Hello my fellow Junkies!
Since Destiny was released in September, I have almost completely stopped playing all other games and the backlog of games to play continues to pile up. This is my problem. But it also speaks to another problem of mine and I'm asking for your support to rectify. You see, aside from being as CHEESY as Pliny's homeland, I am also a Trophy Wh0re. The one trophy in Destiny that alludes me is the Flawless Raider trophy. That means the entire team has to complete a raid without dying once.
If anyone else is interested in achieving this trophy with me, reply in the comments. I'd like to build a mixed team that is willing to practice 2 or 3 runs a week if time/schedules permit. This is a little different from Raid Night on Reset Tuesdays. This will take a little commitment and planning if we want results. Dare I say it, sobriety is probably a valuable asset too. If there is a petition to kick me out of the clan for making that outrageous statement, know that I will hang my head in shame and leave quietly! Take comfort in the fact that I will have to drown my sorrows and shame with beer.
Here is a basic outline of my strategy <suggestions are VERY welcome> (normal mode Crota's End raid):
1. Lamps: Send 1 Hunter that is a stealth specialist by themselves all the way to the bridge checkpoint. Soloing this part with a hunter is fairly straightforward, though boring for the rest of the raid team
2. Bridge: NO CHEESING! Send a striker titan across first to set up flashbang grenades, get another titan over with a bubble (blessing of light). Mix up the rest of the crossing, try to leave the strongest/sturdiest guardians to cross over last, trying to snipe/rocket support the last 2 guardians that need to cross by themselves.
3. Shrieker Corridor: No racing for the chest, have two teams, one for thrall cleanup, one for killing the shriekers - shriekers re-spawn so while being careful, we still have to move quickly.
4. Deathsinger: normal strategy, send 2 runners, stay safe above the ogre rooms, 2 more runners to kill the shriekers (send in Ghorns for 1 shot kills). Slowly enter the left room to thin out enemies, pop some blessing of lights for extra protection
5. Crota: normal strategy, everyone on their toes, and we send out our most beastmode hunter - Pat?? Sorry Pliny, you're not ready for that role yet! I'd spread out the team. Have some on the ledge, some on the ground below. Yesterday my rockets kept hitting someone else's rocket. Two problems with that, 1, it almost blew me up, 2, we are not getting the damage we want on Crota's shield
I don't expect to achieve this on my first attempt and anyone who's interested needs to pack their patience. One overly aggressive boomer knight or Crota deciding that even though you are invisible, still slices you into next week can blow the whole op.
So let me know what you think and if you're interested.
I'll edit as people show interest, nothing set in stone:
1. Gas - Hunter - Lamp Runner
2. McLeewee - Titan - General support/firepower
3. Pliny - ??? - Tension breaker, Gas antagonist - Damn It Pliny
4. Pat - Hunter - Killer of Crota
5. zzdx79 - ??
6. Skysoldier107 - ??

FLAWLESS!!!! Boom! Got my flawless trophy last nite... Here's what we did. 1 hunter 2 Titans 3 warlocks The hunter ran both the lamps and sword. Abyss - simple ... Hunter runs and everyone else has a dance off. Bridge - activated the plate and everyone stood on a pillar. One person builds the bridge by jumping over the synch plate from pillar to pillar. Kill sword bearer and send the hunter across. The plan was to get 3 across and send the Titans to the roof to trigger the other side but it glitched and a second sword bearer never spawned so we got everyone to the roof and sniped from there. Hallway - kill the first shrieked from the circular room. Wait for purple orbs of death to go away. Run in, clear room, kill second shrieked and retreat back to the circular room. Proceed as normal Death singer - warlock pulls both witches and pre designated teams head to the towers. Kill the witches. Gallarjorn the shriekers and everyone gather on the left. Titans, wearing helm of st 14 pop bubbles. One just outside the room and the other on the opposite side. Blind the death singer while at it if possible. Kill her, retreat and clear all ads. Crota - we are used to this one. Center strat. Invis hunter to sword bear, one boomer control, everyone else gallarjorn or hunger him. 2 swords and he's down.
