5 man flawless raider AMA

Took 2 total attempts at about 1 hour 15 minutes. (lots of talking about game plan before gatekeeper/atheon phase) Just a note on why we chose to do 5 man - For starters it's one less person to worry about dying, as well as the scaling being in our favor as long as we are all level 30 with maxed weapons and know what to do for each section. The only real downside to this is at the gatekeeper where being one man short kind of puts a burden on the team, and at atheon where it takes probably an extra portal run or two with one less person. Number one rule is to stay alive. If you are low then run to a safe spot and let everyone know so they can cover for the time it takes for you to recover your health. Don't just sit there and hope you'll turn out ok, just run if it gets hairy. EDIT 1: Here are the setups we used. All weapons 300 attack. [u][b]Setup 1[/b][/u] [b]Primary:[/b] Suros Regime (The best choice for this particular challenge as of this writing) [b]Special:[/b] Praedyths Revenge [b]Heavy:[/b] Corrective measure (Corrective measure is the best weapon for killing oracles; also does void damage for minotaurs and with 100 round mag it burns through anything it touches) (Pretty much a requirement for solo guarding the central conflux during gatekeeper) [u][b]Setup 2[/b][/u] [b]Primary:[/b] Vision of Confluence (Very strong weapon and great for the adds, but lacks the clutch factor of the suros) [b]Special:[/b] Icebreaker (Niche but strong initial damage; great for burning gatekeeper before letting him move and also perfect for fight with atheon) [b]Heavy:[/b] Corrective Measure (No contest here except possibly a Gjallarhorn swap) EDIT 2: Here are the tactics for each boss. [u][b]Templar[/b][/u] Very simple fight as there is no real risk of anyone getting whacked. Everyone stays back near where the Templar would sit during the conflux phases, using the right and left structures as protection from the Templar (This also gives a good view of all oracles that spawn, which should be exposed of immediately). In this spot the relic holder can melee harpies as they spawn which will allow the relic holder to get his super faster. Also everyone needs to be using their supers on adds when they get them and picking up every orb they can to continue using supers, as this further lets the relic holder use his super faster. You should be able to take down the Templar shield immediately after each teleport using this strategy, allowing you to burn him faster. Of course you can still push him off which technically might be safer in this scenario, but it also takes longer. [u][b]Gatekeeper[/b][/u] You'll need to discuss your plan for the gatekeeper and for atheon before you fight the gatekeeper since you have to fight them back to back with no pause. Once the big boss room door opens, everyone needs to stay inside at the top of the staircase and switch to their snipers. Once everyone is ready, you can burn the gatekeeper in a couple seconds with simultaneous firing. After the gatekeeper is destroyed, everybody needs to go to the left portal and get it activated. Once the left portal is activated, all the initial adds in the room will disappear and more adds will start spawning from the walls instead. Dedicate two people to go in the left portal (preferably with Icebreakers) and they need to burn the gatekeeper with their snipers, with one person leaving the portal before the gatekeeper is actually destroyed. Once the gatekeeper is destroyed, designate someone with a corrective measure to guard the middle conflux. This guardian will sit at the top of the stairs destroying the minotaurs as they spawn, using a heavy ammo pack if needed. He will also need to take out the various adds that spawn behind him. The rest of the guardians need to open the other portal, and use the same strategy that you used for the first portal; two people in to burn gatekeeper with one leaving before it's actually destroyed (you may find it easier to have the relic holder go in here as the second person to clear the adds with the relic). From there the rest of the battle is pretty straightforward. [u][b]Atheon[/b][/u] This battle needs to be played perfect, and hope you don't get a glitch during the teleport where only 1 person gets teleported. However, as long as everyone is on the same page then this battle is actually extremely easy. Whoever does not get teleported simply needs to stand on top of both pillars with a corrective measure laying waste to the supplicants that spawn. If you have a sixth person, then the third person that does not get teleported should sit atop a portal killing supplicants the whole time. The fellows that do get teleported need to focus the minotaur as first priority, then simply focus oracles at any other time (If on hard mode, have the two people who are not holding the relic to quickly snipe a hobgoblin on the mars side). Once Time's Vengeance is active, the relic holder should be using his super on atheon every second, while everyone else burns him with their snipers (Keep in mind your distance from supplicants). Repeat this and it should only take a couple portal runs.
