Tried getting in a full raid before work. I had about two and a half hours, and joined a fireteam that was all 317+. Everyone in the group had a working mic, sounded adult, and acted mature. As we started the raid, there was no talk of who's doing this or are we using that strategy. Always a good sign.
We get to totems with minimum effort and zero setbacks. As we get to the totems, it happens. The fireteam leader asks if we know the totems cheese. Everyone says yes, and agrees its faster and easier. I stay silent, unsure of how to react. I've heard of the cheese before, and know how to do it in concept. Before today, I had the same opinion of this cheese as I did the no-knight strat; if it gets the job done, and without too much hassle, I don't care.
However, after a full hour on totems we had no success. Most of the fireteam at this point agreed we should just do the normal strategy, but the fireteam leader was adamant. He claimed if we did the normal strat, we would wipe more and take longer. Considering he was the one that died EVERY TIME, I had enough. For the first time in months, I rage quit a raid. Never again will I suffer through the totems cheese. If you insist on it, I'm just going to grab the cp and leave. The warpriest will NOT deem you worthy.
Tl;Dr Kings Fall totems cheese is for noobs who can't do the easiest reward stage of the raid.

Ran with a 5 man team on Hm, 41 wipes later I kindly excused myself. Haven't completed HM but I wasn't up for more of that.
-
I quit the other day after watching the entire fireteam wipe 3 times in a row (while I was sitting by the entrance trying to be a good sport and quietly hoping that these imbeciles would come to their senses) trying to do this idiotic glitch. I never rage quit, but even the most patient person has their limit...
-
Actually the totems section for the last week or so has been real glitchy with the aura not swapping when your standing right next to the person who has it so we tried the cheese and done it first time 5 mins it took no probs
-
How do you even do it and how oils it possibly be easier?!
-
What is the totem cheese?
-
Same happened to me. Just dumb.
-
Surely the only point of the totems cheese is if there are only 4 players? With a full team of 6, the normal way isn't exactly difficult. Plus if it's a game with blueberries, failing on the totems is a nice early warning to get the hell outta dodge before you waste even more time failing to do the rest of the raid.
-
So I heard you like the Beijing Olympics
-
317 needing to do that cheese is really sad. If a team can't get through totems, you have a snowballs chance in he** to complete the raid, especially oryx.
-
Theres a totem cheese?
-
As someone who's only done the raid once, (nearly twice upto oryx haha) I don't see the point in cheering Totums. As long as people announce when it's their turn to head up to the middle then it's a piece of cake.
-
Wait, you can cheese the Totems? I didn't know that....
-
Seriously wahts easier than relay killing race ?

Edited by Swiftlock: 1/13/2016 1:15:54 AMI really don't care. I just try to learn all methods so that I'll be ready for whatever my raid team asks of me, cheese or legit, knights or no-knights. Been this way since the days of shoving Atheon off the edge. Maybe I'm weird, but going with the flow rather than sitting and grumbling makes more sense to me. Of course, if my raid leader is REALLY that incompetent and keeps causing wipes, then I'll split.
-
Sounds just like my friend's experience except he had a 318 that never did it normally
-
Let me guess, the guys in the middle were dying.
-
If people offer the cheese I usually do it. After five try's and no progress I deuce. if u can't do totems, easiest of all the cps, that team will no doubt struggle the whole raid...
-
Hate the cheat/cheese , did it for the first time today as well , why the hell all of a sudden everyone wants to do it this way , same difficulty doing the regular way and the same amount of time ...
-
-
I think some people just have issues with authority and the idea of "cheesing" things (even if it's harder to "cheese" than do normally) is some kind of rebellious victory in their minds.
-
Totems cheese is the most ridiculous thing we came up with as a community and i'm not doing it anymore unless i'm in a fireteam of 4/5
-
I don't understand the cheese at all. My normal team can flawless totems on hard mode.
-
Same, we beat it but I was very surprised that 318-319 fire team wanted to cheese. One guy (319) even said he's never done it legit!! Like wtf!!
-
Why cheese it? It's easy! My 7 year old understands and when I raid he does totems and ship jumps. He jumps much better than I do hahahhahhaahha
-
Warpriest and Golgoroth are easier btw.
