I would like to try the raid, but I don't know if I'm ready yet. Could you look at my guardian and tell me if I should try it, or if I still need to get better guns/armor.
Edit: thanks for all the helpful hints and words of encouragement guys! For all those commenting about it yes, I am working on getting a legendary primary. Also thanks for offering to take me through my first raid, but I realized I forgot to mention in the OP I'm on the 360. Sorry PS guys
Edit 2: I didn't expect get this many replies wanting to take me on the raid so I feel that I should mention that I use a kinect mic if that bothers anyone. (My normal one broke and I didn't bother to get a new one) I'm also only 16 if that's a concern. (I'm not one of those stupid annoying teens, I hate them as much as you do).
Edit 3: so we just finished raiding. We got up to Atheon then decided to back out and continue later (hopefully tomorrow).

Edited by xxEVILMONKYxx: 11/28/2014 8:44:29 PMYou definitely have the capacity to do well, however I would be mildly concerned with your primary weapon and apparent lack of void damage. I would recommend getting either 1) A legendary primary upgraded to energy or 2) Any void special or heavy. Not required but it'll make life easier for you. Edit: For the best results I would recommend getting: 1) Legendary Scout Rifle - Scouts are good all around guns. Leads to my next point: 2) If that sniper is your only legendary special, pick up a void special next chance you get even if rare (preferably fusion rifle for versatility, sniper is also good option but you already have a distance weapon via the scout rifle). 3) With the above 2 and since you already have a legendary in heavy you are fine as is.

Add me I'll help you through it gt same as above
-
Did the same on fri, Atheon awaits tomorrow, good luck dude!
-
Excited for you. Nice, respectful post and edits, unlike some in forum.
-
You're raid ready, however, you could be better prepared. I would recommend getting some void damage.
-
-
No?...obviously your parents aren't Mr. Ascendant Shard and Mrs. Ascendant Energy....silly goose.
-
I was the same level as you, but only had the unfriendly giant when I did my first raid. If you're a competent player, you'll be fine :D
-
I wouldn't mind taking you through the raid. Message me on xbox if you want I'll be on in a bit GT: C7T3
-
Oh yeah, heck I'm 13 and I've done the raid 6 times
-
If u ever need a team, add me! I'd love to take you through
-
I would say you are ready. All I would say is that you need to pick up a legendary primary. As far as level goes, you are perfect. I am not sure if you could do it with a rare primary, but I didn't try the raid till I was 29. So I wouldn't know. You look solid tho, very solid.
-
You don't need anyones's approval bud. If you're at least level 26 and confident, rock that sheet out! No one goes in their first time doing everything perfect. Also watching a tutorial prior will help a ton. Have fun guardian!
-
Prob regular raid...
-
I did my first raid with no legendary weapons and struggled to kill anything without help, I was 26 though.
-
I completed my first raid at 27 with an un-upgraded thorn, a blue fusion rifle, and a half-upgraded arc swarm.

Edited by ljusmc1371: 11/28/2014 9:15:00 PMI did my first raid with the same gear and a base Galahad. Level 27. And 5/6 if were raid virgins.
-
Probably need a better primary, but other than that, yes
-
Add Psychadelic145 I clear the raid usually a few times per week. I'm always willing to help new people out. We also always clear the raid. I'll gladly help carry you so you can get some good weapons/gear. (i'm on 360)
-
You will be fine, but if you could get a void type weapon, that would help you a bit. Just remember there is a delay before you can be revived, so it is best to hide for a few seconds and get your health back.
-
You are ready level wise, but forsure get a better primary. I did my first at 27 to and honestly i had a good team so it was easy as hell. 2nd time my team was alright had two beginners and it took very long but i learned alot. Good luck. Imo its gonna be a good time for you
-
Edited by monkey432: 11/28/2014 8:48:31 PMWhoops erased my post didn't notice that you were on 360
-
I would recommend better weapons. Buy the shadow price auto rifle or the A.1****** scout rifle from the vanguard quartermaster. Depending on which one u prefer. Then level it up to 300. U also need a heavy weapon that does void damage to take on praetorians. Launcher or HMG, whichever u prefer. 27 is high enough to raid...but 28 makes a BIG difference. Sunsinger>Voidwalker IMHO. Self-resurrection comes in handy That would be my recommendations to be able to do well and not get frustrated.
-
you are so close to 28 go get a few mats and one more upgrade :D
-
As long as you have a willing team that can all cooperate together. It is actually very easy once you learn how to do things. Good luck man! Have fun
-
I'd suggest a better primary, but other than that you're fine, especially as a level 27.
