Add me on PSN if you like, same as GAF. Good advice on the Weekly Nightfall first. My Cryptarch rank is a hair away from level 28. I should be getting free stuff from him by now, or at least a loyalty punch-card!

The Vex weapon is completely fair, what are you talking about?
.I am stunned, by the way, that normal Crucible doesn't just force everyone to use stock weapons / armor and that Iron Banner is the "Let us do this!" version for PvP. I guess it helps spur people to grind for gear since the weapons / armor DO matter in Crucible, but if Iron Banner was permanent that could be solved for.
I predict lots of disappointed people when they release class balancing and Hunters aren't nerfed... Bladedancer needs to be reworked. Currently it's the worst class for high level PvE. Arc Blade is just a suicide button when Lightswitch modifier is active. Hell even if that modifier isn't active it still sucks
Honestly cant understand the hate for bladedancer when golden guns are insta-killing half your team from across the map but I wont complain I guess
Lol I can almost always get a triple kill with golden gun, no matter where I am on the map. I love it.

That blade super move thing is the dumbest shit ever.

It is very overpowered when you die, self-res and proceed to wipe the team that killed you. Can't turn your back on a Sunsinger after a kill any more.
It's showing the top 100 players (tracked by DestinyDB) in the crucible and what class they are.
Pretty big difference between 26 and 27 and 28. It's possible on 26 but easier with 27s and 28s.
I hit a bladedancer with a fusion grenade last night. Even that and an Invective shot disn't drop them.

Anyone else feel like oprah wihen usings radiance and spamming grenades?
You get a grenade, you get a grenade, and everybody get a grenade!
hmm, we're you traited for increased burn damage and duration? I know I've killed them before with a sticky, tho tbh I die like 75% of the time to them regardless cause they usually get the drop on me from behind

Interesting so the same gun can have different upgrades. I don't have the Radar perk.

So basically the majority is running the first subclass you can unlock. That certainly isn't reflective of higher level players.
It is if you're preventing that bladedancer from getting 3-4 kills.
It starts at ~30% for being 1 level below, then goes up by ~10% each level after that. That penalty is then modified by your weapon's Attack. I'm not really sure what the conversion is on Attack when you're below damage cap.
The thing here is Sunsingers don't have OHKOs save for fusion grenades.
Gunslingers just have to shoot a gun like they've been doing the whole game.
Bladedancers just R1/R2 anywhere to kill.
My guess is that its the people with the highest combat rating.
Strategy isn't my main concern. I prioritize FUN when playing a video game. Still, I disagree on the grounds that Bladedancer's super will more often than not net more kills than any other subclass' super, so taking one out as soon as possible is advantageous for your team.
With that said, I do consistently well in Crucible anyway and often place first when I'm not testing new equipment or going after a bounty that's counterintuitive to my playstyle.
Lmao. I geninuely think this when spamming stickies.

What's the best helium filament gathering area?
I need like, hundreds
The first area. Start at the base to the left, then head all the way over to the encampment where you first got the Pike in the first Moon story mission, then up the hill to that encampment with the little dome building, and when you continue down the hill back to the first base you started, the area will be reset and you can repeat. I tend to move on to other areas though since the chests are what you really want to be grabbing and they will not respawn until you drop back down from orbit.
Are you talking about that dude I played with you and he was in your party? He's a Gunslinger right?
That guy had Golden Gun on constantly.

Interesting that there aren't more Bladedancers since it seems like I'm constantly being killed by them in close quarters maps.
Is there a significant downside to the armor in that class? Because when the Bladedancer is going it seems like the most OP'd ability in the game.

That rarely happens to me. Players rarely use their supers when I'm in Arc Blade. The popular strategy seems to be jumping in the air, but I have adjusted to that.

Yes.
It's the Top Rating players, not the number of players per class, showed in another stat (Hunter 36%, Warlock 34%, Titan 30%).

This is why I always jump at the bounty to kill 25 Hunters in the Crucible.
It's easy money. It can often be completed in a single match or, at most, two.

Yeah, I've got both my Titan builds maxed out, just need a helmet I can equip whenever I'm rocking my Defender. My current setup is optimized for Striker.
My man! Putting a shield down on a control point and punching 5-6 people to death is a great feeling.

Thorn is one of the best, if not the best handcannon in PvP atm. And it will get a buff according to Bungie so there's no reason not to get it. Totally worth it imo. And the challenge is fun with a couple of friends.
That's not how chests work. There will always be a set amount of chests active in an area. If you find one, it will spawn somewhere else. Not immediately, but it doesn't take long at all. There usually seem to be two chests per "area", the trick is finding what they outlined as an area.
So, if you just cannot find a chest, the reason is you don't know all the spawn points. There are a *lot* of spawn points.
That weapon is idiotic, it shouldn't be allowed for PVP, at least it should be nerfed when used in PVP.
How is it better than the hawkmoon? I don't find the hawkmoon very useful in PVP, although it's great fun to use. I hope these changes make other weapons more viable in PVP.

Low level players. I rarely see Gunslingers in Crucible. Sunsingers are more common among high level Warlocks as well.

Titans are excellent for PvE but come up short in PvP. I'm a Titan and that's what I have felt. My subclasses are setup great for PvE stuff but in team play outside of Control, I'm forced to just play smart 100% of the time. Especially since im speced for heavy Melee regen and Melee is a last resort in PVP.

Hmm, I just saw a lot of people saying it was kind of 'meh' and there were better legendary hand cannons out there.
The best we did on that last challenge was getting that Xyor guy to appear but barely put a dent in him before we all bit it. So frustrating.

I would say the same for Titans, but no one uses them!
This is still the best kill I ever made in this game.
This is amazing! Love the Tiger Knee!
I wish I was better at using it.
