I don't want to play with people who can't stay alive and hold their own in the raid .
The new hard raid isn't about dps , it's all about being able to maintain a routine and help one another stay alive to deliver the final blow to crota .
The ghallahorn is good for shields but the red death is great for staying alive .
Edit : can't believe this post has more then 100 comments
Edit 2: can't believe this has more then 500 comments now . I've beat the raid , and I've used both weapons but, I find red death more useful due to health regen perk . Hunger of crota is a great sub . You don't need ghallahorn .
Edit 3 :
More than 1000 comments !! That's crazy .
Edit 4: beat crota 8x in 2 weeks

2 RepliesI need red death!!

3 RepliesWhat about regime? Does it offer health regeneration as well, or is the red death still better?
-
Regenerate health by picking up orbs like a normal person
-
i get your point. but me and my team all have helmets that regenerate health with orb pickups. works great :)
-
1 ReplyOut of curiosity does Suros work just as well? Or is red death king of health regen?
-
3 RepliesSuros is better. You need a kill with Red Death to recharge health; good luck getting that with all the damn bullet sponges.
-
Wouldn't be needed if Crota hard mode wasn't completely artificial difficulty. I'll be back to play it again next Tuesday anyway, though. xD
-
I use suros for the beginning because I haven't upgraded my red death yet. But after the initial fight with the acolytes and knights I switch to word of Crota and use ice breaker to snipe Knights.
-
3 RepliesElaborate plz? Ghorn is useful because it annihilates the shields of crota, the ogres or sword bearer if you are in a time crunch. Any decent team will be able to stay alive with the chalice. My hungering blade health regen does not work with presence of crota (I use razors edge to great effect) not to mention that even if red deaths perk does work you have 1/6 chance on each enemy to trigger it.
-
Suros can do the same but it's a 50/50 thing not guaranteed health back

Edited by IHaveNoNameI: 1/27/2015 1:04:40 AMHaving a red death is useful,but I prefer the damage output of a ghorn or ice breaker. Crota Hard mode is all about helping eachother staying alive. theres enough methods for regaining health in crota fights. Titans: bubble with blessing of light and mellee warlock: energy drain perks hunter: hungering blades and crota raid helmet and other exotic helmet with infusion perk also helps alot. if u have any of those helmet with infusion perk and the abilities in ur skill tree, red death is just a luxury, not necesarry
-
Red death is not mandatory at all in this raid but if it's your only health regen somehow then roll with it but better have a beast sniper and rocket launcher
-
Edited by VASHTA NER4DA: 1/27/2015 1:02:43 AMusually works like this: Hey guys got to go kill a thrall real quick, 2 seconds later... guardian down. " Damnit Boomer got me." Armor with healing perks are always going to be better. I have red death, have had it since around week 2 and Hate the thing. I got a new one from the chest in the abyss before patch...it sits un touched. Gjallarhorn owns my exotic slot at crota.
-
No.... Just no. Red Death is a waste of an exotic spot in HM Crota. An exotic spot that could be home to an Icebreaker or Rocket launcher. My bladedancer has perks for healing, and my armor heals me when I pick up orbs.
-
That's what judicious use of supers and wearing armor that regens health when you pick up orbs are for.

1 ReplyScrew you guys. "Y'ALL LAUGHED AT ME. Y'AAAAALL LAUGHED AT ME. WELL, WHO'S LAUGHING NOW?" I've had this thing practically since day one, and said it was amazing. Now one little gimmick, and everyone pulls it out the vault. Use it in Crucible. Do it or shut up.

7 RepliesWho needs Red Death? Apotheosis Veil ftw. Regen health with orbs and activating super charge! Woot!

I've beat the raid 2x so worth it

2 RepliesLol i have no red death and i stay alive more than people that do lol

1 ReplyEdited by Sheisty83: 1/26/2015 2:04:54 PMRed Death is the best raiding weapon in game. I got it this week in VOG exotic chest thing is a Beast helps out alot in new Raid for Crota on Hard. The healing perk is real nice and cheap one kill fills up your life completely.
