Nightfall is Phogoth with void damage and thankfully no lightswitch (melee damage).
I did the hard Raid with that other group (and saved an Oracles checkpoint which was by far the toughest thing to get) and scored TWO Warlock helms! So I am set as far as hard mode goes. The only thing I don't have is the Praetorian Foil and I can live without that. I just need normal Hunter gear and I am completely done.
If you guys want to run Normal Raid then Hard mode Oracles checkpoint I'm up for that tomorrow or Weds. Just let me know, otherwise I'll run it with randoms some time this week.
Anyway, that's more proof of double hard mode "pull" from each checkpoint - otherwise I would have only gotten 1 helm.
Then I jumped into Nightfall with a guy from destinylfg. We did it pretty easily so we ended up just running it 3 times in a row for all our characters - all without mic
. It isn't too bad - we only wiped once when we camped too close to the Shrieker and it got us both around the doorway.
I had some weird drops: 10 shards, followed by 7 shards. WTF!? The Nightfall continues to troll me. Other than coins, the last thing I need is shards. I would have been happy with energy - but no... On the third one I got a legendary rocket launcher I'd never heard of before. It has arc damage so that is good at least - don't think I had an arc rocket launcher. That might come in handy for the DLC raid so I'll level it up along with my new gear.
Hopefully I can score the Hunter chest and boots and then I am pretty much done with this Raid.
Even though it is 5:40 AM I am jumping back on to do some bounties to get that Raid helmet leveled up for my Warlock.
