25% is the vertical of the letter k in "Skolas"
50% is the center of the letter a in "Skolas"
75% is the vertical of the letter K in "Kell"

I'll whip up an image later.

Try to send out a self revive warlock. In my experience, this works great, and saves us almost every time. Another option is to leave the self revive guy with the taint at the right platform hole while the two others go to the far spots. It will take the adds a little while to get to you. When the right platform mine shows up, self revive warlock (who should have died with the taint) can revive and dismantle that mine while Skolas and bad guys are making their way to the opposite side of the map at glacial speed. This works, but requires planning and shit.

So, if you're as averse to planning as I am, make sure you have a self revive warlock with you to make sure you can have a little oopsie and still recover.

Slycrel, Peaks & I just eyeballed his health, cleared all the adds just before mines (50% & 25%) and then, all sticking together, ran out of our hidey hole, burned him & all hit the mines together, while passing the debuff between us, and then hiding again in our little hole on the right. Admittedly, this was last week when the modifiers weren't too bad. It took us some time, and we were so very close and failed a few times, but we (3 somewhat average players) were able to do it.

Kind of complicated, not sure ill remember all those steps ;)

Seems geared towards this weeks modifiers though.

Skolas takes extra damage from thorn's DOT on primary burn, so it's a great gun to use here.

We've also had luck doing it on the platform so we have a bit of warning when someone is going to pop up and stab us.

The running around method still works as well as it ever has. It's just harder than staying put, IMO

On primary burn, you will likely have to do both sets of mines WITH adds. I'd suggest setting up a very good rotation where you know who goes out based on who has the taint when you set the mines off. They go at 50% and 25%. You will have to eyeball this or keep count of the adds. Counting is hard for me, so we eyeball it generally. Also I have principles where if I think doing something in the game makes me take it too seriously I will refuse to do it no matter the benefit. One of those things is a Crota timer, one of those things is counting Skolas add rounds, and another one of those things is slide shotgunning. Anyway, know exactly what to do ahead of time because it's going to go tits up as soon as the thing starts.

EDIT: here's a map.

Underneath the M at the bottom left is where to hide. It will look like this.

Any advice or video links would be helpful!

Modifiers this week appear to be Small arms and Lightswitch
