Most know about the bridge cheese in Crota's End where everyone wipes to despawn the enemies. On hard with the lack of revives non-warlocks have to climbs the towers to trick the game into ignoring them.
It occurred to me last week, is this even really necessary? The point of despawning the enemies on the near side is so they don't heckle you while you attack the enemies on the far side. The thing is once you climb the towers nothing on the near side has a line of sight anymore, and the Thrall certainly can't reach you, so you're already completely safe. From this position you also have great coverage over the far side. So does this make trying to despawn the enemies an extra unnecessary step, or is it somehow required to get the ogres to appear?

Its useful if you need to send someone across the bridge. Climb the tower, they respawn then you only have the sword dude to worry about. Send someone across, that person hides, people on the spawn side jump up high and snipe the rest of the time. Doing it legit isn't that hard either.
