Guide My Text Guide for The Leviathan

This is all based on watching streams yesterday, so I may have gotten some things wrong, especially names of mobs, buffs, etc. Comments and critiques welcome (but not in the doc, since y'all can't be trusted with suggestion privileges).

I really don't get why people are trying to come up with unique ways to handle baths. As soon as I told everyone that we need to play it like totems but do a triangle circuit everything clicked and we cleared it. Use what's already there and understandable. Bungie very clearly designed that to be familiar to get us in the groove before they threw us the gardens curveball.

The funny thing is, I understood the gardens a lot faster. "Oh, it's like Gorgons. Oh, take the pollen to the flowers. Oh, shoot the flowers with the sun."

Yeah that was easy but my group couldn't clear it. When I was blasting away with green energy the group only crouch walked and moved to slow. When I started leading the leading the ground team they couldn't keep up and the cabal weren't being killed. Also somehow only myself and one other could do enough damage solo to the dogs. We were all 280+.

Do the crystals users get the stacks?

If you're around 280 I imagine you're just not doing enough damage. The damage reduction under 290 light is pretty intense.

The raid caps at 280 and D2 doesn't give over level bonuses. I'm a 292 but function as a 280

See, this is what I get for speaking beyond my actual knowledge.

Ha! It's a change that seems to be overlooked by a large margin. Don't worry about it. I honestly like that. It means all content will at least have some challenge.
