Valus Ta’Aurc is getting nerfed. (Destiny)
...among other changes to strikes, in the BWU:

Disappointed that there's no mention of changes in the Undying Mind strike. Guess I'll still be heading to orbit whenever that one comes up in rotation.
There's also a stealth announcement for the date of 1.1.2 if you pay attention.
Undying Mind
I remember seeing the stats, and Undying mind is by far the least finished strike. People quit it like crazy. It takes the longest. I didn't see any mention of changes to it.
Why?
I like that strike.
The boss fight is a little boring but at least this one moves compared to the nexus.
The only thing that really pisses me off is the section where you begin to ascend the stairs.
That hallway is FILLED with yellow bar Vex. You should be able to earn the CRAP outta some glimmer or axiomatic beads or polyphages, but none of those enemies drop anything.
It's dumb that they set it that way.
You just answered your own question.

Valus Ta’Aurc is getting nerfed?
Say whaaaa? I must be in the minority here, because I find him pretty easy. Worse is that he's kinda bland. Maybe that's why some folks don't finish him.

I'm not disappointed as I just had to google what the hell Undying Mind even was. :P

That Hallway is a blast, because you generate insane amounts of orbs... And all of the yellow Vex during the boss fight (and there are many) generate glimmer. That strike gives you tons of glimmer and Engrams, and the boss fight is actually interesting in that he moves around while mobs spawn intermittently...
People are stupid for quitting it just because one area doesn't drown you with glimmer. (Heck, if it did, they'd quit right after that part was over.)
Valus Ta’Aurc is getting nerfed?
I agree that he's not hard, but boy is he boring as hell.
He moves just enough to take a lot longer to kill him than Sekrion, but still far too little to be anything but a drag. The complete lack of cover between the two covered sections almost forces you to camp, as well.
Woo! They brought back the ban-hammer!

My money is on June.
Valus Ta’Aurc is getting nerfed?
Yup. I wish they had nerfed Omnigul too. Without a burn that fight sometimes takes as long as the rest of the strike. I like the rest of the strike, but that end fight drags on and on sometimes.
Undying Mind
I think the undying mind is okay, but not great. It's paced differently than the other strikes, and you need to approach it differently. I agree with Korny, the hallway with all the yellow guys can be really fun if you're playing with decent people. It's made for orb chaining, and isn't all that hard if people do that.
I already don't see it very often, so I'm not too concerned about it.
Funny to me that valuus is getting nerfed. That one si longer, but generally fairly easy. He does have too much health, that's probably a good change, especially on the harder difficulties.
Heh, about that Omnigul...
Just ran it with JDQuackers on Roc playlist and we had a blast chaining Ward of Dawns and Nova Bombs on the landing she usually camps. Saint-14 is a must, though.
I love that one. *NM*
Undying Mind is tops! ;;thumbs up;;

People do that wrong just like they do Phogoth wrong.
1. Kill all the ads
2. Go in, stun Omnigul with a grenade or Abyss Defiant
3. Lay into her
4. When ads reappear, go back, and kill ads
5. Repeat
Even with no burn, if you go through that 4 or 5 times you should have her.
Similarly for Phogoth, especially on nightfalls, you should skip the shrieker room entirely. Go out, kill all the ads. Lay into Phogoth, and if a burn is on, he'll easily die before a ship arrives.
