So I tried the Totems cheese today...
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.

Honestly for those of us over 315 you really don't need to cheese anything, my team and myself we just did it the intended way all along, honestly doesn't change the time anything takes and it's more fun that way, the cheeses ruined Crotas end and then when hard mode came out the forums were useless as no one could actually do it, Kings fall has remained a thing the "best" players in pve to grind our asses off, if this cheese becomes a mandatory thing it's just going to make it harder to get groups together that can actually do it, I'm all for teaming up with newer players to show them how to raid but I'm not going to cheese anything. Actually also wanted to bring up that everyone complained how shitty Crotas end was, I felt that the majority of players opinions on that raid was off of the cheese runs, the full legit way where every run runs the lamps and then standing on the plates to fight the ogres then the legit bridge, it's actually fun and was a challenge back then, really was a good raid.
