Is anyone at Light Level 170, and does it feel different than being a maxed 34 pre-update?
I have a 170 Warlock. I ran Normal Crota this morning with a group, and just spent five hours in Skolas. Both seemed much more difficult than they would have pre-update. Part of it is definitely the Hand Cannon range reduction. I previously used an ascended Fatebringer and Found Verdict for Skolas. It was perfect, because I like having the shotgun for Captains in the hidey-hole. Well, now Fatebringer doesn't have enough range to take out the adds across the map effectively, so it's pretty tough.
The only real difference I felt for Crota was the Swordbearers felt like they were taking a lot less damage, and dealing much more damage than normal. Again, this was at Light Level 170.
Just curious what it felt like to other folks.
And Lawnmower and Phoenix, sorry we couldn't get Skolas done tonight. Rookie mistake on my part for not being stocked up on Heavy Ammo synths. I'm positive we would have finished if I wasn't scrounging for ammo the entire time. We just couldn't burn him before second round of mines because of it, I think. I'll be prepared next time!
170?

How did you get to 170? I have 170 armors, weapons, and a ghost shell, but I'm still only 169.

You have to equip the 180 rare class item you get from the Vanguard Questline

When and how did you get a 180 light class item? I got 210 light ones for completing the subclass quest lines, but those have a required level of 40.
I have found the drops to be random in light levels. Maybe I'm not paying attention close enough to detect a pattern.

You can get some class items that are 170. For instance, the class item from PoE is light 170, but only if you get it post patch. The current one is 3 light!
The Warlock Class item you get from Ikora is 180.

Are you talking about the blues you get for hitting level 30? None of the blue items I got were 180 light. They were 140 or so.

Was that from completing your Warlock subclass questline, or from something else?

It popped up after completing the Voidwalker subclass line. I also got the 220 bond which can not be equipped until level 40.

Interesting. I did get a 160 cloak while doing some of the old quests, but I didn't see anything higher.

Shotguns also took a huge PVE nerf, too, so that weapon combo is probably really suboptimal now.
