Suggestion for running the _________ *Raid SP* (Destiny)

What we do is more... modular. You always help the person on your left. When helping, you shoot the bottom arrow. When shooting your own set of arrows, you shoot the top arrow.

Why not pair off and always shoot the same arrow (top, or bottom)? Less switching, less confusion.

This method makes all four positions function identically, and if one of your raiders is replaced for some reason, anyone who knows this method can jump right in regardless of which position they're filling. One last note: There's a strategy on the internet that has helpers shooting to the right. This is an inferior method. When you help the left hand guy, you can then watch the runner as he approaches your position and be 100% prepared. You'll never be surprised by him showing up.

I don't see why you'd be off your platform and unprepared when the runner calls out… If everyone starts on their platforms, and leaves only to punch the psion, then gets back on, you're not going to be surprised.

Remember… you can shoot another person's arrows without being on your own platform. In this way right has the advantage. You don't have to get back on your platform right away after killing your psion.

If you're looking right and one runner is faster than the other, he might surprise you. If you're looking left, you'll know he's on his way. Edge case, I admit.
