Nightfall failure

I have to get this off my chest and I figured there was no better way then to share it with my fellow dads. My good friend (who is also a dad) and I set off to attempt our first nightfall strike. This week's strike seemed to be a little bit easier than past ones, so we watched some YouTube videos and figured we'd give it a go. We don't exactly have the best gear, but things were going well, we were just going slow and making sure everything was as predictable as possible. I ran defender Titan so I could bubble rez if needed and tried to play a bit more cautious than my buddy. It turned out to be a great idea because I had to rez him a few times. We finally make it to the final boss and things are going well, then the failure noob moment happened when the boss is at around half health. I had been using ammo synths the whole strike when it wasn't safe to run around and grab ammo. We had killed a wave of mobs and Sepiks was just firing away from a distance. I figured it would be a good time to do an ammo run, I informed my buddy and out I ran. Once I reach the middle (top level), Sepiks teleports to the middle himself and one shots me... My buddy sees me go down and immediately runs out to try to rez only to be one shot himself. After a bit of cussing at an hour down the drain, we then laughed, called each other noobs and ran the weekly heroic strike to make ourselves feel better. Maybe we'll try again this weekend, if our wives let us, haha. Thanks for reading! TL:DR - my buddy and I are noobs and fail at nightfall Edit: Thank you all for encouragement and helpful hints and tricks! This makes me want to go home and run the strike right now, haha. Dang these responsibilities :)

    The first part of this Nightfall is the hardest with the stealth vandals. So if you can clear that. There's two easy tricks for the rest. You must have an arc sniper. I used Patience and Time but I'm sure any arc sniper leveled up will work Tank. - you can stay in the back room just before you enter the Tank room and hit it through the window. Nothing will attack you. Spepikis Prime. Kill the initial mobs by ducking in and out of the entrance door. Then enter and go through the door to the left, into the little room and down the stairs. Shoot Sepikis from under here. He can still hit you. But you can snipe him easily and the adds won't get you. I found a way to hit him by aiming through the bars of the under structure. I had a team of 3 and we all had arc snipers, but it took us maybe 45 seconds to kill Sepikis this way. We were all lv31 though and I see you are lv30 so it's going to be significantly harder for you.
