Just wanted to see what the majority of people are doing to kill skolas. I have a feeling it's mostly burning him down as quick as possible based on what I've seen in the LFG section.
Edit: looks like a lot of people do both. I should've added that option in the poll. Just to clear it up guys I'm not asking how to do it because I need help. I've done both strategies multiple times now
Edit 2: lots of people are doing it legit in anticipation for a no burn week. I'm not looking forward to that!
Edit 3: I honestly thought this poll would be full of nothing but people who burned him since everyone on LFG wants to burn everything. What a nice surprise
Edit 4: for those of you who have not beat skolas, there's like 2 dozen people in here listing strats if you don't know how to do it. I've beat him 9 times guys, I know how it works lol
Edit 5: those of you that haven't beaten it, why haven't you?

3 Odpowiedzi6.5 hours legit but got it done. It's real bitch. Titan bubble set up stage left in front of the shank door with saint 14 to blind. Everyone snipes for critically until 1 round left, pop synth rinse and repeat. Hope that mine A spawns next to you and profit.

Mixture of the first two

1 OdpowiedźThanks for asking for pretty much impossible.

3 OdpowiedziI haven't beaten it yet because I consistently get booted when people on LFG discover I haven't got a Gjallarhorn. People seem to take that missing weapon as a measure of my skill, not my 1100 hours, multiple raid completions, flawless Trials of Osiris runs and host of elemental weapons...baffling.

3 OdpowiedziNot going to lie, I have everything I need to beat it. I just think I'm not good enough to! XD

Beat him Today One warlock, one hunter, one defender titan with saint 14. started with bubble left side broke his bond continued dps till first set of mines spawned, dismantled them. Went to the other side to kill enemies and gain supers again popped a bubble did some more dps till second set of mines spawned. Dismantled Finally went in to kill him after that. It helps to have the hunter take the furthest mine if you are warlock with self res you should use that for the middle incase you die capping the mine. Unless the titan wants to pop a bubble and cap all up to you. But I got it done got the shader and card didn't get the ship though :(

Burn him with void snipers, high impact ones like LDR work well, make sure they are 365. Have WOL bubble from a Titan and just get crits on him, stun locking him. Then, hope the mine spawns right next to you and keep shooting him, and you should have him beat. If it spawns away, have a bladedancer Hunter go invisible and dismantle them, with the other 2 continuing to take down Skolas. Make sure you have full sniper ammo, and a special ammo synth to back you up once you run out. If you got a void heavy, though, you can also use that after running out of sniper ammo. I would reccomend a machine gun as opposed to rockets.

Mostly just burn. Way quicker.

1 OdpowiedźMy group did better with void MG's than rockets.
-
Both, aim to burn, but if something doesn't go right, go with the flow.

1 OdpowiedźWhy I haven't beaten him? Don't have 365 snipers with arc or void damage. I do have a Gjallarhorn for solar but the first week I was a 33. So I'm almost done with my void LDR and then I'll burn him down
-
1 OdpowiedźI just hit 34 on my Warlock, might try to void burn this weekend... I don't even mind the mechanics as long as it's not an arc burn week.

void snipers + truth
-
What we did is we ran and destroyed left servitor then put up weapons bubble. We burned him with 365 void snipers and tried to break his servitor bond thing. If we didn't break it we ran to right and waited till Skolas got to us to kill the right servitor,then hit him some more till his bonds broke. We went left and right, shooting Skolas when we could and ran to the other side whenever Skolas got too close. When he tainted our light, we communicated who had it, who would pick it up, and when. You should definitely all stick together. Decide who will defuse mines beforehand. When mines come, try to make the one who is going to defuse the mines (preferably hunter) have the tainted light, so someone else picks it up right before they leave for mines. This should give the mine person enough time. I noticed that it's really good to have a self res warlock for emergencies. After mines, regroup and continue to pass around the tainted light. Try to kill Skolas before the second round of mines come. If you don't kill Skolas in time, do the same thing as the first round. This is what my team did to kill Skolas. TL;DR: Communicate and beat the mechanics. Hope this helps.

Done both
-
Burned him with gally the first time, arc snipers the second time, the third and fourth times used void Efrideets til empty, then rotated and told his azz the Truth!!!!
-
3 OdpowiedziI'm not even close to trying. I don't play PvP so I'm not swimming in etheric light like everyone else, gotta level that sh*t up the hard way.

Ran it just like last week. We popped WoL and sniped him down until it triggered the first set of mines and cycled around the map clockwise. We had it set where the hunter was to help dismantle the center mine without having the curse essence both times. We actually dismantled both rounds of mines before killing skolas so that way we could get grouped up to kill him and if needed we could pass around the essence. First week was just plain simple and last week was a pain in the arse. I thought this week was pretty easy too considering it took us just a couple hours to beat it twice.
-
I just hit 34 this week. Just in the last few hours got my first 2 legendary guns to 365. I do have gally but that doesn't help this week on him. If i get time i will upgrade my void longbow with the next light i get so i can run skolas. The longbow i have is a fuking champion of snipers. Spray n play, field scout, final round. It's very very good, IMO. "they don't make em like that no more!"

Week 1 with solar burned, he was dead within a minute from 3 gallys. Didn't try him last week. This week we slowly killed with void snipers and 3 Truths. Probably took 15 minutes.
-
Beaten all the bosses legit. Some are a bit of a challenge but it's fine if all 3 are pulling their weight. Pretty much the key point is to stick together and focus mainly on adds with occasional dps on the boss. That applies to every boss in POE.
-
1 OdpowiedźCouldn't burn him this week since Truth is garbage of a Exotic and Void Sniper Rifles can only go so far with my team of all three using 365 Field Scout Void Rifles.. We did the disarming the mines after getting boss below 25% as if we were doing burn tactic then we all shot and finished him off before 2nd set of mines spawned. It is annoying to do this without rushing. Bungie made this a very trolled fight since adds just keep spawning unlike other boss fights where you have a break between waves of enemies to hit the boss.

1 and 2

Edytowany przez użytkownika D.Warlock13: 6/5/2015 9:00:33 PMThis is how I did it... Make sure your team has max ascended void snipers, honestly, I don't recommend praedyths and/or truth, hope it helps I was on my way to the second mine when he went down, you only need 1 player to go for the mines, preferably a hunter

We drop a weapons of light bubble and try to do as much damage as possible until the mines spawn. Then we have one designated person leave to dismantle the far mines and the other two stay to continue damaging Skolas. Dismantling the mines is paramount, but killing Skolas can make that process easier. I use an LDR, which does about 8K per headshot. If you're using Praedyth's Revenge you'll have to make every shot count, because it does less damage. Make sure you stay alive as best you can, communicate with each other and pay attention to the timer on the essence. Burning Skolas immediately is not as important, because the other enemies aren't as great of a threat as Solar or Arc burn. Here is a guide I found helpful.
