The burns don't work against you this week (Destiny)

Last night.

I still think you might just be good and you're not remembering your days as a worse player fondly. Omnigul on heroic is a different beast. It is pretty easy. You may be remembering it on no burn nightfall. Cursed thralls are survivable even on epic at full health. Only like 3 enemies on the nightfall actually do void damage, giving you the time to use a non elemental primary. This combined with you being good may make you be surprised at how easy it is.

I remember running Draksis about a month ago and thinking "wow, this is it?" It used to be hard. It weren't no more. Theoretically, your light level may be helping you, but on the nightfall, the enemies were basically the same light level as you anyway. I don't think it is, but it's possible.

I don't know. It definitely felt like, in both strikes, I was able to move through the gamespace without getting pinned down and without getting insta-gibbed as soon as I broke cover. That's a really new feeling for me in the higher tier PvE of this game. It was not like the strike playlist where it's just a cakewalk; I was definitely being punished if I stayed in the open too long or got stuck on geometry or something, but I was able to move, cover to cover, in a way that I have not been able to before.

As Funkmon pointed out, very few Hive enemies deal Void damage, and none of them do Solar damage, so the burns this week worked completely in our favor. In most nightfall strikes, it is the burns that make enemy fire so deadly. That simply isn't the case with this week's strike.

Absolutely, but the Weekly Heroic (with no burns) also felt a lot more fair and fun.
