Just... wow. Apparently you can skip climbing up by going to the same room and having appropriate weapons and abilities stacked. If you are still blind, don't watch this as there are spoilers related to what happens after you do a ton of damage.

I second the "don't watch this if you are blind" - this strat essentially skips all of the encounter's mechanics. I'd recommend getting a clear without this just to be sure you're ready for the inevitable patch from Bungie that makes this not work.

That being said, I've done this and have some suggestions:

• Everyone (except the Titan) should have a void cluster rocket over 590. It must not have tracking - tracking seems to target Riven's eyes and that'll cause a wipe. Farm Gambit until you get a suitable "Bad Omens" that you can add a Boss Spec Mod to, or bring up an old Sins of the Past or Curtain Call if you have it in void.
  
• Hunters can use celestial nighthawk/golden gun to get some extra damage in while the tractor cannon is being applied
  
• Save a thrall for the Warlock to melee (Guiding Flame).
  
• The Titan should be quick - moving to fire tractor cannon the instant Riven appears, so they can drop down and get the Void Wall up quickly.
  
• You can set up the well further back than this video; make sure everyone is firing their rockets through the void wall.
  
• The void wall, well, and 5 sets of cluster rockets will absolutely kill your frame rate - be ready for that and don't let it affect your aim.
  
• Equip a sniper for when you need to do that little bit of final damage after the jumps.
