haha thanks. And sorry for being late with my response... been quite busy with things and Destiny atm. This expansion really rekindled an interest in the game for me. On a side note....this video actually has 700 views...the most of any video I've made. For the first time ever I really would appreciate a like if you can spare the clicking time.

First off, I'm asking this out of ignorance... I'm 110% not trying to be an ass-hat so apologies if it comes off that way.
From what I've read, this fight takes hours and dozens of synths and tons of deaths.... yet from what I see in the video, you did it by just running to the left, popping a bubble, and jump and rocketing in the air.
Am I missing something?
Is that it? The end level 35 boss is beaten by just doing that? Bubble Rocket Bouncing?
Am I missing something?

Am I missing something? Is that it? The end level 35 boss is beaten by just doing that? Bubble Rocket Bouncing? Am I missing something? It takes a while to get to the boss. Also, while the boss can be killed very quickly, that's only if basically everything goes as planned. Everyone needs to have full heavy and be able to use a synth, so if someone uses a synth during a failed run, you have to wait 5 minutes to try again. So it can take a while.

From what I've read it can be a complicated fight. You have to kill the ghost servitors to get a 20 second buff that lets you do full damage to him, then at half health you don't need that anymore but the mines start spawning and someone on the team gets a debuff that will kill them if not passed in 30 seconds and can't be passed back to the last person that had it.
But if you can do enough damage to burn him down quickly then it's a lot simpler.

Okay...... so the whole level 35 is the part that takes hours... not the boss fight... is that what I'm missing?

It doesn't take hours. It's like how the first people doing VoG took like 10 hours and even the first into CE took several hours. It's a tough fight and until you get it down, and have all the gear you need for it, you're going to wipe a lot. That's what takes hours. Retrying it and grinding through plinking away at him slowly, because you're having trouble doing damage. If you've got the right gear and experience then it can be a very short fight.
Of course next week the modifiers will change and that will shake things up a bit, and hopefully keep it fresh.

That figbt took us 3 hours to get a perfect run lasting essentially 50 seconds. He can blink around and completely dodge a rocket. He can spawn a far side mine that we can't get to without losing essential DPS. Everything hinges on every single thing hitting him and keeping him pinned between pops of heavy ammo synth.
And this is a super punishing strat if you fail. 5 minutes to wait to pop heavy. Another 5 to wait for the next cooldown so you can pop it mid fight.

Very nice! It's kind of unfortunate that this fight is more about burning him down ASAP than dealing with the mechanics in place, but with solar or arc burn on there's not really any other choice. I'd like to see it with no burn next (or void burn, but I don't see that happening) just to see the actual fight play out instead of it being a 45 second ammo dump. Maybe that'd make it too easy though, I don't know.
