Go easy on your swordbearer
Just thought I'd give a shoutout to all you non-swordbearers out there. In something so calculated as the CE Hard raid it seems we forget that we are only human.
Its pretty stressful being the swordbearer in the Hard raid. I mean, we are the ones that have to get right up in Crota's face and deliver those victory slashes while you guys watch the show from the comfort of the middle ridge, kept warm by the heat of your freshly-fired rocket launchers.
All I want to say is, your swordbearer wants to kill Crota just as much as everyone else. So when your swordbearer's invisibility decides not to work after a well-placed blink strike, or Crota decides he's had enough and he gets up early from his kneeling position to beat the piss out of your swordbearer with that giant sword, go easy on him. I promise your swordbearer is doing the best he can, has no intent to sabotage the raid for everyone else, and gets just as mad as you when he dies.
So happy raiding! And please, go easy on your swordbearer.

I think more people need to try the sword as Its way easier than most people think! A little practice+ keeping it simple+ not getting greedy = Easy kills!

1 AntwortenBearbeitet von LLoydizle: 2/4/2015 8:22:31 AMTHIS!!! I'm learning how to play Swordbearer on Hard, and I'm nearly there (I can get 3 swords in 1 down, 60% of the time, but escaping is the tricky part). But I do feel like I'm letting the team down when I mess up, even though I am trying my best.
-
Just a word of advice as well, have the swordbearer host the game. Not just be party leader. Have him join first and then everyone else join on him. It really makes the fight less buggy on his end. It can make the difference between 2 or 3 hits.

I know the pain of being a swordbearer I ran it with my 32 warlock on the first week and couldn't beat him even though we came close I could feel the frustration whenever the sword would glitch right before we kill him or someone forgot to put up a shield while I'm running inside so the boomer kills me (didn't happen often) also if there are 3 gallys in the fireteam and I'm used to that being shot lmk if your out of ammo before I get ready to jump up when there is a rhythm going I try to keep it I can adjust just let me know do you know how awkward it is to go up look at crota and just be like hello crota didn't expect to see you up, o this sword this is for something else. Just communicate swordbearers have feelings too.

4 AntwortenIm trying to learn how to be a swordbearer with my hunter. Can u guys please tell me Whats the best way to hit crota? R1 R1 R2 or 3x R2? Thanks!!

It sucks for me cause im a warlock #noinvis :(

I've come to learn after completing 10+ sword runs on hard, supplying the rockets is much harder considering you have to earn the glimmer to buy the synth. Sword is cake as long as they listen to when you say "down him"
-
As the sword runner and the rocket guy you can watch lag happen. Crota quick smashing, not taking sword damage, 4 rockets and no shield but still manages to smash, insta-kills with the hand beam thing. My personal favorite but not lag related is the swordbearer making a b-line straight for one of the ogre towers.

2 AntwortenHow about a shoutout to the guy who keeps the Boomers stun-locked so they don't -blam!- the living hell out of the SwordBearer while he swings at Crota?
-
This.^^ Thank you. Who here has been punched by Crota? Just curious because, this happened to me during his ninja getting up fast as hell glitch. Didn't use his big sword. Just straight up punched me in the head. And it has only happened once.

Being swordbearer is my favorite part of the raid Almost makes me wish I had 3 hunters It's fun I never liked being the relic guy in VoG but I love using the sword
-
1 AntwortenI never blame a swordbearer if Crota chops him. Most of the time it's a glitch or lag. I just encourage him to keep going.
-
1 AntwortenAnd then there is the even easier bubble strategy featured in the Bungie weekly and yet ppl keep on killing themself firing from it... There is nothing more frustrating for the swordbearer seeing ppl die around you for the most retarded reasons lol. *sigh* ....
-
1 AntwortenI did it a few times with my 31 hunter in normal before I gave up....there's so many things that could go wrong. Blink strike button not going off team mates not getting him down fast enough and glitches. It's not an easy job....especially in hard mode.
-
i downed crota on hard mode as a warlock without any assistance from titan bubble next to crota was very proud hunters have it easy with blink strike lol
-
Always have a hunter do it honestly. I do sword and I rarely ever screw up. Just always play the second run of each sword safe and only go for 3 hits. Get him to 13-14 heavy slams after 2 runs. Go under right boomer tower for ogres. Survive that and go to crystal room and wait until after he rotates right and then back to mid. 3 swords and he is down with ease.
-
Thank you this is much needed. I'm usually running sword for my groups as my hunter (normal or hard) and it does get tough up there sometimes
-
I dont want to. Simply because its my friend and i love getting on his last nerves whenever he dies lol
-
Tips to fellow sword bearers call rockets while jumping up to the rock exit crota left on first downing phase and right on second and save rockets for shrek and fiona
-
-blam!-ING THANK YOU AMEN TO THAT
-
I never blame those things on the Sword Bearer. That's on Bungie. Max respect to the Sword Bearers, just like the guys running the Relic for Templar. Its a tough job and I am always grateful being on a team with people who are good at those jobs.
-
I have noticed the bug with blink strike really only happens when you are behind him. I think you get the sound of the hit but the game registers it as a miss cause the way he crouches. When I hit from the side I have never had it miss.
-
I'm always sword bearer and think I do a good job. It usually only takes us 3 runs. But when I die I get a lot of grief.
-
Never hassle the swordbearer. But I did see where a teammate went down in the beginning fight. The team went out and took down Crota for the first time. When I got back in to the center room there were 4 teammates teabagging the guy who went down. He was screaming obscenities. I laughed so hard I spewed coke out my nose.

Bearbeitet von IcedCaesar81: 2/2/2015 8:10:29 PMNice post. ESPECIALLY when the sword guy is not a hunter... DEFINITELY don't be a dick... Most won't even try it unless it is a hunter.
