[QUOTE=ghghop;48935503][B]Breaking[/B] 300 without exotics is literally impossible. You have to have raid gear to do it. That is what I mean. To get that you need luck on your side and getting two or even 3 shots at gear for you and your main is important
[editline]19th October 2015[/editline]
Im talking 300-320 with the "10-20 levels" mention btw
And we'll see when hard mode releases Friday but I'm guessing exotics probably won't drop at 320[/QUOTE]
are you forgetting that 300+ light is only required for the raid itself? of course only the hardest content in the game allows you to reach endgame

[QUOTE=MadBomber;48936291]So what light level does one need to be before you can even THINK about doing the raid?[/QUOTE]
285, try to get 290 because youll be fairly useless in the last fight if youre under 290
Is it worth it using the level 25 boost or will it somehow gimp me when I try to advance into TKK missions?
Also I have no idea what that boost will do for the story missions. Does it advance them or do I have to blaze through all of them up to 25?
it doesn't advance anything other than your level, you still need to unlock all the story missions
Well, that's alright. Being 25 doing level 3 story missions will presumably make it much faster.
yeah theres no real reason not to use it
Well the one downside I can think of is that I won't have as much time to unlock subclass stuff.
Also how do I get the third specialization? I want to throw hammers at people.
its part of the taken king questline after you complete the first mission on phobos

I know, just explaining that just because he is 307 from infusing exotics doesn't mean that is possible to get past 300 without said exotics.
I personally am not complaining about drops rates and so on, but it seems like RNG for a lot of players is an issue that makes the game a huge grindfest especially if you don't have 3oC
why would these players be concerned about "grinding" to 300+ using only exotics anyway?
anyone who is aspiring to 300+ is going to be raiding, and raid gear is by far the easiest way to achieve said levels
I really don't get your argument at all
Anyone looking to get the raid done before reset tonight ? On ps4

Three of Coins, run strikes

I said earlier that unless you're swimming in 3oC it isn't easy to get exotics. Read my posts next time instead of being a contrarian for the hell of it
if you arent using 3oc then youre just limiting yourself for no reason

They cost seven strange coins stop acting like it's difficult to do
[QUOTE=Bathtub;48938147]if you arent using 3oc then youre just limiting yourself for no reason[/QUOTE]
What if you have no strange coins? They nerfed drop rate for them too.
Im saying there is no simple easy "do this to getezpz max light level without even trying! "

you get a good amount of strange coins just from playing the game and completing bounties

How do you not have enough strange coins for a Friday when the reset is Tuesday
If you play for two hours every day until Friday then you should have at least 7 strange coins, you get 5 from faction packages
strange coins are not hard to get
I don't know what the big deal is about getting to the recommended light level for the raid [I]that the game tells you to be at.[/I] If you go to the raid in the menu it says to be at least 290. That isn't hard to get. I was over 290 by the time I first ran it by running a lot of 36 strikes and decryping engrams smart (decrypt an engram, check if it's higher LL, equip it if it is, decrypt next one, repeat). If you need a good sniper rifle, get a 1000-Yard. If you need a good machine gun, get the one from New Monarchy. If you need a good primary, get Hung Jury from Dead Orbit. If that sounds like a lot of rep, run more strikes for more armor parts and Motes of Light and dump them into faction rep (and you're getting engrams for more gear/infusions too and strange coins for Xur). Doing all of that got me more than ready for the raid, gear-wise. After that, it's just getting into a raid, seeing the encounter once or twice to understand it, and you're golden.
Also, buy the Vanguard shell from Ikora. Probably the best Ghost shell you're going to get pre-raid.

Okay but either way that's 4 strange coins right there, it isn't hard to get seven in one week

I wasn't arguing that? just informing you if you didn't know?
with normal play I usually always have like 30-40 coins a week to spend

since you didn't quote him, that's why
I'm trying to decide if bladedancer could be any worse right now. Literally anything can kill you faster than you can run to people unless you try to jump over everyone and hope for the best.

I mean, shit. You can't even do the ranged slash through ward of dawn and you don't have an overshield so going up against a defender titan is certain death.
Favorite class is now garbage. What the fuck Bungie.

Im talking hypothetically.
I've got plenty, I guess I posed the situation in a weird way that made you all think I'm starving for coins and levels.
I'm 307, Im fine
its mostly because of how insanely dominant it was as well as how well it utilizes stuff like blink shotgunning
[QUOTE=Bathtub;48938536]its mostly because of how insanely dominant it was as well as how well it utilizes stuff like blink shotgunning[/QUOTE]
Blink shotgunning isn't really necessary anymore because the Conspiracy Theory has such a huge range. Haven't seen anyone do it recently.
But yeah, Bungie does seem to be trying too hard to correct the problems in community feedback.
Bladedancers were too strong and now they're not competitive. Titans were totally underwhelming and now Sunbreaker is too strong.
Unrelated thought, this new pulse rifle only meta is already getting annoying. Sometimes I switch from Red Death to a handcannon because it's so boring.
