4 Replieshey man, I started running sword on my hunter back in normal but converted to warlock & now will never go back to hunter for hard mode...the self-res is far more useful than the invisibility, especially being that you get one blink strike per sword...& if you're doing triple downs you're stuck running back to rock twice anyways! what's one more time on a class that's better suited for any situation.? anyways though, my first tip would be start out on a hunter normal mode first. Being that the invisibility it a super easy button for normal mode & it's a good way to learn. I don't do normal anymore very often. So on hard mode, hit 3-5 smashes. it's hard to hit the uppercut combo properly unless you're right up there AS he's going down. the combo I'm speaking of is RB+RB+RT x2 plus one extra RT at the end of it. I usually hit 4 RTs per down. 3 swords, as doing triple downs is a little tough for me on warlock. hunters is easier in my opinion for triples. so I just do doubles as it's safer in my opinion. If you're on hard mode & you miss a sword for whatever reason, kill the ogres fast & run straight back to your strat as opposed to going back to the crystal & waiting for Crota to rotate right & back to middle. as you're in ogre room he will be rotating to left, you have to get him when he goes back to middle rather than waiting for an extra rotation or the enrage timer will hit. that's ONLY if you happen to miss a sword though. unless your team is experienced & synchronized enough to get him on the sides, which is pretty rare. I've only done it a select few times & it was not w. Randoms. also, left rock is much better to jump on being that Crota can't hit you if you're positioned properly. on right rock, top or bottom, if he's towards the left of the platform he can hit you. I use boomer bubble strategy & jump up left rock. except for when it's time for ogres, I always bring it right at that time so my fireteam can jump in the boomer bubble & grab Blessing on the way down for that extra safety. also, if your titan uses Gift of the Void, he spawn additional orbs as the boomers hit his bubble. which is very helpful for your fireteam on the way down to ogre room. I hope my tips will go to some use...if you need any other questions answered feel free to ask! also a tip, if you're using a warlock, do NOT self res until Crota has rotated. otherwise he will kill you as soon as you spawn again. it's best to just skip that sword unless you know what your timing is left & are confident you can hit him if they down him again & the oversoul in time.
