I finally did it.. (Destiny)
I reached 310!!! And completed my first kings fall raid!
Needless to say I was carried pretty much through the whole raid, which I am most thankful for. The guys I was with were very patient and helpful.
I managed to get to 309 with SRL, trials and IB until now, which I'm told was pretty good.
So, I finished the raid (and challenge mode Oryx apparently) with some new shiny boots, the raid HC, SR and PR, artifact & the ToM quest, just gotta farm those flakes again now.
Not bad :)
Definitely looking forward to doing this more and maybe trying the hard mode ! :D
Now I only know the challenge mode method for Oryx which seems to be easier than the regular method (from vids on YT)
Long live the king!
Congrats!

Sounds rough.
It really does take a metric butt ton of effort to get over 300 without doing the raid, though. Of course, you have to do the raid a bunch of times to get it past 300 as well.
What did you think of the raid?
Sounds rough.
It was fun! I loved doing VoG and Crota before and the new mechanics of this raid was a really nice change of pace from my usual crucible gameplay.
Because I had watched countless YT videos I kinda new all of the encounters and roughly what to do in them, it was just putting it practice.
We did cheese Galgoroth though, which I'm totally fine with.
It wasn't as rough as you'd think getting to 309 without raiding because I got some great rolls on IB and trials gear so I was a nice light level going into the normal raid. Plus I was with 313-317's.
I would of loved the experience of doing this blind with a new group and figuring everything out but with my time limitations on game play I know this is just simply not possible. I will do hard mode eventually, hopefully tonight but I will need carrying though it mostly haha
