Also, as soon as you hit lvl28, do the first PoE. You get a guaranteed exotic (i'm not 100% sure thats guaranteed) and legendary weapon (definitely guaranteed) the first time you do it every week. Has made a huge difference for me, though i still need an Exotic/Legenday scout rifle.

As long as you have a Ether Key thingy though

Just realised Skolas is on a 4 week rotation.... evidence incoming

As promised:

Modifiers:
Brawler - Guardian Melee damage is greatly increased
Juggler - No ammo drops for your equipped weapon

Obviously the 1st one is a helpful one for Guardians but given the amount of Shotgun Shells, Sniper Rounds and G-Horn Rockets this encounter requires to be done easily, Juggler will actually help you as opposed to hinder.

Don't forget that This Is The 2nd Last Week you can kill Skolas (Moments of Triumph ends in 14 days - Check Bungie.net) in time to complete the challenge and next week more than likely will have very unhelpful modifiers so don't delay, get Kell slaying Today. Or you might just end up kicking yourself.

The below Cycle suggests Next week will be Small Arms & Lightswitch

Previous Modifiers:
- 18th August: Small Arms & Lightswitch
- 11th August: Catapult & Angry
- 4th August: Small Arms & Lightswitch
Cycle Repeats
- 28th July: Brawler & Juggler
- 21st July: Small Arms & Lightswitch
- 14th July: Catapult & Angry
- 7th July: Small Arms & Lightswitch
Cycle Repeats
- 30th June: Brawler & Juggler

4 Week Cycle Ends (or technically begins):
- 23rd June: Small Arms & Lightswitch
- 16th June: Brawler & Juggler
- 9th June: Solar Burn - 2nd June: Void Burn

Don't forget if the iron banner is on the glitch is still working and make sure you have money. Althought most of the things he sells will be useless in a few weeks

Indeed. You get one from finishing the House of Wolves story, and also get one per week for your first Wanted bounty. Will be the first thing i do tonight.

Etheric light is useless once TTK comes out, yeah? Can't see a reason to play IB this time around other than a bit of fun.

Vision of confluence is fairly daycent in PvP, been using it a bit more in preperation for patch. Need to figure out a scout rifle I like using. Prefer ranged in my primaries.

There's not really many better Scout Rifles (Legendary wise)

Since it has Full Auto (actively buffs RoF) and Full Stability (mid-tree perk).

I don't think you can roll a SR with a better Time to Kill than it afaik.

Also, lets you use Truth in Iron Banner, and with everyone going for Machine Gun bounties, thats super fun

You may not buy my lies, but you also won't be buying the weapons, armour or etheric light!

Its a good laugh alright, but...

1. The weapons will be underpowered PoS in three weeks.
2. The armour will be underpowered PoS in three weeks.
3. Etheric Light will be utterly useless in three weeks.

Beyond crucible fun (which could be had in crucible...) there isn't a point. Unless the level glitch continues to work once TTK arrives - in which case getting to level 5 this time around would have benefit in a month or so.

Spotted this post mentioned on the Reddit Twitter feed....was going to accuse you of robbery, but realised it was you too

For those that haven't studied the lore via Grimore cards (I've never looked at a single one) this a very good article explaining the history and story of destiny, probably as briefly as possible. There are details omitted, but it gives enough detail to explain things well enough.

http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2015/08/24/what-s-going-on-in-destiny-s-story-anyway.aspx

Mitch Connor

With regards that GI article, I saw this comment on Reddit:

"agreed. this is why I often maintain in conversations about the game that there is a story in vanilla destiny, and it's actually a pretty interesting introduction to the world, but the execution of the story is terrible and requires way too much effort on the part of the player to piece it together."

I would agree with that - there is a story there, not as good as the one we were seemingly deprived of, but it is there and it could be very interesting, but the game itself puts in no effort to give it to you. As a result of that, I have always felt that while your guardian is a driver or massive change and importance, I have never felt they were a part of the tower or the city - i've always felt almost a lone gun in the wilderness, just doing whatever I think I can in any given situation (like Det. John McClain...)

When you compare the history, the accomplishments and the impact we have has as a single guardian (just looking at the main story lines, not the raids) and compare it to Lord Shaxx, or any of the Iron Lords, or the other fabled guys and gals (who failed to stop crota, who failed to drive back the fallen, who failed to make any impact on the hive...) we should be any absolute venerated LEGEND, we should have great weapons forged in our name. Yet we schlup around the tower doing the biddings of other, running their menial bounties, bowing to them as we hand them in - in the hope of getting a different colour palette for our armour.

Its actually something that annoys me about the game as I think of it - we have done more than any guardian or group of guardians combined have ever done, and I feel like we are still just a single almost anonymous entity in the tower. Shaxx at all should be dying to fight at our side, to witness our greatness - not sending us off to collect 10 wire wraps or some piece of crap.

The conspiracy theory is the story was all there but EA ripped it apart so it could package it up as DLC for later / release the game on time. It did have the making of a good tale but ended up a disjointed mess. I don't even know if we're the good guys.

Fixed.

Edit: Not even EA can be blamed for what happened.

I often feel that the publisher gets the shaft when a game goes wrong. Realistically, it was bungies first big multiplatform game since the halo series, and its a wildly different affair. If anything, I reckon they were probably way behind schedule when activision finally blew the whistle and demanded the game be released.
I've a feeling the taken king could be a turning point though, I'm deliberately holding off on starting a new character so that I can go through the "directors cut" of the story.

Possible Skolas Sherpa on Reddit if any of you people (Solvable, Fieldy etc) want to message him

https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/3ibezd/need_moments_of_triumph_this_week_is_the_easiest/cuf1t9i?context=3

If you are on PS4 and need help with Skolas, I have 40+ completions and am willing to help people with it. PM me your PSN ID and I will help people on a first come first served basis.
Also, please be advised that I will expect you to listen, understand and learn as we go along. The Skolas mechanics are made for a marathon not a dash. I take my time with it so do not expect 15 min Skolas kills.

I was using that last night in Crucible for the first time. It has Luck in the Chamber and Final Round (bit cheaty I know), but it has a small mag size. I may ascend it for IB this week. Got a few 2 shot kills. Impact is huge on it, but it handles really well.

I have the same roll on mine.

Have a decent Ill Will too - thought the perks aren't great - I was focusing on stuff to increase the reload speed on that cause if it is left as standard it feels like your guardian is giving up on life when you press reload.

You nearly have the Vanguard levelled up.

- Do the Daily Story Mission today
- Do all the Daily Vanguard Bounties (6 of them)
- Do 1 Daily Public Event (while patrolling)
- Do the Weekly Lvl 26 Strike.

All of that should only take 2 hours

That should let you hit lvl 2 on Vanguard and Buy Gauntlets or Boots.

Each one will bring you up a level and a half. So you could be level 28 on your Titan by the end of the day.

thanks i'll try to get those done this evening.

i'm still trying to figure the game out its actually quite hard to figure out on your own.
it does pretty much almost nothing to help you when you hit lvl 20

there are websites / phone apps that track where and when the public events are going to happen as well, it used to be very frustrating trying to find them before.
