Since this seems to be a recurring issue in just about every fireteam I assemble for the final raid boss, I figured I would throw out a few pointers on how to not die so often in the final raid encounter, among other pointers. 1. There's pillars on left and right (haven't had much trouble with people dying in center) that you can hide behind when the boss is shooting siva swarms. Use those to your protection. Have your fireteam make call outs to where the boss rotates to so you can position a pillar between you and the boss. 2. The shanks are the deadliest thing in this encounter besides the cannon captains. Make sure to kill them as well as possible to avoid being killed by them. If you're having trouble, use a sniper, that's sure to take each out in one shot. 3. Kill the captain as soon as you see him start the empowering buffs. You don't have to worry if you're empowered or not to grab the cannon. You can slam the boss with the empowerment while holding a cannon. 4. Don't panic. Just make sure to get your servitor down asap after you grab a cannon. The designated ball throwers will take care of throwing the bombs, just kill the servitor. 5. Stay positive. When you get mad, or start yelling at your team, you generally start playing worse. Plus everyone's morale goes down, causing them to play worse. Being an a-hole isn't going to get you anything but more attempts. If scslayerage and epiccookies can two man it, we can 6 man it. This is how you better the community. Not by crying, not by being salty, but point out ways that the players who are less beneficial to your team can improve, and help them. Being an elitist gets you nowhere. Edit: if anyone else has things to share to help out, please be my guest in adding in to this. Let's help our guardians achieve victory. Edit: wow I can't believe there's so much action on this post, thank you guardians. Good to see positive comments mostly too.
