So I was doing the raid tonight with a fun group of people, we had just killed the Daughters of Oryx and were ready to kill the big daddy himself before the reset. Sadly we could not, for some odd reason we couldn't even get past the first 3 minutes. We killed the ads, killed the knights, got the relic, dunked on the knight, got in the bubble and all either super'd, sniped or heavy'd the Taken King's chest, but we NEVER could stagger him. We tried getting the timing faster so we had more time, we tried killing all ogre's first, we even got a hunter with celestial nighthawk (year 2) going.
We went on repeating this same ~5 minutes of the fight for almost two hours before giving up, we got him staggered ONCE but we don't know what we did differently. Is there something we were missing? We got the relic, dunked the knight, killed the ogre's, got in the bubble, and used the recommended weapons. (we were all also 290~298). It's a bit late now to try again but I'd like to know what we did wrong for next time.
(Also to note, I read that we were supposed to shoot more specifically the orb thing in his glowing chest, still no cigar)

Same issue mate. We got him with high impact snipers (1000 yard stare is good) and scouts. Also pop weapons of light between the sisters towers for the damage buff. Took a few goes but we got him to stagger.
