I really don't know what to say... (Destiny)

Thanks Disciple and Jaimez for attempting Skolas with me; I'm sorry I got Caterpillar'd TWICE and can't stay up past midnight (I know...).

Four times now, each try clocking over 3 hours total. It saddens me that the only solution SEEMS to be "just throw more time at it"..."Here, bang your head against this wall for a couple more hours and you might get something less valuable than if you played something else for a fraction of the time". That's the opposite of fun!

I really want to complete my "accolade circle" or whatever it's called, but trying and failing at the same thing every week, FOUR TIMES in a row is just making me question why I'm even playing at all....

Is it just me? Has anyone else had such a supremely AWEFUL experience with Skolas?

P.S. And yes, for the record; we're doing the strategies, rotating around under the platform, the whole deal. I read the tip-posts, they were very helpful, in theory. Apparently I just really suck fhat bad ...

This past weekend was my first ever success with Skolas--I definitely know the feelings of frustration, etc., when you throw in the towel. It isn't just you.

Does there seem to be something in particular that is causing your wipes--the debuff, mines?

Last week the debuff was definitely brutal, and made the whole fight just drag on slowly, eating up time. This week, last night, I would say it was the mines. We actually did take things very slow and methodically, and we got to 2nd-mines once. But I think we got careless on who we sent where the 2nd time and couldn't recover, and this fight has literally ZERO forgiveness which is another thing I don't find fun. At least if we could come back another night and pick up where we left off, it wouldn't be nearly as frustrating or feel as futile.
