Is Crota just that badass or....

... Are the teams I been in just suck? Seriously, spent 6 hours in various groups trying to beat the damn last boss and its really pissing me off. Last attempt was everyone but me at 31, I'm at 30, and we only got him a little over halfway dead. The small window to drop his shields and the swordbearer to strike then get away is what tripped us up the most. Anyone else having similar issues or manage to get around them and what did you do?

  • From our many wipes and two clears I've learned some important things: 1. Calling out is extremely important. The guy holding the sword should call out when he wants the team to fire. The guy who is confident in putting in the last shot which will break Crota's shield should call out to the sword holder. (E.g: a level 31 using Gjallahorn should call out when he fires a rocket while Crota is at 33% shields). Thus it is important to know how much damage you can do. 2. Don't anticipate when people are going to drain Crota's shield. (E.g: don't call out to the sword holder when he's at 33% EXPECTING a Gjallahorn rocket from someone else to break it. Oftentimes, said rocket doesn't materialise because of reload, out of ammo, etc.) 3. Attacking only when Crota just moves back to the center is the least risky position/time to attack him at. You don't want to attack him at the sides because it's difficult for the sword bearer to escape and get back up for a second attack (also, Boomer Knights may kill him). You don't want Crota to start running just as you pick up the sword, it's a huge waste of potential damage). 4. Watch those for damn Boomer Knights. They'll be the ones killing your teammates most of the time.
