I’m am serious here.
Is anyone playing the missions, strikes etc. on harder difficulty (Nightfall, lvl 28 Heroic etc.) the way they are “supposedly” designed?
I can’t fathom this. Everything is killing you in basically one hit (or one hit and a gust).
I mean how do you survive 4 Wizards and 3 Knights at the same time in the Summoning Pits while staying inside the room when everything needs just to look at you to kill you?
I don’t think I am a bad player.
If I do strike playlists I’m usually the one without any death while also having the most kills etc.
I’ve been beating nightfall strikes and heroics for weeks… just not “the way they are meant to be played”. (tm Nvidia)
To cut to the chase: I exploit the living crap out of the AI and terrain.

[quote]OP raises a good point, and I think many people may have missed it.
Is it actually possible to run the nightfall/weekly strikes by actually playing the strike the way it was intended it to be played?
Phogoth is a great example, because I don't know if it is actually possible to go into the final chamber with Phogoth on Nightfall, and not die once the high level minions spawn. Can anyone here say they have done it that way? If not, then isn't there something fundamentally wrong with the game's difficulty gradient?[/quote]
Maybe I worded it poorly but its basically this.

We didn't use any of the tricks, we fought and bled in middle of the enemies. BUT, I have used exploits. Like we did the VoG last boss on normal using the Warlock trick for first time. And I've done this week's and last week's Nightfall using area where enemies can't access, because otherwise these maps would be a nightmare to play. So making the enemies two hit players is not very smart thing to do. Rising difficulty in some other ways would be nice. But Weekly challenges, I ALWAYS do without cheating. Nightfalls are just special cases. Here's my another question, would you use shotgun on Nightfall? I sure as hell wouldn't. Enemies usualy have the melee buff or they will do damage so absurd that using a gun that is only effective in 3 meters would be riddicilous (does 1's and 2's at 4th meter). But I don't think these difficulties are meant to be balanced. Sadly so. Because it limits your choices and usualy makes snipers the best tools for them.
