I have beaten it multiple times, and I'm not saying that it should be skipped, but with the CP not dropping any loot, Bungie had to know this would happen... The Deathsinger isn't really hard, but once you have beaten the raid a few times, at that point, its nothing more than a grind for gear... That's it. Period. End of story. They made a sub-par, half assed raid and then, to keep people playing it even though it sucks, they introduced gear that can only be leveled up with materials obtained from inside of the raid... This was bound to happen... They purposely made this into an unnecessary grind, and people are navigating the grind in the most efficient way possible by skipping the areas that don't give anything for the effort...
