Warlocks have the best melee and Devour lets you actually survive close enough to use it.

Titans have Reversal, which triggers health regen on every melee kill. Not quite as awesome as Devour, but it's not a charged ability and is awesome enough for strikes. Dive swinging into a group of dregs+vandals and they are incapable of killing you.

The real advantage though is you don't have to be a warlock.

So all my friends have had this game since it came out. Is there any way for me to catch up quickly? Just play the game normally?

Yeah. Do the Dad approach. Play when you can. The content and people will be there when you have time.

rng was shining upon me today as it dropped a Skyburners, that double fusion grenade Warlock chest, those voidlock gloves, and a bunch of shiny engrams making GBS threads out pretty sparrows and two new dope rear end ships so my space Barbie can stunt in style now.

Yeah and Warlocks can eat their grenade to get full hp and trigger devour. AND if you use that warlock helmet, you get your grenade back in a few kills. It's stupid how much you can survive.

Can confirm. I'm up to 284 and I don't play anywhere near as hard as my friends that are around 290 Plus. I also haven't done the raid yet

How do you make Fighting Lion good? It's so rad but so terrible.

Same. Plus I just like to let other people figure it out. I did progression level stuff in WoW and it was bullshit. I don't have that time or dedication anymore.

See a group of vandals, hit one of them with a grenade, then run in and punch them all to death because now they're low enough health to die from a single melee. If they die within a few seconds it reloads the grenade launcher which makes you ready for the next group.

Its primary bonus is against shielded enemies though. It fucks them up real good.

Go away Darci, no one wants you around.

Also, swords rule if you know how to flank and hack down three people trying to shoot your teammate.

Is it necessary to have one of every class in the raid? I have 5 friends, 3 of whom are playing Hunter, the other 2 Warlock. I didn't really want to play Titan, but if we are going to need one to raid, I'll bite the bullet.

That floaty loving dawnbreaker gimmick is fun ban man do you need to practice. You can float around blasting people left and right and they typically don't know what the hell.

It's really fun in PvP but I usually switch to Arc for that because those little Arc Souls are really handy as early-warning detection systems and can sometimes finish off someone that tries to run.

Just think of it as an extra power weapon basically. Also the skin that makes it a Jade Dragon is sick.

I would recommend at least one or two warlocks for the final encounter because of their healing/empowering rift. other than that go hog wild.

Wow it's taking a long time to find a guided nightfall game. This doesn't seem worth it, think I'll just find a group manually instead

No, if you treat it like a normal grenade launcher it is a really REALLY bad gun.

You have to either take down shields with it, or kill tagged enemies via some other mechanism. Only then are you using it properly.

The warlock dodge in air is nice and you can chain between jumping/gliding and shooting and juke. It's going to be nuts. Watch.

Yes, it's a precursor for the in game auction house. You'll be able to put those tokens up for sale. Other people will be able to buy their trials carries with dust, and Bungie takes a cut of the transaction.

You're entitled to one playthrough of the nightfall with a fireteam from a random clan. Who's carrying and who's being carried will become clear when the strike starts.
