So I went and bought the Iron Banner Fusion Rifle. It's pretty good. I had to reforge it 3 times to get the one I wanted (I wanted a Void one).

I wish reforging was an option on all weapons. Then I could get a Legendary Rocket Launcher with Arc damage.

An Arc Gjallarhorn would be insane.

So is the pocket infinity any good? I got the bounty for it today but before I get to deep I want to find out if its worth my time. I know they nerfed it which had people up in arms there for a bit, but did that essentially ruin the weapon?

TheKing

It's probably the best bounty weapon (Invective and Thorn are also decent, with some negatives). It still shoots out three bursts really quick once upgraded, and even before that it's pretty powerful with a single shot.

It also makes that bounty for 2 Fusion kills at one far easier to get.

As for me, I just reached Rank 5 in Iron Banner with my Warlock.

musick

congrats
did you blow 7,500 glimmer like I did for Goldspiral just to have it?

Hit 5 on my Warlock yesterday and stopped at 4 on my Titan today
my Suros was carving guardians up like a Thanksgiving day turkey
love the Crucible but need a major break from it

I did! It looks awesome on my Warlock, but shitty on my Hunter. Didn't try it on my Titan yet.

Just got to level 4 on my Hunter, so depending on my Glimmer I may buy the bond and the gloves. As it turns out, the XP boosts in IB for wearing the Emblem, Bond and Shader stack. From what I've seen, the boost is 30% with all 3, so I'm preparing for the next Banner. I just got 300 XP for each Banner bounty I turned in, combined with Tempered and 2 of the 3 perks (still need the Hunter cloak).

And speaking of Rank, My Hunter is now officially Level 30! C'mon Titan, have some luck in the Raid this week...

And My Hunter reaches Rank 5. Those bounties going for 300 a pop really helped. Now we'll see if the Titan can get to 4.

OK, And My Titan makes it to 4. Bought the class armor for him, then turned in the bounties, and did get another 10%. 3 IB bounties traded in for 996 rep. Not too shabby.

Ditto! Had to do some glimmer farming but got the boots, gauntlets, fusion rifle, and scout rifle. I'm happy with the default rolls for both weapons, as it turns out. Got a Jolder's Hammer along the way too.

musick

damn, maybe I'll have to get the sash for my Titan
gonna be doing a lot of the start of the Exclusion Zone in the next few days

how are the IB weapons? .... anything that stands out other than being able to reforge? I just don't feel I need them with what I already have in my inventory and what I use

Gooter

I'm work challenged, what it say?

musick

need to watch the video ... some real good footage on what to expect from The Dark Below .... 2 words, Dragon's Breath

Gooter

Have you seen this floating around? Not sure of its accuracy but I do see a Dragon's Breath.

Spoilered for size:

musick

^ image blocked for me at work
but if it is a picture of a rocket launcher in the form of a shark then that is Dragon's Breath

definately watch the vid later
unless you don't want to feel like damn now the grinding starts all over again

Gooter

Yup, that's the one. This image shows all of the expected content from the xpac.

musick

oh and to all as I mentioned to Gooter online yesterday the destinypublicevents website is back to its former glory ..... did 3 devil walker PE's in the Divide yesterday and they were all timed out perfectly by the site (possibly better than the pre-patch accuracy)

and frequency is certainly more as I was basically able to roll 3 characters in a row to that same spot with little down time in between

chess

Definitely more accurate.

And I find myself hanging out more on the moon now for PEs. It's just easier to move around with 3 spots that are right next to each other.

TheKing

OK, I got my Titan to Level 5 in Iron Banner as well. I'm nuts.

Farmed my way back to 25000 Glimmer, will probably buy the arms and boots for Titan along with the Arms and cloak for the Hunter, and if I really feel crazy, the scout rifle. It's doable.

musick

chess

You really are.

I might have done the same though, if I hadn't already had three 30s. I've really hit a wall and am just doing a few bounties to level up second and third copies of favorite guns (2nd Eplilogue, 2nd Ice Breaker, and 3rd VoC). Otherwise, I just have the weekly stuff to knock out.

Expansion can't come soon enough, but luckily, I have a fresh update on Warframe, which is similar but better...and free. Plus Warframe has these:

Now THAT is a proper update.

Me007gold

Warlock raid gear looks sick

musick

so back to the discussion of being nuts
anyone else kneel before Lord Saladin when visiting him?
guilty as charged

though I refuse to do it for the craptarc

any other crazy habits anyone wants to admit to

TheKing

On that mission where you have to board the Fallen ship to kill one of the Fallen leaders (same location as the Winter's Run Strike), at the end there's a big throne. After killing the guy, I like to take a seat in the big throne as the mission closes out.

After doing a public event with a random person, I wave, salute or bow to the others.

OK, and here's my final tally for Iron Banner (A.K.A. Insanity Meter)

Rank 5 on all 3 characters
Purchased Arm, Leg & Class Armor for All 3 characters
Purchased 1 of the second emblems
Purchased 1 of the second shader
Awarded 4 Timur's Lash Hand Cannons
Awarded 3 Jolder's Hammer Machine Guns (1 of each damage type)
Purchased 1 Perun's Fire Fusion Rifle (Void)
Purchased 1 Gheleon's Demise Scout Rifle
Spent Wayyyyyyy too much time in the Iron Banner.
Still didn't get the ship

cruzness

I try to push my fireteamates away from whichever "store" they are visiting. Usually into a corner or down some steps.

musick

guilty of both as well

great haul .....

didn't know there was a ship

with all the time I put in can't believe I never got Jolder's Hammer .... seemed like it was raining that drop

cruzness

Yeah great haul. I would've spent more time in IB but I was paying forward the lessons learned to complete the Weekly and nightfall Strikes and running through a couple of bounties with some OG PS3ers.
