Yesterday I did the raid on normal with some friends of mine. I'm a good leader, I know the raid and how to beat it, I did it many times and can lead my team pretty well. We were 5 Hunters and 1 Titan, most of us already Level 29, some 27.
Took the sync-plates and killed everything around, no big deal. We grabbed the first chest and went further into the vault. Didn' failed once at the confluxes or oracles. So the battle with the templar was about to begin.
One of our little group said we could simply push him off, although we were 5 hunters and a titan. I did it once and I know it's simple. It took some time till he moved far enough and the minotaurs had spawned already. We killed them in a mather of seconds. I held the relic and cleansed my team the whole time but the oracles were too much and I couldn't react fast enough. We all died, although the templar was right above the edge.
We did respawn and I sayd to my team they shoulg jump off, I will do it alone. I grabbed the relic, killed the harpies. I used the relic to shoot at the templar. I took a while and the minotaurs started spawning. No problem for me I thought. At some point, the templar nearly dead, I died from the harpie behind. Wasn't a good idea but I saw that once and wanted to try.
We did respawn again and now I sayd: "We can kill him the normal way.", grabbing the relic, my whole team on the right side. They knew I will kill the harpies because of the energy. 5 seconds, saying "I will shoot, shield down.", they started to attack him. His health fell on 60%. We would kill him in a matter of some seconds. Killing harpies a moment later I shot. "Shield down, focus on the templar." They gave all they had. Only 40% left. And again I could shot almost immediantly again. "Shield down!" We failed.
...to kill him, 5% left. I shot a last time and he died. Looking at the time, "One and a half minute guys." Proudly we continued.
Moral of the story: Keep your cheese in the fridge.
