It's not even a "get gud" thing. That's just me pretending I'm korny. Just, if you're gonna do it the easy way do it the easy way, not the half-assed "guys we broke the fight, we're so smart" way.

Unless the Thrall really are giving you trouble. In which case... Get gud ;)

But in regular mode, I will say that one gazing just isn't as fun for me. Pulling off a good two-gaze run with all the Light pools dropping in order is just a great experience for me, and one gaze is much, much less fun, personally.

I guess if it's really super difficult, and the fireteam is just focused on getting through the encounter, it definitely sounds like it works. Just . . . I don't know, it seems like a disappointing method to do it.

If you guys die to the add waves between damage rounds, I don't think you should be calling one gaze users bad at the game.

Golgoroth is a very small change but one I quite like. Apparently you can still one-gaze him if you're bad at Destiny though, which astounds me. Shan't spoil the sisters but you could be forgiven for not noticing the change. Oryx is kind of a dick, but I feel like it's mostly just the gear check rather than the new mechanics - the damage reduction is brutal.

One gaze is the ideal pattern, I think. Using multiple gazes you're vulnerable to the bad guys at the bottom since you're staying down there for so long. No revives makes it a much easier solution. Since losing guys in hard mode can ruin a run, you must choose a strategy that has a smaller likelihood of death. That's one gaze.

This makes me sad.

Bur seriously, we killed the Warpriest faster than we've ever done it before. Didn't even realise there was a new mechanic until he was practically dead.

Same. We didn't change anything.

To be fair, we had to completely change our Warpriest strategy on hard mode.

Up your DpS bro :p

Not everybody in the group had a good sniper. We problem solved instead of just geared up :-p

Or the tomb ship puzzle without the meaningless checkpoint? Brutal.

What if each show had an invulnerable taken phalanx riding on top?

Ha!

Heck, there were quite a few good ideas floating around on here!

Having to switch sides at the pre-Warpriest doorway unlocking, a gaze-holder debuff at Golgoroth, etc.

Nobody liked my idea for snipers on the hive ship section :-(

We only had one death on our fireteam.

Everything I've seen makes it pretty in line with what VoG was with Hard Mode, which seems fine to me. I guess maybe Bungie oversold what the experience was going to be, but I still think there's a fundamental problem with people not tempering their expectations of things.

To be fair, we had to completely change our Warpriest strategy on hard mode. At least there the mechanic added was small, but it had a fairly large impact. Golgoroth's was small, and everything before that was pretty much exactly the same. Can't vouch for singers / Oryx since we haven't gotten there.

It is nowhere near the "something special" that they sold it as, but still super fun.

Probablylast is just making fun of it. He said he likes it. I also like it. Better than Crota for sure.

It's sarcasm.

No, I totally got that!

I probably shouldn't have replied to his post specifically; I was meaning to comment more on the the thread in general (and on the discussions I've seen on reddit).
