But I was poking around the right spot on the normal mode. Knowing a room to a strike is back there made me suspicious of it, especially since the door that is down to block you in the normal mode version of this mission looks kind of weird. Maybe it always looks like that, but it seemed suspicious to me somehow.

Hindsight is 20/20?

Heh, probably likely.

If you want some detective work, figure all this out:

Motes of light leveling gear has been the Destiny invention of the year. Honestly, it's the best thing ever.

I don't even have time for that. Leveling gear is most of the time un-necessary right now, except with things like St-14 bubble or New BH White Nail perk, so I just let it happen naturally. I grab bounties every day and turn in the ones that I do without even trying.

It takes too long to level up with motes even though I have a ridiculous number of them... I wish you could turn in like 50 at once to get more leveling done faster. Dismantling one at a time is painful for the stupid low amount of EXP you get.

It's alright for lower level folks. Once you're in the 290s they're pretty much only good for marks, unless the weapon has really good perks on it, then you'll want to infuse it up to higher attack values. I'm mostly ranking up the gunsmith so I can get those class specific exotics.

Yep. Once I get my Fabian (just need to dismantle 1 more leg or 2 more rares) my care level with ranking up the Gunsmith will plummet especially after I got screwed outta my packages this morning.

75 marks. What about an exotic weapon, got any 3 of Coins? Xur is likely to be carrying one of some sort on Friday at least...

Reaaaaally. Hmm.

These guys beat it with 2 and with time to spare actually, but they're 301 and 302: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfETn2Ox1Ds&feature=youtu.be

They pretty much kept some DPS on the boss throughout the fight. One of them also took a big chunk of the boss' health right up front with the sword.

Question, how much time are you guys hitting the final room with? These guys have 6:11 remaining.

Something I didn't notice until recently, they're not in the darkness zone. At one point they both died at the boss and just waited for respawn timer.

Why, people think there's ANOTHER exotic at rank 5. Could be the First Curse for everyone or maybe there's two more unknown exotics hiding in there.

Yeah. Dunno why he said that. Asked though, but got no reply yet.

His advice was to first waste the boss, then clear the room with black orbs as priority targets. They had like 1:30 left.

Anyone want to put together an Oryx raid or need one? I'm experienced, have CP at Oryx.

I use it to level weapons primarily and that happens supper fast with telemetries.

I noticed that too. I wonder if suiciding rushing the boss with swords and respawning might actually be viable. You only lose about 10 seconds each time I guess.

That's what we did. I think it depends on your fire teams strengths. There doesn't seem to be one surefire way of doing the mission that will work for everyone. Light level, load outs, and class combination is important to take into consideration when choosing a strategy for the fight since there is no mechanic.

We also all died once and didn't wipe, we were able to re-spawn. Don't think the darkness zone thing is working properly. Didn't beat it that time anyway.

Certainly wouldn't be a bad way to start the fight while adds aren't too bad, then revert to sniping him down. Punch him with a sunbro first for increased damage.

That might work. My strategy against the Level 42 shield brothers for example was Ahamkara grasps, invis smoke bomb, rush with 4th horseman and get out... be praying. Their health bar went down at an alarming rate each rush.

But I haven't tried this mission yet. It does look like a pain.

That version of the strike has specialist modifier tho.

Wait, what? Maintenance?! NoooOooOoO! It needs to get back up before I get home!

Edit: I really should try to not obsess over destiny again. This isn't healthy. lol

I'll give it a few more shots at the Spindle, but I'll try and play somehting else after that.

Well, finished my sword quest and got to 300!

My tip to anyone doing the end of the sword quest, your warden needs to die before Alak-hul. When he dies they despawn.

I suicide sword killed the boss on my run this morning. Only did it once though when his health was getting low-ish. The sword was really crucial for mopping up the adds quickly too.
