Love the changes to nightfall (Destiny)

Last night Disciple, INSANEdrive, and I ran the nightfall. We failed our first time by running out of time. We beat it the second time, but we were nowhere near completing the challenge with 5 minutes on the clock. The timer eliminates cheesing it by hanging back in a safe area. It also really does force the team to have specific rolls. Not only is damaging the bosses important, but with every kill adding time to the clock add control is also just as important.

The rotating burns also adds to the specified rolls of each teammate. Before our second run we coordinated our elements on our loadouts and we tried to call out when our burn was active. We forgot about it during some of the hectic fighting, but I see having your burns, especially on power weapons, well coordinated would greatly speed things up. Insane melted a tank in seconds with his rocket launcher when his burn came up.

I'm looking forward to running the nightfall every week and improving on techniques. This is way better than sitting behind crates and shooting the boss for 1 hour.
