[quote]7 parts needed for the EP key[/quote] No idea what that is. ^ [quote]no matter what light level you are in drops gear below its recommended light level.[/quote] And that right there, is why people are going to stop doing the strikes. There's just no point. I did another one last night, and it took about an hour (thanks to us trying to two-man most of it, since we either couldn't get a 3rd, or the 3rd guy quit). End result: a level 335 blue. The lowest item on my character is 340. Kiss my a$$. I won't bother doing anymore. We'll see if I even bother playing again. I came back after a few months off to see how the new DLC plays out. I'm not impressed.
