Seriously I ran some newish guys thru Crota normal last night, since I decided to get my 30 hunter geared up with raid stuff for the heck of it. Anyways most of these guys CLaimed they have done it multiple times. Went smoothly until 2 idjits are refusing to do crota on ANYTHING OTHER THAN center strat.
Oh my gawd guys that is for hard mode, if you're that lame that you can't handle the normal crota battle without standing on center ledge....don't even play the raids any more. Seriously the next person I run normal mode with that suggests "Hey lets do center ledge strat on Crota" I'm going to flip out. That is so pathetic.

Who cares? Use whatever. The result is the same no matter what you use. Crota = dead. That's what everyone wants, right?
-
Or they could be trying to get in some practice runs for hard mode.
-
I think you are the moron. Why not practice the center strat and try and get the swordbearer down as fast as possible? Practice does make perfect .
-
Why not use the easiest method? Eventually people are going to want to do it on hard and practice makes perfect. My team always does mid strat. Its alot safer and you dont have to deal with people not killing the boomers. It also makes the swordbearer 10 times easier to kill.
-
I usually ask the guy with the sword what his more comfortable with if he says middle them its middle if he says left well guess what we're doing left either crota goes down
-
While it is doable it makes killing sword bearer harder and requires a lot more moving around.

18 RepliesI agree, it's sad. And for all you idiots saying what's wrong with this go run sword as center and left side and then tell me the difference. The sword bearer never gets lost in left side, the sword is right there to pick up, faster up to crota, he never rotates before you are ready and boomers are easy to kill. Don't do center strat on normal, it's a sign of weakness.
-
Really? Let people do what they want. Its the easiest way to do it. No need to make it harder. We two man easy now and use center strat. Yes easy is super easy now but really why not use the best strat out there still? You sir are someone I'll never raid with because you get mad BC people do it the easy way. Life.. Get one.

I don't think it is a bad idea to do middle with newer guys. If I am running an obviously new group through the raid I always suggest middle. It's not perfect, but it is so much simpler for everyone. Everyone has exactly one job, and there is nothing that can hurt them.

Edited by THE SARGE 01: 2/25/2015 12:35:21 AMYes, this is probably the better strat for HM, but it also works with Normal. It actually works better since you don't have to worry about gatekeeper.
-
I've always used the lower center on normal , and use ledge center on hard. Doesn't really matter nowadays since you can down Crota before ogres on normal. Hell the last few times I ran normal everyone kinda just went wherever they wanted the shit is so easy it really doesn't matter where you stand.
-
Who cares lol
-
Unless you are gonna solo it
-
I got flawless raider doing middle strat on normal. Less hassle, fewer ways to die
-
Lol I know right it's more work. Seriously are the boomers too much that you have to sit in the middle? It's a lot easier from the left on normAl
-
Edited by DoubleOhStatus: 2/24/2015 5:20:58 PMMy rule is do what the sword bearer wants to do. 9 out of 10 times I'm running sword so... I do what I want! ;)
-
Why Would you do it any other way? It has been a legit strat since day 1 and its the easiest thing to do.
-
Why does it matter? It's the easiest and most safe strategy. And if your team can't kill Crota in two swords before ogres come your just plain ass. BUT, if you can't you just simply drop down into the room below!!! Whoaaaa simple right?
-
Why does it matter? As long as he gets beaten I'll run any strategy
-
6 RepliesWhy would we not make it more convenient and time-friendly? Less time sniping boomers, less time shooting melee Knights, and no need to worry about Thrall when killing Swordbearer. It's just easier. However, the real pathetic thing is that you care this much. It's really up to the Swordbearer what strategy we use on normal. On my hunter (Swordbearer) I always do middle. However, on my Warlock (I hate that jump), I let Swordbearer decide. It shouldn't bother you that much.
-
Google the term "time effective"
-
I agree doing that strat on normal is stupid. All the knights and boomers dir to one good sniper shot. I cant stand people that use it in hard mode and still die somewhere during the fight. I mean you are standing on a ledge with like 30 seconds exposed to damage the entire fight and you still die. C'mon man
-
I like to try to run the easy the same as hard it gives my regular group practice and gets new clan members used to how we run in a more forgiving area
-
Agreed, I received every loot i could get possible from hard crota, now i will never do Hard mode ever again not for fun maybe to help out but never again, i have every exotic weapon in the game and have no need to play countless hours of hard mode bs, plus normal crota is fun and everyone I help seem to be happy and appreciate me as a sword bearer so i play normal because its fun and my way of helping the community
-
Who says OMG in a serious post? I think you're the one that's a little off here
-
It's guardians like you who will bitch about some 31 not knowing the hard mode strategy yet by your own idea the normal mode is not the place to practice the hard mode strategy. It's your game play it like you like, let others play how they want and stop bitching
