The orbs last about 20 seconds due to the gaze switching or having to leave the pit to avoid death. I've read every word and I do see the other side. You're right, 5 people do more dps than 4. But thats burst dps and because of the add phase you deal with by losing the gaze it takes longer to kill Golgoroth despite having more people. What you're looking for in boss fights such as this is sustained dps rather than burst dps. Some fights require burst dps but this one requires sustained due to the nature if the fight. If you could burst him down in one orb that would be different but you can't. The add phase its what causes the one orb method to be slower and nothing more.

The problem with your method though is you WILL run out of sniper ammo after the second orb. It is not slower nor is it faster. You see from what I understand is a single cycle is 6 orb drops correct? In 6 orb drops I have seen his health get to half in one cycle which is good BUT, when you do the one orb method you can get his health to half with a single orb or at least 1/3rd. Now the ads. The ads are extremely easy to deal with and IF someone does die then you can wait it out and continue with the plan. It leaves room for error. The one orb method allows you to be able to make a mistake and still do the DPS needed. The point of killing ads is so we can get ammo and our supers back for the second orb. It usually takes a minute to clear adds if you use all your heavy. Now when the taken spawn in we don't kill them. We just go for it. Get the gaze pop the orb and activate WoL and a Tether. Both strategies work but the one Orb method does give you more DPS. Yes it might be in pulses but it does more damage faster than rotating through 6 orbs. Would you rather risk your team dying in the pit trying to rotate OR take down a single orb and do the damage you would do while rotating except within 20 seconds. If you do it right, you only have to drop 2-3 orbs in total and you Got a dead shrek. At this point it is whatever works best for you and your team. There is no wrong or right way but I am saying that doing the single does more DPS.
