If I have a fully upgraded rare HC with Explosive Rounds and a fully upgraded Suros shotty with a fresh Legendary Rocket Launcher(Unfriendly Giant) as a maxed-xp Defender, will I do alright?

Honestly, take off the explosive rounds.

Explosive rounds deal half damaage to target, and spread the other half as an explosion. Good for swarms of trash (thralls) but not much else (although people report they cause targets to shake in pvp disrupting opponant's aim, worth trying). In general you will be much better off with standard rounds and precision shots.

Aside from that you'll be perfectly fine.

Do you have anything arc damage for the nightfall? It makes it much easier, and you could use the damage boost at 26.

Who else is in? Don't mind if you're a newbie (following MADGAME's very kind example).

Ps4. Obviously the higher the level the better

madgame was awesome to me last week two! XD
thank ya again sir!

Thanks for the nod guys.

Later this week after I get through the Raid/Nightfall/Weekly on my 3 characters, I'm going to set up more groups for those with little or no Raid experience.

Just logging on now AND PSN is terrible. I'm trying to accept frs before opening Destiny as it slows it down. Won't be a minute.
I got a FR from someone but I can't accept it, and I can't see you online. But I'm doing a quick daily just shoot me an invite when we're ready.

Anyone for a Normal raid on ps4 in roughly half an hour?

Level 29 warlock. It's ok if it's your first time but it'd be good to have a few experienced people too (mainly because I have housework to do so haven't got too much time!)

Still got space?

I'll be rocking my lvl 26 hunter but fully equipped to take on the raid, and thanks to my early hard raid attempts, I know a few good hiding spots.

If Bungie nerfs the SUROS before they buff Thorn and Bad Juju ... *grabs pitchforks*

They must be completely redesigning the skill trees and strength of those 2 weapons to be taking this long. They easily swapped out one of Pocket Infinity's skill upgrades quick enough.

Glad you got the helmet.

RNGesus has not treated me well again this week. I did it on 3 characters, got 9 shards, 9 energies, a third mythoclast, a FIFTH Truth, and a sixth timebreaker/ship.

I can't even get an Epilogue to drop.

Oh my God, I take it all back. I did Nightfall and got this:

Sweet Jesus.

Tried to do the Nightfall at lvl 27 with no arc weapons with a lvl 29 and a 26. It was horrific. Failed at the two Knights in the corridor. Have to get ready for work maybe 2 lvl 30 gaffers wanna carry me through tonight?

-_-

Whoa, nightfall is arc this week. Sweet! My Fatebringer will get quite the workout.

You guys will grow to hate the last word in PvP if Xur sells it. Dying before you know what's going on is not fun.
Unless you're the one using it ;)

Really? I have a legendary scout with explosive rounds and I tried the other armor piercing mod as well and they do the same amount. Its just that the explosive rounds deals damage in 2 half's instead of 1 large chunk of damage. I can deal damage to people hiding behind corners if not much it still stops their shield from regenerating.

I pretty much destroy my competition in pvp and story, even without the buff they just got from the crybaby's.

Another Nightfall, another legendary weapon. This time I got a machine gun... God damnit.
At least everyone else got something similar, otherwise I'd be saltier.

Yep, two halves but you lose out on precision.

Can anybody post a list of what could reasonably considered the top ten crucible weapons? I'm genuinely interested in the what the consensus on the best ones are at this stage in the game.

Is Hawkmoon better than TLW in PvP?

No, imo.

Hawkmoon is a better ranged weapon, but you'll very likely have more close to mid encounters in pvp than long range and TLW trumps HM at close to mid simply because of its rate of fire.

Same amount of headshots to kill.

Plus TLW can go full auto for close range decimation.

HM is still great in pvp, don't get me wrong. TLW is a bit more versatile. HM trumps it in pve, though.
