Raid Clinic (Crota on PS4 Edition) (Fireteam Builder Events)

CruelLEGACEY and I discovered that we were thinking the same thing at the precisely same time. There are key raid positions that some of us are uncomfortable taking during a raid. I confess that I AM ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE. We seldom get to practice in a low-pressure environment.

The idea of raid clinics is to provide that environment, and also provide guidance from a skilled player, which in this case is the very skilled CruelLEGACEY.

This week's focus is on swordbearing. We'll try to have a checkpoint ready, but if not we'll just speed thru. Once at Crota, we'll rotate and try to give everyone who signs up a chance to practice, maybe even with different characters.

We're thinking 9-11 EDT Thursday. Sign up here.

Thanks for your interest, and happy raiding.

Kermit & Cruel

P.S. I think I've mentioned this idea to a few of you on the Xbox side of things. Waiting for an instructor to commit. :)

I think that went well. Apologies to those who didn't get to run the sword--especially to Bigarm who I don't think has done it. (We'll probably try again this weekend, so join us if you see us with an empty spot). I kept the sword way too long (think I got into real raid mode--must continue doing this until we beat him!), but I have to say it was satisfying to see him to go down by my own hand.

A lot of the mystique of sword-running has been diminished--it was therapeutic for me, who had built it up into a big thing. Thanks to Cruel for giving fantastic advice all along the way. The last few runs I think I actually began feathering my jump!
