I haven't got in a serious raid attempt yet. I have had some destinylfg people add me and they pull me into things when the shit has already hit the fan and someone else has quit. My schedule is too hectic to plan anything. I'll get there eventually, but all of this organizing for video games is too much.

Haven't found a primary I'm happy with yet, or if I do get one I like, the perks are not good. Had a Hawksaw with full auto, but it fired too fast so I ended up wasting ammo. The warlock scout rifle is really nice, but requires full super energy to make it worth using. Currently using the Righteous VII from NM that has HCR / Persistance, and the improved handling scope..its really nice, but I canNOT find any blue engrams above 294 to infuse it. Going to buy a Hung Jury from DO today and give that a try.
For exotics, I think Monte Carlo is the best, but it only really shines if you have great aim (which I don't, lol). Thought about getting a y2 Bad Juju or Red Death, but I think there are better legendary pulse rifles around if you can get the right perks.

For legendaries i use
Hawksaw - perfect balance, outlaw, snapshot (i must have crazy luck with rolls)
Last Extremity - Triple tap, extended mag, firefly
Suros ARI-45 - Perfect Balance, Snapshot, Glass Half Full(like old suros!)
Legendary sword of choice
Exotics - Bad Juju or Suros Regime, Exotic Sword of choice
I quite literally use nothing else other than ToM which depends on the boss fight. LE is better than all scout rifles to me and Hawksaw same in my head besides the raid pulse w/ firefly on it.

I had a Last Extremity for a bit, but ended up sharding it to level up Hung Jury. The Dead Orbit roll of Hung Jury is just about perfect, and it fires almost identically to a Vision of Confluence without full auto. The stability even without maxing it out is just phenomenal. My first choice is still Jade Rabbit, but I end up using it less so that I can run an exotic secondary or sword.
Had something really weird happen last night. I imbued a 300 helmet into a 280 from Xur, and it came out 294 instead of 296. That's below 80% return. Very strange.

Finished the KF raid. Oryx was fun. Thankfully we had some guys with us that had done the encounter before so all I had to do was be on add duty and take over a platform/bomb dentonating if someone died. Ended up getting the emblem, some exotic quest item drop, and the handcannon (which I hear is pretty terrible) at a 302 roll.
Anyone have interest in forming up a reset day KF raid group?
Even on reset day, most of the PUGs I've ended up with are complete shit shows. I'm really sick of PUGs breaking up as soon as we get to Oryx without even attempting him. I still haven't managed to kill him and I'm not liking how this makes me feel like a casual.

I am at right around 30 calcified fragments and all done with the rest of the quest, going to try and get all the rest today. I can do 44 solo and then I have to choose T3, Agonarch, or one I missed in the raid between war priest and golg. I have the antiquated rune so will probably do that so I don't forget to before he rotates on Tuesday.

you can solo agonarch pretty easy at 290+ and if you die you just spawn back and keep killing stuff. Its pretty easy finding people though using LFG since anyone who hasn't charged their rune will fully charge it while killing stuff. Also the chest you unlock at the end is openable for like 15 minutes by anyone who joins your fireteam, I did it once and then looted it on all 3 of my chars by having someone else stay in the room while I switched chars then he switched, you just need a charged rune to open the final chest - so if you do somehow fail you won't lose the charged rune anyways, its only consumed when you open the reward chest. worth looting 3x if you can since I got legendary engrams each time.
Use this website to see the fragments your character is missing, unfortunately it only tracks account wide so it isn't helpful for 2nd and 3d chars

Count me in Sarthis if you have space.....Caduceus888. I usually get home around 6 pm PST, dunno if that's an issue, I know when we used to kill Crota and such most of you guys were East Coasters and started earlier. I've been pugging Oryx the whole way and like you the mileage varies, it would be nice to be in a regular group. All my toons are 300+ now, I don't mind wiping with a mature group like I know you guys are/were, it's the kiddie pool in DestinyLFG that drives me crazy sometimes....people leaving after wiping one time on Oryx, etc.
Anyways, if you see me on and you have space, count me in.
I also know all the secret chest locations and crystallized fragments, if you guys still need those.
With a good group Kingfall is the easier that VOG IMO and would be easier than Crotas end if Crotas end didnt have so much cheese. Once you learn the mechanics the hardest part by far is all the jumping. Hard mode could change my opinion though.

I dont like it either. Its nice to clear out packs of minions in strikes, but other than that its crap. I hate how when you ADS this thing you cannot even see WTF youre shooting at because of the arc effects on the nose of the gun. super annoying. the only place I run thei sthing is in certain strikes with tons of trash mobs. I prefer the suros where it staggers the enemies and bosses and pounds them with force, including shieled and yellows.
Man red death is killer in PvP. Ive been running tons of PvP lately to figure out all the new maps (did not play since Crota) and luckily I got a red death to drop for me from that deceptive engram in the begining of yr two. So it ws the first yr 2 exotic I bought when I acquired 200 marks and had nothing to spend them on. and let me tell you the thing is a fucking beast in PvP. If you run aggresive ballistcs on it you can 2 shot people, but I opt for more range with mine so the headshots do 33 and can down someone with 3 bursts. the only thing that bests this gun is some of the godly Yr1 rolled auto rifles people stil use in regular crucible. I have also ben bested by handcanons close up and monte carlo as well with its fast TTK.
Ive also heard people having great sucess with the Ju-Ju as well in PvP. Its a bit softer hits with 27 per headshot but the range and stability on it is fantastic and can build your supers faster which leads to more kills plus its full auto so there is that.
Honorable menton goes to Suros PDX-45, H?kke Lyudmila-D (4 bullets per burst can 2 burst people), Hawksaw, Villany from FWC with good rolls like stability, fast reload, headseeker. One thing to note is some of these new pulse rifles in 2.0 tend to recoil up and to the left, wich is opposite to the right that most of them did in yr1. so you have to play with them a while to get the hang of the feel. this is why the stability perk is nice because they go streight up instead of the left when you perk them.
I have not figured out the shot guns yet. All I see is the god rolled ones from yr one.

Yeah, last night was my first encounter with it. Some things you just need to die to once or twice to make them click. I think what made it seem difficult is how unforgiving the mechanics are if you fail. There's a lot of "oops, you missed a jump, auto-wipe" going on.
