I'm interested in how you and your group are planning on tackling crota on hard mode. I've been talking to a few of my buddies and we were thinking that orbs are going to be a big part of the process. we normally do the left side strat and our sword bearer also goes on the left side rock to get to crota. if hes a hunter he normally just goes invisible for the second hit. them we go center for ogres unless a 32 is sword bearer in which case crota is normally down. I'm curios to see what people are thinking in preperatiion for hard mode. I guess what im really interested in is how and where are you going to create orbs for the sword bearers super? or perhaps orbs are not an important part of your strats. a few of us were thinking that creating orbs on the left rock of crota would be the best place so we plan on all using our supers anywhere from there to the bottom of the left stairs. also a lot of gear has orb bonuses and also skill tree perks that will come in handy I believe. I think it should be feasible to create enough orbs for a sword super on both hits of the sword(by that I mean making him kneel the first time then once again before the sword disappears.
