Unfortunately, you would be running into all of those wizards and knights if you weren't in that room. It has been destined so that you can't camp the entrance for safety. They did the same thing for Devil's lair, as well as the nexus. So to answer your question, yes the nightfall/ heroic strike/ raid is done on hard without cheesing. You just have to communicate with your team members on viable strategies and positions.

I consider it cheesing to kill e.g. Pogoth from the first room. And yes that can be done as the turret despawns after some time and no add will venture beyond the first room and will reset at the same time as the turret. So you never have to enter the Summoning Pits in oder to kill the boss... sounds abit too exploitive to me.

This. I hate to think I'm too noob to beat it legit, but I don't see how it's possible to go into the same room as phogoth and not die as lvl 28. Maybe as a lvl 30. Idk. The only way to win is hide in the room before the shrieker and wait for it and the Wizards to disappear. Even doing this, the amount of damage taken just in the amount of time it takes to shoot phogoth a little is ridiculous.

My thoughts exactly, thats why I started this topic.
