That's 6-of-one, 1/2 a dozen of what I'm saying.

If you have 2 gaze holders and one person getting an unstable light each pool, that means that you will only ever have 3 players MAX doing DPS on Golgoroth at any one given time as your Destable Light players will have to come in and out each pool.

So you can theoretically bump that up to 4 players by having the Bombs/Destable Light players jump out and take the next phase of the gaze.

Otherwise maybe you'll end up taking too long what with players running out of ammo.

If we take the Warpriest as a blueprint - then whatever is done to the Golgoroth battle can't change the actual mechanics. The challenges aren't opt-in/out so you need to be able to complete the battle as your normally would, otherwise it is overly punishing to people who don't want to take part in the challenges (which should not be mandatory)

Based on that, I would say Cormac is more likely to be right in that it is probable you can't do the same orb twice, so you will need to rotate through the 6 - it may be that you can do it iteratively rather than all in one run though.

A mechanic such as orbs not coming back until all the orbs have been taken down is a change of the full mechanic of the fight, and I just don't see that happening, for the reasons I have given.

if only we had a sub forum where we could discuss different strats in depth!

Thanks Emmet

Had 1 big xb1 update and another Destiny update as well... took over 30 minutes to complete both. Sorry!

There are more than enough votes on it as there is. It is simply a case now of waiting for the boards.ie staff to get round to approving it (which can take while) and then creating (which can take even longer). So it is really just a waiting game now, one that I think will take a long time.

Got two exotic engrams today(first in what seems like ages) got 310 gauntlets(Impossible Machines) and a 310 autorifle(Suros Regime) happy enough with that.

No point harping on about the forum lads, we've all done our bit now, it's with the powers that be, the powers that don't actually read this thread.

Anyone to run the warpriest challenge later? Not pushed if we abandon after that or press on.

Yup, happy to press on to do the sisters. Can't beat doing the sisters on a Wednesday night!

You doing the full raid? Any spaces?

I'm usually on about 11, but I may see if I can get on earlier today for an hour or so.

I'd be one for running that, but will only have time for the challenge tonight - would have to cut and run after the warpriest.

I can wait to to it another night with my 3rd if you want to give the raid a proper run tonight.

I'm happy enough to do as far as Oryx time and group permitting. But don't mind if people want to bail right after the Warpriest.

I have a checkpoint at the Totems/Relay anyway

I will be brining my Warlock (called it!) so there's that, ideally would like 2 Titans and 1 Hunter to round out the team for a tidy run

If your running one during the day, I should be home at around 3, I could jump in for a while if not will be online tonight aswell.

nocal

I will be bringing a Titan to any raids I do tonight.

AbusesToilets

so what's the deal with the weekly challenge, can it be done on NM and HM each week? We did it yesterday on NM, got the Fragment etc.

nocal

HM gives both drops...so yes you could do it on both modes or just do it on HM and get the all the loots.

Can be done on either.

Completing on normal drops a 310 weapon, 310 artifact and fragment.
Completing on hard drops a 320 weapon, 320 artifact, the fragment and the normal challenage drops as well, if you have not previously done the normal mode.

Don't forget the emblem!

And the mouldering shards and the Uncharged Antiquated Ruin, and the 2 Artifacts and the Exotic Primary I got from my 3 of Coins.

God that was a class loot drop :pac:

Should be fine for that. Will bring my hunter.

PetKing

My filthy warlock is available for whatever.

AbusesToilets

full auto Dis-47 is a decent roll this week for PvP from Gunsmith. Higher RoF than the Dis-43, stability ok, suffers a touch at longer distances.
