I agree and disagree at the same time. I have beaten skolas pre nerf and post nerf. With the burn active it was actually easier or cheesable by killing him fast and then disarming the mines with no opposition, but only for fireteams with the best gear otherwise it was a serious frustration. This week is harder than last week simply because both the modifiers are working against you. Idk if you know this but small arms nerfs your special weapons and heavy weapons damage. We couldn't even break the bonds with the first servitor using 3 gallys and weapons of light. This mode is a welcome new addition imho. There was a lot of community feedback stating how easy it is to cheese the raids and checkpoint boosting for players to get undeserved gear. However if you played the raids without any knowledge of how to beat em then they were extremely difficult. I just hope with the next raid the developers should seriously reduce the cheese and integrate a smarter checkpoint system where if a player has not beaten the previous checkpoints than they cannot join/launch the boss checkpoint.
