This week I'm going to try to buy some Iron Banner stuff on Xbone, which means I'm actually going to try to rank up.

Here's my loadout:

Thorn (aggressive ballistics, send it)
Found Verdict (field choke, sent it)
Corrective Measure (field choke, field scout)

Voidwalker (axion bolt, blink, lance, life steal, arcane spirit, angry magic, divine order, embrace the void)

For armor I'm choosing Obsidian Mind and the Crota Raid armor. I don't have a lot of choices that get me to 32, which is one reason I want to buy IB stuff!

Any thoughts?

Just remember that Crota's armor, while giving you more defense, isn't necessarily better if you have other armor that synergizes better with handcannons/shotguns. The special loader is handy on the gloves, for instance, but you won't have as much shotgun ammo, so if you have handcannon loader gloves, they'd probably be better because you'll use the Thorn more and should maximize its efficacy. Also, use soul rip! It's a more useful melee with Embrace the Void imo.

Well. Remember that once House of Wolves comes out your armor options are really going to open up. I'm looking forward to the much more diverse look Destiny is going to take on in the weeks and months afterward. As for your Warlock, I've never gotten the hang of Lance and still don't really understand what Angry Magic actually does even after having smart people describe it for me. I prefer the vortex enhancing perks because it lets a Nova Bomb bake people hiding under a Ward of Dawn.

Overall though, I dislike the Voidwalker in Crucible play. I'm not a fan of the vortex grenade, the splitting grenade is one of the few grenades I don't fear as it never seems to hit anyone, and while the Axion Bolts are distracting and good for Post Mortem kills I find they're often too slow to let you win a battle. Your guns are, of course, going to be great though. :)

For myself I'm doing my traditional Sunsinger build mainly because I use exotic helmets on my Titan and Hunter. I don't have the exact perk list in front of me but I'll be running with the Firebolt grenades which I like for their hit speed (compared to Axion Bolts) and ability to hit around corners. I almost always use Radiant Skin instead of the revive perk. Self-reviving is great but I like the way the increased toughness lets you shoot a gun a little then kill him with a grenade then shoot the next gun and grenade over and over without much fear of being killed.

I'll be specing to max Armor and then Recovery and then it's kinda a toss up as to which option I'll use in the final column.I like Firebolt grenades with the extra burning options because I regularly get kills that I wouldn't have gotten otherwise, but then I like hovering with Angle of Light in certain situations, but then I like having two grenades because it helps ensure you are always generating another grenade during Radiance instead of the recharge topping out when you are shooting someone.

For guns I'll probably run with my usual loadout of Up For Anything (featuring Third Eye), Murmur in Solar mode (to stick with my fire theme) and Super Good Advice. If for some reason I'm not feeling Up For Anything I now have a second Three Little Words that I'm leveling.

I'm being dumb and planning on no lifeing it this week due to the IB Helmet.

Hunter:
Achlyophage Symbiote + Raid Gear

Warlock:
Obsidian Mind + Raid Gear
Or
Voidfang Vestments + Raid Gear

Titan:
random gear to get me to 31 + exotic helm depending on playing striker or defender

Weapons (Shared)
Thorn
TLW
Red Death

Found Verdict
Felwinter's Lie (Rangefinder, Hammer Forged)
Efrideet's Spear (Spray & Play, Armor Piercing, Final Round)

Jolder's Hammer (Counter Balance, Field Scout, Crowd Control)
Radegast's Fury (Spray & Play, Field Scout, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades)

If it's your only helmet, no problem, but skull or the Crota one (with voidfang) are better choices for me, but you'll need to modify your setup with skull.

But I'm bad at the game, so don't listen to me.

Great loadout as far as weapons go.

In terms of armor, I agree with what others are saying: Obsidian mind is decent, but maybe not the most effective choice.

Do you have the Voidfang Vestments exotic chest piece? It's fantastic for a Voidwalker in the crucible. It improves your Axion Bolt grenades (adds an extra bolt, improves the tracking and speed of all bolts), plus it gives you a full grenade charge every time you respawn. For someone like me (I play really aggressively; lots of kills and deaths), the grenade on respawn makes a huge difference.

Yeah, if you're going void walker and using axion bolt, why would you not use Voidfang Vestaments?! Even if it doesn't get you to 32, level matters pretty little from 29-32.

I'm relieved that I don't have to be a 32--that opens things up a bit. I could use Void Vestments, but what I discovered is that unfortunately, the rest of legendary armor seems devoid (so to speak, heh) of Intelligence points. I don't know how that happened, but it's true. I still can be a grenade monster, though.

I wish I hadn't chosen Sunsinger as my first ever subclass because it taught me to save my super for revives and I'm not as aggressive with it offensively as I should be, but I'm trying to work on that.

I used to always pair Invective with Devil You Know, but I've changed since acquiring so many good exotic primaries (Thorn, Red Death, TLW). It was really great to never have to worry about secondary ammo... and that was in the old days. I'm thinking that I might bring it out of the vault with my TFWPKY. Anyone else using Invective lately?
