I was playing the Lake of Shadows (I am Light 357 and my team is roughly 360-ish, keep in mind the recommended Light level is 350.) [b]IT TOOK US 45+ MINUTES BECAUSE BLACKOUT WAS JUST RUINING US!![/b] The Phalanx Shield Blasts just destroyed us, the Taken blast things on the walls are considered melee so it instantly killed us, Grask's melee has an extreme amount of range (and hardly any way to tell) so it just destroyed us. Thrall's would teleport and instantly killed us. Yeah, I guess Void Singe is nice (and a little deadly when it needs to be) and the Guardian buff that comes with each Heroic Strike is a little nice. But that doesn't compensate for the INSTANT DEATH from a melee. Oh yeah, I should mention that [i]Shield Blast goes through walls and terrain. [/i] I think that the modifier should change more instead of constantly having the same type of modifier over and over again. Blackout shouldn't be a constant, and you shouldn't have to be Light 370 to do a Light 350 mission. [i]P.S.: I also feel like it is kinda dumb that a Heroic Strike is more difficult than a Nightfall[/i]
