I used this strategy... The only difference is you do NOT have to run inside each time, you can all huddle against the glass at the opposite side of which crota is running to, this reduces your chance of behind damaged by boomers going in and out he crystal room, just a small tip

Yeah staying outside is way better. The sword bearer still goes in side and would pretty much watch the backs of peoe huddled in corner. Plus being outside you don't lose swordbearer and can down him fast.
-
There's a funny thing with the Swordbearer's AI. If everyone's standing in the crystal room and fires their gun at the glass while aiming at the Swordbearer he'll run into the pit. This way your team could run inside without losing the Swordbearer.
-
Never lose swordbearer while outside plus he is closer to crota making it easier for guy with sword.
-
It's basically down to preference.

My team has had a few instances where a random thrall comes through the glass and trashes us. That ever happen to you or did we just keep getting a glitch?
-
Yes that happens... So you can stand right at the front of the ledge and it can prevent it... But usually we are going inside and clearing the room anyway and lettin crota go right then back to the middle before we go back to the ledge... They only spawn in there after ogres and if your run is going well you will have the time to go inside and clear the room

Edited by Rexkongzilla: 1/29/2015 9:45:01 AMTwo of our guys did that. I've had problems where Crota has shot and killed one of us while moving so I like to keep the majority of the team inside. Thanks for the help though.

The trick is to tuck in against the "glass" and stand in a line. Nobody fires their weapon and nobody sticks their -blam!-ing head out to have a look. It is the safest option so long as everybody can stand still for 45 seconds. If it goes wrong it is because somebody in your team can't follow instructions. The sword carrier can stay down in the Boomer tower and tell the team when Crota is going back.
-
Yeah either way works but one of our guys was having bother with boomers so we changed it up a bit and it worked fr us
-
It makes sense for any teammates that have trouble avoiding boomer shots.
