Wiped several times at the Templar, but to be fair we did have someone wanting to get some experience weilding the relic there so that is to be expected. The Templar enraged our first real decent attempt which was a combination of a few things - too slow to take down his shield and no titan to provide weapons of light up top. We also got marked a few times, partially due to too few people shooting oracles. EVERYONE needs to be focusing on oracles if they are up. We did finally take him down after maybe 6 attempts. LittleMoshi definitely seems to be getting a good feel for wielding the relic at this stage which is awesome. Couple stupid deaths at the Gorgons which I'll take responsibility for. Not enough communication on my part. Sorry fellas. I honestly can't remember the Gatekeeper fight so that should mean it went well but I don't think we had it first try. Biggest thing here is that the people holding the portals open need to be communicating and calling out praetorians - and everyone needs to focus on them once one has been called out. Out of everything, however, Atheon was a mess. We were apparently hit by some bugs, though I didn't witness them myself. We succomb to oracles A LOT! If it wasn't bugs than I'm thinking it was unfamiliarity with the spawn order causing people not to be shooting at the same oracle and thus them not dropping fast enough. I'll see if I can put together a quick video showing the oracle spawn order for future reference. Beyond oracles though we were struggling to stay alive outside too. The lack of a titan was really felt during this stage of the fight too. We did finish but it was a long and arduous battle. Time: 2hrs 26mins Grade: C
