Why do people do “5 10 10 5” where someone gathers 5 and deposits and then the next person gathers 10, etc. ? Or did I just play with a weird group

at least for me, i do 5-10-10-5 because i learned the strat from a datto video first
people do 5 because it lets people defend the conflux earlier than the 10
obv you can do 10-10-10 but it MIGHT be a little tighter time-wise
you’re racing against the first wave of sacrificing goblins on the first mote pickups
basically
hope this helps

5 10 10 5 is better than 5 each time because it allows the eye team to not run into debuff timings and die, and 10 10 10 is a little tricky on timings
its the preferred way to get through that part

Yeah, i feel that 5 10 10 5 is comfortable and standard?
When I have groups that want to do 10 10 10, the first person isn’t always fast enough and it’s an auto wipe.

plus, if something does sacrifice it allows the last person to pickup more than 5 to make up the difference. Once had an interesting run that took over 60 motes into the pillar.

ohhh okay hearing that the last person can then pick up more than 5 makes a lot of sense 
thank you
