And yeah, it's kind of weird how he isn't selling an exotic weapon. I'm curious to see how Bungie addresses this issue. I wonder what he'll sell.

Is it really that good? I just got one last week and I am currently on the last node.

Dunno whether I'm getting a massive buff for being so low levelled but my level 9 Titan is a BEAST. That super can take down entire teams and I haven't even started upgrading it yet.

My k/d is shit but I've got level 34s who can't even touch this.

When I 1st went from a Hunter to a Titan I was amazed at how much dmg I could do to a group or enemies. It only gets better.

I rarely take it off, not even over Obsidian Mind. I much prefer survival since I suck with a controller (too many years of PC gaming lol), so having the life steal is beneficial for me with no self-revive, which then allows me to stack it with Monte Carlo + Soul Rip to help recharge Nova Bomb.

It makes it feel like playing is pointless.

Or.......you could look at it as those guys busted their asses to get the absolute perfect build and weapons for their style of play. I didn't get mad when I kept getting killed by Thorn. I went and got a Thorn.

If you're mad because 34s who have invested ten or fifteen times the amount of time and energy into the game as you are beating you then knuckle down and go grind for the great gear that they have.

Or they could isolate those people into their own games and let the rest of us enjoy our game?

I got it today as well. I'm not sure if the roll was the bast but I'll take it. I've probably spent close to 300 motes on engrams trying to get it.

The best roll you can get is a total of 128 on helmets. So whatever those 2 numbers on intellect and strength add up to, that's your roll. Mine added up to a mediocre 103, but I'll take it for now.

You're not one of those "everyone gets a trophy" kinda guys are you?

That 128 must not be correct. My roll is 63 Int and 74 Str. That's a total of 137.

I just don't see the point of making games so unfriendly for new players.

Your must have gotten a complete garbage roll on yours. I just looked and mine has 68 Intellect and 67 Strength for a total of 135.

This game is very friendly towards new pvp players. You try taking that level 9 into Iron Banner where level differences are put into play.

The level advantages are disabled. That's why your level 8 Titan can super the entire opposing team made up of 30+ people.

I'm not trying to argue with you even though it might be coming off that way I'm simply pointing out that those guys who have logged a thousand hours to fine tune exact specs on armor, weapon, strategy, etc deserve the advantage.

You're gonna wanna stay far away from trials and Iron Banner if you think regular crucible is unbalanced.

I'm guessing 128 is pre-HoW. I just checked my gear and every helmet I have that isn't a "II" doesn't go over 128.

I got my RAM from a drop the first week of HoW, 75 Int and 68 Str (Tot 143). I was thinking of rolling another since I have plenty of Motes, but I guess I'll keep it.

I know people hate Thorn in Crucible but I don't think it is too bad. Just jump and run away if you can. Pulse rifles on the other hand completely wreck me. I don't think I have ever won a head to head with someone using a top pulse rifle. Range and instant kill shots. No chance.

Well since Bungie doesn't support matchmaking I've had to avoid trials any way!

You're killing me. Destinylfg.net, reddit fireteams, there are probably twenty more sites just like those and you're posting on a site that any time you ask for help, people help.

If you can't do anything in this game it's because you've put in zero effort. I can make a post on reddit fireteams for literally anything in this game and get the people I need in less than a minute. Dead serious; less than a minute. You need five for Crota or VoG? Done. Two for PoE? Done. A 34 Titan with Ghorn and a 34 hunter for Skolas? Done. It takes longer to type out the request then it does for the responses to flow in. Take some responsibility for your enjoyment.

Yeah, I must have been getting my information from pre-HoW stats. 128 used to be the best roll on a helmet. Now it's probably around 150. Well that makes my roll of 103 absolutely despicable now. Whatever. If I get another one it'll most likely be a higher stat roll. I'm just glad to have it.
