Also you have time before it is a nightfall please junk the sparrow and give us a weapon. Something like the bosses weapon. Lord of wolves type shotgun. Maybe make it better then the d1 lore of wolves and have it do bonus damage to fallen. At least fallen yellow bars. This would be worth grinding. The sparrow won't be worth grinding for unless it is can make you go invisible like the boss.

Honestly, even though the boss is the main source of ire, I just find everything about the strike to be distasteful. Considering the first long trek, super annoying arc shanks (on higher difficulty, I just find their health to be needlessly high compared to everything else), a 'stand here and don't die' area , then another trek (albeit shorter, but why we need beams of light I have no clue), and then finally a boss that dips every 10 seconds (with more annoying shanks). Nothing about the strike is challenging, it's all cumbersome. Walk, wait, fight while waiting, walk, wait, fight, wait, fight boss, wait every 10 seconds. Meanwhile, my favorite strikes being the Vex Strike on Nessus, the Cabal strike on Earth, and the Hive strike (despite it having the worst dialogue I've ever heard), are giving you nice, steady streams of enemies without [u]forcing[/u] you to wait on every little thing to happen. And then the bosses give you constant action, not pausing the fight when they feel like it The players control the pace of the strike. The cabal area with the Two tanks can be both rushed, if you have team efficiency, and partially bypassed (but isn't so easy as to just dismiss it either). The boss itself can be controlled to with the right DPS (skip shield domes, but spawn enemies faster). You have control based on how well you do, not on what the strike forces players to do. The Hive strike, while you wait for doors to open, doesn't force you into a tiny circle. The Shriekers can be rushed (although, again, the well designed strike makes that risky), but it never forces you to stop. The boss is also pretty well done. Sure, it 'does' stop the fight, however, the fight can still be fought as fast as the guardians want by wiping the floor of the adds. It never feels slow because we still have the ability to speed it up if we do well. The Vex Strike keeps an almost constant pace and, in its infinite wisdom, [u]does not[/u] make you walk/sparrow 7 miles back to back. Rather, it gives you fun grav lifts and the one part that is a sparrow stretch is filled with intentionally placed enemies and ships (not just random patrol pikes) to add a chaos to it. It makes the trek [u]enjoyable[/u] whereas the Fallen Nesus strike makes it as burdensome as possible... And, of course, I think the Vex boss is my favorite of them all. Well crafted, balanced, and unique. Not only is it balanced, it's fun. It combines adds that aren't too overwhelming (but still dangerous) and rewards guardians who are efficient (where optimal DPS easily skips phase 2 OR you can save some DPS to drop the boss and avoid the 'fanatic' phase). It makes you think about which part is the most important to burn through the fastest, especially at the higher difficulty. Meanwhile, the Fallen Nessus strike removes any sort of reward for DPS. Got a lot of damage in? Well, too bad, you're still going to have 8 more teleports. No matter what you do, what comp you have, it's the nearly the exact same amount of time (the same scenario that Oryx had, but... you know... a lot less awesome). Concerning the boss itself, the real problem is that the boss should teleport [u]no more[/u] than 4 times. Not only would that allow guardians to feel like they're actually doing good DPS, but it also allows less 'add spawn time' to elongate the strike. Add more adds to the waves, but make it so there is less waves. It can be [u]just as difficult[/u] but a lot less time consuming. That is what this strike needs. It's just so out of the players hands, efficiency wise, that there's no point to doing it. There's no achievement for being efficient, there's no rush of pumping out damage, because all you're doing is waiting for the game to [u]allow you[/u] to [u]finally[/u] finish each part, not due to strategy or team comp, but almost exclusively due to scripted events. -- And if there was, you know, just one area that had to be timed (like the arc scan circle part) that would be fine. But constantly having 'wait events' just adds up to the point you start actively thinking about all the other things you could be doing during your waiting periods. I'm not saying that wait events are bad. You can make good and fun wait events (like securing a fort, or killing waves of Hive, or anything that [u]actively engages[/u] the player) but it's wait events where you're, literally, waiting for something to happen (as in, nothing to shoot or reason to do anything for 10-15 seconds) is just bad design. And, again, I'm not saying you 'can't' have these events as these events are bound to happen (for story reasons or whatever). But the Fallen Nessus strike has them back to back to back to back to back to back in [u]almost every encounter[/u]. That's the problem.
