Tried a new strategy [for me] in CE today from a raidmates recommendation. Pretty much be on top of the left staircase, left rock, Hunter smash, rinse and repeat with the center room for Ogre hour.
A little more difficult to get the timing right in jumping up as Crota can be at the opposite end of the center platform or in perfect position to just immediately jump up and throw down, but it's a solid one. Did have a brief scare when Crota rose quickly and immediately sliced me, but overall I'm more confident in my role when sword bearer.
Raid spoils weren't anything to write home about. Earlier I received Shards and No Land Beyond from Chest 1. Picked up shards and arm piece (already own) rewards 1. Shards at chest 2. Song of Ir Yut (already own) and shards as final rewards. Once the other 3 armor pieces drop I should have a good start. Someone received hyperhorn.
I'll post the vid when it's up.
DJ_Lushious, Lazykarl24, arekussu77, Wrath_and_Fury, and SharkJAW: good game since I left the Raid before saying so due to the video edit.
