Crota's been taunting me for too long. Lets finish this.

As a side note, anyone down for a run to that first chest on their alts? Both of my alts are only level 27 so they cant actually run the raid, but they can grab that chest thats 3 feet from the door. Apparently it doesn't spawn if you try to do it solo.

You may find that (despite what Bungie said about needing to have a lvl 30 fireteam leader) you actually CAN go in at a lower level and get that chest. I went in solo yesterday with both my lvl 29 Warlock and lvl 28 Titan and got the chest.

Is the spawning on it just random?

Yes; apparently it moves around all over that area each time you respawn - so just keep going to that one spot and then let the thrills kill you until it's finally there.

Actually, I showed it to Sigbias and Alex yesterday afternoon and we made quite a fun game out of seeing which of the three of us could get the most kills each time between wipes. It got to the point where we would quietly but intentionally leave some of the thrills alone hoping they would kill the other guys and leave ourselves alive longer to get more kills. Sig even quietly saved his Sunsinger revive ability one time until Alex and I were both dead (cheater!). Much fun was had.

Not with Arcblade. Being a blade dancer is just beneficial since you can be invisible and not have to worry about him smashing you before his shields are down.

Turn on the perk that makes you invisible when you land a blink strike, increased invisibility duration, and blink strike cooldown reduction. Then you crouch to go invisible, and run up to Crota and stand next to him. You can begin damaging him while he starts crouching. Swipe your sword, and as he gets up drop it, then blink strike to go invisible again, and wait next to him until his shields are down a second time.

Strongly considering asking Korny if I can do this since I'm a hunter. I do have my massive 331 attack Gjallarhorn and a 331 sniper though, so I might need to be on Crota shield team as well as killing Ogres and sword bearer. We'll see.

I'd allow it, but you've got some DPS that we needs. I say Sammy or Guardian does it, since it really does work...
Running it with a group a couple of days ago, and on the first double-drop paired with the death-cheese, Dancey McBlinky had Crota's health down by a third. I dun seen it with my own eye).

At least I should be 31 and have a level 33 scout rifle and Thunderlord by the next time we run it

We're NEVER useless.
There's a reason that LFG people only have to say "Master Race" to get invites.

I'm a voidwalker at heart and I'm always afraid to run it during raids.

Look no further than the Flawless Raider known as CruelLEGACEY. Runs Voidwalker on Raids, wrecks shop.

I imagine a Nova Bomb could take the Swordbearers and their Thralls down fairly quickly...

Go with Voidwalker for the later stages in this raid. Sure, self-res is nice, but the damage dealt to the sword-bearers is more useful

Maybe, but your ability to die then res to activate oversoul to cheese Crota could be even MORE useful :-p

I'm fully expecting that to be fixed ASAP.

My team didn't really have that many issues dying last night due to damage. it was more along the lines of the swordbearer getting smashed and then not getting swiped due to the oversoul.

I think this sounds like a better plan.

I can do it. I'm still only 30 though... not sure if that's a pro or a con for this. On the one hand, my lack of 31-ness means I'll do less damage to stuff like the ogres and Crota) - but maybe that's offset by the premise that I'd be getting twice the hits in...?

You kept your checkpoint right? Remember, we restarted to grab the chest at the beginning…

I should have a Crota checkpoint. I ran it last night from the bridge to Crota.

But I just spent a couple hours in a mostly blind run with randoms that ended up getting stuck on Crota and eventually disbanding.

It was pretty fun though. Makes me wish I didn't wait around on the VoG action until the last couple weeks before Dark Below.

p.s. no loot from Deathsinger a glitch?

I have no idea whether there is meant to be loot after the Deathsinger, but there sure as hell ought be considering how hard it is!
