I have uploaded a tutorial for bladedancers and first time swordbearers in this forum a few days ago that was fairly popular and very well received! (I can link it if you guys want) This video was of our first ever kill of Crota and I believe we came up with some ideas that nobody else has (maybe had at this point). When most people run sunsinger as a sword holder they keep on fire born in order to res if something goes wrong and to avoid a wipe. We had a different approach and we killed Crota before the ogres came out (2 days after hard mode release). If you increase radiance length, reduce incoming damage, put on 2 grenades and fusion grenades you become a swordbearers worst nightmare! Not only can you solo kill him (not necessary I know but it's perfectly doable with this setup)... But you're in a great position to head straight up to Crota and you're hopefully still reducing incoming damage. We also feel that when you head up from the middle, the boomers are less attracted to you and easier to distract! This was not an easy run to put together and my other video is very simple compared to this. But this does show that warlock sword carriers also have some tricks up their sleeves! Hope this helps you guys! TL;DR - killing Crota on hard before ogres with a warlock sword holder and some fresh approaches! Enjoy! p.s for those of you who want to learn how to run the sword for normal or hard, especially as a hunter, here is my tutorial video with commentary: http://youtu.be/gySJH5KY1Vo
