Look forward to seeing others progress through and talk about it, and like I posted above, if I'm online and you need someone, throw me a message. Next few weeks will be about gearing up for hard mode.

We've solved it all ourselves so far, EXCEPT

Spoiler!

The secret shard chest in the maze. There was no way we were going to solve that on our own lol

Spoiler!

except we don't understand the stat at the end when you wipe that says "recl. light det" or something. I don't really wanna look it up either just yet. But I suspect one of my raid buddies probably already has lol

Spoiler!

I think the "Rec. Light. Det," which I'm assuming is Reclamation Light Detonation, is a hard mode mechanic

[Mass_nerder]

Beat the war priest fairly easily...only 1 wipe.
When we got to gorgoroth, suddenly except everyone was dropping out, and it took another 25 minutes to get another two people. After another 3 tries, I had to throw in the towel.
Got the ghost from the witches part before the war priest...didn't get anything from the war priest though

[Jbo]

Got the raid helmet, boots, mark and auto rifle. Today was a good day.

[Anduril]

Only want the ghost at the moment. Only real thing eluding me to break 300.

Made it to Golgoroth pretty easy this time. Now we get to try him again! I think we'll be able to do it this week. We were close on Monday. So far I have a 310 ghost and a 306 rocket so colour me happy.

Managed to get the some of the class specific weapons. Loving the Hunter ones, as the hand cannon is pretty much a fatebringer with with third eye, with the last word flair. But, the warlock ones have to be my favorite. The scout rifle is great for a self rez warlock, it speeds up fire rate, and increases stability and handling when you have your super full. Pretty much turns it into a MIDA that hits as hard as vision with full stability. It's great.

Also, if you guys ever need an extra for the raid fire me a message. Managed to only do Golgoroth and the sisters last week, got some shards and a cloak.

PSN is Diverce

This black spindle mission is so hard!
Tried for over an hour with 300, 298, and a 297 (me) and couldn't do more than 2/3 boss damage.

I agree, I tried for about an hour before work but we were all 289 to 291. Just couldn't do it. Will try again tonight. I wonder if your can also do it tomorrow by increasing difficulty?

[Mass_nerder]

Yeah, it'll be interesting to see if it's available after today, or if we'll have to wait until it's a heroic mission again.
Don' think I'm even going to bother trying for it again tonight. It's not worth my effort. Might be different when I actually get some raid weapons with that fallen bonus damage.

Had a different group running golgoroth earlier today, and couldn't beat him...

Spoiler!

everyone was insisting on only having one gazer, with everyone else DPSing, but then we were only doing one bubble per round of adds. The group I was working with last night we would have 3-4 bubbles down before another round of adds.
That seemed to be a more viable strategy.

Had him down to about 10% left, but everyone got wiped out in the last bit.

[Jbo]

Just got Black Spindle with Stryker and a buddy. That was insane. Took us a couple hours to finally get a strategy the worked and get him down.

Nice... Good job guys

[Teh_Bandwagoner]

Three of my friends got it yesterday. I actually only tried it once. Got the boss down to maybe half. I was a wrecking machine in there though with my new fangledanged Raid rocket haha.

Getting to Golgoroth this week was wayyy faster, but I guess that's totally expected given that we were trying to figure out all the mechanics to that point by ourselves. Now the other two parts seem relatively breezy. Probably gonna give Golgoroth a go tonight. Should be doable. I'm feeling confident today!

[Raekwon]

Worked on it for a couple hours, we killed him but it doesn't count unless all the adds are dead. BLAH. We gave up

[Mass_nerder]

Finally got to oryx today.
It's definitely going to be tough to finish him off.
So far though the entire raid, I have the ghost shell, the cloak, and the shotgun. Decent haul.

[Anduril]

Cleared Oryx with clan group just under 1.5 hours. Would be quicker but that piston jump puzzle was fun to play around with. You can scale from the final platform straight up with a sword.

So far I've only gotten the Hand Cannon (bad), Shotgun (good), Machine Gun (good) and finally a ghost. The Cocoon perk was made for the shotgun since it loads shell by shell.

That cocoon perk would probably be good for the hand cannon, since it looks like the reload is unbelievably slow.
I had a blast with that piston jump puzzle! So much fun!

[Teh_Bandwagoner]

Beat Golgoroth yesterday. Once you get the rotation down it's not too bad. Especially since with my higher light level, I just get stuck on DPS duty, so not a lot for me to worry about haha.

Will have to give the Deathsingers a shot on the weekend.

So far I've had a pretty awesome haul. 310 ghost, 306 rocket and 304 chest piece. Though each item I get has progressively lower light lol.

[Mass_nerder]

Once you get the pattern down, the daughters were much easier than golgoroth...I thought they were the most enjoyable boss in the raid (so far...haven't made it too far into the oryx fight).

[Raekwon]

Got to Golgroth on our first attempt, a few guys on our team made it to oryx already on alts. They all hate me because on the first run to Golgroth I got the fusion rifle, ghost, and rocket launcher. LOOT WHORE
