Junior and both need it, but we couldn't start until 9:00pm PST, and I doubt he would last much beyond 11:00.

Having spent at least 10 hours on it this weekend, I just don't think Skolas is worth doing. Maybe after I have like 200 light I might consider trying again. No triumphs for me. It wouldn't be so bad if Bungie had included a checkpoint after each round so I could beat everything before Skolas once and come back to finish later, but 5+ hours to take him down is just too long. Raids are only 2-3 hours long mostly.

Pretty much entirely agree. Lots of those rounds were entirely devoid of fun. We beat The VIP round probably entirely because I got dropped from the game and then joined back in an opportune location.

I do think that Skolas was fun though I would probably be singing a different tune if we hadn't bested him in the end. The Skolas mechanics were almost as interesting as Raid encounter mechanics. Too many adds to actually enjoy the mechanics.
