I started a new hunter character there a while back, it's a pain in the ass leveling up the factions again. I've a hunter up to level forty, should i even bother getting crucible rep and all that with it?

There's no way in hell I'd spend time and effort levelling up a character if I already had a similar one at level 40, but that's just me

Tbh I don't know why anyone would want two chars of the same class on the go at once in the first place

AFAIK the only thing you'd really need crucible rep for is buying guns (which you can do with your main character) or Armour which isn't very good. Don't think it's necessary. Hunter is pretty good in pvp tho.

Cool, buying guns isnt really an issue anyways because i can swop between characters. Hunter specific armour is an issue, but i'm stocking up on that through drops.

Oh no, i'm not levelling up another bloody hunter. I've a warlock up around 305 light and have the hunter up to around 240 at the moment.

I'm not some bloody grind sado-masochist.

That's an oxymoron when describing Destiny

Also, whenever I suggest doing some Made-Up challenges, everyone decides not to bother the minute it gets tricky or there's one wipe. Very disappointing.:(

I wanted to do a take on Crotas End where everyones only allowed use Shotguns and Swords and no supers, try take down Crota using Swords and Shotguns :pac:

I agreed to shotgun heavy raids. But that was to get you to shut singing "all I need is my bubble and shotgun" while we were at Templar. That was a loooonnnggg night.

Given I have no recollection of this, I'll have to take you at your word.

I thought people gave up by the Oracles cause they couldn't be f**ked moving around. I heard someone shooting an LMG and it was like I turned into teacher hearing a Nokia 3210 text alert going off "WHO WAS THAT? WELL? WHO EH? OWN UP?"

You getting into fire teams with me could well be the most sado-masocistic thing full stop, you'd think you'd have learned by now

Hey, there are other activities that could give you a miserable horn.

Thought that was at me between conflux stages as I was taking pop shots at the enemies below.

Using an LMG is FUNDAMENTALLY against the idea of Shotguns Only :pac:

Sitting waiting for ads to despawn is fundamentally against how to raid, also boring as f.

Some laugh last night on Goggleballs, lads all taking the pi$$ about the bomb and me before we started. We decided to 5 man it until a 6th came along and I said wait and see ill be bomb holder. Jumped into the pit, blasted him a few times then notice the counter pop up with 2 seconds left so i had the poxy bomb, jumped out had a giggle about it then on the next jump in I got the dam bomb again. But i didnt kill anyone this time

Cool down is after every 3oC you pop as far as I know but I've been kind of ignoring it since they started working in crucible.

How do they work in the crucible? Does it matter if you win or lose or how many points you get or do you just use them whenever. Also when you use one should you let a cooldown period or is it ok to keep popping them every game?

Mitch Connor

between the 3 characters and the vault I have 48 legendary/exotic Primary weapons. Trying to figure out which ones to keep, which ones to upgrade and which to just junk is TOUGH.

So many weapons and i'm so indecisive!

Just pop them at any point before the end of the match, doesn't matter if you win or lose. I've been popping them every time but it would probably be wiser to go every second match/race.

Does get a bit boring with only 2 tracks but if you do the bounties every day and do the sparrow quest you should reach rank 3 and that's when the helmets/Marks/Cloaks/ Warlock item could drop at 320.
Got a 317 helmet myself and Mickeroo:mad: seems to get a lot of exotics from using the 3 of coins before the race.

Must get into that tomorrow morning so. I've always hated the grind to level 3 of factions though.

SRL, also handy for leveling up a 2nd character. Finally gave in and took my level 25 hunter light 130 to level 40 and light 300 using srl and then raiding my vault to infuse the gear up.

Thanks, Bag.

Kinda all that's left really. 2 of my characters are 290 plateaued. With existing content. Never gonna be a professional raider but always able to like to at least say I'd experienced the raids!

And hey, I'm usually like 20 levels below what's required to kill even a thrall! At 290 I should be able to do reasonable damage.

290 is plenty high enough for normal mode, what will catch you is the mechanic's

Yeah, watched the walk throughs on YouTube. Pretty unforgiving for confusion.
