we also opted for a more weapon focused DPS strat, turned out very well. our first kill was glitched, so we went back for a second run and got a non-glitched kill, was great knowing the strat would've worked either way. it is very strict though, normal mode likely to get crushed.

I agree completely. The problem with Last Wish symbols was that half of them looked so similar. Varying forms of birds, fish, and dragons. The symbols in VotD, on the other hand, are all quite distinct. Despite there being 26 of them (Last Wish only had 16), I never felt like I didn’t recognize a symbol. Granted, staring at the symbols for 14 hours across these two encounters (most spent lacking damage at the Caretaker) before our team had to call it definitely burned them into my mind. I swear I’m gonna have dreams of these things for a week.

id argue that these symbols are much less of a pain to memorize than last wish especially if you've played destiny a good amount. Since these symbols have pictures on them, and are called what the picture relates to, its much easier to identify and differentiate these symbols than 4 different dragon, snake, bird, and fish symbols. If you need to learn them, do the newest "campaign" mission that opened up on the throne world. It literally has you go to the pyramid again, and you get into it the same way as the raid itself so you can learn how to do that as well. Theres literally a room right before the first encounter room that shows you every symbol and what its called.

For the Caretaker encounter: Our team had two symbol runners. We took turns running the room or working ad clear outside and the door for the other runner. Also we had 2 ursa titans to pop bannershields and buff the rest of the team. LFR's, especially sleeper, gave great damage numbers. 2 bannershields will last the entire damage phase and have the benefit of being mobile. Adding ursa means that with a high-ish int (I had 70), we had ursa's every damage phase except the last stand.

For stunning i would recommend a stasis hunter with the new exotic stasis gauntlets and a grenade build. Have two people on the stun job with the boss between the two. Throw grenade to reduce his damage and face tank his attacks. He usually shoots two beans then slams and shooting his face cancels his slam. With this method you and the other dude can stun him 15+ times before he gets to the plates.

This was my teams first attempt at a day 1. We got stuck on the first encounter for about 7 hours or so before we finally beat it. Then we hit a wall super late on caretaker and called it there. I’m disappointed we couldn’t get a day 1 clear, but I’m still proud that we managed to clear one encounter on our first attempt at a day 1. I wasn’t sure what to expect between contest and figuring out brand new mechanics so that’s why I’m proud of what we did. I think we can do better next time because we will have a better idea going in of what we need to do for contest. I think what messed us up more than anything was the speed of each encounter. It seemed like you had such a small amount of time to actually execute the thing for the encounter that it was really overwhelming sometimes.
@StrikingIke3862 жыл бұрын
It was pretty much the same with us. 1st encounter was more an issue of just staying alive, but we eventually moved everyone around enough that we have a near flawless run. Caretaker got us though. We eventually had it down enough that symbols, stuns, and ads were easy, but we just didn't have the damage. Most of us didn't have good snipers, linear, or outbreak like people were suggesting. We also had a bad team comp of 1 hunter, 1 Warlock, and 4 titans, so the lack of wells hurt. Honestly, despite not being able to finish, it was still a solid experience.

You can actually cancel the Caretaker’s slam with a stun. If you directly engage him, he’ll do two lightning attacks and then slam.
