Well I finally accomplished something last night that I have wanted to do on Destiny for a while: solo the Crota raid start to finish. The previous attempts were actually one of the reasons I quit for a while, due to the bugginess in the raid / boss fight and the game in general (sometimes Gjallarhorn doesn't break off into wolfpack rounds for some reason). Anyway I gave it another shot now at level 34 and almost got him in two swords...my sword disappeared mid swipe literally on the last hit to kill him! It's a little bittersweet that I did it at the new level cap and not the old one, but on easy mode I'm not doing any more damage than I do as a level 32 anyway, I just have a little more dmg protection. I didn't get a video of it or anything, I was just glad I finally beat the boss fight on normal mode. I'm not even going to attempt it on hard, but I have soloed through to the Ir Yut portion on hard mode before.

House of Wolves / Prison of Elders definitely seems like an afterthought now that I've had a chance to beat its end game content as well. I found myself liking it only because it was finally something new to do. I do like that you can bring your old gear up to the new damage / armor cap (365dmg Fatebringer and Gjallarhorn are pretty much king) but I think I can pretty much walk away from the game for a while again. I got a new exotic weapon quest that is a random drop from the highest level PoE event so I will probably crush that out and ascend a few more weapons so that I am set for the next expansion. Ironically, for the most part the weapons from the Vault of Glass (first raid) are still some of the best in the game...I got the queen's shotgun "Her Courtesy" and even after rerolling its perks it is maybe right on par with Found Verdict once they're both maxed out. I can confirm that an ascended 365 Found Verdict is a BEAST
