That is going to be very difficult beating lvl35 Skolas as a lvl33. Your damage is nerfed based on your lvl compared to the lvl of enemy you face. The whole lvl is all that matters so 33.5 is the same as 33 when it comes to damage you deal. Here is an article explaining this in more detail. http://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/2rhgrm/weapon_damage_explained_with_science/ But baicly being a 33 you are only dealing 55% of the max damage you would deal on a 33 enemy. So all your weapons have basicly been nerfed by 45%... even if you are a lvl34 you weapons a nerfed by 32%. Not saying it can't be done, but whoever goes with you really need to be lvl34 and they will be carrying you. Not trying to discourage you just wanted to be sure you know the facts. This is how much your weapons are nerfed by being under lvl of enemies you face. Equal/Above: 0% Minus 1 Level: 32% Minus 2 Levels: 45% Minus 3 Levels: 52%
