So, with now 3 weeks of Skolas, with all 3 burns, the strategy has not changed. Everyone drops a titan bubble and unloads everything they have, uses a synthesis, and unloads again.
But is this a cheese?
When you look at how the mechanics of Skolas are supposed to work, it's obvious that players found a loophole.
1. Servitors are killed and Skolas lowered to about 75-65%.
2. Essence spawns and players must pass essence in a circle. Essence respwans if player holding it dies.
3. 50% - mines spawn
4. 20% - mines spawn
All while being 1 level down doing percentage damage.
Is Level 35 too hard to do legitimatly?
...Conversation open...

I'm pretty sure killing the boss and finishing the mines constitutes a legit win. Last week you couldn't just gjallahorn him, I'm pretty sure this week will be similar. You have to push the boss past 50% in your opening volley. Once the first set of mines spawn you get through them. Deal with essence and set the boss up for your second volley and kill him, then deal with the last round of mines. There's nothing cheesy about it. Some weapons/builds are just better at killing him than others. It's hard regardless though of how you do it.
