What keeps you from completing PoE 35 (Skolas) every week?
What's your biggest beef with Skolas? I remember having this pressing need to do Crota every single week without fail, and have a full set of raid weapons and armor for 2 characters, it's not an issue of difficulty.
I don't do this with PoE and actually have not completed Skolas yet. Why? [b]For me it's mostly the checkpoint[/b], I just don't have that kind of time to play most nights; add in the fact that the rewards are really not any more attractive than doing the level 34 in [u]much[/u] less time and using that etheric light to ascend an older raid weapon that's basically better in every way.
Edit: On further thought maybe it's 60/40 the lackluster rewards and not the checkpoint that discourages me, though they are really the same thing in a way: if I could pick it up again the next day at a checkpoint, the effort is less onerous. I'd like to see a single checkpoint right before Skolas (non-sharable) to save a lot of frustration from network issues or time constraints. It's far less demoralizing to say "OK, gotta, go, let's pick this up tomorrow", than "Well I just completely wasted my night."
Edit 2: For all you MLG ballers who solo it in an hour, more power to you but the site won't allow me to add another option now. Suffice it to say that this topic is not really intended for your particular demographic, which is suspect is the minority of Destiny players.
Edit 3: If your answer is "I do it every week, git gud," then please choose which option you think would make it more appealing than it already is. For your purposes, "too difficult" would equal "takes too long".

We have done it 2x and went pretty smooth and still took big blocks of time with no way to save. 1 cipher complete, may go for a 2nd but doesn't seem worth it for the side arm and the elemental primary drop rate is sounding pretty low.
-
People have beat skolas only using meele attacks
-
Nothing. I do it 3 times then do it more to help others.
-
I have better things to do than shoot bullet sponges in the same arenas for an hour or two just to get some boring rubbish. At least strike playlists have some bloody variety.
-
It's not worth the effort, for that matter level 34 isn't really worth it either. I'd rather just wait for the IB and get 2 Etheric lights per character.

Team boots me because they're friend wants to join #ireallyhatethosebitches
-
well u see, the elemental primaries rarely drop and i have the 3 cipher guns so....i have all the standard PoE guns. The perks on the guns arent too good either. Only gun id be interested in from him would be an arc AR with captain suppression

What about "MUST HAVE MAX GALLY"?

Quitters 😒

ppl to play with

It's too easy and I have all the exotics now.

A decent team. People I get off LFG fall to pieces. Do loads of prep and then they insta kill themselves with their own rockets.

People wanting gjallahorn

not attempting it is the only way i dont complete it

Meh, I have : • 20+ Etheric Light, • 3x 34s with optimum perks and stats for each subclass (with the exception of enemy specific perks), • 365 weapons of all elements for: HCs, SRs, Shotguns, Snipers, FRs, LMGs and RLs. • All Elder Ciphers and • An abundance of Armour and Weapon Cores There's literally no reason for me to spend 2+ hours on PoE 35 for duplicate or lesser quality loot. The only thing I actually want is Her Benevolence which I'll keep trying on the 32 with my free weekly Key but I'll help out my friends if they need me on the 32 & 34.
-
I have all 3 fallen exotics, other guns suck ass - trials weapons with burns are better. Literally no point in doing it anymore for me.
-
Lightswitch
-
Elder Ciphers drop from level 34 now too.....so there is literally no point
-
I actually like it.. it's something new. I didn't play HoW untill a month later cause I was a bit dissapointed in the crota raid. Plus the witcher 3 kept me busy. But after trying prison of elders out, i actually enjoyed it.

3 RepliesEdited by RoflBiscuit: 6/29/2015 9:02:23 PMThis week's modifiers make it not really worth it truth be told. :/ The fight itself isn't hard, especially the mechanics. However, everything being able to one shot you with melee (I'M LOOKING AT YOU CAPTAINS!) for a real slim chance at some real loot like Six Dreg Pride II? No thanks. The rewards aren't really worth while, especially considering the frustration that will no doubt take place. I like challenges and all don't get me wrong, but at the same time, and yes I'm going to sound selfish here, I would like some sort of decent reward. The class and queen's items are by no means worthwhile. Class items are vanity and do nothing. Queens weaponry is just flat out terrible and everything else trumps them ten fold, even with reforging. In truth I don't even understand the logic behind them other than just being mere trophies. This is honestly how I feel about 35 PoE. You do it to get all three exotic weapons, but after that there is no real purpose for it considering even the Fallen weaponry is lack luster due to their strict PvE perks.

Nobody can solo skolas. Those who claim they have since the change, and even before the change, are lying attention whores.

Boring

No one wants me

Nothing stops me, I beat it weekly
