[LFS][PC][SE][EST] Looking to learn SE for the first time

I would like to learn Salvation's Edge so I can work on the patterns and teach/help others as well. I'm a bit of a slow learner so I would really appreciate your patience, but I've been watching numerous guides throughout the week to try and make up for it. I have some experience in the game, and am available throughout the weekend. I am in EST (UTC-5) and play all classes.

I finally completed Vesper's Host solo flawless!

Proof 1 Proof 2

Some brief context: I just started playing the game again after two years (I quit right before TFS launched), and learned the dungeon about a week ago. I had hoped to complete it before the big update came out, but I couldn't manage that. I decided to spend the majority of the week trying again, and got the SF earlier today. I know our characters are probably power-crept to hell from when the dungeon was released, but I'm still extremely pleased to have completed this after two years of inactivity.

I completed the dungeon with the new Prismatic Warlock (at least, new for me XD). I used Nova Bomb for the first and last encounters, and Stormtrance for the second. If anyone's interested in the builds and weapons, let me know! I know most of it was unoptimized given the new patch, but it worked out, with an easy 3-phase on the second boss and a 5-phase on the last boss.

If anyone's interested in some tips, here's just some of what I've learned:

-In the first encounter, watch out for stray bullets hitting the panels when you have operator. I wiped once because I was trying to shoot a shank, missed and hit a wrong panel.
-In the second encounter, the radius of the suppress is MUCH larger than you think, so you can play very safely while detonating it.
-Be careful of any solar scorching effects--if you afflict Raneiks with it, the burning visual effect will make it much more annoying to tell which two servitors are glowing. I tried to save my Phoenix Dive until AFTER I'd identified the correct servitors if I needed to heal.
-During the final encounter, just focus on killing the clones. If you have some gun that deals DoT, it'll tick the boss down eventually, but the clones will make your life a living hell if they're allowed to live.
-Ironically enough, the safest place I found during the last encounter was the boss platforms themselves. It's easy to kill the clones there, the lightning that will strike the platforms is far more controlled and predictable, and you're protected from almost all of the random strikes on the main arena. Just make sure you don't collide with the clones as they're jumping, lest you get knocked off the map.

Thanks for reading!
