Taken Psions duplicate themselves way too quickly
I just came back from a black spindle run that would've been successful if it hadn't been for these little bastards.
We beat the boss with over 4 minutes to spare because we used the swords. We took down the blights fairly quickly, and then moved onto the adds.
We couldn't kill them all because the psions kept on duplicating. Every time you killed one, it would duplicate before it died. If you immediately killed the duplicate, it would in turn duplicate. It became nothing more than a scenario where we had to kill them faster than it was physically possible. We started with about 10-15 of them in the room, we ended up with about 5 or 6 as the time ran out.
It should not take that long to kill taken psions, and it wouldn't have if they didn't duplicate so damn quickly.
I'm officially giving up on the Black Spindle until this is changed, that challenge is goddamn ridiculous, especially for a limited time event.
Even outside of the black spindle challenge, the psions are arguably the most annoying Taken enemy in the game, purely because of their habit of constantly duping behind cover. Even if the black spindle challenge is completely removed from the equation, these guys have to be nerfed.
How could they nerf them? I dunno, make it so that once they've duped, they can't dupe again for at least 5-10 seconds. Under no circumstances should they be able to do that constantly.
----------------
I'd also like to say to the guy who was with me on that run in case he's reading this:
Just because I don't want to spend 4 hours ramming my head against a brick wall with you, that doesn't give you the right to insult me the way you did. Some people don't have limitless amounts of time to spend on this game, and you shouldn't expect it of everyone you come across. You are an asshole and I hope that you never get the Black Spindle.

Bungie officially screwed up the damage system and all taken enemy abilities. They need to see these errors and fix them. For example the taken phalanx is horrible. Now instead of just being able to shoot and hit they can shoot a forcefield that pushes you back.
-
I just want taken thrall to stop teleporting
-
Use the exotic void sword: Dark Drinker. One heavy swing will kill all enemies close to you. It made short work of those Psions. Without it, we would've failed.
-
It does look rather funny, though.
-
Yes they do its rediculous
-
2 RepliesNot just the psions all the taken use their powers waaay to much especially the bubble shield, the healer goblins & the captains.
-
To get a spindle get 3 guardians with exotic swords and a bubble Titan. Put a bubble over draxis or whatever and go to town. Then more sword kills against the psions

Edited by Ascent_Cobra: 10/24/2015 5:45:45 PMTips: You can melee kill psions faster than they split. I 1 shot them with melee on my titans, in bubble spec. Firefly primaries (even snipers) are incredibly helpful on this fight. A suggested loadout would be hung jury, firefly/triple tap sniper, Sleeper simulant. My personal results: Got spindle third attempt; the 2 family members I did it with were new to the game and had been playing ~ a month. We failed on the first 2 attempts because we didn't focus the boss. After the first successful completion, I switched to my kids account, did the run again and got it first try for him. Every time we successfully completed the timed event, we focused the boss till it was dead then cleaned up adds. This, IMO, is the most efficient way to do this fight. We always had at least 1 titan with weapons of light/saint 14 on. We stayed in the first room using the bubble to cover 1 of the doorways and DPS'd the boss accordingly. Sleeper simulant -DESTROYS- the final boss with weapons of light and blowing a heavy ammo synthesis. We only had 1 person running a simulant; 3 people running simulants with a weapon of light titan bubble down should drop this boss so fast it would be comical. The beginning of the fight is the crucial part; you want to get AS MUCH dps out with your weapons of light buffed simulants as possible before the adds start stacking up. After the boss is dead, if adds are really that big of a problem, switch to a sword/shotgun.

1 word, STORMCALLER!
-
I did it 2nd try a few weeks ago. Maybe you should get good yo
-
1 ReplyBeat it second try a little bit ago.
-
1 ReplyThis mission is literally impossible and I tried at least 10 times over 4 hours with no success
-
5 RepliesBest way to do it. 3 Titans all bubble the boss until he's dead switch to rockets with large splash. Kill blights shoot rockets and shotgun Knights. We did it in 2 runs. You can get it.
-
maybe you should try to kill them at a slower rate, so that they reproduce at a slower pace.
-
5 RepliesYou only tried 4 times :(
-
5 RepliesDude you can't be THAT bad at this game. All of the taken enemies are phenomenal, including the psions. Annoying but totally manageable. Don't try to nerf something that works fine. Play better.
-

I have to agree that it is a mighty pain in the arse, but not impossible. The trick is to have two guys on mob aggro while the spate DPSes Driksis (I think that's his name?) Luck in the chambet snipers, Bolt Caster, and Sleeper work well. Headshots. Best wishes, guardians.
-
Aim for their heads u noob. Git good scrub
-
Aim for the head... Pop, pop, pop, pop. Done. Git gud.
-
Storm caller solves that issue.
-
Yeah sounds like Ur approach isn't working. We just beat it by taking out blights then boss. Blights appear again then boss over and over till done. Got spindle and telesto from exotic engram
-
Dude BS is an exotic of course it's not going to be ducking easy!! Our tac: Swords and bubble on top, soon as we died we sword and shotgun again... Once dead we spawned and took out the blights and died.... Once spawned we took the big guys leaving psions until last... Once here we used all our supers.... Tether, hammers and lightening!!! We had 6 seconds left on the clock!! Try that
-
lol the black spindle is easy as -blam!- to get lmfao
