Strikes in D2 (Destiny)

So I'm not much of a Crucible guy (Mayhem was a bast though!) so I've been running the Heroic Strike Playlist a lot lately. One of the things I'm continually impressed with is the balance of difficulty during "boss encounters". When I'm running with two other DBOers who I play regularly with, they're challenging, we need to focus, but ultimately, we prevail without wiping. When I'm running with randoms (and we're not talking) though, we almost always wipe once. Usually, we've done 80-90 percent of the encounter and we just get a little overwhelmed. But we almost always get it on our second try. IMO this is what a well-designed encounter should do! Make you look at your strategy, re-evaluate where you should use your power ammo (which you typically have less of on the second run) and make better fireteam decisions.

tldr: Destiny 2 has perfected strike encounters (especially bosses) and I can't wait to get more!
