Hey Mitch,
We are using the same tactic. I've been Titan Defender until now.
I don't think it matter if you attack him from the left or the right, as long as the swordbearer and defender are well coordinated
when the Hunter goes for the sword, it should call the side he is going for.
Tips as for the Titan Defender :
- Crota can get you if you go on the rock too early and you are too visible on the rock. stay close to the wall, crouch if needed. Go up when you are safe.
When you run back to the crystal room, go to the opposite room of Crota ... makes sense right ?
after the ogres, you can pop a bubble in the doorway to protect your pals ... but that means that you might not be able to have your super ready for the next sword run.
Don't go down too early to kill the ogres either - check through the middle window to make sure they are out !0 -

The titan wasn't going up with the hunter - the hunter was on their own up there. The titan bubble was getting placed between the middle ledge everyone is standing on and the door to the right (if looking at Crota) into the Crystal room. With the Boomers agro'd by the bubble and the hunter being invisible on the way up, the Boomers never looked at the hunter at all.synesthesia wrote: »Hey Mitch,

For the Ogres we had everyone running to the right boomer room as soon as Crota was kneeling for the second time - so we were in the room before the Ogre spawned. A generous helping of G'Horns and he was dead within 2 seconds of appearing. The you would kill the second Ogre (which is outside) from inside the Ogre room and then run back up to the Crystal room.0 -

ok - well, we are doing that slightly differently : the titan goes with the hunter. one of the advantage is that gift of the void protect the hunter and titan on the way back to the crystal room + you are very close to Crota.
Yeah - I can see the overshield being usefull for the hunter alright. However, if the way I did it works correctly (and it did 9 times out of 10) the boomers are never looking at the Hunter. The titan will have the overshield from his agro bubble anyway.
By using the invisibility well the hunter won't be seen by the boomers or by Crota. They should be invisible on the way to the rock (using a super) and invisible when they go towards Crota. So They should be in striking distance as soon as the G'Horns hit, so they are already swinging at him as he starts to go down - the hunter on the team last night was regularly getting 4 hits on him doing it this way (she did seem VERY good with the sword in general)
I was doing the bubble by the door and once I got the hang of the timing I was able to join in G'Horning Crota as well (which I think would be dangerous on your method). So we have 5 people DPSing Crota with rockets. down in an instant.
I have attemped it your way too - but I found the Titan was getting killed too often on the way up by the boomers. Maybe that was just me sucking though.0 -

Middle Strategy.
Requirements: 1 Hunter with invisibility perk. at least 1 Titan Defender.
First Run: Kill the Sword Bearer. Hunter would use their Super and go invisible, pick up the sword and head towards Crota from the right side. As they do this, the Titan immediately goes from the ledge towards the door on the right and pops a bubble. This aggros the right side boomers and along with the Hunter being invisible means they ignore them. Once the hunter is on a level with Crota (and still invisible from Super or from crouching) EVERYONE unloads on Crota. Hunter hammers him, drops the sword, melee to go invisible, picks up the sword and everyone unloads on Crota again. Hunter bashes him a few more times then EVERYONE retreats to the crystal room.
Second run - repeat the same process as the first attempt - invisibility, bubble etc. Once Crota is taking a knee the second time everyone makes a run to the Ogre room on the right. Once both Ogres are dealt with the team go back up into the crystal room.
Now, the team I was in made it back into the room with Crota still in the centre - but we did not go after him. We waited for him to go right and then back to the middle. Once he went back to the middle we repeated the same process again. Crota should enrage after the first sword run. Once he enrages everyone ignores everything else and just keeps hammering Crota with everything they have to take his shield down as quickly as possible and allowing the hunter to go to town.
Job done.
On the successful run last night the sword hits were 4, 4, 3,2 , 2, 3. The two hits on the third last sword was intentional.Mitch Connor wrote: »Yeah - I can see the overshield being usefull for the hunter alright.

This is exactly how I ended up getting it done in the group I joined in the end (after leaving a few groups that were full of cr@p). Funny that
Only addition being that the Titan was popping his bubble slightly more forward (one the plates Crota ends up running to)0 -

Was it just the one titan bubble on your run? I had no idea if there was another titan popping one on the left to aggro those boomers too. I don't think there was but I was too busy looking at the right side guys to keep their eyes on me and off the hunter.0 -

Yeah, they were going right, just one titan popping the bubble, I managed to convince them to go left instead as the ledge there is a bit more sheltered for those few moments you're waiting for the invisibility to active.
They were still only popping one bubble then anyway
Probably pi$$ through the whole raid now provided we alternate using our Hunters for the 2 runs.0 -

Will have to work on leveling my own hunter up. Need a helm and boots. Will try to get a normal raid in over the next few days.0 -
