I have on the arms dealer guy, but it was largely due to the lack of coordination and focus. Got split up, swamped by waves of adds, and just ended up dying over and over without putting enough damage on the boss.
Tip for all- boss has three health bars. Take the first to a short hair above halfway and do nothing, wait for Solar to pop. When it does, all of you lay into the boss with Merciless. He will be dead in seconds.

Got a fun run of the raid in with goons last night and gotta admit it's way more fun than I feel it should be; I think it must be because of the variety to the encounters or something. Sadly still not killed Calus, but we'd have had him if i didn't have to go to bed. Must be pretty quick to run once everyone knows what they're doing.

Truth. I did the O Captain mission where you have to jump space rocks on my titan. There was a jump I barely made or no correction.

Hunter I could correct to land on a dime after what felt like a 100 yards of distance travelled.

Strafe glide is pretty excellent once you get used to the timings.

When you've been playing hunter all day then switch to a warlock it sucks pretty hard though.

I actually like the titan jumps the least and feel that the balanced warlock glide is competitive with triple jump under most circumstances.

Triple jump is still the best, though.

I do the gauntlet every week as a warlock and find it mostly fine. I still wish I had the hunter jump though.

Sometimes the powers you get are shit.
I spent a lot of time just jumping everywhere and got the hang of the lock jumps. It's pretty great now. I especially enjoy jumping and gliding in pvp. When you run in close and jump your opponent is generally looking for you to hit the ground and not be floating above them. Of course if you try and glide when someone has some range on you and good LOS you're hosed.

Warlock jumps are fine if you know where you're going from the start. Sometimes they're even desirable. The problems come when you want to make corrections to your trajectory mid-flight, or barely clip something, or need to recover from a fall. Your ability to do so is extremely limited or nonexistent. You can feather the jump button, attempt to strafe, etc. but the fact is the warlock jump has little impulse of its own and is highly dependant on the initial conditions of the jump.

Also everything about the way blink functions is loving awful. I have no idea how they managed to make literal teleportation frustrating.

You have been called out, in the ways of old.
Blink is momentum-based with a slight skew towards where you're looking, but it's never been implemented fantastically well and shouldn't be used for precise movement. It's just something that was implemented because of the cool factor and a nod to the RPG staple.

I never used Blink until last night and I decided to use it for a last winding cove exploit grind. Got pretty used to it over 30 minutes or so, enough to say it sucks rear end against mastery of burst glide

Don't have to patch an exploit if the players don't gain much from it, I guess. That emo piece of poo poo never gave me anything after 5 engrams besides The Rattler which is awful.

Infuse it to get it usable! If it's a purple I might use, and I get a blue that's higher power, it gets infused. Don't care if I'm not using it right now, but might want to.

War Rig is awesome. The Raid AR gets bonus damage and accuracy while on a low clip, so you just gun it down to 15 ammo and try not to expend the clip while using war rig. Bam, it's like you have a more accurate pulse rifle that lets you crush precision shots with impunity AND you never have to reload!

The gauntlet is easy. The ships in King’s Fall... There are people who probably ran that raid 10+ times and still can’t do the ships.

Any tips on leveling alts? I'm leveling a Warlock right now, and the glide is really a step down from double jump imo. Which glide should I use?

Jumping as a Warlock is fine, you just need to learn to always double tap jump immediately. Never wait before pressing it again if you want to go up.

I like Balanced Glide, as it's a mix of height and strafing boosts.

Dietrich posted:

What, like it's hard? I just did Gauntlet this weekend as a Warlock and it's trivial :)

Bust Rodd posted:

The only part of this that really sucks is when you need a Top row Orb right in front of a big pit, you have to drop out of the hole and do this weird 180 shimmy straight down or you just float passively into the fog and die. Doing it on my hunter 3rd this week was insane.

You realize you can hit jump again to turn off glide, right?

I got a lot better with the warlock jump when I realized you can turn it off at any point, fall a little (or a lot, I guess), turn it back on if needed most of the time and I'm now able to adjust more while mid-air.

i understood this from the get go and yet still think the warlock's jump is a hot fart both figuratively and literally
