After the patch today for Scolas we thought lets see if Scolas is easier now. But instead we fought greater challenges!
As we entered The Prison we encountered the first three rounds of the Raid/Activity and as of before the patch we were on 35 and got kicked from the game world as soon as he hit 1Hp, so in the three rounds now they were harder than before you will now need 2 hunters to complete cabal, and at least 2 titans for vex.
But when we got onto the sixth round we then saw the perks, solar wasn't there anymore, and we got confused as now there is Lightswitch (ads slap you in the face and you get knocked out) and Primary weapons specialised. So we enter the arena for the first time after the patch and we thought it would take 7 Gallies but we were wrong.... so so wrong... We destroyed the servitor like everyone would normally do and we get out our 3 Gallies and blast him 14 times each, the amount of health that was taken down now was only 1 fifth of his health it doesn't even matter that his health is now only 15,000 hp the thing that matters is that there is NO burn.
So we ended up spending more than 2 hours on him and we just gave up, we left thinking that no one would be able to complete scolas now without either loosing friendships or going to rehab about it, because its simply impossible maybe the creators of destiny can kill it because they have unlimited ammo as you see in some of there videos when showing off new weapons. But us normal Guardians wont play 35 ever again...
Tell me your suggestions and ideas on how to beat him as of now its impossible!

It's not impossible. I had a go last night and we very nearly had it on our first attempt. Sadly, on the second set of mines I totally forgot that I had the taint and then died. Then two mines spawned at the same time and both of my team mates died trying to dismantle them. We were very close though. The Skolas fight is tricky but its not impossible. We took our time (over 20 minutes) and worked methodically and we got him down. It was WAY more rewarding than burning him within a couple of minutes. What Bungie did was actually pretty smart. They've taken away the ability for people to hammer Skolas with Gjallarhorn and completely circumnavigate the entire mechanics of that boss fight and they made it possible to complete legitimately. It just takes some time, patience, communication and team work. Sadly, much of the Destiny community are simply after quick rewards/bragging rights without actually doing anything to earn them.
