What keeps you from completing PoE 35 (Skolas) every week?

Too difficult

244

No checkpoints

345

Rewards are not equal to the effort

What's your biggest beef with Skolas? I remember having this pressing need to do Crota every single week without fail, and have a full set of raid weapons and armor for 2 characters, it's not an issue of difficulty. I don't do this with PoE and actually have not completed Skolas yet. Why? [b]For me it's mostly the checkpoint[/b], I just don't have that kind of time to play most nights; add in the fact that the rewards are really not any more attractive than doing the level 34 in [u]much[/u] less time and using that etheric light to ascend an older raid weapon that's basically better in every way. Edit: On further thought maybe it's 60/40 the lackluster rewards and not the checkpoint that discourages me, though they are really the same thing in a way: if I could pick it up again the next day at a checkpoint, the effort is less onerous. I'd like to see a single checkpoint right before Skolas (non-sharable) to save a lot of frustration from network issues or time constraints. It's far less demoralizing to say "OK, gotta, go, let's pick this up tomorrow", than "Well I just completely wasted my night." Edit 2: For all you MLG ballers who solo it in an hour, more power to you but the site won't allow me to add another option now. Suffice it to say that this topic is not really intended for your particular demographic, which is suspect is the minority of Destiny players. Edit 3: If your answer is "I do it every week, git gud," then please choose which option you think would make it more appealing than it already is. For your purposes, "too difficult" would equal "takes too long".

  • Meh, I have : • 20+ Etheric Light, • 3x 34s with optimum perks and stats for each subclass (with the exception of enemy specific perks), • 365 weapons of all elements for: HCs, SRs, Shotguns, Snipers, FRs, LMGs and RLs. • All Elder Ciphers and • An abundance of Armour and Weapon Cores There's literally no reason for me to spend 2+ hours on PoE 35 for duplicate or lesser quality loot. The only thing I actually want is Her Benevolence which I'll keep trying on the 32 with my free weekly Key but I'll help out my friends if they need me on the 32 & 34.
