Don't lie. This is for science. Hard mode Crota is a tough fight that takes practice and determination to win and I'm curious about how many people found a team good enough to carry someone.
Edit: this poll seems to have run its course and the way the numbers kept moving back and forth by a percentage leads me to believe we had somewhere between 50-100 guardians show up to vote. It seems that 89% of the community was not carried and downed Crota with no cheese. Thanks for the participation. :)
Edit 2: we aren't done yet. Keep the votes coming in along with stories of your success or struggles.
Edit 3: love the enthusiasm from people who have gotten a hard fought Crota completion. In my opinion each class has their way of contributing for the team in the left strat (don't know about middle strat since I haven't ran it.)
Titans: keep those blessing of lights coming. Keeps everyone alive and in the thick of it longer.
Warlocks: keep those orbs flowing for the Titans and swordbearer along with health regen.
Hunters: excellent swordbearers. Golden gun can clear up mobs if they happen to be grouped. Less effective at orb creation than warlocks on average though :/

Took me like 4 different raid groups last night to get it clicking, the 4th group almost beat crota the 2nd try due to getting the rage on the second sword... ended up killing him the 5th time and did it 2 more times that night. Only used 1 Gjallarhorn each person to take his shield down and sniped the sword bearer
