The pinnacle grind is so screwed for entire year anyway because there's no heavy drop in the raid. If they had half a brain they would've added Love and Death to the Pit loot pool and made every drop a pinnacle like every Throne drop was a power drop when it was relevant. As it stands now everyone I know that is still playing tortures themselves through 1 pit and just saves 2 boss checkpoints...solid content.

[quote]The pinnacle grind is so screwed for entire year[/quote] 3 months = 1 year? It is unfortunate that the raid does not have a heavy drop, but that does not completely derail the Pinnacle grind, especially since drops are +2, you just need to be smart about how you level up. Pro tip, every time you level up, if your heavy is not as high as your average power level, do the Sundial and get a Line in the Sand power weapon that will drop at your average power level, this helps to optimize the grind. I'm at 969 on all 3 of my characters without the artifact, the grind is fine the way it is.
