Is this really correct? I ask because when we do Oryx, me (holding the relic, people are apparently afraid of the "huge" responsibiliby of jumping on platforms....) and the spare usualy dont hit Oryx at all. We spend our time cleaning out the add spawns so the guys running to and from the bombs dont get wasted while semi-blind, and this has worked flawlessly so far. We get Oryx to the shade stage at the second relic and usualy kill him at the 4th. Never noticed that the DPS was lacking doing this.There is no bug with detonations not hitting him. The two people who are not doing detonations need to constantly DPS him (with their primaries is fine) to keep his chest "open" for the bombs to hit. If one of them stops DPSing or dies or whatever then the bombs will do zero damage to him. There is no visual cue or anything that the chest closes, other than the bomb detonations doing no damage to him. The relic holder can & should use touch of malice for this part, its great since you can basically stream bullets into him non stop. Just using ToM is dangerous since if you forget to reload in the shadow realm you will kill yourself, fast.
I've seen a number of groups say "oh, it must be a bug, lets make someone else fireteam leader" but nah its one guy who forgot to keep shooting oryx's chest
Id be down for that but i tend to play later at night est time. But yeah fuck pugs. Ive learned my lessons back during vog and crota.Wed/Thur I don't work at all so I will just kind of be around all day.
Do we have six people interested in a weekly group? I led raids for Atheon and know this raid well enough with 3 classes geared enough for it.
Just add a_skeleton_03 on PSN. Post here if you would like a weekly group.
If you detonate really quickly after he stagger falls, like within 7 seconds, then it doesn't matter. but yeah groups that take longer (most Pugs) need the center people to keep shooting his chest to keep it open for the bombs to hit him.Is this really correct?

This seems right. I got into another Oryx pug last night and we killed him in one go. Some differences from the previous pug; One person had ToM, 4 people were in the 300-304 range (rather than 2), detonations happened quickly, and we didn't have someone stand on the last platform during the relic run so it allowed another floater to burn down ogres. Oryx gave me a shitty 307 hand cannon (awful perks), but it allowed me to hit 301...which let me turn in all the exotics I'd saved up the past week. Those turned into a 310 monte carlo, 2 310 warlock chests (voidfang / starfire...sucky ones) all the rest were 290s. I used the 310's exotics and the 307 hand cannon to raise my preferred primary (hung jury to 310, and my Alchemist Raiment to 310). Sitting at 303 now, so not bad.If you detonate really quickly after he stagger falls, like within 7 seconds, then it doesn't matter. but yeah groups that take longer (most Pugs) need the center people to keep shooting his chest to keep it open for the bombs to hit him.
just did my morning draksis 3OC 10 minute farm run and on my second kill got two exotic engrams to drop on one kill. pretty cool. got my 5th 310 supercell.
Iron Banner starts tomorrow, ToO this weekend, and many people think Oryx Hard mode will unlock friday.\

If people know what they are doing the raid takes an hour.The only way I would be down for a weekly group is if we never, ever did more than a section per day. I attempted to do the raid on Saturday night and I have no idea how anyone finds that whole experience fun.
I don't understand how people can't get their own ogre down. Even when I am on the last platform where I don't need to stand I stay up there anyways for better line of sight on everything and I get my ogre down solo quite easily.This seems right.

Yeah. I guess my experience was with a group where 2 knew the fights, and everyone else was learning. We got to Oryx, but it was a 7pm-1am ordeal with one 30 minute break.If people know what they are doing the raid takes an hour.
