It's the weekly strike. Bring fire weapons, ideally a fusion rifle. Heavy doesn't matter, either kind works fine. Fight to the door and start it up, then run back to the entrance you came in. Get the attention of the thralls and kill them all. Snipe the acolytes from far away, then kill the knights however you like. Once the wizards spawn, get them to chase you back to the entrance and kill them with the fusion and heavy weapons (fire rips their shields down instantly).
More trash, skip as much as you feel like and head for the area along the pit where the two hallowed knights are. I just charged right at them and used my super (Titan/Striker). It didn't kill them, but one fusion burst to each afterwards did. Now you're at Phogoth.
There's a rock at the back left of his room. Behind that rock is a wall with a spot where you can duck behind, and when you hold down ADS it acts as cover if you're in the correct place. Jump up there and hide, killing off the knights as quickly as possible. They fire mortar-like projectiles that will kill you even in cover. There's like 5 of them, some hallowed, some just chosen. Once they are dead, pick off the leftover acolytes. ***DO NOT KILL ALL THE THRALLS.*** They can't get to you where you're hiding and if you kill them all the next wave of reinforcements is triggered and you'll have wizards and a lot more knights to deal with. Just shoot Phogoth until he's dead. He'll come to you and try to get you with his beam but even on heroic it does very little damage unless you stand in it for several seconds. Duck behind cover and he'll stop shooting, then pop out and aim for his stomach for precision damage. Scout rifle or hand cannon is ideal here. Use up your fusion and heavy ammo too, they do good damage to him.
I didn't need consumables to beat him, but I would bring some to be safe. As for gear, it's not a big deal. Like I said before, due to getting fucked by RNG I'm only L24 from all L19-20 blues with bonuses to scout on all three slots, and I have a L20 rare scout, L18 rare solar fusion, and L20 legendary solar MG for guns.
