Im kinda looking forwards to getting back on. Cant say i have played pve for over 3 weeks now. Not a single nightfall has been done. Im running a little low on motes of light after i spent 400 trying to get the chest piece for the warlock. I managed to get it but it took its toll.
Primary i use: Word of crota (void), Jewel of Osiris (arc), The Scholar (Solar), Messenger (arc)
Secondary: Astral Horizon (void)
Heavy : Gjallahorn
Im still rocking The last word for a primary in PVP but do switch to thorn if the other team are all using it.
As for snipers i have always used Praedyths revenge but after finding a little bit of info on the different i snipers have started to switch.

Have a read as according to the above link PR is a tier 3 sniper, i have a Low Grade Humidity that has the perfect role on it and i have to admit in the last ToO i was getting some amazing headshots with very little effort. Reading the whole link and some of the comments at the bottom explains how the aim assist works with snipers and how you can stack perks.
