Very close to 308 light. My damn boots let me down (298 def)
Primary: Hung Jury SR4 (308)
Special: 1000-Yard Stare (310)
Heavy: Raze-Lighter (310)
Ghost: Kingslayer Shell (310)
Helmet: The Stag (310)
Gauntlets: Grasp of Eir (310)
Chest: Chasm of Yuul (308)
Legs: Samsara I (298)
Class Item: Bond of the Wormlore (304)
Artifact: Numinous Web (310)
Man I have such a dilemma with the Hung Jury. It's an awesome gun, but mine is from a drop and doesn't quite have the same perks as the vendor one. It's missing Firefly and the one that gives it a bigger mag. Been wrestling with whether to spunk marks on the vendor one just for the perks and then infuse that mother up.
I honestly think you should
I love the way the thing feels and handles anyways so might as well get the best version possible eh?
Well @Damien and me have had a massive go at the hard raid today! And man was it tough!! Gologorth is where we are stuck at at the moment and its brutal.
So everyone level up
So everyone level up
Thing is we've got close a few times and its pretty straightforward, just get overloaded at the Taken. After we've (hopefully) done Golgoroth it's getting late so maybe finish for the night and we can do another fresh one tomorrow/whenever. You've still got bits on your Warlock to do and vice versa right? Then should be better prepared for latter stagesWell @Damien and me have had a massive go at the hard raid today!

I've got the Totem checkpoint on my Hunter as well which is handy as we don't get any loot for stuff earlier so we could use that tomorrow
I'm a 308 with my boots still at 300 dragging me down on my main, and then one of my alts is 304 with a 280 helmet
Keep getting stuff I don't need in the raid.Did you finish hard mode?
Edit: Nevermind just saw you're at Golgoroth. Heard the raid was mostly the same as before, just harder enemies
Just got to Oryx now. Not too bad overall. Got 317 boots, 318 shotgun and 312 sniper so far
We beat Golg then skipped the daughters as was told there was no real point in doing it if did normal mode. We decided not to do Oryx so started a fresh one and stopped at Golgoroth. 315 rocket launcher, 320 Warlock legs and 311 machine gun was my haul. Hoping to have some luck and get more legs for my Hunter when I try Golgoroth again another time.I'm a 308 with my boots still at 300 dragging me down on my main, and then one of my alts is 304 with a 280 helmet

My characters are distributed something like:
Warlock - 310
Hunter - 308
Titan - 307
Damn! Could be the first time I've had a better drop than you!
Got 314 machine gun, 318 rocket launcher and 316 chest armour for my hunter!
Wonder when we will be able to drop oryx
Very nice. It depends, I think for now we should just do up to (& including) Golgoroth then see if we get any drops that take us up enough light. What light is your Titan currently at? I think we should be able to continue where we left off on your Warlock/my Hunter then switch to Titans and do from Totems to Golgoroth. Hopefully we might be lucky enough to get a shell and at least one armour piece to take us both over/close to 310 on our best characters which should do the trick for OryxDamn!

Who told you no point to do the daughters? They're quite a bit harder because the timer starts right after the first round of shooting is done, but it's still manageable. Everyone in my party got something harrowed from them as well (I got the 318 shotgun...). No idea why somebody would tell you not to do it, unless they already did it and didn't want to go through doing it again
Also we tried Oryx a few times but couldn't make any progress, definitely need a group 311 and above I think, as 310 and below the enemies are red barred I think and you barely do any damage on the knights and ogres.

Yeah not true at all, you get both normal mode drops and hard mode drops. He probably just got moldering shards when he did it so thought you don't get anything.
Fuuuuuck, looks like the drops are sweet on HM. Think my Hunter is maybe too low light to be useful at all though. He can be like 303 light but that's if I use the Suros Regime (which I really don't like tbh) and my 310 Alpha Lupi chest which means I obviously can't wear my 290ish Celestial Nighthawk at the same time.
Maybe I need to run normal mode a bit more first before thinking about hard.

Yup, that's bs. Got a Titan mark from the daughters and I've definitely done the daughters on NM.
Got one armor piece at 315 for my Warlock, everything else I got at 310/311

So with the daughters the only difference is that the torn countdown starts straight away from the second torn onwards?
And is it at 311+ light you get guaranteed 310 exotic decryptions? If so, great as my Warlock can get up to 311 at max light right now so can use him to decrypt stuff to up the light of my Hunter and Titan
Jammy bastard @Damien
I think I'm done with destiny, at least until the next lot of new content. I really can't be arsed starting the grind now for 320 solely via the hard mode raid. Especially considering in a few months, they are likely to just release something else that will start the grind for 330 and make it all pointless again.
Having to infuse exotics, I think was the most frustrating part. Finally getting them to drop, only for them not to be useful, until you dump another raid weapon/armor into them, effectively making them pointless

Been collecting shit for ToM last couple of nights. Up to 34 calcified fragments just got the story ones to get and then the annoying looking ones. Not looking forward to pissing about to get them tbh.
Sigh, tried getting the calcified fragment from the skyburner command thingy but some other dude opened the door (to finish it off himself) and i got locked in there with the chest which i can't open yet. feck this shit man.
Is it me or is Hard mode massively underwhelming (up until Oryx).
Only got a go at it last night for a couple of hours but we go up to Oryx no problem. Those Ogre's on the other hand are beasts.
Got a Harrowed Qullim's Terminus @ 311, Harrowed Darkhollow Chiton (chest) @ 313 and the Cloak of Seven Bones @ 314

Just need to do T2 Court of Oryx with Cabal, 3 wizards/2 knights, the Skyburners thingy and the 4 story mission fragments and then just plow through the missions for my ToM. Hope i can bust out all the fragments at least tonight.
EDIT: Actually, only need to do that Court thing or the Skyburners one actually since i'm on 39 at the moment. Happy days.

If you need help on skyburners give me a shout.
@Damien when are we beating oryx tonight?
Zero said around 6-7pm
I agree with all of this, infusing is stupid they should have kept it like the eteric light method and the 2 tier light levels for completing the raids is a bollocks and then there is getting mouldering shards as your reward for beating oryx
I'd imagine the whole two tiered armour and weapon levels for the raid is actually going to bite them in the arse. In a few weeks time, no one is going to want anyone less than 315 for their raid groups, which means it is going to be very difficult to actually go from the 305 mark to what people actually want you to be at, as only the hard raid will actually get you up there.
Need one more calcified fragment now, the skyburners one. I'll get that one tonight and then blast through the missions. Hopefully they aren't too hard.
Finally got through the Court of Oryx thanks to some random Good Samaritan. Now just need to get sherpa'd through the Kings Fall.
Well, got the fragment i needed and did the first mission. Think i'm gonna need help with the Undying Mind one and Fear's Embrace one though. No matchmaking
ill join ya its pretty easy i soloed itWell, got the fragment i needed and did the first mission. Think i'm gonna need help with the Undying Mind one and Fear's Embrace one though. No matchmaking
Got Touch of Malice and just ground out my last few marks to get the vendor Hung Jury. Need 1 more mark to finish infusing it up to 307 too. Think i'll be about 303/304 light level then, don't know if that's ok to do any of the hard mode raid though.
Majority of it is doable at 303/304 to be honest. Not sure you'll have much luck getting a group but I can do it with you and if you get 2 or 3 drops you should be at 310
