I love surprises. I'm probably the only idiot who actually runs around looking for Xur

His order is Gauntlets-Chest-Helmet-Boots. This is the 11th week of release for House Of Wolves. Next week will be boots.

For Skolas, you really need to have maxed out weapons (you're facing Level 35 enemies as a 34), and the GHorn helps quite a bit. I'm not saying this to give you a hard time, but focus on getting your GHorn maxed before thinking about doing Skolas.
I've fired it a couple times since I got it, does that count? I've been mainly leveling up my Hunger of Crota since I have my Vex Mythoclast equipped most of the time (which I am still trying to level up ).

Indeed, and I thank you for being one of my first 4 loyal viewers!

As for the rest of y'all, here's what Lord Saladin has in store for you:

Rank 3 Armor: Chest Piece
Rank 4 Armor: Helmets

Rank 4 Weapon: Efrideet's Spear (Sniper Rifle)
Rank 5 Weapon: Timur's Lash (Hand Cannon)

Both weapons will probably need a reforge, especially the Lash.

Re: Bungie - Destiny

My Titan will be my main murderer this week. Need both chest and helmet for him. Other 2 need only helmets.

Re: Bungie - Destiny

I need to grind Iron Banner rep to rank 2/5 on my 32 Titan and 32 Warlock so I can get to level 33 and level 34. This is a crappy way to level up light.

Is there a better way to do this? POE 34 is too hard. I suppose I need to find a primary that does elemental damage.

I actually have an armor core. I will have to look into that. Thanks!

edit: I will look this up when I get home but I am assuming the POE levels are once per week?

Re: Bungie - Destiny

You can do them as many times as you want but you can only get the cores and etheric light once a week

Sure took them long enough. I bet it was because of all the problems Deej had.

Re: Bungie - Destiny

The Weekly update is out:

https://www.bungie.net/en/News/News?aid=13316

Not much there. They show some brief shots of the Dreadnaught, hint at a few gameplay aspects from it, and bring up the idea of doing another live Twitch event to unveil it later on.

They also talk about the Banhammer, but it's so vague that you really have no idea what they focused on (ToO? IB? General Crucible?) or even what network manipulation they targeted (lag switchers? DDoS?)

I'm enjoying my Ice Breaker. Trying to get it upgraded. Faired pretty well with it today in IB.

Re: Bungie - Destiny

Here we go with the Xur Report for Week 47! This week's Xur Report is brought to you by The Lighthouse. Not many of us will get to bask in it's glorious light, but I intend to be one of them. Unfortunately, Xur is offering nothing this week that would help with this plan, or much that will help you with any plan.

Xur is located in the Reef this week, same location as always there.

Here are the...deals...



For the Titan, it's No Backup Plans Gauntlets. Ugh. It's the 5th time he's offered these, and the first time since his debut in the Reef 10 weeks ago. The roll was better back then (106 then vs 103 today). These are the worst Titan exotic item. Collector's only.

For the Hunter, it's the Knucklehead Radar Helmet. It's the 5th time that Xur has sold this as well. The last time he sold it was 11 weeks ago, just before House Of Wolves dropped. It had a much better roll back then (115 vs 106). Another item for collectors only, as the perk of 3rd eye on all primaries is OK, but not as useful as the other hunter helmets outside of the Arachnid.

For the Warlock, it's the Claws Of Ahamkara gauntlets. It's the 4th time Xur has sold these, but the first time they've appeared in 5 months! Wow! This is the best roll he's offered, and is the best armor he's selling this week. The second melee charge is nice, but the charge rate for it is really slow.

The engram this week is for helmets. Another shot at the Ram perhaps?

The weapon this week is the SUROS Regime Auto Rifle. It's the 4th time Xur has sold this weapon, and the 1st time in 4 months. We all know the story here: This used to be the best gun in the game, or pretty damn close. The SUROS perk was beastly, and in PVP this thing was a monster. Then they nerfed auto rifles and doubly nerfed the SUROS by neutering its main perk. Still, with the auto rifle buff coming, this weapon could be useful again.

Pulse/Scout/Sniper telemetry this week.

And that will do it for the text version of the report, stay tuned for the video report, coming up next...

Re: Bungie - Destiny

Any opinions on suros vs hard light? I might have to pickup knucklehead radar just to get an exotic for my hunter. I don't know if I want to gamble on getting a ram helm due to my low amount of motes and how poorly it went last time lol

Right now, the SUROS is better.

But Hard Light is being buffed in addition to Auto Rifles in general. So that could change.


For those interested, Trials Of Osiris is back on Burning Shrine this week.

Re: Bungie - Destiny

If you can spare the coins then yes. You might want it later and may not get it. It's not too bad and will help with then iron banner bounty if that's your thing.

Re: Bungie - Destiny

Finally completed PoE on 32. You've never heard three people so happy

Got the Kellslayer helmet for my Titan. I'm a 33, and I can hang my laundry up on it
