Here's our Crota 2 sword kill

From the beginning if you want to see the initial setup (Titans with Alpha Lupi FTW)
From the start of the interesting stuff

The general rule of thumb I followed for damaging him was,

First shieldbreak: R1-R1-R2, R1-R1-R2, R2
Second shieldbreak: R1-R1-R2, R1-R2-Super cancel (first sword round I messed this up, basically did R1-Super-R2 instead, but it worked out)

However, the most important thing is keeping an eye on his health. Assuming you have tons of time on the sword like we did, you do not want him to enrage after the third sword. You want to get him as close as possible, i.e. ~25%. It doesn't actually matter how much damage you do on the first two swords, as long as he's below 50% by the third sword you're on track to kill by enraging him during the fourth. edit: if he doesn't die, at this point you call for a third shieldbreak- MORE than enough time left on the sword as seen in this video. You want the swordbearer to die in exactly the area he did for us here.

Because you get the super on the second shield break each time, all the damage is backloaded, so you really don't have to worry about the individual amounts per break so much as getting him to the right point on the edge of enrage before your final sword attempt.

Basically, if you do all the damage possible on the first two swords, you can actually get him to the point where you'd just want to "skip" the third shieldbreak (in other words just wait, get the orbs and stay in safety until your super's up) and then finish him on the "fourth" without every having done a third (so three shield breaks total). Otherwise, you may need to do just a couple of R1s, an R2, or whatever it takes on the third shield break- in this case I had a fair bit of damage to go so I went for basically the full combo.

Absolutely, full rooms of juicy targets...

ahahah seriously that was a bit of a handicap. shame, forgot about that detonation move XD

You actually did R1-R1-R2 x2 and R1-Super-R2 (same as R1-R2-super) for the second shield break, however your post said that you only did R1-R1-R2 once in the second shield break. Also the damage you did is equal to eight R2s, it's possible to get there even without a super and just do eight R2s, but even with super you can just slam three R2s the first shield break and R2-R2-R2-Super for the second and you'll get him down to roughly the same health (or four R2s the first break and 2 R2s for the second and a super).

You can also get three shield breaks in the first sword itself and do 70% damage and get him down in the next two sheilf breaks
There are several ways to do it and none is the "right" way, just what suits your style. I just like to play it safe and do it in three swords because everyone knows how to deal with shrek now.

 

[DrDrizzay101]

^Two sword Scrota is easiest with 3 breaks on the first sword so you don't have to worry about hitting enrage or anything else, just do a normal 2-break second sword. If it's fun for people they should try it but there's no reason to bother if you just want to kill him. Killing Ogres is super simple and 2 swords only shaves a few minutes off the encounter time. People have been doing 2 sword kills as Lv31 since less than a week after normal mode was released. Total HP and damage scaling is exactly the same as a Lv32 for hard now, it's functionally identical. Even the health-enrage doesn't affect anything that the team has to do.

To your last point, this was about seeing if we could do it in two swords. We planned on wiping if we couldn't do it in two and just starting over until we took him down that way. Sure, three swords is safer, but that wasn't the point.

Yeah if it's fun for people they should definitely give it a go. 2 sword hard kills, 1 sword normal kills, w/e. Goodness knows long-time players like us need to make our own "content" at this point. I'm the asshole who still wants to solo Templar using only the relic to do damage (hard mode is still probably a pipe dream but normal mode is totally do-able).

It's your group and you should totally do whatever you want, but a mic really isn't mandatory for anything in this game as long as they can hear voice comms (unless they are totally new to the fight, then a mic would be very useful). I only mention it because lots of people either can't or don't feel comfortable using a mic but might still be a valuable team member. Of course people making groups can and should set their own stipulations, my post is more just a general PSA than specifically directed at you.

Yup. Gotta keep things interesting. We also had a couple inebriated folks in that video (me being one) so that made it extra-hard mode and therefore extra impressive. Ha.

Outside the first two phases of CE, the final mission in the quest is probably my favorite content in TDB. All the tedious crap before it, especially Urzok, is annoying but worth doing at least once I'd say.

Regarding my posts about the HotPF from yesterday, I found this on GameFAQs:

Results without the heart of the praxic fire equipped
- 100% discipline (324), no radiant will - 7 grenades
- 100% discipline (324), radiant will perk used - 8 grenades
- 100% discipline (324), no radiant will, gift of the sun (two grenades) equipped - 8 grenades
- 100% discipline (324), radiant will, gift of the sun (two grenades) equipped - 9 grenades* (You almooooost can get a tenth out, by argument with a quicker finger you may actually say ten can get out), however after 25 tries i came to the conclusion 10 came in right after the radiance ended.

Results while wearing the heart of the praxic fire
- 100% discipline (330), no radiant will - 8 grenades
- 100% discipline (330 ), radiant will perk used - 10 grenades
- 100% discipline (330), no radiant will, gift of the sun (two grenades) equipped- 9 grenades
- 100% discipline (330), radiant will, gift of the sun (two grenades) equipped - 11 grenades

This matches my own observations. HotPF gives you one extra grenade per use of Radiance. Disappointing. I'd rather use Sunbreakers or Starfire Protocol.

It's still pretty formidable with Song of Flame. Praxic stacks with it and gives even more reduced cooldowns for allies. It's the best support exotic for Warlocks and one of the best overall.
