Yesterday I finally hit 50 raid completions and unlocked the raid Grimoire card. My team and I know each other's play style, strengths, weaknesses and overall positions pretty well. I would say we have got it down to a science. I live streamed a run yesterday on Hard, took us about 45 mins with only one wipe at the Gorgon's. I am not making this thread to show off (maybe a little); I am really looking to help anyone who has any questions about the raid I might be able to answer!
Feel free to ask any questions about specific strategies, positions, etc.
PS: I know a lot of people are going to try to rip into about, "bro, get some sun", "you got a life, brah?". I am currently typing this message from my desk with a window view onto Market Square. Not ashamed, I allocate my free time to this game, I really enjoy it. "Show off much, brah?" No not really, I would like to share my knowledge with anyone who will listen. After leveling some gear today, I will finally have a level 30 Warlock, Hunter and Titan.
For any doubters or anyone who is curious about how we get through the raid, I invite everyone to check out my (and my team's) twitch feed. I only Twitch raids and such, but i would not mind broadcasting more. Please follow at twitch.tv/dan3gerou5
Here is a link to the Grimoire Card. It's nothing special, you all have it under Activities/Raids/Intro to Raid.

Ready, Set, Go!
EDIT: I see how the word "full" could have been misleading and how it could open my post to criticism. Therefore the word "full" has been removed. I do not feel like you have revealed any secret, nor do I feel guilty about posting this. Low kills in Raid can be attributed to Atheon being pushed a few times. That being said, we only have been running the raid on hard since pre Atheon patch. Every week we get to the Oracles, then distribute the checkpoint amongst all of us. All the raids we do from then on are Oracles on. This is a means to an end... GEAR! I do not feel cheap or guilty because I have gotten through the VoG on hard through and through several times. I have nothing to prove to myself, we've done it! I have nothing to hide and invite you guys to add me in game or follow me on twitch, thanks!

I know this is an old thread but Market Square where? I'd imagine that generic name is used a lot the world over. There is one in my town. I'm just curious.
-
Just wanted to let everyone know... I FINALLY GOT THE REVENANT SHADER at lvl 16. First Dead Orbit shader I've got, took 16 levels I was getting worried lol.
-
Your 50 are cute.
-
Why do you feel important?
-
Have you got the flawless raider achievement yet?
-
It's not everyday complete a raid... :(
-
You said a level 30 Hunter Warlock, Titan and Hunter but your profile says you have a Hunter and two Warlocks😂
-
Got it too. Am I the only one who thinks that Grimore score means nothing?
-
Have you done flawless?
-
Edited by iTz Wraith: 1/17/2015 8:14:38 PMI wanna know if you do the raid more than once a week will it contribute to your raid grimoire score even though you don't get rewards?
-
I need 15 more. Still got a better grimoire though ;)

Any serious tips on how to do the gatekeeper part on hard mode with only 2 lvl 30s ? (RNJesus hates us, I need feet on all my characters) We normally kill the Gatekeeper and go left portal first, which is usually easy. But then right portal + middle conflux all hell breaks loose, we've gotten many times now but it always feels like we always barely get it done.... any easy tips for doing defending that right portal as well as the middle while the 2nd relic comes out?
-
Can a decent group of 29s get through hard?
-
What are guys doing calling each other BRAS?
-
I was tired of it before I reached 20.
-
What does the card say?
-
dont you get bored?
-
Grats bro, our group does the same with the cp's. However, if we are running hard with new ppl (new to our strats), we do fresh start. We find that the front door and conflux fights are good indicators of how not-dumb someone is. Just got the fabled boots for my warlock to hit 30 last night. 2 down, now just need to finish out my Kabr. #raidrats #aetheontooeasy
-
The raid has never been hard to complete, even on hard mode.
-
I would like some advice on hard mode. My group is all level 29s and we beat the normal mode in 45 mins like u do on hard. Mayter of fact we beat normal with 4 people in 1.5 hours. However on Hard mode it seems like were lacking something when we get to the 3rd conflux phase we get overrun on the left. What are your thoughts?

Edited by Fluffybunnies: 11/13/2014 5:03:09 PMDont look at my raid completions, i have a life. (155 full hards) (31 full normals). Although im happy to say me and 5 others beat bungies flawless raid challenges that are added in while attempting. It was a close one though. Killing him with no times vengeance and the invisible supplicants that will spawn if you take too long (prior to the enrage)
-
Does a non-reward run through count for the grimoire card?
-
I'm a 29 that needs a team for the hard raid but every time I try with other 29's we get smashed. What should I do?
-
I hit 50 last week and was hoping for more than 5 grimoire score lol
-
Nice job. I'm on my 5th or 6th lol. Was too intimidated to go in early but I've got the hang of things now, at least on normal I do.
