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 DONT KNOW WHAT WE'RE YELLING ABOUT!
-
Good god you're a tool. Congrats for being the first on my mute list.
-
Dude if you have blackhammer, its the best way to take out that priest, infinite ammo with headshots..
-
Okay even if thy where just sniping the whole game that would actually make things easier
-
I have done TONS of Roc strikes and I use the icebreaker and have forever. I routinely end up with more kills than my teammates and am usually the guy to kill the boss, so no.
-
If you have to keep repeating yourself it's likely your fault for not being clear enough and you don't seem very bright to begin with.
-
Why wouldn't I snipe on top of the rocks? Less work for me. Never do any more than you absolutely have to do

Edited by Kdregg: 1/16/2015 6:52:42 PMMan, I just park up there.. allways sone tard running down trying to shottie everything..
-
What's wrong with sniping? There's a very realistic strategy to it... I'm so confused. I'M TYPING IN CAPS NOW BECAUSE IM CONFUSED!
-
I don't get it? :(

PRIMITIVE MINDS
-
After reading your entire post, it is absolutely clear to me that the issue for you is whether or not someone uses the Icebreaker in general, more specifically if they just received their IB today.
-
Dude that happened to me last night while doing the vanguard playlist (lvl 26). And some guy was using the IB, doing exactly what you described. It was so annoying, I was doing all the work while he was sniping. Although I didn't die, I hated the fact that he was doing that.
-
I've been sniping the bosses with my Supremacy ever since I've acquired it through the Queen's Wrath event. I snipe the crit spots because it is the most effective way of dealing large amounts of damage. However I do switch to other weapons once I run out of ammo or shots with the IB as inflicting continuous damage is the way to whittle down health.
-
I know this for an absolute fact, ICE BREAKER DOES NOT EQUATE TO SKILL!!! I played in an atheon battle with a fireteam all 30+ with IB, and i swear it took 2 hours to beat atheon. They were constantly making noob mistakes. Bad players will be bad players regardless!!
-
I shoulder charge those people off the rock until they either can't focus wihtout me knocking them off or they run down with me.
-
Just played two ROC strikes with a guy who did this. He got like 21 kills the first game and 17 the next. Myself and the other member of the fire team had around 100.
-
Oh god it's this kid again...
-
Stop crying and play your own game. All this complaining because people don't do more work for you. Man up and kill everything if you have to. /endthread.
-
Absolutely agree with you mate, doing strike playlist everything took twice as long because everyone sat back sniping leaving me to kill everything does good dps when they have full mag but waiting for the other 2 people to refill their gun every 6 seconds is a bore
-
I rarely ever snipe but am looking forward to buying IB. From what I've seen on forums and YT, it's a very essential weapon for crota. The only time I plan to use it really. I don't mind people who snipe but only the ones who actually contribute. Such as taking out hallowed knights or captains. If your wasting time with thralls or vandals.. thanks but no thanks
-
And I did it before it was cool
-
Think that was me on the rock...lol.
-
i play as a sniper my main weapon is a scout rifle so i will stand on that cliff and i will snipe. My load out is ment for sniping and it is the play style i enjoy. Now when i get to the boss i will sit on a ledge and stun lock him while the others kill him. when im out of rounds i change to my scout and take care of trash mobs while my other friend takes care of the boss. So long as the person is not sitting there doing nothing you should not care how they play. I also have days where i punch my way through the strike.
-
I stand at the back and stunlock pretty much every boss with my BH. If it does damage IDC how people fight the boss.
