[quote]I am speaking for the people that have yet to beat him without the burn: Skolas and his buddies are still too OP for the unskilled and communication-less Destiny players. His power is unbelievably high and the captains are able to kill players with one to two shots from their scorch cannons,(not to mention those sniper vandals that can pull three, direct shots on a player in a row). Bungie, you guys did a good job with taking the burn off, but I think you failed to realize that people were still going to have a hard time with Skolas. I have to say that it would be worth the struggle if the rewards were better i.e. 2x or 3x etheric light, but one etheric light for the level 35? We, the Destiny community, deserve better from the 35 Prison of Elders. I apologize for ranting about such a trivial subject, but I just felt it needed to be addressed.[/quote] If you are unskilled you should not be able to beat skolas period. It is hard for a reason, hard truth is for those who cannot beat him just keep playing and getting better the content should never be nerfed so someone who should not be able to beat it beats it. Play the game more get better or do not run it at all. Personally I hate carrying a group though the 35 because you cannot shoot a vandal or a dreg, shotgun a captain, use a heavy rocket launcher on adds because you do not want to use heavy synth. I am quite sick of it. Yes we have off days where we die like crazy but really others just simply cannot do it and shouldn't get it made easier for them, time to learn to play better or do not do do the content. My 2 cents on bitching because content is hard and wanting it made easier.

Argument is invalid. Despite what game you are playing, it's a time waster.

Skolas isn't worth it. None of PoE is. You aren't guaranteed elemental primaries and even IF you are lucky enough to get one, the perks or element will likely suck. you cannot re-roll them. and literally EVERYTHING else you can get from the skolas PoE drops on lower levels and you can obtain in MUCH less time if you play doing those. You can also play PoE and obtain pretty much everything much easier and faster AND you can take breaks as well. this update is ass--blam!-ing-backwards. I TOLD you a raid would've been better. at least that would've had some replayability and we wouldn't grow bored after ONE week. PoE is nothing but a series of shitty horde/firefight encounters with no satisfying moments or rewards.

Skolas is easy if you have a full set of POE fallen armor. If you stopped buying the poe armor after you reached 34, then don't bitch about not being able to beat him. Get the armor, it is clutch and helps a great deal [spoiler]i'd prefer to run it with someone that has a full set of fallen poe armor rather than a gally. It's much more useful. [/spoiler]

Skolas is easy af. It's actually getting kinda boring now. The weapons are garbage (except the Benevolence and a disciplinarian weapon), the rewards are garbage, it's the same path to him every damn week. The only reason why I'm still doing it is for a solar primary. Once I get one of those, -blam!- PoS. Yes. PoS

I still crave that challenge , yes it was difficult, yes it was frustrating. Yes its all about Communication. Take your time and get him .

Did it twice today without wiping. One run we went flawless

I could care less how hard he is... Im too busy wondering how he went from dying in 3 gally shots in the solo mission to needing a billion in a prison. Lol

If they simple made the rewards worth the effort. Not to say it's that difficult. It's just not worth the time and effort. Even if it only takes an hour or so.

wtf? Skolas is weak sauce anyone who says other wise is a scrub lol

Skolas is easy. It's often more of a challenge to get to him. Damn cabal and mine disabling.

Skolas isn't hard at all, you just need a good strategy to handle him. The only time it was hard is when skolas had the arc burn. That was a struggle.[spoiler]Damn Sniper Vandals[/spoiler]

it is not a waste of time if u only join on group that have the Skolas CP. The earliest i have joined on skolas in the past 2 months has been on Round 5 the Servitor boss. All i do now i just on LFG sites and snipe Skola groups that need an extra member. Usually im in and out in under 20 minutes. But yea for most dedicated players rewards suck. All the primaries suck cuz the fallen perks ruin the weapon. The drop rate of said weapons is pretty trash. The only good thing u can possibly get is exotic armor from the chest (im not sure if this is exclusive to PoE 35) and ciphers for those that still need it. Moral of the story RAIDS >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> PoE

Lol. Of course you can't run something that requires communication without...........communication.
