Who :Nemesis Rising Guild on Arkanian Legacy Server
Where: Coruscant & Taris (Republic)
What: SD-0 and Subject Alpha
So we had planned an activity for our Guild, we decided that a World Boss would be a nice target and we would start with the lowest level one on Coruscant to see how we would get on. We mustered a team of 12 (mainly lvl 20-25) with a main tank lvl 34
Before we get started with the flaming I KNOW THIS BOSS IS LVL 18 and I KNOW WE ARE ALL HIGHER LEVEL THAN THE BOSS. This post is not intended as a publicity stunt for our Guild or as bragging. I am just a little disappointed at the bosses as they stand and was wondering about your opinions.
The Boss in question is SD-0. He has 192k hitpoint or thereabouts. The main tank was nearly twice his level - a situation we all know means that he is nigh on invincible in most situations.
Up to this point we had never experienced a World Boss so didnt know what to expect - the Tank went in and got agg and THAT WAS IT. Now I was hoping for a bit more than a simple Tank & Spank - I had read about others taking him on in full raids with lvl 50 characters to tank so was a bit surprised to find that he couldnt really damage the tank at all. I thought this would be a bit more tactical, perhaps an introduction to raiding.
After we won a few of us travelled to Taris to try our luck on Subject Alpha Lvl 21 - he has about 340k Hitpoints? We were mucking about and having a laugh - we ended up naked and dancing. The fight started with an over enthusiastic Jedi leaping into the fray and getting beaten sensless . The tank pulled the Boss and then managed to tank him WHILST NAKED
The fight took an age with just 5 of us but we did kill him in the end.
My point? The bosses that I have faced are a bit easy. Shouldnt the damage they deal be scaled? Lvl 50 characters should find it just as difficult to fight a boss as a charater who is the correct level, surely this is possible in the programming? If not then any group that has a over level character should get lesser rewards than purple items - I KNOW THE ITEM REWARDS ARE FOR THE LEVEL OF THE BOSS AND NO USE TO HIGHER LEVEL CHARATERS. But atm it is too easy to farm the bosses for high level rewards not all of which are bind on pickup.
I dont want to make these bosses inaccessable to characters that should be fighting them but Heroic should mean more than has a lot of hitpoints. ?
