hijack - swords... (Destiny)

Maybe, I'm planning on running the exotic sword strike first though. Throw up a fireteam builder.

Just out of curiosity... what sword are you going for?

(We tried last night - came really close twice, but took too long between warden and Alak-Hul... 45 seconds the first time, about a minute the second. It's TOUGH.)

We've got two people - void and arc at the moment. (We're not crazy enough to try and do them simultaneously - we were planning on running them consecutively, but gave up after 3 tries at void.)

Are you not widdling Alak-Hul down first? We basically got him to the point where you can sneeze on him, then kill the knight, then sneeze on Alak-Hul.

We did the first time. Unfortunately, we did the same for the knight (mostly by accident) - and we sneezed on him without noticing. By the time we realized he was dead, it was too late.

The second time, we made an effort to keep more health on the knight until the end, and accidentally transferred that care over to Alak-Hul - we left him with somewhere between 5-10%, which was just too much to burn after the knight went down.

It's one thing to say "leave only a sliver of health, then stop shooting" when you're fighting one guy... it's another thing when you're surrounded by adds, totally in the dark, and on the precipice of death for a 10-minute stretch. :)

We'll get it eventually, I suppose - but it's one of the harder fights I've had to do, and not just because you're getting pounded. (Plus, you're fighting 300 light guys - and all of us were in the 290s, one a 293.)
