Crota and Warlocks
Hey duders!
Got a question. Our raid team still has yet to beat Crota. Haven't looked up how to do it until recently and found we were doing it correctly though just our timing is off. There is some question though about the role Warlocks should play in this raid. I run Voidwalker and so does the other Lock. The other non locks are thinking that the Sunsinger class would be more helpful incase we go down we could revive. That means to me that we're just saving our super for a what if moment. It's not very often that we go down so I don't see revive and a benefit more than nova bomb for orbs for health and clearing thralls until we get our timing perfect.
I know a lot of you can get crota down super fast and stuff and this might night even be an issue for you. Just want some thoughts.
Thanks!
Edit: Well duders we did it!!!! We all got on tonight and had literally one chance to beat crota. We decided instead of trying a new way we'd just try our normal strategy because we only had one chance. Before we knew it crota was down to 25% and our sword bearer was hacking away at him and then Crota exploded! We all freaked the heck out!!!! It was nuts! I'm still in shock at what we just did. None of us went down. We beat him in two swords. I did run Sunsinger but I don't think that had anything to do with it as we were all just kind not seriously playing. Anyway thanks for all your info and input and help!! Can't wait til Wednesday when we try for it all the way through!!

5 RepliesBoth jobs have their benefits in the Crota fight. On Normal, you can get away with a self-revive if necessary, but it does waste time and ammo with the Oversoul. On hard, this is not an option. One unplanned Oversoul is pretty much a wipe. Both jobs create 4 orbs per knight on hard. Voidwalker does have a tougher time getting both in one shot but Shatter + Bloom mixed with a little patience and manouvering will help with this. Apothesis Veil and Light Beyond Nemesis are very good items to have. With Apothesis Veil, you don't even need orbs to heal since activating your Super will heal you. Then you have all those orbs for later. One thing I haven't seen mentioned is the Voidwalker ability to trigger Energy Drain with our Supers and Grenades. This actually gives us more surviveability than Sunsingers, especially in the Crota fight. At the end of the day, it's up to us to educate about the joys of being Voidwalker and end people's reliance on the "oh shit button". As I said, both jobs are very useful, but Crota is one fight where the fireteam is punished for deaths, regardless of whether or not you can revive.
