This isn't a nightfall. You don't have to stand on the rocks. The ones that are on the top of the area where the 3 waves of [b]vex[/b] spawn on the Archon Priest [b]strike[/b] when you're opening the door near the beginning. I understand you're JUST NOW getting an icebreaker, but please.. Just don't.
[spoiler]EDIT: Apparently this post was unclear to a few. I don't care if you have icebreaker, I don't care if you bought it, I don't care if you use it. However I do care if you sit at the back of the map sniping off goblins, getting essentially no kills leaving me to do 90% of the work. That's leeching off of me, and is not a play style. I think the icebreaker is great, and I use it for a few things.. But this isn't a nightfall. You're not going to die instantly, and you don't have to stand on that diagonal rock at the back of the 3 wave area on the Archon Priest strike about 1000 meters away, or whatever it is doing nothing for anyone.
EDIT 2: APPARENTLY IT IS STILL UNCLEAR TO ABOUT 2/3 OF THIS FORUM WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT, SO I AM NOW TYPING IN CAPS TO GET THE ATTENTION OF YOUR PRIMITIVE MINDS. READ THROUGH THE POST THOROUGHLY AND HAVE A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT I AM SAYING BEFORE COMMENTING ASININE THINGS THAT MAKE YOU LOOK LIKE A TOOL. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME M8S.
EDIT 3: [b]SINCE PEOPLE WILL INEVITABLY MISINTERPRET MY POSTS IN THE FUTURE, I HAVE A VIDEO FOR YOU. THINK ON IT. MEDITATE ON IT. CONSIDER IT DEEP DOWN INSIDE THE PITS OF YOUR PITCH BLACK IGNORANT SOUL.[/b] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAKG-kbKeIo
EDIT 4: Bolded words were edited in for the special flowers of this thread who needed a little extra help.
EDIT 5: After about a day of this thread being out I remembered the name of the strike. It's called Winters Run. Hallelujah.
EDIT 6: Now that this thread has gone on for a few days and it has played out to my amusement, I will inform everyone that this does slightly bother me, but it doesn't matter to me all that much and I felt like getting a rise out of some people. It was fun everyone, now like it up because we're almost at 100 likes :D[/spoiler]

I've been sniping from that spot since I was able to go into the highest vanguard Strike runs... If your Sniper (any Sniper, not just Ice Breaker) is leveled out enough, the headshots on the Priest will rock him back and keep him from attacking. This allows your teammates to pour on the damage by the bucketful with any other weapon of their choice. In fact, if you and another Guardian with Ice Breaker can get the timing down and alternate headshots, the Priest can be taken down without ever getting a shot off. So your claims of "cry cry cry I'm doing all the work while those cheap bitches with snipers... cry cry cry" just falls apart when actual intelligent thought and a bit of tactical knowledge gets applied to your argument.
