So... mayhem. (Destiny)

I think most people are doing it wrong.

In the same way that trials is very different than regular crucible, so is mayhem.

Having it be the marks rotation for the week I got a chance to play 6-7 rounds this week. It was enlightening.

It reminded me that the really good players in trials don't even look at you half the time before you're dead. They know where you'll be and, with the motion tracker, where you are hiding.

For mayhem, I found that when you ran in a pack of 3-4 then you'd consistently win (unless you ran into a hammer titan, then they'd pretty much wipe out the pack). I was on both sides of this. Teamwork wins matches. Consistently.

It's a bit of a twitch-fest, but it's definitely growing on me. And it's definitely got some strategy to it, moreso than "spam super/grenades". I mean, that helps, but it could be so much better if you coordinated a little.

Next time I run in a group of 3 or more I'd like to try out the sunsinger super that recharges teammates supers. Would be an orb-fest of epic proportions.
