Young Ahamkara's Spine worth it? get now or save for next week

Im a lvl 26 hunter and i have 16 strange coins which i am saving to hopefully buy an exotic auto rifle from xur such as the suros regime. i know i probably need 23 strange coins to even buy a weapon but thats not the problem. my question is should i buy the Young Ahamkara's Spine gauntlets that he is selling today for 13 and get the strange coins again for next week or should i just save my strange coins for next week and hope he sells an exotic auto rifle. right now my gauntlets are only rare because i didn't have enough crucible marks to buy gauntlets and a gun so i could definitely use them im just wondering if their worth buying and going to do the weekly over and over till i collect all the strange coins and playing crucible for hours on end hoping to get rewarded one. or the nightfall any help would be great.

  • imo u should save your coins since you only have 16. I had 73 before I bought stuff this am and haven't even done the weeklies on two of my characters since I have been spending most of my time on iron banner. I did buy it but that's because I have so many coins and not much else left to get. Save your coins!! The reason I say that is because if you do not have Icebreaker and it pops up for sale next week and you can't buy it then you will regret it. Everyone I know who let it go by last time is kicking themselves. It is gamechanging for nightfall, weeklies, strikes of any kind, and even the raid. It is far more important than Suros Regime or Hardlight. I have two Regimes and I hardly use them because mostly I rock a legendary Hand Cannon with thirteen rounds and Icebreaker (which will even regenerate ammo for other special weapons like Patience and Time/Praedyth's Revenge or any of your fusion rifles). Suros is a great gun but get it later. It is dropping all over the place and will surely come back to Xur who has a limited inventory. As far as Hunter exotics YAS is not that great. Lucky Raspberry is better, Mask of 3rd Man is better, Knucklehead Radar is better. Just wait.

  • I looked at your hunter and in your situation you should buy it, you would the have full legendary and exotic armour. With that you can get to level 29 easy

  • I would go for it because it is the piece you are missing. Also, what are the stats on it? Does it boost intellect, discipline, or strength?

    • Yea, just get it. I bought them and I don't even have a hunter yet. i have almost all the armor for every character just in case.

    • Since it's the piece you are missing, I would get them, you can always get more coins. If you get the gauntlet and level all up you can get to lvl 29.

    • Get them. They are amazing looking, and even if you don't run slinger, they have great stats

    • If I were you as you're short of coins I'd roll the dice. IMO exotic armour are only beneficial as a missing component in Raid gear to get you up to 30 (unless they have specific perks that you like). But until you get Raid gear you don't know what you'll be missing and therefore requiring. As the helmet is the most rare item of Raid gear I'd get that if it comes in (that's what I did and now I've got all Raid expect Helmet), if not avoid gear. If the Suros comes in then get that if you wish, however don't waste your limited coins on exotics. Be patient in getting to level 30 as I expect Raid gear will become more common the closer the DLC comes.

      • I'd get the gauntlets to help you level up. It will make it so you can run the weekly heroic and get 9 strange coins much easier giving you a better shot in the future of earning coins to get the gun you want.

      • If you use trip mines and destroy with them? Great exotic.

        • If you're on xbox one, id be happy to carry you through the weekly 28 and nightfall to maximize your rewards. For future, if you plan to continue playing this game, i recommend making 3 guardians, so that you can get at least 27 strange coins per week just from doing the lvl 28 weekly on each character. Additionally, You also get to do nightfall 3 time, giving you 3 times the rewards. Finally, you can also then do vault of glass 3 times per week for each difficulty! Doesnt matter if you make 3 hunters, 1 of each class, 2 hunters and a titan, or whatever you want.

            • It looks so cool but the perks are a turn off i say if you got spare coins buy it but if not keep your coins for next week

            • He sold a primary two weeks in a row so I don't think he'll have one next week. The young ahamkara's spine is my favorite hunter exotic and I use it on my hunter. I do it mostly for the looks but if you use gunslinger it's pretty legit.
