After the update that fixed the bug that made the black spindle drop and be able to buy from the kiosk at 310 attack, the mission came back.
So a 294, 295 (me) and a 287 decided to attempt it
After 5 tries, we took a rest from the spam of the taken on that last fight agaisnt the taken boss
Look, I understand its an exotic mission so it can't be simple or easy, but my problem its the fact THAT THE TAKEN DO NOT STOP SHOOTING AT YOU AND KEEP DUPLICATING
First, you have 10 minute sot beat it. This is no problem
The last part, you need to 5-6 minutes or you won't have enough time. The Taken keep spawning and duplicating and spamming their special mobves of shit that blinds you for 10 seconds.
We tried killign the taken blights, but the blights keep re-appearing and spawning more enemies. And even thoguht he enemy are 240 darkness level, they kill you like if they were 300 darkness level. Its stupid.
That and the fact that if you DIE, you need to wait 8-10 seconds to be revived and then 5 seconds to respawn. oo if the entire fireteam dies, you lose 30 seconds for everyone to respawn and THEN travel back to the boss area
Here are some fo my tweaks (for the boss part)
When the boss is kill, 30 seconds are added to the timer.
If all the taken blights are destroyed, you have 20 seconds until more blights or enemy respawn or duplicate
A 10 second timer for enemies to duplicate.
OR
The boss has less health, but timer/ammount of enemies is lower/higher
The boss has more health, but ammount of enemies are lower and more time.
Just my thoughts. We came back with the new exotic swords and it is still ridiculous the amount of enemies and the sapm for the Taken

This is probably not the right time to talk you my fireteam finished it with over two minutes to spare, is it? I can only offer this advice: Kill order in the final room: - Blight - Boss - High level, overshielded enemies - Adds Also, use the guns you are efficient with, don't select based on overall light ONLY. Everyone says "use sleeper stimulant! It wrecks!" Not always. We were wiped twice; I switched to Raid scout, Invective, Raid Machinegun, and we wrecked it, as I focussed sustained DPS on the boss and shielded targets. The guys with the stimulant would one shot the blight. My changes made all the difference; I stopped dying, and the sustained DPS allowed us to quickly kill off the big threats, then move in with swords to finish off all the adds. With over 2:00 to spare. I can't stress enough that you should [b][i]always[/i][/b] play gear that you excel with, which is not always your "best" gear.
