Just waiting on the level 29 guy...

Your last one was our last attempt.

Just checked my Bad Juju. The new buff is legit.

Mag of 24 instead of 15
After a kill it still reloads instantly, but also increases damage for a short time. Also, kills with it now charge your super.
Also, it doesn't require energy to upgrade, but to get it to 300 dmg you need an "Exotic Shard"

Hot damn.

So, basically my Ascendant energies I was saving to max out my Exotics are now useless?

Glad I maxed out my Plan C, Last Word, Truth, Hard Light and Thunderlord when I had the opportunity but now I wish I would have waited to breakdown my second Ice Breaker and Patience and Time. Well, guess I'll have to wait until Xur gets his arse back in the tower so I can upgrade my shite.

New on today's update: for completing the patrol missions bounty you get 10 of that planet's material. So for today it's 6 patrol on Venus, and you get 10 spirit bloom when you turn it in.

I have 126 spirit blooms, I think I'm good for right now.

Super excited about the patch. Like for reals

Looks like I've got something to do this evening, but I might be back by 9. Put me down for tentative for the raid.
