I think we came up with a new strategy for Oryx (Video and steps inside)

With all the talk of the no knights "cheese" and the "normal" way, My group and I decided to use a new strategy to defeat this bastard. It's fairly easy to understand. I'm not sure if this strategy is entirely new or not, but I haven't seen anyone use it or talk about it. Here is what you need and what should be done: 1. Start it off as you usually do. Kill ads and wait for Oryx to move to a totem. 2. 3 people jump on totems, while the other 2(preferably Titans with BoL and WoL) will be watching over on the sisters platform. The 2 people on the sisters platform are helping kill the ogres and knights. Weapons of light for max DPS and Blessing for armor. 3. The one jumping for the relic must call out when he gets it. If done quick enough, the relic holder should've gotten it before the last ogre spawns or right as he is spawning. At this time, the 3 people on totems hop into the middle of the stage, while the 2 on the platforms focus on the last ogre and knight. It's best if the 3rd jumper helps out with the last ogre. The relic holder should jump on the sisters platform to get the WoL and BoL before dropping down to the Vessel (this way, you have extra armor to help you against ads and extra damage once you steal the Vessels shield). 4. Stun oryx. Pop WoL if needed. Knights and vessels should be dead at this time, but if they aren't, take out as much as you can before his chest opens up. 5. [b]MOST IMPORTANT STEP AND POSSIBLY THE NEW STRATEGY.[/b] After stunning Oryx, [b]STAY INSIDE THE IMMORTAL BUBBLE.[/b] Take out all the ads on each side very quickly if you can, but if not, take out as much in you can very quickly (this is probably a 3 second timer inside that bubble). After that, run to your designated orbs [b]BUT DO NOT DETONATE THEM YET[/b]. Oryx doesn't do his blinding blast thing that insta-wipes until the first orb is detonated, so this will give you guys enough time and safety to run to the orbs. Have someone count down from 3 seconds and then enter your orbs [b]AT THE SAME TIME.[/b] This gives your team much needed time to get to the orbs, detonate them and run back to the immortal bubble to do damage. 5. Run for your life 6. Repeat This is the strategy our squad has been using for a while now and we've beaten it over 7x now. We've even carried people as low as 304 thru the battle. Key points: NO ONE CAN DIE. One death is pretty much a wipe. SAFETY FIRST. If a knight or vessel is going to your orb but you feel like you'll die getting it, DON'T RISK IT. Just let the orb get eaten. Your life is more important and an extra phase is better than a wipe, especially towards the end of the fight (as you see in the video) COMMUNICATION. Talk everything out. Let your team know when you're hoping on totems, if you need help with ogres, etc. Failure to communicate will most likely lead to a wipe. Last but not least... [b][u]HAVE FUN.[/u][/b] This raid is truly incredible and it's a blast to play(until you get your loot). Don't let mistake ruin friendships. Hope you guys like it. Let me know what you think!
