Taken Psions duplicate themselves way too quickly
I just came back from a black spindle run that would've been successful if it hadn't been for these little bastards.
We beat the boss with over 4 minutes to spare because we used the swords. We took down the blights fairly quickly, and then moved onto the adds.
We couldn't kill them all because the psions kept on duplicating. Every time you killed one, it would duplicate before it died. If you immediately killed the duplicate, it would in turn duplicate. It became nothing more than a scenario where we had to kill them faster than it was physically possible. We started with about 10-15 of them in the room, we ended up with about 5 or 6 as the time ran out.
It should not take that long to kill taken psions, and it wouldn't have if they didn't duplicate so damn quickly.
I'm officially giving up on the Black Spindle until this is changed, that challenge is goddamn ridiculous, especially for a limited time event.
Even outside of the black spindle challenge, the psions are arguably the most annoying Taken enemy in the game, purely because of their habit of constantly duping behind cover. Even if the black spindle challenge is completely removed from the equation, these guys have to be nerfed.
How could they nerf them? I dunno, make it so that once they've duped, they can't dupe again for at least 5-10 seconds. Under no circumstances should they be able to do that constantly.
----------------
I'd also like to say to the guy who was with me on that run in case he's reading this:
Just because I don't want to spend 4 hours ramming my head against a brick wall with you, that doesn't give you the right to insult me the way you did. Some people don't have limitless amounts of time to spend on this game, and you shouldn't expect it of everyone you come across. You are an asshole and I hope that you never get the Black Spindle.

Firefly primaries (even snipers) are incredibly helpful on this fight. A suggested loadout would be hung jury, firefly/triple tap sniper, Sleeper simulant. My personal results: Got spindle third attempt; the 2 family members I did it with were new to the game and had been playing ~ a month. We failed on the first 2 attempts because we didn't focus the boss. After the first successful completion, I switched to my kids account, did the run again and got it first try for him. Every time we successfully completed the timed event, we focused the boss till it was dead then cleaned up adds. This, IMO, is the most efficient way to do this fight. We always had at least 1 titan with weapons of light/saint 14 on. We stayed in the first room using the bubble to cover 1 of the doorways and DPS'd the boss accordingly. Sleeper simulant -DESTROYS- the final boss with weapons of light and blowing a heavy ammo synthesis. We only had 1 person running a simulant; 3 people running simulants with a weapon of light titan bubble down should drop this boss so fast it would be comical. The beginning of the fight is the crucial part; you want to get AS MUCH dps out with your weapons of light buffed simulants as possible before the adds start stacking up. After the boss is dead, if adds are really that big of a problem, switch to a sword/shotgun.
