Most of us were running with the VoC or the Fatebringer last night and then combos of GGhorns, IB, Truths, Hezens, CMes. I might try out the Thunderlord this time out for our 2nd clear. And the occasional solar fusion rifle. You typically don't want to be anywhere close to any mob other than a thrall, and even then you better be quick to take him out. Best fusion i used and compared my solar Perun to my Foil from VoG, the foil was better even with the slightly lower charge time due to the glass half full perk and most of all, the 95 impact rating that was able to stagger the Knights.
The only shields inside the raid are solar. No need to worry about arc. Now for nightfall I heard that it's all Arc.
