I am the designated swordbearer for my raid crew, I would like to be able to run my Titan and Warlock (I'm lowsy with the sword on them) but there is a lack of sword bearers out there. So post your Loadouts and maybe we can help out new sword bearers that aren't quite sure what to use!
Here's mine:
Hunter:
Blade dancer
- Better Control (Jump)
- Vanish
- Escape Artist
- Shadow Jack
- Stalker
Loadout:
- Red Death
- Black Hammer
- Hunger of Crota

MIDA Multi Tool. When you're running to get the sword and running away after it disappears it is advantageous to be able to move as quickly as possible.

Meh I still just run Fatebringer/black hammer and gjallarhorn. We always have 20+ orbs sitting around the crystal so I use those to heal inbetween Crota rotations and quite often the sword bearer can be quite unpredictable and unshootable from the middle ledge so the extra fire power is more important to me

Blade Dancer (maxed agility/invisibility perks) mask of the third man fatebringer LDR Gjallarhorn

-
I think If someone has to use a healing weapon, they're doing something wrong... Anyways, I run: Arc Blade with Hungering Blade Fatebringer/Word of Crota Icebreaker/Black Hammer Hunger of Crota
-
Hunter Red Death The Chosen w/ Solar Hunger of Crota Knucklehead Radar with full raid gear.
-
Word of Crota Longbow Synthesis with AP rounds Super Good Advice - for the Oversoul if BS happens. Raid hat with health orb.
-
Red death efrideets spear with armor pen rounds and hunger of crota
-
Same but I use the Abys Defiant, switch to agility plus 2 perk. Warlock: max out agility and the Abys defiant too
-
I recommend switching to higher jump as you can go up from the chalice platform area as that saves time.
-
Same except i switch to my hand cannon (last word) so i can run faster when going to get the sword/running away from crota like a chicken with my head cut off, i don't care about the damage of my primary because all i use it for is to help my teammates kill the sword bearer and the occasional close encounter with a thrall, also i use hunger of crota to help kill the sword bearer quicker when i have the ammo and use my sniper on ogres and the oversoul
-
Same except I use: Vex, Abyss defiant or Fang Black hammer or Icebreaker HoC (sadly I don't have G-horn)

Edited by Valkitus: 2/12/2015 10:21:53 PMYou almost have my exact weapon load out. Sadly I don't have BH upgraded enough. I use Murmur since I'm also running toward enemies for the sword.
-
same except i use the fang and the ghorn so my team only has to focus on crota. the sword bearer never stands a chance
-
1 Replysame except SUROS Regime because I still don't have Red Death.
-
Edited by girflush: 2/12/2015 6:12:22 PMbladedancer, maxed out agility in tree, vanish during super (good for safely getting back to crystal area), increased invis time, high jump(to jump up from center if need be) suros, ldr, hoc, dont touch me gauntlets (sometimes a thrall will melee you while getting the sword and then you don't have to wait for the crouch and will get an extra second or 2 of time with the sword)
-
Edited by Xx Envoy xX: 2/12/2015 5:52:50 PMExactly my loadout except I used blink and razors edge.
-
exact same loadout as OP
-
Blade dancer Higher jump Vanish Invis blink strike Shadow jack Stalker Mida Longbow sythesis (has surplus and field scout) Hunger of crota
-
mIne is same as yours except i go with Longbow Synthesis with armor piercing rounds (for shooting Ogre's and Swordbearer through collumns and walls). Also I use mask of the third man for Orb regen
-
Mask of the third man (or I'll run don't touch Me's until I need health and then I'll switch to mask) All invis abilities Primary: Doesn't matter Secondary: Black Hammer Heavy: Gally
-
5 RepliesHunter with all invisibility settings. Raid gear, don't touch me gauntlets. Red Death, E Spear, HoC.
-
Same thing as you but I have higher Jump DNS suros.
-
Defender Titan: Adjust codex to drop recovery as low as possible, and boost agility/armor magnetic grenade [b]catapult jump![/b] blessing of light gift of the void force barrier continually recharges Weapons: Fang of ir yut Black Hammer Gally baby Everyone should be producing orbs as much as possible to help each other out, just pop a bubble for health. I usually can pop 4-5 during the crota encounter. the end result:

Edited by widowmaker1533: 2/12/2015 3:19:38 PMI keep that as a the sword runner and after every sword, I run down into ogre room, jump on a coffin, switch stalker for hungering blade and vanish for razors edge, kill a thrall, jump back on a coffin and switch back, go invis and run back. That way I'm always at full health every sword run. (Don't have mask of the third man either)
