I didn't die at the bottom, and you don't do as much damage. Have you looked at your guns? You ever notice that value called "range". It drops off the damage every foot you move. Go ahead, next boss fight start shooting at a boss, keep shooting and walk forward and watch the number grow.
There is no Archon priest door. There's his capsule, but that's about as close as it gets. And no, I think they should play in a way that's completely useless.. Not so much to ask from someone wanting to play a strike.

I can kill half of what spawns in one crit shot, quickly jump to the other rock and super the 3 snipers that come out of the side cave and then shoot over the shield of the Hydra rather than waiting for the shield to move around. All from one cozy little rock. Again, I am not debating which method is faster as I mix it up based on what gun I am leveling up. I am simply stating that there are benefits to multiple playing styles and if someone prefers to stay back and snipe then so be it. Like I said before, just be glad they are -blam!-ing active and not AFK'ing and slowing you down even more. And also, have you noticed on the capsule that the two *gasp* DOORS slide open to let the Archon out?

There's a difference between sitting back and sniping and going up a small mountain to sit ontop of a rock to snipe from a mile away.. Not the same thing. And I don't need to wait for the shields either. I just move slightly higher up and snipe from mid range with my black hammer. Better than doing whatever scrubs are doing nowadays.
