STOP racing through the Strikes if you actually want Legendary Rewards

It's getting to be a common thing now during the Lvl 24 Strikes that I see these kids race as fast as they can through the Strike usually hopping on their speeder bypassing the first several mobs of lower level enemies which is fine but then they continue on and bypass as many of the Lvl 24 enemies as they can just to get to the final boss quicker. Why? The boss gives you nothing and your chances of getting anything worthwhile from the end game roll are poor odds for the amount of time it takes to complete each Strike. Your best shot of getting a Legendary Engram drop or at least multiple blue Engrams to give you a chance at Legendary gear and to rank up the Cryptarch is to kill every Lvl 24 enemy up to the boss because that is where all of my Legendary Engrams have come from and I get at least half of my blue Engrams from Mob drops to go along with what I get in the end game roll. The Lvl 24 Tiger Strikes since the last patch appear to have a higher drop rate than the normal game modes at least in the areas you're facing Lvl 24 enemies, and so bypassing them to finish the Strike faster is just decreasing your chance of getting multiple drops. There's little other reason to be grinding Lvl 24 Strikes in that manner because you can earn Vanguard rep faster farming Patrols, Vanguard Marks faster farming Public Events, and if you need a bunch of Strikes for a Bounty run the Lvl 8 Devil's Lair on Earth and get them done quick. So don't be that guy that runs way out ahead of everyone else. Don't waste you and your teammates chances for more Legendary/Exotic drops. It doesn't take but an extra 5 minutes or so to clear out all the Lvl 24 enemies your bypassing between you and the Boss when you do it as a group.

  • Here's your logic in a nutshell: Take 30 minutes to kill every mob plus the boss for one strike. Slightly higher chance of engram drop because of it, but you give no solid evidence that they will in fact drop what you claim. I understand the higher chance rate, but there is no conclusive evidence to back your statement, nor does it guarantee you will end up with more rare/legendary engrams for killing irrelevant enemies. Now here's the counter-argument: You take 30 minutes on a single strike with no guarantees on X amount of engrams, finish the strike and are rewarded with 2 rare engrams or items. Now in that same time, I speed run and can finish almost 3 strikes in that same period of time. If you've been following along, that equals 6 rare (or better) items that I WILL be getting. When I speed run I still have to kill the level 24 boss mobs and there are a ton of enemies... Multiply that by 3 and the answer will show you that you're undoubtably a moron for making a thread to cry about ppl you are matched with because you fail to have 2 friends to play the game with you.. Grow up and think before you speak
