Lvl 35 PoE - What the heck are we doing wrong at Skolas?

It's my sixth time trying this atrociously boring and repetitive boss fight. It's my sixth time failing. What the heck are we doing wrong? Our very first try, we managed to get Skolas to about 25% of his HP, about 2 or 3 shots left before the last mine part triggers. We got the whole rotating part right, we got the whole poison distribution thing right, heck even one of our teammates was just level 33! So, we waited patiently for our Heavy Ammo synthesises and used them, triggered the mines spawning by shooting Skolas once with our primaries, then shot about 14 Gjallarhorn rockets at his face and some Hunger (my other friend doesn't have Gjallarhorn), and he didn't die. About 10% HP left. Guess what? Enemies killed us before we managed to kill Skolas with our primaries/secondaries. Not even sure we would have been able to dismantle the mines anyways. By the way, I play on 360 with my friends. Loading the Inventory menu takes FOREEEEEVVVEEERRR, literally. So we would make sure that before someone opens the menu, they'd have just taken the poison. EVEN WITH THAT SAID, sometimes the menu just wouldn't load after ~10 seconds, so we had to have someone take the poison and then rotate if necessary. This shit is absolutely stupid and I cannot believe it's one of the things stopping us from making this fight more enjoyable/potentially easy. I almost want to say Skolas is impossible on 360/PS3, but I might be overexaggerating...! So yeah, what's the problem other than the obvious fact that someone wasn't lvl 34 and someone doesn't have a Gjally? We almost did it three times and died because of lack of firepower/modifiers like Lightswitch one-shot killing us/enemies spawning right when the mine phase starts/other artificial difficulty bullshit? I'm tired. I'm tired of PoE...

  • U don't have to have gally. U want a 365 primary and a good rocket lunch with tracking. U want all players lvl 34. If u havent beaten it yet you are in no position to carry. Having a titan will make it a lot easier. 1 pop synth in airlock. 2. Enter arena go left kill first servoritor. If u have a bubble with saint 14, pop it on the door . DPS Skolas. 3. Run across the map to the bunker where the second servoritor spawns, kill it, and DPS skolas. Have the team hold down the top level of the bunker . This bunker will be safe zone and u should not leave this area unless u r Hunter getting mines or serv. 4. Clear ads. (Do not DPS skolas) 5. Send hunter or war lock to get serv. Kill it, DPS skolas until adds come backs. 6 . Cease fire on skolas and clear adds. 7. Once bonds are broken , do not DPS skolas while there is adds around. [b]clear adds then DPS skolas. [/b] 8 send Hunter or warlock to get mines. Shoot at skolas while Hunter is leaving for mines. So skolas dosent follow [b]CLEAR ADDS BEFORE U DPS SKOLAS TO 50% HEALTH so the Hunter can have less enemies to deal with while dismantling mines. [/b] 9. Do not shoot skolas while Hunter is away. 10. When hunter returns clear adds THEN DPS skolas. Rinse and repeat this until second round of mines is over. 11. Once second round of mines is over clear adds then DPS skolas with everything u got he should die. REMEMBER : TOP LEVEL OF BUNKER IS WHERE U GUYS SHOULD BE. DO NOT DPS SKOLAS WHILE THERE IS ADDS, CLEAR ADDS FIRST THEN DPS SKOLAS. It's possible to run around and complete it but that is risky. Create lots of orbs.
