I've seen alot of comments in forums about how Destiny players dislike using the Taikonaut exotic and don't see a use for it....well id like to make the argument that it is one of the best titan exotics in the game. My Taikonaut loadout is only used for PvE including the raid. it is as follows: I/D taikonaut build will do with you're preferred armor perks and ammo. (I usually run raid armor though) the key to this build is of course using the sound a fury for your heavy and all encounters except (possibly) vosiks phase 2 since the sleeper is most likely the better choice at least on HM. if you couple the raid arms with taikonaut you will never have a need for a heavy synth (at least not nearly as often as with other builds). This in my experience creates a more less stressful encounter in the raid or in strikes and nightfalls and make DPS (especially in nightfalls) much higher because of the ample supply of rockets or heavy ammo which in turn makes it easier on the team you are playing with. I.E. i die alot less than most (again this is very helpful in nightfalls with airborne and raid encounter like vosiks 2 and aksis1 and 2) this likely would be helpful if using the dark drinker for captain killing at the seige engine as well to help with heavy drops....anyway i hope you give the taikonaut a try....the only time i take off now is when brawler and catapult are modifiers but i always wear it in the raid
