Was impossible for me too, until I got my exotic sword. Then me and a buddy 2-manned it on the 2nd try with 2 exotic swords and weapons of light. As soon as boss is downed with swords, focus on blights. Then use a heavy synth and blessings of light to finish adds
I don't know what to say. Get better people to play it with? Honestly I have ran it 3 times and and done it first time each time, the first time was the quickest then as we took slightly worse players through it the time got longer. Just -blam!-ing kill everything it's honestly not that hard.
If you need help next time around I will help, just add me. The way we did it is we made sure we were topped off with heavy for our exotic swords, rushed in and put a bubble up. then hit him with the hunter arrow that tethers longer, and all 3 smashed him with the R2 till he was dead going in and out of the bubble so we could keep getting a shield from blessings of light. Rushed out killing blights then the enemies with our swords. we ended it with a little more than minute left.
I have yet to do this, got damn close with 3 sub 300 players , people need to realise that the blights and ads need taking out fast! Screw the boss till the end
A 300, a 295, and a 298. We got it done with a minute and a half left out first go as that group. If you have exotic swords your best bet is to have a hunter pop a smoke and then all three of you fly to the middle and spam r2 attacks on whatever sword. Make sure to have max scabbard upgrades. Also don't try to use bolt-caster at range cause it will arc unseasonably towards the many hundreds of psions near the boss.
Once the boss is dead just kill the blight orbs. Once that's out of the way I recommend a stormtrance warlock or two super and run as fast as they can around the map and only target the psions. Everyone pop heavy ammo packs and just r2 heavy sword the remaining captains, Knights, and centurions.
And viola! The black spindle and Vienna singer are yours!
(Did this three times in a row on my warlock and their progressively lower level characters, warlock and Hunter are the best for this fight imo, point is exotic swords make the difference)
We had a guy running sunsinger and trying to res and kill blight orbs that way, but it's just useless with all the enemies. He was a little inebriated admittedly, but don't use sunsinger.
Did this last Thursday. Tried with only 2, but got murdered. Friend got on and we were 305-308-309. Was a major pain. Proof that this weapon should have stayed a 310.
