Hard raid is almost impossible. Bungie should either nerf it down a little or give us new armor so we can get to level 33. What do you guys think???
Edit 1: guys, im not talking about the entire raid. First two parts are actually as easy as they were. Im talking about specifically Crota, the boss (duh).
No chalice
Enemies above your level
Crota takes just half damage from sword hits
Its just unbalanced
tip: don't even try the hard raid unless everyone in your team has at least level 31 armor (33 light), although this still gives you a ~40% nerf, so ideally you will have 6 x 32 armor (36 light) in your party and only have to deal with a 27% nerf.
You can buy your way to level 31.25 armor so there's no excuse to not be a 31.
You only need to do the normal CE raid 3 to 6 times to get at least 3 pieces of 32 armor, and then you can buy the missing piece from Xur, so it's not hard to get to level 32. This is good practice to prepare your team for the hard raid.
Raids are meant to be a team effort, so act like one and the hard raid will be much easier.
