Fallen S.A.B.E.R. - Warsat needs adjustment - HEROIC
So, everything about the Fallen S.A.B.E.R. Strike is pretty fun and well designed, EXCEPT for the starting Warsat portion of the Strike. This isn't so much a problem on normal, but the heroic version needs an adjustment.
Why, oh why, are there so many enemies coming at you for such a long time JUST to start the Strike? What's even worse is that this is on a timer where you're supposed to sit there for a long period of time, taking bullets in the face constantly while harder and harder enemies come at you, and you've only got 3 minutes at maximum before the thing explodes and starts you at the beginning again.
The Warsat portion on heroic NEEDS a balance adjustment so that it's not only easier for players to even START the Strike, but to also enjoy that portion of the Strike. I would suggest either less enemies coming per wave so that it's not a tsunami of pain, or perhaps have the transmat itself take only half the normal time.
Everything else about Fallen S.A.B.E.R. is fun and interesting, if you can just get through the teeth-grinding difficulty of opening the door.
Edit: Was specifically talking of Heroic, I edited the post and added tag to note this.

I agree with you. If I am with some buddies we can push through it as we are coordinated. If I am with some randos...... yeah it's almost always cheese it or orbit (but I always try it a couple times might work out or we could end up with the hive version). Now I understand some commenters are saying "it's not that bad just do (insert strat)" or "all you need is a titan to bubble" With matchmaking you might not have a titan bubble. And with randos they might not know the strat you suggest. As much as I wish I could say I am one of those players who can make up for some poor sap who hasn't played as much I'm just not that good. I'm certainly not a bad player but I lack the legendary skills needed to carry some of these groups. It's not their fault either. Everyone learns at their own pace. If you are tuning this with the fact that you have matchmaking in mind then yes this is horribly overtuned. If you need a specific setup to accomplish it yes there is an issue IMO. And when most of your community goes to orbit because it's the saber strike you definitely have an issue.
