he can make good use of the Talon and Hurricane.

"Good use" is fine, but if you have the Pirahna/Reegar and PPR/Harrier/Typhoon, why would you bother?

I'm not going to denounce the Talon or Hurricane, because they're both awesome weapons, but on the Destroyer? He's a character who, as Kyerea said, is built to carry the big guns and become a wall of never-ending firepower.

a tablespoon of kickassitude and a pinch of awesome goes a long way.

trying to kill two banshees by yourself with no rockets as a shadow in a gold match is probably one of the toughest things i have had to do while playing this game. like having your hands tied together with shoelaces, placed in a paperbag, and dumped into a pool....then having to fight your way out of it.

Inorite? Infiltrators have such terrible DPS ...

Acolyte with Phasic Round--Problem solved.

Acolyte does not need Phasic rounds as it has an innate 500% damage bonus to shields/barriers. That said, you can still use them if you want, but you won't be getting as much value out of them. Try Warp or Incendiary instead if you want to try something else.

edit: for shield regen delay + prime for TB, use disruptor rounds.

Remember the London Mantis match? Boy do we wished we had an Acolyte back there. Hahaha

The thing is that the hurrdurricane/talon benefit more from DM bonuses than harrier for example. Not having to worry about cooldown means you can equip whatever you want. Whether that means light weapons or heavy weapons is up to you. And a hurrdurricane with +25% accuracy and RoF is no laughing matter when you can land consecutive headshots with it.

Banshees have a damage threshold that must be hit before they stop jumping...supposedly. It seems like there are times where these b-----s just don't stop jumping until they feel like it.

That's moreso on plat rather than gold for me. Although it still happens on gold, just a rare occurence.

Run to the long ramp leading to the basement and kite them there. Walk up and down or circle them to avoid being slapped. Their only offense is nova and maybe warp.

[Creator Limbs]

The thing is that you shouldn't need "the right teammates" to make a kit work for you.

This game is co-op, sure, but let's be honest it hasn't actually been co-op in a long time.

[Beerfish]

Glacier is a horrible horrible map for most pug groups, one of the worst.

[nokori3byo]

OP here. Back with some random observations:

The problem with the Destroyer vs. Banshees is, with no dodge ability, he's always on his heels. I used to stand my ground and try to one clip them back when I first started playing Gold, but wound up getting synch-killed quite a bit. On a plus side, with a decent Cyclonic, he's beefy enough to laugh off a warp or two.

I hadn't planned on doing a lot of clutching last night and if I had I'd have used a TGI or Huntress. Still, I did better than I would have expected, given my lack of preparation.

The squad I had was miserable even by PUG standards. Total Leeroy Jenkins synch-kill hand puppets. I actually turned the corner at one point to see two of them getting synched by two separate Banshees. Must have clutched at least four times before we finally scrubbed in 9 after half the team quit. Ugh. Just a rocket or two would have softened me immeasurably toward them but no...

mmm maybe you should have saved a rocket or 2 for just this type of situation ? I always save 1 for the EZ because pugs

Phasic is the answer if you're talking about stopping shield regen. Situationally though if just two Banshees hold that stair case by load in and chop them biznitches down. Ramp is handy as well but some times you can get knocked back and then picked up. Those stairs they can't really get beside you unless you try to get on the same level.

[Titus Thongger]

warp + incendiary ammo wheeee

[Computron2000]

This will sound strange. Turn off your DM. After shooting the 2 down, turn it back on. As you get used to soloing waves, you'll find that you won't need to turn off DM any more

Also better to have DM turned off if Banshees teleporting towards you and turn back on when at distance

[dosomethinguseful]

If you can position yourself so that at least 1 banshee will make several jumps straight at you, your Typhoon will be much more effective. Coming up the long thin ramp, the raised area by the LZ, and by the nook are probably your best bet.

[Stinja]

Turn off DM, find a ramp, shoot until they're (or one) is close, then play close-combat so she tries to slap you, you jump back - shoot repeat.

Alternatively don't get in that situation to start with... Save a missile or two, keep PUGs up etc.

[holdenagincourt]

I remember that exact situation happening to me on Glacier before the ramp solution had been popularized.

I also don't think I had consumables on at the time, and I distinctly recall trying to whittle down their shields for at least five minutes with an underleveled Electric Slash.

[JewelsWinnfield]

Ramp.

Better. Certified badass doesn't have that many Platinum waves. I guess he got tired of outscoring ppl by 300k.
