Do the Taken phalanxes make anyone else want to kill themselves?

[Masentaja]

am I the only one?

You are not alone in the frustration.

I started to really hate those things when they put one of them at the end of that spinning laser corridor in the pyramidion strike that waits around the corner til someone is halfway down the corridor, it comes out and does its shield push pulse move and unless you know that ♥♥♥♥ is coming or you are taking that laser room extremely cautiously, it's going to push you into the lasers behind you and kill you.

They did that on purpose and I hate bungie for it.

Just did tier 2 of the reckoning yesterday for the first time and the number of phalanxes is actually disheartening. Have to use heavy ammo on those ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ things to thin it all out.

[Handoiron]

Why kill yourself when you can just let them push you over the nearest cliff with their shield burst?

And yes, they annoy the heck outta me too.

Sucks those guys shields are unbreakable unlike regular phlanxes.

yeah Im currently stuck on the malfeasance quest where you have to pretty much solo "the corrupted" strike. and bungo just filled the place with them.

As much as I hate Taken Phalaxes, those lag switching Taken Captains are even more annoying imo.

Wizards I just plain hate with a passion.

Is the only way to deal with them upfront is shooting the ankle?

[GamingWithSilvertail]

I was gonna say I will take phalanxes anytime over captains and knights... lol

It must be very hard to do that.... *cough*

I think antibarrier rounds pierce them. I never bothered to remember tbh.

[Forrest Gimp]

I shoot legs with shotty, works quite well. But invisible Taken are more annoying for me, they are a quite tanky, and if it's group activity, teammates usually ignore then and run past, so I have to deal with them alone...

[Sidewinder]

No need to, they do that for me.
Then again, I like to be mobile in PVE and jump a lot so I can dodge them from time to time, quite reliably. It's usually when I'm low on HP and have to lay low or am plainly unlucky that I get hit by them and fly away.
And at that point they're usually free kills anyway. Just like regular Cabal phalanxes.

I hate teleporting Fallen captains and especially shanks (the explosive drones) a lot more. Phalanxes, you gotta shoot faster than them, aim at the legs

[Lusus Symphonia]

They have made me angry more times than any other enemy in Destiny.

It's just a BS pushback ability that often compliments the environment, like master phogoth and his 1 mile pushback radius.

It took me a hundred hours to figure out that their weak point was their navel and not their head
