The reason you are having trouble is because people really are bad.
on normal stay on the left side. And ffs someone grab the chalice. Have 1 person ALWAYS shooting boomers. make sure this person is 31+. that guy does not: 1) shoot crota, ever 2) shoot thrall 3) shoot sword bearer 4) look anywhere else but the boomer tower. If that wasn't clear, DON'T DO ANYTHIGN ELSE EXCEPT KILL BOOMER KNIGHTS. Everyone else should be jumping on that sword bearer. He shouldn't have seconds to live. he should be DEAD when you see him. And don't use primary ammo. Shoot him with your heavy and special ffs. synths are in the game for a reason you cheap mofo.
Only down crota when the sword guy is in position. and ffs call out when crota is almost down. You want as much time for the sword guy to damage him as possible. And make sure you down him TWICE every time you get a sword. for the second time you MUST WAIT for him to stop glowing orange or all shots you put out will be immune. If crota runs to the right before you get a second shot at him, then your team was too slow. Too slow probably because you guys were picking your own ass holes instead of killing the sword bearer. In anycase it's not the end of the world if you only get him once per rotation, but the fight will then drag on and you might have to worry about enrage.
When crota runs right wait until he is middle again to kill the sword bearer. then repeat the steps above. Once you get him twice again, everyone run to the center hallway under the crystal IMMEDIATELY. Don't wait or shoot stuff, RUN. Crota will eventually run left and has a good chance of killing you if you're still there. From the hallway wait and shoot ogres when they appear. When they are down WAIT FOR CROTA TO MOVE MIDDLE before you go back to your position left side. On your way back watch for thralls and exploders. That guy on boomer duty is still doing that right? because he should be. From here on out the fight repeats like that for a total of 3 rotations. if you don't have crota down he will enrage after that.
If crota enrages it is still possible to down him, but it will be a bit trickier. If crota won't go down in the next sword by this point, you should probably just wipe. If he will go down, have 1 person focus on killing the sword bearer while everyone else hits the oversoul. Once hes down the sword guy gets into position. you MUST WAIT to take down crotas shield until right after an oversoul goes down or you might not have enough time to take down crota and oversoul at the same time.
that's it. normal crota is even easier than atheon. the reason wipes happen is because people are too damn slow to react to whats going on. kill that damn sword bearer quickly, someone should always be focusing on boomers, and the sword guy should know to gtfo when crota stands back up. no one should be dying. The chalice should be passed around like a cheap hooker. The sword guy also shouldn't take the chalice with him since it doesn't serve much purpose. he shouldn't be getting hit by boomers, and if crota hits him hes dead anyway.
