Iron Banner Grind (Destiny)

by TheeChaos @, Tuesday, June 30, 2015, 10:28 (3222 days ago)

Will probably jump into the Iron Banner until I hit rank 5. Looking to get a timurs lash primarily. So if youre on and want to run hit me up!

I've got crap to do this week. I hope all your non field scout guns are worth it!

7 round Timur's Lash seems to be best with LITC and Final round.

I have alot I could do this week. But i genuinely enjoy Iron Banner. Plus the etheric light will be nice. Couldnt afford it last round.

I'd rather have my Timur's Lash with field scout and clown cartridge. 16 rounds! More of a PvE gun, but it's rad.

Ehh 16 is nice, but I have the reactive reload and outlaw (and field scout). Reload fast and get 2 shots kill after a kill. It's a decent PvP version

I live 10 minutes away from work. It was nice to pick up some more etheric light during lunch since I won't have a lot of time to play this weekend. I finally got my Found Verdict to 365.

Probably because it's harder to exploit at that time.

by Funkmon @, Tuesday, June 30, 2015, 16:22 (3221 days ago) @ Schedonnardus

Just due to time zones. I bet most players they have are in NA. Maybe also to fix bugs quick.

Silimar's Wrath focused fire mb, according to Red Robber

by Funkmon @, Tuesday, June 30, 2015, 16:13 (3221 days ago) @ ProbablyLast

Supposedly it is similar to a LFR auto rifle, but a 40 round mag.

Pest Control blows, use this instead.

Check the rifle equipped on my Titan.

With FF, you have a gun that has impact and RoF somewhere between Pest Control and Suros w/FF. Extended mag gives you 52 rounds, and it has stability that allows for non stop shooting. No burst fire needed to control your aim. I added range finder to give me a little extra since the default range is kinda meh.

I don't really know how well it does in PvP, because most FF autos seem to do worse. So I've never used it there. But it's pretty swell in PvE.

Focused Fire reduces Burst DPS

by someotherguy, Hertfordshire, England, Wednesday, July 01, 2015, 08:40 (3221 days ago) @ Funkmon

I still need to test whether the "larger" magazine size makes up for it in terms of sustained DpS, but for burst DpS (PvP mostly) Focused Fire is a pretty bad choice.

Pretty much worse for both.

by Funkmon @, Wednesday, July 01, 2015, 08:49 (3221 days ago) @ someotherguy

Good perk for PVE only. I prioritize all my rolls for PVE except very specific guns.

I wasn't able to get home for the glitch this time, but as I understand it your rank doesn't "actually" reset until you log into that character. Soooo... does the Exp buff remain if I log into one character (resetting ITS rank), but leaving my alts alone (preserving their rank)?

When leveling up my Warlock during the last Iron Banner, I did not receive the alternate character buff. Even with my Hunter still listed at rank 5 (didn't log in with that awful character until Saturday).

Good to know. Wonder if there was any consideration for the fact that the alt-buff didn't exist on the previous IB your Hunter was ranked up on... Prolly not, just thinking out loud....

Either way, getting to R3 isn't too bad, and then getting Alts up to 3 with the buff is also not terrible.

Yeah, easy enough to try. Especially since I have one alt just below rank 3, so I'm not really losing much logging in to that one. I'll try it tonight and report back!

As much as I can, anyways. I'm hoping for the friend whose home I've stashed my 360 at to be charitable, I suppose.

Also, I'll confess to a blasphemy: I'll be using MIDA Multi-Tool, instead of one of my general peashooters.

But once I get to Rank Three... Doctor Nope will be top-tier again. Hah. Ahah. HAHAH!

It'll be nice.

Not sure

by ChrisTheeCrappy, Tuesday, June 30, 2015, 12:20 (3221 days ago) @ TheeChaos

Maybe 1 character for me, if the Pulse Rifle is worth it. Not that I don't need Etheric Light, but I got all 6 last time and haven't used most of them yet. I guess I should get a few.

Old rolls.

by Funkmon @, Tuesday, June 30, 2015, 16:25 (3221 days ago) @ Schedonnardus

Go for Crowd Control+Outlaw, IMO. Clown Cartridge is also good. So's Feeding Frenzy + Outlaw. As long as the middle is field scout.

What funkmon said. Although mine has reactive reload (33% damage increase vs 15%, but I have to reload to get it), but it's a 2 BODY shot kill (which I never aim for anyways), so I just stack kills on kills. One time got 4 people in quick succession, didn't record it, cause i am dumb.

Are you sure? Timur's isn't a 2-shot precision kill, and that's 150% damage. RR would definitely make it a double headshot kill though.
