a chance to drop a 300-310 ghost which is one of the hardest slots to light up

just bail on any pugs where some retard is bringing his 281 friend, at that point you are essentially 5 manning it. Everyone should be 290+. Everyone needs a mic too, so I bail if someone won't talk or if a kid is talking like a fucktard

keep in mind as well they will almost certainly nerf the raid a tiny bit once the heroic version is out a while, just so more people can do it.

Yeah I just need a better ghost. The slots that are holding me back are ghost (280), cloak (285), and artifact (284). I could also stand to boost my sword a bit more or find another heavy option (286). I was waiting until I heard whether or not the exotic sword ate the legendary one, but since you keep both I'll go ahead and boost it as close to 300 as I can.

I've yet to do any Court of Oryx, so maybe I can snag a few upgrades there.

Court of Oryx quest chain gives you a 300 Artifact.

Couple of questions on that court of oryx quest... So I got the last step to that I think, complete 6 rune 1, 3 rune 2 and one rune 3. So do I just have to participate in them? Or do I have to actually use the runes myself for the quest? Second question, if I do have to use the runes myself, where do I get the tier2s and 3s? I have like 15 rune 1 but only one rune 2 and none for the third.

Pretty sure you just need to particiapte. I've never used my own rune, but I show 2 tier 1s completed in my quest log.

The harder part seems to be finding a group actually doing Court of Oryx in your instance. Every time I go by there, no one is engaging. I have the same problem with the named Taken quests on the various planets, and no one wants to sit around in an actual group waiting on Taken events to start.

Just participate. For the Calcified fragments that drop there, you need to use a rune though.

I just basically soled all of those taken zealots on the planets running into the same problem. That became possible at around 290 light. Yeah you will die, but just spawn right in, find some cover and unload on him when possible. Supers work great to clear the trash around him but they spawn back. The only ones I had trouble with is the one on Venus with all of the captains that spawn right beside the main boss, raining down those blind bubbles. And the one in the cosmodrome where the original loot cave was. But luckily there were 2 dudes there to help. All the other ones are no problem. The real trick to those is finding the dammned lieutenants in time not sure if its a set spawn area or just random, never paid attention. I think there is three you need to kill before the main zealots arrive and they have to die quickly.

For the kill six lieutenants quest on mars, I found that if the main zealot arrives, he is surrounded by them and you can kill those for credit.

I wish the matchmaking would put me into zones that were more populated. It'd make world events much simpler.

Golgoroth is pretty easy even with a few derpy DPS. My roommate and I use a 2 bubble strat (rather than going through all 6 bubbles) that is quite effective.

The raid quest "The Road To Kings Fall" where you have to kill golg, warpriest and oryx rewards a choice of 2 310 artifacts.

So being a retard, I bought an exotic helm from Xur today, not knowing that you can only wear one exotic. I'm already wearing arms. Is it better to just dismantle the exotic helmet or infuse it with my legendary helmet? I'm guessing dismantle, because I can just use blues to infuse shit right?

Keep it. It's worth having other exotics to swap around for other load outs.

Just got my Touch of Malice. Feels good bros. In other news I used my 20 shards or w/e on Oryx and his extra item was... 3 more shards. Fuck me.

I finally broke down and snagged Bad Juju since I was capped on marks. When I last played, it was a pretty crap gun. Either the Y2 version is better, or they buffed it at some point. Holy shit it never runs out of ammo now.

During one of the passes, they gave it more ammo in the magazine so it could get kills to trigger the buff, plus general pulse rifle buffs happened.

Got my saint 14 to decrypt last night... Was a good night. Also got some new yr 2 arms for my warlock that decrypred from a purple engram. First time ever seeing that. No guns though. Used probably about 12 coins just on strike bosses.

So what should I spend my marks on? I've got 150 now and want to buy an exotic Y2 weapon. I'm already 292 light and have monte carlo y2 (290), 4th horseman y2, and the exotic scout rifle you get from gunsmith quest. Dunno if I should snag invective, bad juju, red death, or something else?

edit: I already bought the 280 ghost for 75 marks, so I don't really need any of the other vanguard armors.
