345 really is enough (Destiny)

340 is as far as you can get without grinding.

I guess Xur's loot, Faction weapons, Vanguard Ghosts, and Speaker class items just magically don't work on you. *shrug*
Remember that you can easily be above 350 after just finishing the story and side quests (more so if you buy some loot).
Plus, you're the only one whining about 340 Light. I didn't say that you can do the raid with 340s on the team (though honestly, you totally can, since the entire raid has been beaten by a team of three). To say that you can't get higher than 340 without grinding is dumb (do you count playing the game at all as grinding?)

340 cannot damage 380 enemies.

Who said they can? This is irrelevant and dumb.

Therefore, you cannot complete the raid without grinding. It's very simple. That is the argument.

You seem to forget that you get higher-light rewards at each step of the raid. No grinding required! Unless you're willfully pushing through without equipping or infusing any gear, in which case, you only have yourself to blame. Your argument is dumb.

Your statement about beating it with Sammy as a 355 means nothing if everyone else was in the 370s or high 360s. This is definitely a raid where you can cover for weaker players. Beat the raid with a full group of 355s and then I will believe you when you say that's doable. I don't feel like my light level is a problem at 368, but I had to grind to get there.

It was pretty much the same team that we had the first time through (remember that we had two below 355), not really much light-level difference other than what we gained from our first completion (which according to some folks in your group, is a bit out of reach). Your assumptions are dumb.
