My fireteam's blind raid progress (no spoilers) (Destiny)

There's already some debate over two different approaches to one of this raid's encounters. I'd be curious to know how your blind team solves that one :)

This is fascinating to me. I'd done that encounter 3 or 4 times by the time I raided with you, and felt that the OTHER method (the one your group doesn't use) was trivial to implement, and pretty rock-solid. I'd read your description here on the forum, of your technique, and I remember thinking "that is just SERIOUSLY complicated, and unnecessarily so." But as a 6th to an existing raid group, I knew better than to argue - you do what you're told when you join a group that already has strats. And as I told you after completing the section, my opinion changed; your way wasn't more convoluted - it just sounded like it was. It worked fine. I still questioned how necessary it was, though - my experience with you has been that you settle on the most efficient techniques, always, and the other way seemed pretty efficient, so...

Two nights later, I ran the raid with a different group, and went back to the more common technique. And we failed, more than half a dozen times, for half a dozen reasons. (We eventually nailed it, but not before NOT nailing it, a lot.)

So I'm once again revising my opinion - not only is your method not more convoluted, it's probably objectively better. :)
