Honestly I would say no. I love raids, but destiny in general is not a hard game. What do you think?

    Someone that never played in raids will take time to learn how to raid, whem you learn it's easy, in pvp it's just point and shoot, with some matches you can learn how to finish with a good k/d, if raids requires more skills than pvp, maybe not, once you've learned what to do in raids it's not that difficult, pvp it's always different since you're dealing with players

  • If following instructions, co-operating and knowing how not to die are considered skills, then yes

  • Vog takes skill Crotas, not so much. Just knowing what to do. It's so easy to stay alive in Crotas

      • More like teamwork and communication, not skill.

        - I feel like skill isn't that much of a factor, teamwork is needed though. VoG - Teamwork, not much skill involved Crota - Less skill required than VoG, and can be soloed, so teamwork can be helpful, but is not necessary. Just my opinion though.

      • Skill is only involved in raids if you are soloing crota or doing the VOG with only 2 people.

      • I think it does when you're a relic/ sword holder. Other than that it takes the ability to know the running order and how to deal with it. Which although that seems simple it doesn't seem to be for a lot of people.

      • Raids? There is only 1 raid; and does require skill; but mainly teamwork.

        • Throw the controller to a complete noob. He dies. Hand the controller to a freshly ascended level 30 raid virgin. He dies. Have your best mates help that guy. He gets carried! [spoiler]And the sucker probably gets a Gjally...[/spoiler] Take back the controller with your veteran hands. Raid complete! [spoiler]And all you get is f'ing shards.[/spoiler]

            If you did VoG from day one and didn't watch youtube to tell you what to do, then you would know there is a good bit of skill needed. Yes after thousands and thousands of gameplay and footage beyond belief on the internet, people figured out the best "strategies". Confluxes on VoG are not easy by any means, especially as a 25-26. Oracles and Templar from the ground level, not staying up top like a big pussy, is not easy. Sure, as a 32, over leveled, over powered, equipped with blocks of cheese, we can blast thru much of the raid. I am not saying it isn't broken, but as a day 1er, I can safely say VoG definitely required a fairly skilled full fireteam to complete it successfully when it released. (Crota was much less difficult)

            • It depends purely on your role and what section of the raid you're on

              • Crota normal is very easy now, like a strike really, hard mode more of a challenge but really only at crota cp imo. Vog still needs team work and hard mode obviously still hard if this makes sense

                • Vault: Yes. Crota's End: No, only a requirement for you to know what you are doing.
