I've forced myself to switch from Bladedancer to Gunslinger just so I can deal with Sunbreakers.

I find Stormcallers are pretty easy to deal with if you take the right angles. Generally, a Stormcaller is a pretty linear target, so if you position correctly, they are easy to headshot with a high impact sniper.

Titans....unless I get my LiTC bullet on my Eirene, I can't take them down, so I save my GG until I hear a Titan activate the hammer, and then try to position by a wall to get my shot in and then duck behind cover.

I've also found nightstalker to be underwhelming in crucible. I use it all the time in PVE for the utility, but PVP is just painful....and I can't bring myself to use the glitch.

Yesterday I tried a rift match in which the other team picked up the light and then the 3 hunters following him proceeded to spam tethers as he ran and capped the objective untouched 5 times. It was impossible to do anything other than die so yes, as much as hammers can be difficult the tether exploit is much more concerning.

Sounds good, but given that I've only done the normal raid twice I'm not geared up at all. Probably not going to attempt hard mode till I get a little more gear

Here's a couple clips from me the other night.

http://xboxdvr.com/gamer/l%20Ghostri...video/12345753

This was a 3v1. Didn't get the whole clip, but sniped the first guy from in close, got the second with grenade / primary, and the third to finish it off.

http://xboxdvr.com/gamer/l%20Ghostri...video/12356500

http://xboxdvr.com/gamer/l%20Ghostri...video/12356506

http://xboxdvr.com/gamer/l%20Ghostri...video/12356510

These three were from the same game. Really liking the Eirene sniper. Can't wait to get one with LiTC and a better scope.

I think last night was a personal record for me. Two raids in one night- King's Fall and Atheon lol. Atheon dropped like a sack of bricks, but will the Gorgons ever stop being frustrating?? That took us a while, even on normal last night. Talk about rusty heh.

Scooped a 310 knucklehead yesterday in the raid, which is awesome. First 310 exotic armor for me, and while its a monster moreso in PvP, it raises my light a ton in PvE should I attempt the hard raid this weekend (old helmet was only 296).

RNGesus was finally kind to me - wooo!

That LiTC double body kill.

Random group of clips of my own from last week's IB.

Finally got a full 3v1 captured last night:

Yea that LiTC on the Eirene is amazing. I can't even imagine how good that gun would be with a better scope.

Ok. Anduril, that breaker with the Hunter at the end of that clip is outstanding. Awesome use of the map, great lock down of the heavy, and hilarious use of the emote. 10/10.

Anyone else planning on taking on hard mode Kings Fall today?
I don't have a team, but I'm sure I can find a PUG.
My lack of Spindle and ToM might hinder me though...don't have the time to grind out shards for ToM, and couldn't get the Spindle before the nerf.
I have all 310 weapons though, so it shouldn't be a problem.

Streaming HM Raid for those interested in watching while they're away from the PS4.

Finished up to Oryx and stopped. Got 5 drops across two characters from beginning to just before Oryx at about 310, 310, 311, 311 and 316.

Still not enough to bring me to 310. The RNG upon RNG in this game is maddening.

Spoiler!

Yeah, I stopped after war priest...
Got a 310 ghost and a 312 rocket, which I infused into my machine gun to bump it to 312.
So far it doesn't seem like hard mode is going go be much more difficult.
Still only 309 though.

I got to Oryx with a pick up group today. Not all that different from regular mode. Couple little tweaks, but nothing shattering.
