It takes 45 minutes to get to Skolas. Getting by him is the issue for most because they don't communicate well or know what to do. Last week, I joined a couple of buds who said they needed help and they know I've done multiple times (pre/post patch). I needed the cipher points to I said why not. We get to Skolas in about 55 minutes, one wipe at the arc round. This was their party so I sat back and "took orders" as we did our thing. We have no trouble getting the bonds broken but that's where the issues started. Communication on the poison pass and first set of mines cost us a couple of times. I finally step up and take a little charge of the directions. With that, we get to the second set and I (as a hunter) go invisible and go to take out the mines. The leader starts yelling at me to kill Skolas and not worry about the mines. I go, "huh?" He then tries to tell me the mines go away when you kill Skolas.... I then ask, have you actually completed this before because someone who completed it would not say that. He was adamant. Come to find out, he did do it once but it was pre patch Gally-ville and he was the stationary one who didn't worry about the mines. My other fireteam member backed me up on that finally. Moral of the story, know what you're doing.
