Does anyone have any idea on how exactly Spell/ Crystals/ Item drops work?

kind of new to playing Mazz, and I rarely end up on Bungie.net to play (not all that great a player), so I've been soloing on timid to get used to the enemies/abilities of the core crew. Probably, the most annoying things I've run into are the "shooters", the orbs with spinning columns around them. What are people's usual techniques for taking them out?

Heh, Bungie.net :D

I guess just bomb them with demo's as early as possible, make sure the floats only have one of the stronger units to target initially..?

You won't have Demos on Timid, so try taking them out with the Mort instead, Pathfinder as a back up. I think once the Pyro is level 2, fireballs work well too. Otherwise, make sure to kill Arch Liches as quickly as possible so as to limit the number of arcane stars they can cast.

Yeah, I just made up the name "arcane stars". :P

Hehe... thanks for the help. The damn thing was hard to reach because I had a few columns of thrall interposed between me and it, so I had to use a Flame Path. Hate to have to lose a charge every time I ran into one though, so the fireball/mort suggestion works very well. By any chance, what are the arcane stars? I like to know what to look for. ;)

they look like shiny/ stary things with purple veticle "cat's eye" shaped lines rotating around them.

I think.... I never knew lich's actually spawned them. I thought killing the lich did.
