Word to the wise: DON'T waste your time with Cabal strikes this week.

[i]EDIT: The fact that I'm talking about HEROIC strikes should be abundantly clear, given the fact that i make approximaty 500,000 references to SOLAR damage and none to void.[/i] Title. Want to know why? Because literally -blam!-ing EVERYTHING does insane amounts of solar burn damage. Psions? Have fun getting killed in .000004 seconds by the 500 of them that are now "teabagging" your ghost. Legionaries? I hope you weren't comfortable behind that wall, 'cuz we've got splash damage! Phalanxes? If you somehow survive the solar artillery, you're just going to get killed by the physics bullshit that [u]still[/u] hasn't been fixed despite being present for [i]2 years.[/i] Centurions? We heard you like splash damage, so we added some more solar splash damage to the already splashy solar damage! Valus Mau'ual? Hah, cute solar burn you've got there. It would be a shame if this was a big circular room with literally nothing to hide behind... Valus Tu'aurc? Now comes with 200% more Rockets and 300% more McDickface, free of charge. But wait, there's more! Call now and we'll add chaff to your order, meaning you'll be under deadly solar assault from all directions, completely unaware of where the -blam!- you're getting shot from! [b]"Whether we wanted it or not, we-"[/b] Nooooope. [i]Pause > Options > Change character[/i] [b]Xenn2423[/b] has departed /Endrant [i]Edit 2: Maybe strikes other than shield brothers won't be so bad. After spending literally 30 minutes in the Shield Brothers boss room with two incompetent -blam!-s that don't grasp the concept of SOLAR burn, I just left and couldn't be bothered starting a new strike. I used Celestial Nighthawk and Raze Ligter. I had a solar sidearm (no other legendary solar specials, due to RNG always dropping void gear for me). My teammates? A striker (he did practically nothing) and a nightstalker (only helpful for the ONE time he used shadowshot, which was on adds in the Tank fight.) NONE of them had a single source of solar damage equipped. Needless to say, after the umpteenth wipe caused by the 15,000 solar damage Psion Burners they [u]didn't[/u] help kill, I gave up on them. I only threw in that part about the Valus strike intro because it's the one most people will recognize on sight.[/i] Edit 2: Those comparing it to Y1 Arc Burn Omnigul nightfall can stop. For two reasons: One, that week was easy as shit. There are plenty of safe spots to chill and cheese the boss. Arc Omnigul was my first nightfall, and we only wiped once in the boss room. (Restarting was annoying, but meh.)Plus, Atc primaries were a thing (not that I had any at the time, I didn't raud 'till HoW). Two, Y1 nightfalls actually gave [i]loot[/i]. They were [i]worth[/i] the challenge. Heroic strikes don't, and so they aren't. Plain and simple.

    • I HATE that strike.....its like the most common strike in a so called "random" playlist together with them cabal brothers on the dreadnaught.......[i][b]-wether we wanted it or not-[/b][/i].....Bungie uses our money to give us recycled garbarge....[i][b]- so lets get to taking out their command, one by one-[/b][/i]......i mean less cabal more randomness would be appreciated..... [i][b]-Funny story: Remember that Centurion Oryx took right after you landed on the Dreadnaught-?[/b][/i][quote]go kill his 2 officers again and again and again....and again....[/quote]

    • Are people actually struggling? My buddy and I joined some random guy at the bosses on Shield Brothers and he was waiting patiently by the core until we spawned. We downed both boss in 5 minutes or less. Go to the reward screen and the poor bastard clocked up 1 hour for a strike that takes approx. 7-10 minutes to complete. Plenty of ways to cheese Shield Brothers for those who have to resort to it... Crazy I know, as the whole encounter was designed to be cheese proof!

    • There are.so many stupid people in stikes man. I tried to do a heroic stoke the other day, it was the echo chamber, I did everything up to that point becuase when the other idots tried they just sat there and let the vandals wail on them. And when we got to the boss fight, they seemed to have forgotten what it means to damage a boss. You know how the latest you usually kill the boss is after he goes into the middle? Well the boss went into the middle and eight turns later he died. It took so long because like I said, the other -blam!- barely shot the boss. At least I got two exotic from it.

      • Pretty sure that was my hunter in there with you last night. My only excuse is, unlike everyone that complains about people being ill-equipped, I'm not 330 & upwards with a vast selection of gear to swap between as the circumstances require. So far as I've ever played, heroic strikes have never punished me SO severely for lacking specific gear to defend against specific damage. I read the modifiers, but I've never played a heroic since I was way under 300 that was so utterly insane for splash damage. I don't remember specifically, but maybe I've never played Shield Brothers with these particular modifiers. Apologies for being crap, but last night came as a huge wake up call for how much damage certain strike/modifier combos can put out - I'll admit to being carried at certain times, but I've never been so utterly spanked in a strike as that one last night while being anywhere above 300. And once I'm in a strike, I never bail on the team until I'm sure I'm doing more damage staying 😇

      • Last weeks modifiers were fun. Telesto owned everything. It made doing strikes enjoyable why? Because I felt powerful. I wish Bungie would realize that feeling powerful is fun.

      • Any Y1 Guardian will laugh at Solar burn Valus Tu'aurc. Even without our trusty Gjallarhorns, Icebreakers, Visions and Black Hammers. We took him down before we'll do it again.

        • Just remember, leave before the match starts. If we land in the strike and i see "name has departed" you will get a report for quit early. Dont join the playlist if youre just gonna leave if its a certain strike
