Please don't be that person who shoots the smaller blights on the "aberrations in reality" taken public event. In order to make that event heroic, we need to step in and out of the smaller blights in order to get the 4 second buff to damage the larger blight in the center.
Ever see friendlies shooting at you or meleeing you while you are shooting the smaller blights? I think they are trying to tell you something.
There is nothing more frustrating while doing public events than to see people still shooting the smaller blights and preventing the rest of us from turning the event heroic.
I understand many people still don't know this, and that's reasonable...which is why I need as many of those people to see this as possible.
UPVOTE so we can all get this loot!
Thank you for your time.

Edit:
Also great method from boogie_man_49i that I was unaware of:
"Although I'm sure there may still be some that don't know how to turn it heroic, there is also a method to the madness of shooting the first one or two [rounds of] smaller blights.
The larger blight takes less damage at each progressive [spawn] location in order to turn it heroic.
So, IF you don't have enough people on the event to take it down right away [at the first location], it's easier to just push it to the next location and turn it heroic there rather than wasting ammo on the first one."
(Great point by boogie! Clearly, I'm more so referring to instances where there are plenty of people to take it down at the first spawn location...which would be much faster than a bunch of people pushing it to the 3rd location intentionally.)
Edit 2: YES, you do get more rewards in the form of (at least) additional tokens and legendaries that frequently drop from the yellow bar enemies that spawn after the heroic trigger (e.g., think the yellow-bar war hound/dog during the heroic Cabal Drill PE or the multitude of yellow bars and the big yellow-bar that spawns during the heroic Glimmer Drill PE).
In addition to the small boost in XP and Clan XP for doing heroic PEs, you also get more XP for killing the yellow bars during heroic events simply b/c killing yellow bar enemies gives you more XP.

2 RepliesI shoot them every time and will continue to do so.

7 RepliesIts always so funny to see the babies get so upset when you kill the blights the un-heroic way. So many hate messages sent to me when i dance at the end of a regular event clear. Aleays a good laugh at the (not so few) times i get a swear filled message that i have a good laugh at while also reporting the message
-
That's the reason I usually skip this event.

Yep Wardcliff Coil, you can get Heroic going before griefers or noobs are able to prevent it.

1 ReplyWardcliff Coil takes 4-5 shots to start heroic. I've never had someone manage to end the event before I opened the blight.

Doesn't help that it's impossible to tell if the randoms are being efficient by waiting til the third area to pop the big blight quickly or just don't know what they're doing til it's too late.

i seem to be lucky the last few days and have people that know what their doing lol
