Fastest CoE path?
It’s all dependent on what you are doing. If you play an organized team with strong gear and good skills, you can blow through path two very quickly. Path three is medium difficulty, the main difficulty being the long run to the last alpha fight. path one is very quick and the sub-major boss (frost titan) is the most intuitive for pugs to understand.
teleporter route was actually the go to route for my group for awhile. we hadn’t been able to secure a solid fourth player, which made the destroyer fight hard to cooperate, and submarine had what seemed like time killing challenges like the channel disable room.
Again it depends on what you are able to do as a party and your own set up. an organized experienced and well geared group can blast through all three paths in about 2 hours (with 5-10 min smokebreaks in between). voice comm and experience is really the best way to speed up runs.
I find the large HP pools of the bosses the greatest difficulty; its hard to stay awake. I’ll take your word for it and try to do path 2 more often now though, thanks!
