Get a sniper too if poss

@bosnian_red we couldn't do it. When Oryx opened his chest we couldn't do enough DPS before he slammed his fists down

Just make sure everyone's using a mix of auto rifles/ touch of malice/snipers, we get him staggered pretty comfortably even if someone is down. Don't think it would matter too much if your a lower level. The extra person who doesn't explode a bomb and relic holder can both shoot him I think, just ignore the adds and focus on his chest when he opens it.
 
I'm back available guys. If there is a spot free for the raid im in. :) still level 296 though

we pretty much threw the kitchen sink at him. even had a celestial nighthawk at one point. still didn't stagger.
 
Yeah, the NM machine gun definitely sounds better, but it's not going to make or break you in the raid to be honest, and neither will your choice of scout rifle.

The sniper's really good, but I've found that it doesn't matter much after you get touch of malice, since you end up shooting oryx with that instead. I like the raid sniper due to the fact that it has cocoon on it, so I can always pick it up to stun-lock the ogres as they come out, but if that's not an issue I'd keep going with what you have and spend your legendary marks on widening your exotic pool.

Edit: forgot to tag @Damien

Yeah, the problem is getting the raid finished the first time to get the ToM. I've got the raid sniper with similar light but not sure which to use as the issue isn't with the ogres, its with getting enough damage to Oryx' chest before he slams his fists down
 
Thanks for the feedback. I'm on 303 light now thanks to getting a 310 light The Stag last night. Will probably do a few more strikes and see if I can get more 310 light exotics

Didn't one of the guys we were playing with say that Oryx' chest was opening way too early?

sounds like a potential lag/display issue for some players potentially. I remember playing crota a few time and he was kneeling at different times for some people and throwing out timing. So chances are half the party could have simply been not doing any actual damage?

@Damien @Archie Leach I think something must have bugged out last night, been doing some reading and oryx has staggered with less DPS than we were throwing at him.

Probably, getting him to stagger shouldn't be a challenge at all really. Doesn't take much shooting to stagger him, in fact it doesn't matter much how much damage you do, its more getting a clean run with just doing the process correctly really, as the bombs do the damage to him.
 
@Damien @freshibal hi guys sorry was out last night, I am around after the game today if you would like to try again? Sounds like you had a bit of bad luck on the first attempt.
 
Damien said:
I'd like that. Fresh will probably be done by then though, he's currently doing it with a group from reddit/lfg

Alright well if he clears it we can just try get 3 others, or if anybody from the caf fancies helping. Would like to finish it before reset.
 
@Adam-Utd read up on the strategy too if you haven't. In addition to what bosnian said, there's only three who need to be on the platforms and the person who is going for the relic can be anybody
 
Hey guys! I also play Destiny, though i've not got amazingly great gear yet (well, not raid ready gear).

I'm currently deciding on whether i want a Year 2 Thunderlord or a Year 2 Truth. Personally i'm leaning towards Truth, but i just don't know. Whats the opinion of fellow players?

I've heard the reduced mag on the Thunderlord seriously limits it, but saying that, i used to love it in Year 1.

I think i'm just missing a good tracking RL since giving up my Gjally (shame they didn't bring that over to Y2, but isn't the Sleeper Simulant supposed to be the Year 2 version of the Gjally, if it's ever found)

it holds 49 rounds which isn't bad at all.
