I'll join as a third if you don't mind. It has been a few weeks since my last attempt so I think I am ready for another go 
I haven't got a key though 
but I don't think I have completed a queens bounty yet this week so should be easy to get one.
Do you have a preference on what character to bring as I have one of each. I am thinking Hunter or Titan as both have specials that help with the mines.

Sounds good 
In my opinion we seemed to do better with 3 Titans although a hunter or Warlock are more than capable. TBH each have strengths and weaknesses. Titans with WoD (specifically with Saint 14) simply allow a bit of protection against 1 hit adds that just want to cuddle..
Our tactic was slow and steady - rotate as required and complete focus on adds once they spawn. Hold supers for mines and run as a group. There may be other techniques but this seemed to be working for us. One thing we should probably try is take the second set of mines as we did the first. Then group up, add control and finally smash Skolas.
Quick summary:
Tonight - 8PM "CAPTAIN... *screams*" (PoE 35)
- OweO
- Astaley
- Greboth
Thurs (16/07) - 8PM "This time it's personal" - PoE 35
- OweO
- Astaley
- Meths

Similar tactic to how I have attempted it before, the only difference being the last attempt, I think, we had 1 of each character. I can bring my titan with helm of st.14 then With the right options in the defender sublcass it should be pretty easy to generate enough orbs for the other 2 to get their super back.

Well, finally found a decent group, Dutch guy tearing up with the messenger and ice breaker and another random. Went to 6-0 easy and then lost a 4-⁴ match with a trade that went their way
then ran into a couple of lag switchers. Still, got the stupid pointy ears helmet.I'll join as a third if you don't mind. It has been a few weeks since my last attempt so I think I am ready for another go

Apologies in advance for OweO, he tends to be a little excitable.

Don't worry, I have played enough Iron Banana with him to no longer notice the random noises
I can't do Thursday's mate as I'm at the Fire Station between half 6 and half 9 for training.Sounds good

Friday is probably out for me as well because I'll be out all day on Saturday and I'll need to spend some time with the Mrs to bank some brownie points.
Just you guys do your own thing and I'll post when I can get a free night. Hopefully by then you'll have nailed it and can drag me through without too much fuss.
No probs
We did it last night on what I think was the second attempt (First didn't go so well as we broke his bonds earlier than anticipated and he teleported directly onto us).
It was an interesting run at Skolas as Greboth dropped out of the party half way through due to PSN issues. We still managed to get the taint passed around and get to a point where we switched to in game chat. Took our time on the second set of mines and then burned the ****. As a reward two of us got the cypher (I think as Astaley already had one active on the character he was running he didn't get another one), shader, ship and emblem. No primaries dropped which was a shame.
All in all it took just over and hour and half which included wiping twice on the Cabal section due to us mucking about.
I did manage to snag a couple of shots (although the shot of our ships doesn't have our emblems showing as I did my usual trick of removing the UI - which didn't need to be done...
)
Also the shader really wasn't working on Bluey.. Turns out Pigtails rocks it though..
All in all not a bad run. I look forward to smashing Skolas without lightswitch now.

******* PSN
I don't know what happened, I dropped out the party then none of my friends list, messages or party stuff was loading. It was annoying trying to operate the PS menu while also trying to be around to take the taint. When you and AStayley went down I ran to the orbs so I could pop a bubble I was so close to death, I genuinely thought I was going to get killed just as I was popping my bubble. Apart from the problems with comms, run on Skolas was pretty easy this time round.For anyone who has run it multiple times, do you get the shader, emblem, ship etc. only on the first time you personally run it or first time you run it on each character?
