If we're going with hip hop then

Nowadays everybody want to talk about RNG
But nothing comes out of my legendaries
Rares like a freaking fool
Motherfuckers act like know Rahool

i hate rare loot and i cannot lie
you legendaries can't deny
when you see rahool and you turn in loot
and it fucking comes out blue i ask why

Disagreed. I already build my super fast enough, and using my sun singer super to spam sticky grenades at bosses is awesome and does a ton of damage.
Sunsinger is actually pretty unique among supers in that it allows you to pump out more DPS with your standard arsenal. Weapons of Light spec via Defender shield does have that same potential.
 
Now for some personal notes of shame..

yikes. welp. this one definitely has me hooked.

also, I went on a hunt at lunch...

*sigh*

First time I've ever bought a console on impulse... first time I've ever bought a console without the intent to get any games for it, for that matter. I heard it's actually got some good stuff though, so, um, happy to accept suggestions for awesome Vita games!

btw, is it okay with you guys that this whole remote play over internet thing just blows my fucking mind apart? I had no idea the streaming technology had become this viable. obviously it's nowhere near perfect but just the concept that I can log in and gather some mats or check items from anywhere...

Truth be told I got it because I'm going out of town for the weekend but I've got 23 strange coins and if Xur has something good...

losers in that top ten

Don't farm. Those 4 hours could have gone into grinding rep for vanguard/crucible or any other faction of choice. In those 4 hours you could have got 65 crucible marks by playing PvP and completing bounties. With those marks you could have bought a legendary, provided you are lvl 2 or higher with your chosen faction.

TLDR: DO NOT farm, it's going to make you frustrated. It's a time sink not guaranteed to net you anything at all, and even if you happen to come across a legendary engram, it's never guaranteed.

This is my problem. I'm halfway to Level 2 with Crucible rep (only about 1100 rep left) and have 92 marks. I'm so ready to buy a legendary piece of gear but the only two bounties I have left are the 5 buckshot medals and play 5 matches of a salvage. Salvage isn't available today and getting those buckshot medals are impossible for me. I keep getting laggy games even though my connection is good. I'm pretty much stuck until tomorrows bounties come up.

Cause I'm The Cryptarch, give me legendaries
All the other gear methods are just imitating
So won't you give me yours
and get a rare, get a rare, get a rare
 
Don't feel bad bro. I'm still using a *green* auto rifle at 24. I can't get a fucking blue to save my life. It's embarrassing, and it drags down groups. Had to be carried through the weekly because of it, and I'm always the lowest kills on every map, even when I'm higher level. It's really fucking aggravating, but I've decrypted hundreds of engrams and the only blue primary weapons I've gotten are hand cannons and pulse rifles, and the pulse rifles are never level 20. Even though I hate PRs, I'd still use one if it were level 20.

Alright, I figured it out. Cryptarch has a green primary weapon right now. I've got about 15k glimmer. I'm just going to burn glimmer on these things until one of them decrypts to a blue weapon for me.

Welcome to VitaGaf. It's an awesome little console. And your right remote play is amazing. I don't know why Sony doesn't pimp that function more.

The truth is supers are wasted against bosses alrogether. They are pretty much always best spent eliminating adds not only for superior orb generation but to increase firing uptime against the boss (which is where your real DPS comes from).
This is the second time I've seen the word "adds" used like this. I thought it was a mistake before, lol. Does it come from the MMO world?

This just dropped from an engram the Cryptard gave me. He must have had a good night last night:

Gotta ask, as a fellow Titan, how are you using your super in strikes and boss battles? Do you focus on minions while the rest of your team uses their big stuff on the boss? That's pretty much how I've played both striker and defender because otherwise its damn near suicide.

Its also the prime reason I started a hunter, so I could actually use my powers to help take down bosses.

Yeah, I usually save my Super to deal with sticky situations, like when I get surrounded during bossfights. Also gives my teammates plenty of Orbs of light for their Supers.

Yes, it refers to any enemy that is additional to your main target.

Gaz, we need to hit up the crucible together more often, beta style.

for rizzle

again sorry toda, that was my first remote play experience ever, I had no idea what the controls were or how to communicate through messaging through my ps4 through my vita...

I'm better than that I swear XD will be on a little later tonight with voice.

Right?! I'm just stunned I didn't know how this worked until actually seeing people being like "welp just playing Destiny at work here." I thought it was like Splashtop I guess, which completely screws you if you're not in the wireless range of the physical controller... but they seem to have mapped everything! I think. I can't figure out the emotes, don't understand what that's not just the dpad like on the ps4 controller. But regardless I'm blown away.

yup. adds meaning "additional mobs" i.e. in addition to the boss. "mobs" being "mobile creatures" from like even longer ago

Nice, I do have ps+ so that'll stock me up... apparently this thing needs a proprietary memory card though? blech!

Just beat the Nightfall Strike with the craziest strategy. Had a guy with the exotic sniper (the one that regenerates amo) get in a spot where the mobs and Phogoth couldn't hit him and had him just sit there and snipe him until he was dead. Took a good 30-45 minutes but it worked!
 
Tomorrow... We all buy sweet loot.

I'll be buying both the Hunter exotic and the exotic engram. Taking my chances with it lol

I'm hoping the Hunter exotic is Achlyophage Symbiote.

If there's an exotic engram going again and I can afford it, will try it for sure and then jump off the tower because it's going to be for a hunter calling it now.

So far today, legendary primary weapon engrams...shit blue. Legendary helm engram...shit blue.

gg

Also, maybe the DoT is good in the end, but so far Thorn is terrible. 6 round mag with no quick reload is just bad. Back to my blue 12 round mag with fast reload.

Has anyone had any issue with 'sticking' controls using a Vita for Remote Play on Destiny? Mine works for a while then all the inputs (say, strafing left) will act like i'm holding the direction down when I'm not. Sometimes the same with turning/looking etc. Feels sludgy. Wondering if it's my setup.

Umm. Dude, you are just really good. We can't all be Gaz! At least my sub 1000 point days of the Beta are done. Scoring over 2000 and 3000 on the reg now. I keep trying though because it's too damn fun. Haha.

Yeah win or lose, it is too damn fun. Definitely my favorite part of Destiny.

Assuming you have super again when adds next come, sure. The point is your group as a whole loses the most damage and is easily at the highest risk whe dealing with adds. You will similarly be able to do more damage to the boss when you are able to freely shoot it for a longer period without adds.

Basically, you die in this game during boss fights because of adds; your group kills a boss slower because they spend X amount of time not shooting the boss. Killing multiple units with a super also generates more orbs. There is a clear heirarchy here of what should take priority in terms of general super usage.
