Was able to complete with a friend when darkness encroached with no one leaving or coming in about a month ago

What I learned over the course of Pantheon and to some extent Final Shape is that there are loads of people that understand the meta and every interaction in ways I couldn't comprehend. The problem is that they can't mechanically do anything they're talking about.

The worst is you watch them die 6 or 7 times then the 1st time you die you hear "What are you running?"

I'm assuming like all things that have to do with drama in Chicago sports it was in response to this blurb in Joe Cowleys article:

While there is a scenario in which LaVine is not moved and returns to the Bulls, he would do so to a locker room that would welcome him back, but a front office and ownership group that consider it the worst-case scenario.

An NBA insider told the Sun-Times on Tuesday that the relationship between LaVine and the team’s top brass is completely shattered and “filled with mistrust.”

LaVine and his representation at Klutch Sports feel like they were misled on possible trade destinations, and the Bulls thought LaVine “opting” for season-ending right foot surgery when rehab on the injury was still on the table was a counterpunch thrown below the belt.

There was a reason that when the Bulls released the statement on LaVine’s surgery decision they made it a point to state, “guard Zach LaVine and Klutch Sports Group have elected surgery on LaVine’s right foot as the next step in his recovery process.”

I'm happy KC is saying something like this. I know Zach probably rubbed many people the wrong way at the upper levels with his decision to opt for surgery when it was clear he was going to Detroit but I don't know anyone that wouldn't prolong not going to Detroit.

All indications have been that he genuinely cares about his teammates. I hope he has a great rebound year.

People will complain about this deal but it’s a really great cost controlled contract.

People would have equally complained if Pat took the tendered offer and went into next season unrestricted. I like the signing.

What has happened in the last 10 years?

Pain, suffering, misery. If you hated the defenseless NBA in 2014, you'd hate even more now.

The team has no direction. It looks like they're trying to rebuild but until they can shed these terrible contracts they've handed out this team will continue to be in play-in hell.

This is the one. During Pantheon, I just had to scrap Gunpowder Gamble because of that.

If you join the Kinderguardian Discord which is pretty active, you can post for a Sherpa and schedule a time. I did it last year with VOW and it was an incredibly chill and easygoing experience.

In the middle of last season, I finally hit that point. It was the realization that at the end of the day, the Bulls team that I want to see compete is only serious enough to fill the seats and nothing more.

The reality wouldn't be so daunting if it wasn't for the fact that his son has no real business assets to bolster this team when his dad passes. So the same thing everyone has seen happen with the McCaskeys (here in town) and the Buss family (same sport) will inevitably happen to us. They will have one of the highest volumes every year in ticket sales but theoretically be one of the league's most cash-poor teams.

But the best shader in the game was introduced in Calus’ Selected.

Luke is someone who can game-plan incredibly well for around the first 20 plays of the game. It’s clear he understands where to create opportunities on the field.

A lot of the flack he received from me beyond Fields is that once adjustments were made to counteract his game-plan he kind of buckled and fell back into one track mind in how the offense should be ran.

I also want to point out that on some level I fully believe Getsy neutering the play book as the game went on had everything to do with Flus. There’s just too many synchronicities in offensive stall-outs and the loses we had last year.

Also looks like he got some sun. Maybe in his final days while Zavala was away he took his spot at the tower.

The only way I’ve found to make it viable for me to run it is pair it with monte carlo so you’re building melee energy as you’re killing but I totally agree.

Witch Queen isn’t nor is Lightfall. They’re both in the 2024 Legacy Collection

They have a new 2024 Legacy Collection that includes all previous DLC’s before Final Shape.

It’s good if you want to eventually raid or get the exotics from those older dlc’s.

In terms of subclasses:

Stasis is now free for everyone because the Beyond Light campaign is free.

If you want Strand you need to own Lightfall.

Prismatic is in Final Shape. Prismatic does include some Strand elements but since it’s its own subclass you don’t need to own Lightfall to use the strand elements in it.

I was hoping I wasn’t the only one. First time I saw it I was like “oh portal”

This but my final shot in the clip for whisper on my pantheon run trying to dps Oryx.

It was like every thrall waited for my last crit to jump in the way.

If you have any engrams for echoes (the turquoise ones) you can go decrypt them at the helm right now for a chance to obtain it. I’ve had one since last week.

So that encounter looks like this for me:

Weapons:

Any Kinetic, Any special (but indebted kindness if you got it is great)

Heavy: I almost exclusively used Xenophage for the whole campaign. It absolutely wrecks everything with good burst when you hit headshots appropriately. If not then use an LMG.

Before you rally put on all reserve mods for the specific lmg you’re using.

1st damage phase

Take your time plinking and plopping the stasis subjugator. You have endless amount of time here so using anything besides maybe some special is best.

2nd damage phase

As soon as the strand subjugator spawns super them. Then clear ads while grabbing buff.

That should be enough time in between the witness attacking and then you hitting enough to get the subjugator to half health for the aegis hit.

It should just be then you unloading the full amount of ammo you have from the LMG into them until they’re gone then you’re home free.

It’s 100% to do with the raid in contest.

There’s no way with the artifact and the chatter about different dps strategies with this raid they didn’t have 6 guardians wailing away during internal play tests and thought it was too much.

Until Final Shape then only Shadowkeep is free.

They announced that there will be a legacy 2024 bundle that will have everything in it before Final Shape.

They haven’t announced a price yet.

A couple of weeks ago I had a very legitimate question about how the DPS in Explicator worked and asked in both subs.

The depth of knowledge that came from here was insane and it was thoroughly explained. To a degree in which you could tell they had done it enough.

So whenever I’m unsure about something when it actually pertains to Pantheon or end-game content this is the first place I go.

Greg Olsen because Martz didn’t believe Tight Ends could work in his offense.

No trade makes me seethe more as Bears fan than this still today.
