tl;dr: Cody thinks HoW is good. Thinks 2/3 of it is success. (Destiny)

In fact! I heard that YOU were having a very tough time with Skolas, and decided to do the "3 Gjallarhorn" method. So that makes you a wee bit disingenuous and hypocritical.

You heard partially right. Yes we were having a hard time. Solar burn was brutal. I wanted to do it "legit", but time was running out and the other 2 had to go. Someone else suggested this method, and we did it. It was better than bailing and not killing him. This was acceptable, because at the end of the day I wasn't really enjoying it too much. Vault of Glass first time? I enjoyed every second, even while dying repeatedly! 12 hours gladly spent. If I had to spend 12 hours on the level 35 PoE, I'd shoot myself.

Yes you can kill the templar fast too, but you have to use his mechanics. His shield doesn't go down on its own, and you have to block teleports. Yes you can kill atheon quickly, but you need to kill the oracles, get time's vengeance, and get everybody back. Yes you can kill Crota quickly, but you still have to down his shield and use the sword. Skolas? You can completely bypass the Corrupted Light and mine defusing. Did you even read my post? Skolas is the only high level boss on which you can just ignore his mechanics and still win. That's what's disappointing.

Literally the ONLY reason you can do this is because of the Elemental burns. And we've been lucky that we've had them, because I'm fairly sure they won't be around to save us next week. I'm sure it'd be entirely possible to bypass Atheon's mechanics if a swarm of Gjallarhorns started pounding him as soon as he spawned if VoG had Solar burn...

But at least you admitted that you've been lying about Skolas, since this "too easy" fight gave you a ton of trouble.
