He's not that scary. Me and some randoms from LFG killed him our first try.

Finally managed to record a clip of the entire Skolas boss fight. Haven't seen a ton of videos out there since Bungie removed the burns from the battle (thus removing our ability to cheese it). So for anyone who's interested, here's how the fight goes when you don't Gjallarhorn him to death in the first 20 seconds ;)

PS

Sorry about my anti-climactic death right at the end :-/

That was certainly the smoothest it's ever gone for me. Small arms can actually hurt since it decreases the damage of the heavies. I was surprised when we broke the bonds in the first go! Very helpful if you can do that!
