Greetings fellow guardians, this is my first post. I've been playing Destiny for a few months, but I still feel very new at it... and when I say that, I mean I don't have a flippin clue what the heck is going on half the time. I just know that it's very important to shoot things, usually in the face, repeatedly... and to spam the dancing emote upon every victory. So, after going through the majority of the Taken King, I'm at that point where I can't seem to get light level past 293-294, and the creepy lady won't shut up about doing the Oryx raid. It's stuck in my quest page now... I don't know about the rest of this community, but when I have a unfinished quest just floating around, it starts driving me into sheer madness. So, here's what I need to ask: Question #1. Sunbreaker or Defender? Which is really going to benefit the team more? Will people appreciate my wonderful glowing bubble? Or do they want me to set myself on fire and throw hammers at things? You tell me. Side question: Also, Bungie, will it be possible for me to eventually have a disco ball summoned with my bubble? ... Maybe if I ask really nicely? Question #2. Which guns should I bring to this fight? Is there any particular weapon I should be striving for? A certain scout rifle, sniper rifle, rocket launcher...? Or does it really just boil down to preference? I mean, if I join a raid with my little Conviction II sidearm, is that cool? Or are people going to look at me and be like, "Dear god, what is this man thinking? He is clearly insane." Question: #3. Should I consider doing the other raids before this one? Would bullying Orxy's son first be a good way to get a feel for raids before attempting Oryx? I'll be honest, after looking at various raid walkthroughs on YouTube... I got pretty cold feet about this. These raids look like a blast, but also kind of complex... as in, you really have to know what the heck you're doing, otherwise you might as well be taking a dump in the bathroom, while everyone else tries to finish without you. I don't want to be a party pooper though, so I'd appreciate any helpful feedback on how to get ready for this raid.
