Light isn't that important. Player knowledge of raid mechanics, loadout, and skill trump light level. I beat VoG Hard as a level 29 back in the day, without Ghorn. I think we had three 30s on that random team.That was a big deal back then, if anybody in this thread even remembers vanilla Destiny.
Yes, high light helps...but I'll take squared away 360s over random unknown 380s.

Dude everyone was level 29 when they beat vog hard. It was the only way to 30... lol they don't call it forever 29 for nothing...
-
No, that was normal VoG. Everybody beat normal VoG as a 29, not Hard. I was a forever 29, so I know. Nobody wanted to take 29s for Hard mode. Nobody could get the boots to drop back then, but for me it was gauntlets. I made 30 with Iron Banner gauntlets, which was disappointing but still a small victory.

WHAT A SHOCK! A 366 PLAYER IS TALKING ABOUT HOW LIGHT DOESN'T MATTER!

Relax with your cap lock comments. Just starting playing this game again since ROI launched. I quit after TTK. Been playing The Division for some time. Have not even attempted WotM raid yet. But I am a Beta and Day One Destiny player. Just like level was not everything back in the day, light is not everything now. I did dabble in Iron Banner recently, and noticed a lot of 360ish players topping the leader boards over 380s. Apples and oranges, but light is light in regard to attack and defense values.

The thing here us that kight does matter. In fact, I say it matter more than experience. I say this because the higher your light is, the more damage you deal out and the less damage you take. Getting one shot by a shank because you are a 360 when you are empowered can lead to a wipe. I rather have noob 380s than a "experienced" 366. Sorry.

Nothing new here. Same argument from vanilla Destiny days. People wanting level 30s with Ghorn back in the day for VoG Hard. I'm not new here, I know the deal. I get it. Regardless of light, if a person can communicate and follow instructions well...that's who I want. As long as his light can be effective in terms of DPS and survival, then we're good. If the light is not effective, then no dice.
-
My point was that light does matter. The higher you are the more mistakes you can make. Even the OP states that he carried 3 new 380s in the raid and it only took him a hour opposed to the 6 hours with the 360s.
-
I understand your point. My counter point was simple. Knowledge, loudout, and skill trump light level generally speaking. Yes, higher light yields a greater margin for error. Smart lower light players overcome such things in most cases.
-
Indeed smart lower can overcome those obstacle but a higher light noob can not only do the same, but contribute more.
-
and that matters why, beside the fact you love screaming?
-
I like to be dramatic.
