A Thought About Destiny's Reception (Destiny)

I'm not going to try and dissuade you since you are having fun with the game, but Phogoth is absolutely tedious. The best strategy is to keep killing spawns until they stop spawning (which they will do after 7 or 8 waves or something or the other) at which point you're left with nothing to do but fire off rounds until he turns towards you, duck behind a pillar, reload, duck back out again. Rinse, repeat, ad nauseum. It took my first strike team more than 5 minutes of continuous bullet sponge after we cleared all the spawns.

I would add also that virtually every strike boss plays out this exact same kill the adds then play hide and seek behind a pillar until a massive health pool is whittled away scenario. I find this to be very tedious.

Why don't you just forget the "best strategy" and get at it? Wouldn't that be fun, and challenging?
