Awesome Haul Last Night! (Destiny)

by Morpheus @, High Charity, Tuesday, April 19, 2016, 13:09 (3234 days ago)

I had an Oryx checkpoint saved up from earlier this week, and found some LFG'ers to do it with. It took quite a while to form a rhythm and convince half the members there that we were performing on Normal, NOT Hard...but in the end, it was worth it--at least in my case. I got what I'm pretty sure is the most items I've received in an Oryx drop! I got a 317 4th Horseman(dude!), 317 Darkhollow Treads, a 310 Thrallskin Drum, and best of all--Zaouli's Bane! A gun with Firefly and Cocoon can only spell complete happiness. I tried it a bit this morning, and after I watched the lethality of it and that reload?! I definitely made some Disapproved Destiny Noises©.

I cannot wait to fully upgrade that bad boy.

The PS4 CoE farming session was very productive as well.

Got a 335 Class Item, two 334 ghosts, four(!) Lord of wolves (one of which was 335), and a bunch of exotic engrams.

Not sure how many times we ran through it. Our fastest time was around 5:30.

Anyway, I'm 334 now :D

You'd think just "grinding" the same content over & over would be boring & dull, but it wasn't. I suspect this was because we had more than one group in the same party chat & we got to compare/race. Reminds me of the Nightfall 'racing' we would do back in Y1. I also think it was because it wasn't terribly difficult, Beer-and-pretzels Destiny if you will.

TONS of adds spawn making it all much sweeter. Btw, running a Defender and a Nightstalker feels like cheating. So. Much. Damage.

Should precision/small arms ever come up again, the Blessing Bubble + Touch of Malice strategy from Oryx can burn down the Servitor in seconds (before his first teleport).

Yeah, I tried that. Worked pretty well, but for me I found it better to just stick w/ my Hung Jury. On my last run w/ Marmott & Slycrel we were able to burn him down before the first teleport w/o Touch of Malice (unless Slycrel was secretly using it).

I liked to use Explain, too--but I had to be really careful around the Scarab Servitor. 311 vs. 330? Ain't happenin'.

I had to measure myself pretty carefully, and attack from the side.

Nope, using last extremity or hand of judgement scout rifle.

I've got perfect balance, snapshot, and firefly going on mine. It's fantastic. =)

I was loving Triple Tap on my 326 Hung Jury with Extended Mag. When DSPing the boss I felt like I would go ages without reloading. Seemed like I always had a +1 by my ammo counter. Seems like I would do about 4000 dmg per crit against the bosses. (the last boss required wepons of light for that much damage tho').

I don't get you hung jury lovers. I was doing ~6800 damage with WoL with my high impact scouts on that last boss. It was almost like having a primary sniper rifle.

I wonder how DPS goes when comparing both types

DpS is fairly similar IIRC

So whichever can keep firing the longest should win. Relative Magazine Size > Reload Time > Everything Else

5500 per shot + 27 shots before reload + Faster ROF

I was rocking Her Mercy, which is a slow firing Auto Rifle, and it was doing a nice 1k per bullet.

It was surprisingly fun too!

Yep, beer and pretzels. That's totally the reason we wiped a couple times...

Well, after the first couple runs it felt much more beer & pretzels...
