This isn't a nightfall. You don't have to stand on the rocks. The ones that are on the top of the area where the 3 waves of [b]vex[/b] spawn on the Archon Priest [b]strike[/b] when you're opening the door near the beginning. I understand you're JUST NOW getting an icebreaker, but please.. Just don't.
[spoiler]EDIT: Apparently this post was unclear to a few. I don't care if you have icebreaker, I don't care if you bought it, I don't care if you use it. However I do care if you sit at the back of the map sniping off goblins, getting essentially no kills leaving me to do 90% of the work. That's leeching off of me, and is not a play style. I think the icebreaker is great, and I use it for a few things.. But this isn't a nightfall. You're not going to die instantly, and you don't have to stand on that diagonal rock at the back of the 3 wave area on the Archon Priest strike about 1000 meters away, or whatever it is doing nothing for anyone.
EDIT 2: APPARENTLY IT IS STILL UNCLEAR TO ABOUT 2/3 OF THIS FORUM WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT, SO I AM NOW TYPING IN CAPS TO GET THE ATTENTION OF YOUR PRIMITIVE MINDS. READ THROUGH THE POST THOROUGHLY AND HAVE A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT I AM SAYING BEFORE COMMENTING ASININE THINGS THAT MAKE YOU LOOK LIKE A TOOL. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME M8S.
EDIT 3: [b]SINCE PEOPLE WILL INEVITABLY MISINTERPRET MY POSTS IN THE FUTURE, I HAVE A VIDEO FOR YOU. THINK ON IT. MEDITATE ON IT. CONSIDER IT DEEP DOWN INSIDE THE PITS OF YOUR PITCH BLACK IGNORANT SOUL.[/b] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAKG-kbKeIo
EDIT 4: Bolded words were edited in for the special flowers of this thread who needed a little extra help.
EDIT 5: After about a day of this thread being out I remembered the name of the strike. It's called Winters Run. Hallelujah.
EDIT 6: Now that this thread has gone on for a few days and it has played out to my amusement, I will inform everyone that this does slightly bother me, but it doesn't matter to me all that much and I felt like getting a rise out of some people. It was fun everyone, now like it up because we're almost at 100 likes :D[/spoiler]

I always use my icebreaker, even from up close. It's been that way since week 3.
-
I'll stand where I please, and I only stand in the most strategic places. If a new one is brought to my attention I'll change. And honestly, on the topic of askor I'm glad they patched under the stairs. I'd go there for easy rocket shots as he came out, but after that the spot was trash.
-
So what, gets the job done doesnt it. I got my icebreaker tuesday from nightfall, does that make me a noob?
-
Nothing wrong with people sniping enemies, as long as they can hit them, hell with 3 people sniping, the archon priest doesn't move from his initial position as long as people hit him in the head. But their in lies the problem. Ice breaker is a noob cannon, with its ammo regen and people use it like a scout rifle. Here should be a rule that says you can use a sniper rifle until you have a few thousand kills with a hand cannon, as you naturally go for the critical hit points every time then.

Go -blam!- yourself. Stupid asshole trying to superimpose his play style on others. -blam!-en noob.
-
Why do you care?
-
Don't tell me how to play my game
-
I've got 2, I stopped using them when tdb came out and the Black Hammer. On some strikes sniping the adds makes it go faster.
-
Better ice breaker than no land beyond
-
How about I prepare myself for all the pissed-off douchebag forum posts instead? To all who bought their first icebreaker, CONGRATULATIONS!!! It's a great gun!

Stfu you pole dancing chimp

Whay are all these annoying posts about icebreaker on the forum. This weapon will only be a massive help in PvE (Nightfalls/Strikes.) I never saw someone used it in PvP. It only can be better for all of us. I f he would sell gjallarhorn, it would be something different. But the icebreaker is totally ok. Imagine the shitstorm about gjallarhorn if he ever sells it again..... :0 People would kill Bungie for that.

Edited by wikked75: 1/16/2015 11:08:46 AMYeah. I don't see a problem with it. As long as they're sniping the major enemies, me and the other teammate shouldn't have any issues taking the rest of the enemies out pretty quickly. I sort of like having someone up on overwatch, regardless of what level it is. Good tactics are good tactics.

Hopefully people realize it is a situational gun before buying it.
-
Piss off I have had an icebreaker so I can do what I want.

To be fair, I bought my first IB (Every time I see that I think irritable bowel... I digress) first IB from Xur week 2 of the game or whenever it was? Got my second a few weeks ago from the nightfall. But I agree about the hide/snipe on Priest, not necessary at all and only makes legit fights more difficult with all the adds because they rarely ever help kill them.
-
Who uses an ice breaker on the archon priest? Black hammer all day!
-
Everyone had ib already. Its not rare at all.
-
Ppl have already been doing this way back
-
Wow weird Xur must have sold it months ago cause it was like this always
-
Let them play how they want.

Lmao, Roc strikes? Hahaha! Give me a f*cking break! Roc?! Lmao! Lemme giess what you said, Roc!? Wow! What a pathetic bastard, these strikes are already easy and everyone gets 1 shot with my worthless Final Boss, and you're here crying about Roc? Pfft, get a better excuse, edit your post with Raids or Nightfalls, but Roc!? Hahaha!
-
Right! They need to get out of the way so I can go up there with my Black Hammer and actually end it quickly!
-
I love sitting back sniping on priest map. And I'm An alpha player. Not Everyone like to play like you.
