Ways I learned to die on Crota's End (flawless) (Destiny)

First of all, Congrats! Unlocking Flawless Raider is quite a thrill :)

Thanks!

I've done 2 Flawless runs through Crota now. The first time we didn't have too much trouble with the initial drop. The 2nd time, a few months later, we had the absolute worst luck getting everyone into the Abyss alive. Someone died on the landing almost every single time.
Eventually, we decided to change things up. Cyber and I dropped down into the pit together, while the rest of our group stayed up top. Cyber and I 2-manned the Abyss together. When we warped to the next section of the raid, everyone was teleported in with us.

Ahh, we failed to properly isolate the variable. Would have made our lives a bit easier. #sciencefails

Yeah, Crota himself sure doesn't put up as much of a fight as he used to. I kind of love the Crota raid more than ever now because your fireteam just shreds their way through hundreds of enemies in a fun and chaotic series of battles :)

I really enjoy that raid. While I like the overall feel and mechanics of VoG better, CE is the one I killed a lot of time in trying to figure out how to solo/dual it with UpNorth. Doing that helped me master certain elements of it and it's where I really began to feel competent as raid organizer/leader. There's something nostalgic about it that I just love.
