After weeks of been the guy to take down crotas shield I joined a group with my 31 hunter and they didn't have a sword bearer. They asked if I could use the sword and I told them I had never done it before but was willing to try. I can honestly say I thought it was going to be a lot harder than it actually was, credits to my fireteam for baring with me the first couple of wipes, but after about 4 tries we dropped crota and I even got the 4th horseman for my efforts. Then everyone wanted to run a fresh run and I used my warlock, what happened? We dropped him straight away and completed the raid in next to no time :) I can now safely say I'm quite comfortable using the sword no problem. Next step, cracking it on hard lol. Now I know people are going to come on this post and post hate, but oh well life goes on lol. Only just realised the post is on the trending section :) thanks for all the support guys. Alls I can say is, if your wanting to try the sword go for it, you just need a real laid back fireteam
