Skolas is still a waste of time.
I am speaking for the people that have yet to beat him without the burn: Skolas and his buddies are still too OP for the unskilled and communication-less Destiny players. His power is unbelievably high and the captains are able to kill players with one to two shots from their scorch cannons,(not to mention those sniper vandals that can pull three, direct shots on a player in a row). Bungie, you guys did a good job with taking the burn off, but I think you failed to realize that people were still going to have a hard time with Skolas. I have to say that it would be worth the struggle if the rewards were better i.e. 2x or 3x etheric light, but one etheric light for the level 35? We, the Destiny community, deserve better from the 35 Prison of Elders. I apologize for ranting about such a trivial subject, but I just felt it needed to be addressed.

1 RespuestaRewards suck. There isn't one elemental weapon that is better than anything you can get in VoG or even Crotas. I have more than enough etheric light in bank so there's no reason to do him anymore. I'd rather play a different game.
-
Yeah either that or higher chance for elemental primaries
-
I would like a guaranteed weapon drop. Just want a Solar Hand Cannon, will even not complain about Shank Burn.
-
He's easy to kill once you know what you're doing and have communication. That said, yes, the rewards simply aren't worth it, and the fight is the same every single time. The changing modifiers aren't different enough to impact on how the fight is played. HoW in general is crap for rewards. New armour pieces that look horrid, but are easy to get and give the max light stupidly easy, and almost all of the new weapons aren't worth chasing. Once you're done with the ciphers, there really isn't much reason to play until September.
-
I think the rewards could be much better. 2 Etheric Lights should be given.
-
He's not bad if you and your team can communicate and coordinate
-
We complete entire 35 in an hour and a half each time. I've only done it twice too. I mean I find the preskolas rounds a lot more difficult to complete than skolas
-
Waste of my time, not fun, and I will probably not attempt it either. I was optimistic at first but I would have prefered a raid in retrospect.
-
5 RespuestasEndgame is meant to be a challenge for the skilled. I'd you can't do it tough.
-
I've heard the elders sipher has been dropping like crazy I barely beat him last week cause I actually got a group together and it dropped for 2 of us
-
The fight doesnt take a lot of skill. This fight is all about communication. Last week it was hard because of the lightswitch.
-
He needs to drop the scorch cannon
-
I beat him in 8 minutes before
-
1 RespuestaMe and my friend beat him on our first try. EVER. He's too easy
-
1 RespuestaEditado por Dona: 7/14/2015 8:58:00 PMMy team beat skolas in like 20 min with no mic and total 1:24 min.

2 Respuestasi just need to do it once

1 RespuestaI didn't find it too hard. And if the game didn't have some sort of challenge what would be the point?
-
1 RespuestaI beat skolas twice. Once with solar burn, the other time with no burn. He's not that hard, you just have to clear ads, then fire rockets at him like crazy. And switch the poison between players. It's called communication.
-
1 RespuestaI have done him without the burn, but the OP is right. Its really not worth the time investment. I have a good team, and we communicate well, but I dont want to do it for a chance at some garbage weapons and one etheric light I really dont need.
-
Skolas is easy, the hard part is finding a team that communicates well. Cant tell you how many times ive been with a group and fail right after the bombs come up because they dont communicate whats going on and die from the essence. I personally choose not to run Skolas, i dont want to deal with stupid people. At least with POE 28-34 i can still beat it even if my teammates suck. Ive always been a one character person but decided to make 3 characters just so i can get 3 etheric light a week since i decided not to do skolas
-
Adds and mines are linked to his health, plan accordingly. Clear adds, push him past the edge for mines when everyone's up and supered. Don't rush it for push too hard. It's kinda easy if you take your time, cover up, rotate when necessary (only when necessary).
-
Skolas is quite easy once you figure out how to beat him. I've beaten him every week, many times with people who had never beat him. The key is to go slow. You don't want to inflict as much damage as possible, like other boss fights, because more enemies will be released. Slowly take his health down until enemies spawn, kill all the enemies, then work on skolas again. If you start to get overwhelmed, take a lap around the outside of the map, only stopping to shoot if you're in danger of dying. That's probably the biggest key. Don't be afraid to run a lap, and stop to regroup to kill more ads. Also, mines spawn when he has half health and quarter health, so make sure everyone has their supers ready to go for them. When someone dies, just take a lap and let the enemies follow you away from their orb. If everyone sticks to the outside of the map, reviving them should be a breeze. I can help on ps4, if someone needs it. The one thing I hate is the rewards. I have 3 of the elemental weapons, and neither of them get touched. I have all of the exotics, and while they're new and fun, they're hardly close to replacing what already exists .

Skolas is boring

Editado por Tankerx5: 7/14/2015 8:03:51 PMLol first time I killed Skolas I got an elder cipher :)

1 RespuestaDidn't get around to it before the burn was removed, twice since. Supposed to be hard - it was imho. Main issue I have is the relatively lame rewards for the time to fight it out - I can solo most of CE (working on soloing crota) and 2 man crota in under 1/2hr for a pile of stuff (already have it all but not the point). Decent VOG team is looking at 1/2hr to 45min with loot along the way I didn't time it but it seemed like by the time you get to Skolas, and then beat him (especially with light switch on) the rewards increase compared to 34 which is typically 1/2hr or so, isn't very motivating given there is no check point. buff to the elemental primary drop rate, double the light/mats, exotic chance, etc....
