Raiding, to blind or not to blind (Destiny)

It's why Argos is my favorite encounter since there aren't many "ah you forgot to flip the switch" moments while it's this dance with all the other members of your team that allows for some improvisation/heroics.


FWIW, the new raid is all about the dance. There are constant opportunities to improvise and correct when someone makes a mistake.

Maybe we were doing it wrong, but there are a couple of places where a mistake meant a guaranteed wipe.

Example: Final fight, crystals. You've got what... 10 seconds? If you get there, don't destroy the crystal, and one of the pair dies, there isn't enough time to recover. Guaranteed wipe. No recovery possible. (I mentioned this to someone last night, and they said they hadn't had any trouble with that - even if someone died, "another pair could come over and sub in." Our experience directly contradicted that solution; with 3 or 4 seconds left on the clock, it didn't matter HOW fast you could run, you couldn't get to the crystal before time ran out.

::shrug::

If the solution is "don't die during the crystals"... I guess this raid isn't for me.
