I did the Raid twice (sort of) with my Warlock today.
Earlier today I helped Moose cheese the end of the Raid for some of his friends. He knocked Atheon off and I got the Chatterwhite and Vision of Confluence.
Then I got on to destinyteamfinder.com (
http://www.destinyteamfinder.com/?page_id=104) to hop into a Raid with some random people.
From that I got more weapons and not a
single armor piece for my Warlock. That was pretty disappointing. I got two rocket launchers from it: Ghallajorn and Hexen Vengeance. So that's nice - Ghallajorn I had wanted anyway. Now I wish I hadn't bought Truth from Xur. I have tons of exotic and legendary machine guns and rocket launchers now...
The best thing I got was from the earlier cheese: Vision of Confluence. One of the early upgrades is an auto-fire mode. That is pretty nice to have on a Scout rifle - plus it has solar damage, which is a big plus on a legendary primary (like my Atheon's Epilogue with Void damage).
But damn, I thought for sure I'd get at least
one armor piece. So now I can't do much with my Warlock. Hopefully we run it again this week with the same CAG team as last Tuesday and I can get those gloves for my Titan at least.
By the way, we tried to cheese the boss this time and I was the one doing it since I was the one of two Warlocks (the other guy didn't seem to want to try). I got close, but then we just decided to beat him normally and that really isn't all that hard. I think it only took 6 or 7 portal runs. So when the patch comes it isn't the end of the world (though I'm glad I got in on that hard mode cheese yesterday!).
The tricky part will be the 3 random teleports. I don't know why they had to do that. So at least 4 people need to be familier with using the Relic and everyone has to be able to handle the portals. I can deal with the Oracles, but I've never handled the Relic. You would have to set it up in advance who will grab the Relic in what order so there isn't any messing around when you teleport.
