Ideas to helping Virgin relic/sword runners
I mean come on, how many times have u joined a fireteam and someone says "Whos running relic/sword?"
Thankfully i learned to master both, but i still hear the folks in the fireteam asking. Its a really simple task and can be fun too but i can see why folks would be intimidated to be on the spotlight.
Maybe Bungie can have a section for relic and sword practices, kinda like a SOLO free for all in its own section to master these weapons. Example will be how to use it, combos, timer, etc etc
I mean seriously this will help boost virgins and those not so comfortable using these and will encourage everyone to run it.
Problem is people cant give the relic or sword a try due to people are on a timer, have short tempers, they are low levels, being on the spotlight make your palms sweaty, etc..Shoot i have 3 guardian classes. I can see how someone who has 3 doing back yo back raids doesnt have a first timer to learn the mechanics.
idk if what im saying makes sense. Id like to see more people run the sword and relic instead of me.

VoG: One thing to do is do not jump until you have to. If you double jump at the top of the steps, you will grab the enemies attention and they will start shooting. Best thing is to run halfway down the steps and jump when you are read to slam. If Venus, tell your teammates to throw a grenade to help with shields or do damage. I know some people try to take out the two smaller guys and then focus on the praetorian. Keep doing jump slams to stun the preatorian. On mars, no grenade is required as it will activate the fire shields for the snipers. Usually there are always two who stand near each other, so jump slam and get as many as you can, and RT the last one. Once enemies are gone, run back up the steps and cleanse. Best practice for cleansing is making sure that the oracle shooters are close to each other. It helps to identify if someone is lagging behind and tell them to move faster. I always cleanse once at the top of the steps, and then tell them to meet me at the middle plate for the second cleanse. When the last two oracles spawn, and your teammates are taking them out quickly, I usually leave the portal early. Mars turn left, venus turn right. Head to the middle platform and stand near the front right, away from the left wall as it can cause splash damage. Inform your teammates generally at 10 seconds and 5 seconds and if someone has a bubble, tell them to put it a the back of the platform around 2 seconds left, so everyone can walk to the back and shoot harpies. CE: For Normal, I usually like to run left steps rather than middle as you can kill the knights without a wizard coming out. Have 1 32 with icebreaker on boomer duty,and everyone else either making orbs on the left steps and help kill the swordbearer. If enough orbs are made, you can grab the sword and quickly run back to the steps so you have a super. Jump on the left rock. If you are a hunter, crouch and go invis with the bladedancer perk. Once he starts going down, start swinging and you can land 4 RT's. When Crotas shield comes back up (or just before) drop the sword and melee for blink strike to go invis. If you are not a hunter, jump on left rock and signal rocket fire. Jump to the platform and stay a little distance from crota and look up so you view his shields. To be more conservative, try 3 hits, and then run away by jumping and swinging. On hard, go to middle platform and pretty much do the same. Hope this works.
