Other weapons I use are a.whatever scout rifle and shadow price auto rifle from Vanguard, Praediths revenge sniper and corrective measure machine gun from raid.

    I also got an arc sniper rifle drop from an engram that I am leveling for nightfall, I think it's a crucible sniper.
    Think you'll wanna run the nightfall with me later? If you have the Icebreaker we can do it easily.

Besides raid and nightfall, where else have people found decent weapons?

      I only have 2 legendary primaries (Cryptic Dragon and The Devil You Know), but neither is worth investing in. My only exotic weapon is Super Good Advice and it really doesn't seem all that impressive. In fact I think my legendary MG is better. What kind of stuff can you pull from the raid chests?
      That nightfall was tough (I was trex187 without the mic). Sorry for bringing the team down (me being only 25 Warlock). I got a new mic so I will be looking to run some more tonight. I need to get upgraded weapons as well. I am trying to get a Raid going thinking that might get me some upgrades.

          Re: Destiny

          Just had my first rare engram turn to legendary since the patch, and all I got was the "Mark of Chaos" (a FWC mark). What a waste of RNG. I had a lot more of those rare to legendaries pre-patch; they obviously dropped the % chance. Ironically I think I got more legendaries total before the patch as compared to after.

          I think I'm just going to skip the normal raid and do the hard mode for the double drops. It is probably the only way I can get good gear in this game. Then again it will probably just give me double the shards instead.

            Two words: Tiger Strikes

            Farm them. Pretty much guaranteed at least one rare or better as an end reward. This includes legendaries and exotics.

              At level 25 and without a great maxed weapon you'll be bringing the raid down too. Not saying it can't be done.

              At 25, you too should be farming tiger strikes for better gear. If they don't drop during the strike, you'll at least be earning Vanguard marks that can be used to buy some pretty good stuff. My favorite legendary I own was bought from the vanguard quartermaster.

                Re: Destiny

                So what's the fastest way to get vanguard rep and marks consensus?

                Tiger Strikes after completing nightfall and getting the XP Bonus for the week?

                I need vanguard rank 2 and marks bad. Need some legendary gear (Helmet and Gauntlets) and it hasn't been dropping for me anywhere else. Plus want shards for upgrades

                    Yup pretty much. I do the nightfall and weekly heroics then Tiger strikes. I usually fill up my marks by Saturday or Sunday.

                      Cool. I did the 28 Weekly strike but my group couldn't get through the nightfall.

                      I have boots and an exotic chest but still stuck at 3/4 26. I still have two more defense upgrades on my chest but don't think that will push me to 27 without legendary gloves or helm.

                        This weeks nightfall, even with the safe spots, is one of the hardest yet. The wizards and arc damage are unreal. Phogoth is actually the easiest part.

                          Yeah we were having trouble getting past that first room. I can't imagine what the wizards room looks like. It was hard enough on 28 weekly.

                            I have done quite a few of them and was getting rare engrams, but never got anything better than that. Figured it was rares only as it is level 24 max. How often do you get legendaries or better?

                            And I finally finished that damn nightfall (solo), and what do I get for my troubles? 10 strange coins. EAT IT RNG

                            Edit - it gets better. My legendary vanguard package: 2 strange coins. I want to break this game.

                              For the wizard room, you have to run back up the steps.

                                Yep, that's the only way to do it I'm convinced.
