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".

I still haven't done it yet, because of Gear. I have lvl 34 light with several different setups, but my weapons are the weakpoint. Up until last week, I had no elemental Primary aside from Vex Mythoclast. I do not want to have to rely on Exotic Primaries, I would like the ability to mix and match accordingly. I now only have one 365 attack Legendary, Vision of Confluence, that I got last week. I have zero 365 special weapons aside from Icebreaker, and only one 365 heavy Truth. So yeah, my weapons are limiting me from even attempting the lvl 35 PoE. I think I am getting there though. I also got a Fallen Chestpiece, so now I have Hive, Vex and Fallen, and only need Cabal to round it out.
