What kind of RAID we talking about? A simple level 0 mirror or are you gonna run RAID 10 for maximum redundancy?

I personally am not willing to risk my guardian on a striped mirror but I can see the speed freaks trying it out.

I'm pretty sure it will be. DIdn't they already confirm it?

People have already figured out the new oracle order and found that killing gorgons is doable. They don't get more powerful as you kill them now but they do respawn.

Hot take theories for Destiny 2:

- Hunter are removed from the game
- You can fly with your ship in the loading screens some sort of minigame bullet storm shotenup
- Theres a barber in the new social area, and based on your race you are not allowed to enter it (robots)
- Matchmaking for RAIDs. You start every raid with 16 players. The map gets filled with enemies and when only 6 players are still alive, they can proceed to the next stage of the raid. The dead guys can start matchmaking again.
- You can remove your helmet and even use has a weapon
- Batman detective movie, you can matchmake / random create missions where you explore random space hulks. Gravity in these relics is randomized and events too.
- You can equip a pocket dimension (housing). In this pocket dimension you can have crota inside your garden, killing cabals
- You can bet real world money on Osiris games
- "Prostitution mode" reduce the playable area of the game to the top left in a tiny box, so the rest of the screen can be use to show the streamer persona shirt-less

I realize it's an AR that isn't Necro, but I dorked around with a Soulstealer last night and it was fun. People were unprepared to take a zillion bullets to the face. Really good players aren't fazed, so it's lobby-dependent.

Yes, all AR's are decent right now. I think 100 rof auto rifles are "best" (on the rasheed walrus scale it has 9 heavy sighs out of 10) and it's relatively easy to get a good roll on soulstealer's.

Based on games last night though, a good hand cannon is still king. The high elo dudes who have mastered mobility will destroy everything in their way.

They could do that because they kept the second sword from Ir Yut. They only used two debuffs on crota, weapons and viking funeral

Did they change the oracles on Atheon? I remember they were all on Venus/mars and the people who get teleported are random each round.

Or do they expect people to enter the portal to help out? That's loving dumb, who does Atheon like that?

Looks like that's exactly what they expect, the challenge modes have always required something other than the easiest and most common strategy. The three people outside have to enter to get their kill, but always having at least one person outside to prevent a wipe.

I guess what you have to do is have everyone shoot the minions before picking up the relic, relic guy gets first oracle and takes the relic, the other guys get their two, then the door should be open by then so relic guy exits and posts up outside it to cleanse everyone and guys 4, 5, and 6 can run in, kill, and run back out before they go blind.

Sending people in to the portals to help out on oracles is loving dumb and unnecessary.

Sending people in to the portal was a thing that made sense for a short time. If you had people dyiing in mars, or failing to do enough dps to kill the oracles (maybe because they where noobs withouth the proper weapons?).
Is something risky you do to fix something that is already broken. So is not a strategy anything, is a desperate move to save a run. Maybe?
