A very glaring problem with the new raid.
I have the spindle and 1000 yard stare before you talk me down but..
This raid needs a high-impact sniper to get it done quickly.
[u]Warpriest[/u]: immobile with a huge crit spot and too far away to get close and damage
[u]Golgoroth[/u]: immobile with a huge crit spot and too far for shotguns to not have damage fall-off
[u]Daughters[/u]: immobile with huge crit spot and too far for other guns
[u]Oryx[/u]: almost immobile (predicable movement) non-crit spot, but too far for other weapons except pulses/scouts to do work
[u]Fusion rifles[/u]: only precision modifiers on non-majors, still not very good DPS wise
[u]Shotguns[/u]: should at least be more viable on golgoroth..a dude who is right in front of you.
[u]Sidearms[/u]: lol
[u]Machine guns[/u]: not only does it use heavy ammo, but snipers still have more dps
[u]Rocket launchers[/u]: unlike say atheon with a tiny crit spot, the crit spots are too big and immobile on these bosses to pass up for way more damage on easy-crit guns than a rocket launcher will put out
[b][u]TL;DR[/u][/b]
This raid made snipers way too good compared to the others and there is no weapon variety

2 RepliesYeah, this is nothing new. Snipers have been more or less a necessity in all of the raids. Not quite sure if you could (or should) build a raid where sniper rifles and rocket launchers are not valid in beating a boss. How tough would a boss be if you could get close enough where fusion rifles, shotguns, machine guns and swords become safe to use effectively? Also, primary weapons should never be a first choice when facing a raid boss. Sniper rifles are a solid tactical choice for difficult opponents and I don't see much wrong with that.

5 RepliesHere is a tip for anyone attempting the Raid without a refunding magazine gun: Set up your armor to help you carry more ammo and reload faster. Since many sections are instances of timed dps...damage dealing rapidly is a must in several areas.

Sniper Rifles rifles are awesome and I love that the new raid promotes their use.
-
2 RepliesThe sad thing about this is that they won't fix the encounters going forward, they'll just nerf sniper rifles across the board.
-
2 RepliesWhen there is only one viable method to defeat bosses, it's poor design.
-
And now we know why they nerfed black hammer and Icebreaker.

1 ReplyBungie did not make Destiny for the ppl who bought it. Bungie made destiny for 80,000 ppl out of around 13 million. get it.

5 RepliesForget guns. What pisses me off about this raid is the damn jumping! They went way overboard with the jumping puzzles. First before the raid getting calcified fragments, jumping puzzle, jumping puzzle. Then in the raid ship jumping puzzle, after Ogre jumping puzzle, to get exotic chest- jumping puzzle, to get to daughters more jumping, during daughters jumping puzzle, during Oryx dedicated person to -blam!-ing jumping puzzle! This is a shooting game. If I wanna -blam!-ing jump a lot I'll play -blam!-ing Mario Brothers. Shit, a little jumping I can take but to literally have to jump through puzzles where someone always falls or becomes a pinball is a serious annoyance. Hardest part of the daughters is making sure everyone in the raid is able to do the damn jumping puzzle right while their screen is monochrome. [b]It's not hard, it's irritating.[/b] Oh, and don't get me started on "run around in a circle till you are nice and dizzy. Why? Cause -blam!- you thats why". Next time less jumping more shooting!

Errrrrr....... VoG raid: Snipers and Ghorn until oracles then Snipers/MG Crota's End raid: Rockets and a sword. Snipers on normal for boomers. How is this news to you?
-
Just beat the raid myself using the hereafter for only Golgoroth's glare, Deathsinger's and the Taken Ogre's...so not really...
-
9 RepliesSorry this isn't crota. If a boss were to move evey were ( like crota ). It would make the raid 10x hater... This raid is ment for team work just like vog. The thing is finding the right team and also have the right gear and comunication. If you have that then your fine can't wait for you to see hard mode (Or heroic). Gg and have fun

Get over your selves and go buy a different -blam!-ing game so many complaining little -blam!-s

Big fat troll with NO account ( muting )

3 RepliesHow is that different to Atheon? Crota was literally just sniper rifles and rocket launchers too. You didn't use fusion rifles on either of them either.
-
3 RepliesHave to agree. The bosses are somewhat lame in that regard because once you learn how to fight them, you literally just stand there and snipe their crit spots over and over. This is true of literally all of them except oryx as primary scouts and pulses seem to be the key to staggering him.
