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

Didn't read all of your lost just going to post my suggested strategy to go along with the others. With this strategy I've taken 3 groups of people through. 1. Kill blights, this should be your top priority in every room. 2. Next, kill majors (but don't go ham if minions are in your way) 3. Kill the little guys. 4. Focus the -Blam!- out of that boss. While in the boss room make sure you are near the entrance while focusing the boss, so you can regroup when the next wave of blights hit. When you have those pesky blights in the back of that room, don't be afraid to die for it (as long as you are 100% sure you can kill the blight) This room was made to overwhelm you, focusing the boss and letting those psions multiply freely is exactly what you [u]shouldn't[/u] be doing. Also all the majors that spawn just hinder your ability to hit the boss (fire, blinding and pushing)
