Just ran the 'no knight' strat' and there is no way it is easier than the normal way. I was in a team of killers (we cleared everything to Oryx in 35 to 40 minutes) but had issues with RNG and orb placement. Replacing killing a reb bar night and the vessel with RNG Ogres not only with light eyes and non-equidistant orb placement is not an efficient tradeoff. I have 4 clears and the normal mode is superior in every way.
The normal mode is a 100% scripted event. There is absolutely no RNG involved (which is correct raid design) and the fight is 100% reproducible every singe time. The only real RNG is teleport-sword kill but that is in both strats.
Why anyone would want the fight to require more communication and teamwork, plus RNG around Ogres and orb drops is beyond me.
Normal with one titan in the middle and 4 assigned plates also makes it much easier to know where to run during mortars, know where to run after every phase change etc. 4th person just goes to middle with titan and blessings.
I guess I will have to run the no knight strategy because, I don't know, some scrub streamer said it was best but ignoring a knight and replacing it with massive Ogre/orb RNG makes no sense.

I hate that strategy to much room for errors, if the teams to weak to play it clean I guess but every time I've tried it with people it's gone bad repeatedly. One Titan + floater with blessings to help with ogres after each ogre kill, take out your knight don't help with another ogre other then your own if you're not on the sisters platform ogre then knight every time.

I agree with you 100% except the part about the knights. The real draw to this "strategy" is not avoiding the Knights it's being safe from the adds. If you are under leveled the adds are the issue and hiding on the top platform eliminates that threat. If you are properly leveled or a beast on the sticks, this way is no more faster or efficient than running it normal.

Eliminating for them is adding to the runner and the runner is needed more then the spare. Bubble invisibility or res can make it really easy after the Knights go down.
