Fight it and beat it yourself. Until then you have no opinion.

As soon as you mentioned cheesing i stopped reading sorry buddy, your opinion otherwise may have been viable 1. The skolas fight is a pain in the ass 2. We don't exploit a bug, the timer is not a bug, it's the mechanic, simple as that. To be able to actually coordinate to finish it that quickly without getting blown to pieces by that insane scorch cannon that two shots you requires some epic teamwork and communication, he must remain stunned, you must have everything figured out and understood immediately with no hiccups at all. Besides if you manage to get through all the rest of it, why not kick back and enjoy a nice calm stroll down gjally lane and bath in the beauty of melting everythings face off, (pun intended those -blam!-ing yellow captains are invincible and will own you even with a melted face)

[quote]From seeing most of the gameplay mechanics of the Boss fight with Skolas, I've discovered the flaw that allows there to be such thing as a "killed Skolas in 25 seconds" vid. When the Servitor Bonds are broken, they run on a timer. This lets guardians pound into Skolas with as much damage those Wolf-pack Rounds can output, without any real cutoff point. This can be remedied simply. Instead of it running on a timer, the bonds will reform or whatever when you have removed about 20% or 25% of his health. I know this would work because This is essentially how Taniks the scarred could encounter us all those times in the Nightfall and survive. This lets you actually have a boss fight that plays out instead of what I can undoubtably say is a cheese festival. For all the people who want to just cheese through it for the easy rewards, why? The main reason the community got into an uproar about the Arena is that we wouldn't be having any raid quality engagements. Yet this boss fight is basically what we were against having. Edit: I am not including weapons of light in this equation because the actual effect of it has little value on rocket launchers. Edit 2: I am not basing my idea off of experience, I am basing it off of the game mechanic itself. Disclaimer: I might just be talking out of my ass since I have not actually fought Skolas myself. But I have watched enough of the gameplay and reviewed the gameplay mechanics enough to believe I am right about this problem.[/quote] This sounds like a post from someone that hasn't killed Skolas.. The fight is ridiculous without Gjallarhorn rushing. Try the fight before suggesting dumb things.

Wow, you are one dense mother[b]f[/b]ucker! 1. [quote]Cheese festival[/quote] Really? Killing boss with weapons without using glitches, exploits or anything is now called cheese? 2. Have you actually played it? There're too much mechanics in this fight: 1) Bullet sponge boss with extremely powerful weapon 2) Poisoning essence 3) Critical objective 4) Shittone of enemies 5) Servitor bonds And you want to make it even harder? Seriously? Go [b]f[/b]uck yourself!

Hahahaha wtf. Go play the damn 35 PoE then come back with an opinion. +it's not like this is some great deduction from a well developed mind, it's just that nobody is stupid enough to actually want to make it more difficult. Not only that but using a weapon to kill a boss is now a cheese. I quit these forums.

"I watched it on youtube, now I have an opinion" or you could play it and realize how hard it is. Plus most bosses go down fast with Solar Burn and Ghorn.

I think that Bungie [i]has to know[/i] that people [b]will[/b] fire all the Gjallarhorns all the time by now. If that doesn't factor in to their planning I would be amazed.

Well no, it's solar burn so ofc every1 will abuse solar burn. Next week will be different so it'll be harder it's like doing omnigul nightfall with solar burn. Should they do something to make her live longer? I wish people would stop complaining about people using Gjallarhorn when it's supposed to be used. Jesus....

If it makes you feel better, beat him my first time legitly running all over the place and not knowing we were able to hit him after the bonds were broken and took and hour and a half to pull it off. It was so hard getting the mines without dying by him or the other fallen, we lost once when he had less than 1/6 of health left. So not everything "Cheeses" it. Or at least not at first. I found the challenge to be awesome. Made it fun having to figure out my own strategy. But 1 and a half hours or 20seconds each time after? I choose 20 seconds. I don't have 2hrs+ to blow on poe35 everytime I wanna kill him. Not everyone can dedicate that much time that I know on my list.

Are you stupid or something. It's only because of solar burn. Next reset if the modifier changes we won't be able to take skolas down this way

Believe me, you will not survive the fight any other way. The chances are [b]extremely[/b] small. We tried it for hours, all kinds of different tactics. There is a difference between very hard and close to impossible. This impossibly comes from the huge amount of enemies (some of them "can one shot you"), not the boss himself. Combine that with the objectives, no real place to hide and poison effect the players receive. Finally, as a bonus, you are a level lower then all those enemies. Good luck man. This isn't crota or atheon hard. This is insanity.

Weirdo

Explain how using a gun that is in the game is a cheese? You are just talking out your ass, shut your mouth because you're making yourself look like an idiot.

Watching the gameplay, and actually doing it, is not the same thing my friend.

I don't see how it is cheesing or breaking the game. You have 20 seconds to deal damage. If people can deal a lot of damage in that 20 second window why should they be penalized? That's the mechanics of the fight. P.s. I don't have a Ghjallahorn and I haven't beaten lvl35. I don't see this method as a problem. It is effective use of weapons.

I like how easily the term cheese is thrown about. Listen. Getting your whole team to get the proper equipment for this and have the ammo ready is an actual strat. Just because someone finds an easy way to do something doesn't mean there is an issue. It's called being effective. Now if you could skip actual mechanics of a designed encounter then that is a real problem. But this isn't skipping anything. They still have to break the bonds, kill the boss, and disarm the mines.
