Bad things happen whenever Brad uses his jet pack.
I don't blame the man.

so they have to defend the confluxes from the rushing fanatics. if too many get through then they all wipe.
this section they're in now, they have to kill those oracles that appear. if one isn't taken out in about 10 seconds, the whole party is marked for negation. you have to do several waves of this, afterwards you can move on to the next section. you don't fight that boss here.
You kill the adds until the relic appears. Then someone has to pick up the relic and use it to disable the shield of the boss. While they are doing this they need to take out he Oracles or they basically instantly kill you.
Edit: Oh you are right stump the relic section is after this.

this part is no joke if you're not playing smart. they need to break up the team into left, right, and center. left and right both have 3 oracle spawns to manage and mid has 2. Those harpies are nothing to be ignored either.
ultimately the major differences lie in specials and grenades. basically just a variety of things that give you brief advantages like more damage, bubble shields, etc. all classes can use all weapons.

Throw a special grenade, pound the ground, and get a fiery pistol.
At least, that's the only differences I got from the Beta/Alpha.

As a Level 26 Destiny player who has never played this Raid, this does not seem fun.
I had more fun soloing the Weekly Strike myself yesterday.

Brad doing work on those oracles. go get 'em, Rudds.
but seriously, there's no reason why one person should be taking out 4 oracles by themselves in one wave.

The raid is the definitely the most fun I've had in the game, and I bet more than 90% of people who've done it will agree. Watching it is doesn't come close to actually playing it.
I cleared this with not a single void walker. Sunsinger is way more useful because of the revive.

yeah it's super stressful. But these guys are running around and panicking which isn't helping. Still, they're doing pretty good all things considered.
This part suuuuuucks.
That revive can be super clutch here because normally you can't revive yourself.
Later in the raid there's a section where some players have to go into other dimensions and being able to revive themselves is HUGE.
Oh cool. Good to know. I'm learning alot in this thread! Keep em' comin'!
I loved the raid. Didn_t even think it was that hard until Atheon.

my chat isn't working. I hope someone tells Brad that those oracles are going to just keep spawning and they should take down the shields as fast and frequently as possible.

they need to stay back from the templar. you can seriously take out the shields from the other side of the map.

Ahh, none of their sunsingers have Fireborn (self rez) yet

Have you tried the blocking teleport method yet? My group haven't had a chance to try it ourselves, but if you can get 1 person on each of the 5 potential teleport locations, you can keep the boss from teleporting, spawning more oracles and regenerating his shield. Only thing I'm confused on is do we have to stay on that spot constantly or can we move to try to damage the boss?

YES

Its not that bad (there will be a much worse part later ;D). But yeah the strategy my team did was everyone huddle together into the back left corner of the map and hid where the hob used to spawn. Guy with relic would come back to us, cleanse when necessary and fire the super to strip the boss' shield. The rest of us would just snipe the boss' eye and clear harpies when they get close.
Nah I haven't. My groups have always just cheesed him by jumping to one of the far platforms the hobgoblins snipe from, and we just kill the boss from there.
The worst thing is the guy with the relic did something that falsely reaffirmed their bad idea of having to run right up to the Templar's face. Now they're committed to a really bad strategy and who knows what it'll take for them to try it the right way.
