Goddamn it Strange, you're killing me here, LOL! I respect your opinion, and I appreciate that you're willing to share your thoughts/advice. I'm looking at weapon purchases from the perspective of someone who is going to have to solo most everything. Also, Strange Coins are very hard to come by for me (because I solo everything with ass weapons). These are the main reasons why I think I should hold out for Icebreaker. The ammo regen perk is just too damn useful from my perspective. That said, I suppose I could just stock up on ammo synthesis consumables to deal with the ammo shortage thing.
By the way, what are your thoughts on these Legendary scout rifles: A.1F19X-RYL versus Proxima Centauri II

The way I see it I am only waiting for more DLc to drop. ACU seems underwhelming in all ways,COD SPs are more boring to me than watching spiders climb walls. GTAV ,Dragon Age for exploration, Destiny for fantastic action and Drive club to provide variety from all the fighting. I am all set now
! Wish I could do play Diablo 3 more but Destiny killed the addiction completely !
Try to make the most out of what you have. Suros Regime was a "must buy" at the time and I happily gave up on it. Turns out that was a good choice because I ended up with VoC shortly after and it turned out to be much better.
I have 3 characters that can solo LV28 heroic, so it gives me at least 27 strange coins guaranteed every week. That means I get to buy at least one weapon every week without worrying about running out of them. So you should keep that in mind.
If you're short on coins, you don't have to buy it. In fact, I would suggest you to save it.
Save it for "game changers" like Icebreaker or Gjallahorn or exotic gear that help you hit 30.
Time and Patience is a good buy for somebody that wants to be able to optimize engagements for all situations. It's a great weapon for those purposes.
However, it's not good for opening up new engagement possibilities (the way that Ice breaker, Gjallahorn, and Pocket infinity does). So I would suggest you to hold up and save at least 15 coins for next week (I assume you can get at least 2~3 strange coins in a week, that's pretty easy) and see if any of the "game changers" show up.
As for the two guns that are sold from Vanguard, I would choose A.1F119X solely due to the much better stability. However, I don't consider either one to be strong competitors end game. Get them if you need something to get through, but I wouldn't suggest investing too many energy into them as they will soon be off your consideration list. At least upgrade them to 267 damage or so though.

I'm sort of in the same situation solo gameplay wise though I'm lv29 and have a lot legendary/exotic equipment so I'm probably at top ceiling with the way I play. If you don't play Raid or complete Nightfall SC are rare.
My problem isn't really fighting through Nightfall but I hate repeating all that work several times to find a way to "cheese" through the last opponent. That's like throwing away 30mins or so each time. If they would allow a safe spot before the final encounter for solo it would avoid that problem. With a fire team you're afaik not kicked out until all are dead.
I have only experience with the Proxima Centauri II. It's the weapon I use for head bounties and it works reasonable with mid range fights but I'm by no means a Scout expert. Prefer the Shadow Price. It has a decent long range and is a lot better in close encounters.

gives an overview how they are balanced and perks.
It seems like a joke because it is.
For six years I called on blizzard to fix my game, why change it
And in regards to Blizzard/bungie, the same six years of wow tells me that bungie absolutely have nothing to be embarrassed about when it comes to the important end game. They really did an excellent job. I personally have never seen a fps games that does anything like this.

The sound it makes is also great.
I just finished up the Pocket Infinity bounty. Haven't tried it yet, because I went to Chinese Food for lunch to celebrate, LOL!
I'm soooo tempted to get P&T. I love sniping, and it sounds like this gun makes it very satisfying. Besides, there's no guarantee the IB will be on sale next week either. Must. Resist. God. Damnit.
My next planned purchases were going to be IB and then Gjallarhorn. Then I'd have what I'm calling the Strange trifecta: Pocket Infinity, Icebreaker, and Gjallarhorn.

I like how both Ice breaker and P&T sound.
I agree with Rangers, try to hold out for IB.
As for PI, don't judge it until you've leveled it up. Same goes for all weapons really.
my motto with Xur
"Buy everything you want"
because its the only time where people with low luck like me to get exotic weapon.
i also successfully make my cousin who stays here for 4 days to create warlock and level it up Ha ha ha ha
will be awesome to use it to farm strange coins.

I freakin LOVE Pocket Infinity! Without any upgrades it already seems just as powerful as my nearly maxed 77Wizard. I cannot wait to unlock full auto mode.
I started another Warlock for the sole purpose of farming shit. I gotta say, I really don't like playing through the campaign again.
I've decided to roll a Hunter too, since I've got a cool exotic helmet and nearly a full set of legendary armor for it from leveling my Warlock, LOL!

BTW, for people who can't do the Raid officially and have a need for shards you can get 2 free shards from the 1st Raid chest this way...

Tried it today and it worked for me.
P.S. I also rebuild a Titan but it feels like a chore to me.

The new method for the unskilled players, only takes 3 times longer than beating him legit
I heard this guy in the raid talking about how he looks over people weapons...if they have good weapons all at 248/260, he knows they just got them cheesing atheon and kicks them off the team cause he knows they will be crappy players.

a few days ago i was on hard raid team and we spend 3 hours only on atheon. all dead again and again. finally we just give up.
it just harder than before and i cant really pin-point what the cause. The enemy do have more tendency to teleport in your face...
btw i think i still have atheon hard checkpoint. if anyone need it, i can share it (not in upcoming 4 days, im out of town).

Makes sense, proper players have enough energy to get the main weapons at least up to 267.
I'd like to try the raid on normal. You guys have any tips for how to equip my lvl 26 Warlock? Weapons, strats, how to be a good teammate, etc? Is lvl 26 high enough, or should I grind more?
I've got a Pocket Infinity, and I'm not afraid to use it, LOL!
Also, my Titan is almost to lvl 20, and I've been working on the Defender subclass, mainly because I thought it would be useful for raiding. Although the Titan won't be ready for a while, you guys have any suggestions for that build as well?
