I was 371, and most of the others were 370 plus. There was one at 365, and maybe one other at 36something.

We *almost* did it with one damage phase spare, but we used the last one and got him to final stand relatively quickly. We had WoL and tether on most of the third phase damage phases, plus I was using sunsinger grenades which also give a 10 percent to 15 percent damage buff. I assume that is stackable with WoL and tether. We only just DPSd him on final stand as well!

The only tricky part is re arranging the empowered people. Initial call outs are fine but then when there is a gap, say left, you too often end up with two going left and then a gap on the right!

The team was very good, I was in middle, which is definitely worse than left, that I have done before, and the captain was dodging my Gally shots. They would really jump in and help get him down. Sword is definitely best for middle captain.

Completed the raid, the last boss took us a while, we had a squeaker with terrible DPS, mouthy little tt that was blaming everyone but himself, but his dad busted in and started bking him over the mic, we brought another guy in and cracked it. And what loot as wages for the toil? Two bloody auto rifles and neither of them higher light than my current main primary. What a fking load of st.

Even worse, the party leader had the first 4 monitors, but had gone to orbit, without realising that would reset the progress. We jumped off the area for the final monitor only to find the way locked and we couldn't open it. Many fks were uttered. I think I will save the 5 monitors for a time when we can consistently complete the raid without issue - it's pretty easy up until that last boss, but it would be a shame to spend an hour doing that stupid puzzle only to not be able to finish the boss and start the quest.

Oh no frown a bit of a nightmare! Must have been annoying to think you had it, and didn't. I'm sorry fella frown

Edit - not trying to run salt in the wound but the auto rifle is meant to be pretty good too. I haven't looked at what perks it comes with, but I assume they are good. Handy for collectathon as well?

The assault rifle has firefly and reasonable stability but I'm not a big fan of it - we had a guy using it during the raid at the end and he was constantly running out of ammo. It's nice and relaxing compared to use, less button pressing that a scout rifle I suppose.

They appear to have fixed the forge. With 6 people it was carnage for the splicers.

I should be on by 8, so we currently have:-

Wuddie
Mr E?
Gow3r
Irrotational

Innocent - will you also have Tom and F1Gav? We may end up with more than 6 again :-)

Gow3r - 355 is fine for the start of the raid and you should be able to get a decent way through and get some good loot, which will help with LL. Raid stuff drops at 365 as a minimum, so each item should give you around 1LL overall.

The machine god says "oh go on then".

So deal me in baby. I'd love a look at the raid.

I'm thinking a scout rifle with firefly, a void shotgun and a gally. I presume a defender is preferable.

If I'm utterly st, I can bow out gracefully and make room for someone useful.

Gents, thanks for that.
Need to try the raid again with a bit more light.

Iron Banana seemed to be dropping better gear than the raid!
Well up for having another go, would really like to get it all done or at least 2/3rds not just the first bit wink

Hopefully with Iron Banana I will be higher light next time we have a go!

Cheers
