So today i beat the Nightfall in under 30 minutes, easy as hell, a lot of people have done it this week though there are those that struggle, both solo and in a full team. While i was doing the weekly heroic i came across a nice little spot that minimizes hassle from both the Boss and the Adds he spawns, i got to thinking "I wonder if i can use that in Nightfall"
Since the Nightfall was my next step anyways i figured why not, if i die then ahh well, no biggie, but sure as shit it worked like a charm, from this position you can get the boss down fast, I'm talking stupid fast. Timing from the first shot fired to the kill shot i clocked in at 1 Minute and 35 Seconds, though i have no doubt somebody with rockets could wreck him faster.
This method would work for both Teams and Solo players i think, though i'd recommend only one team member use that spot, otherwise you're drawing way too much attention to yourselves.
The death at the end was a complete derp on my part, since the boss went down i figured the enemies would de-spawn like they always do, but that skiff just wanted me dead, luckily enough since it happened after the boss went down, it still counted as a completion.
Enjoy before it get's fixed!

If you go to the right of where he spawns in if you're looking at him there's a little platform. If you look closely there's an opening to get under the platform. If you go to the back corner of the platform there is an area where the ground covers most of your body. The boss will line up right infront of the platform and it's free reign to unload into his head until dead. If you take a few shots you can just back up or crouch until you heal. Your spot is good but this one is definitely faster. Can probably take him out sub 1 minute in this spot. Here's a video of someone showing the spot.
