ITT: People discover that raiding is the best way to acquire raid gear. Nothing to see, move along.

This has to rank among the top 5 stupidest complaints about swtor I've read today.

Luckily people like the one linked aren't people anyone cares about. He stood under where the pylon dropped, pylons landed on him. Whoever was tanking failed to put the boss under the pylon. Basically that group were bad, and that guy is pretty much a massive richard. Who acts like that? Not normal people.

In Combat Healing - Medpacs, and you can spec into Unleash heal as well. Offensive burst on a tank would be pretty stupid. Extra Endurance + Armour? Juggernauts/Guardians are already the tankiest class, far more survivability than their other tank counterparts. CC vs. normal mobs: (not sure the jedi skillnames) Force Choke, Ravage, Companion CC, Force Scream, Smash Juggers have the best tank CDs ingame, and when their incombat procs are up, the highest defenses too. They have adequate CC vs. normal - silver mobs. What more could you want?

Just a note, the tank only gets Mindtrapped if he lost threat on the boss. Get better tanks. The pillars not breaking the shield is annoying though. Invisible balls can be dealt with easily.

You're upset because when you choose not to group with other players, you miss certain aspects of content in a MULTIPLAYER game? You get a metric shedton of content and story that as a single player you can enjoy. You expected to be able to do EVERYTHING solo? Either you need to suck it up and accept that you can't do everything in a multiplayer game without sometimes grouping, or you need to pick a single player game to play. Also if your metaphorical piggy bank is only a few dollars, you sure as hell can't responsibly afford a monthly subscription.

1) CREATE a group yourself OR 2) Get some friends/a guild.

They're definately hitting for overly much, but then again in a 16 man you should have a coupel of Marauders for blind?

The Esseles is the Repub equivalent of Black Talon right? We went there the same day we hit 50. Cleared it ok.

You're wrong, there's a mechanic you're missing still.

I have 14 of them, I'm just gonna go back at some point to do it. Dunno what causes it.

Whenever we put through a combination where each group's total number of clicks were more than 1 apart, it would lock us out. If we did it within 1 or the same clicks as each other, we could clear no problem. Were we just lucky on whatever the other mechanic is?

To be fair, there's far less guilds who've killed nightmare droid than killed chess in this time

If you want to tank and heal, roll a tank, and roll a healer. If you don't want 2 Bounty Hunters (for example), roll a BH and a Sorc.

Not for any reason other than loving the legacy name, btu there's a guy on our server called Worgz Mcbaconpants.

Go around.

From a tank point of view: It depends on the flashpoint, the level, and the outcome. If pulling aggro wasn't causing deaths, or causing the healer too much work, then it's not an issue. HOWEVER if the tank asked you to try not to pull aggro earlier in the instance, was probably better to do so before they turned nasty. Tbh some of the 50 HM FPs we know sprint through, I barely tank at all, other than taking initial aggro, since our Sorcerers can just rip it off me anyway. Things die fast in most FPs, and don't OMGINSTAKILL anyone. So if, for example you were doing something easy, then they were probably a little uptight. If it caused any deaths or panic situations, or you'd been asked nicely first and just ignored them, then yes you were in the wrong, and should pay attention to the group dynamic.

Maybe if you'd bothered to read something about the game before buying it and playing it so hard you'd have known there's a) No "competitive" pvp, since you can't join as a full 8, and there's no arena. b) This close to release there isn't exactly a thriving hardcore core of PVPers on most servers yet. c) You'll do all that within game, but were too lazy to spend 20 minutes researching the game you were buying.

There's no poll for me to say Yes on.

Post me a good MMO (good being the operative word) SINCE WoW's release that wasn't pretty damned buggy? Rift was. AoC was. LotrO was. The various Superhero ones were. EQ2 was. Vanguard was. You see what I'm getting at?

So go do it on hardmode? Normal mode is a joke anyway. Master looter works fine on Hard/Nightmare.

Not relevent to OP, but you need to keep reforming the group and resetting the raid under a different leader until it works.

Hardmode flashpoints at 50, unfortunately, require a full group of players or there's no chance.

"WHY IS NOBODY A TANK OR HEALER EVERYONE IS DPS FFS" "I WANT TO BE DPS EVERYONE ELSE SHOULD REROLL" Reroll tank or healer, or lump it. If you insist on staying DPS, you're as much of the problem as everyone else. True Got by without LFD in WoW and other MMOs, will continue to do so. But then again, I'm a tank, and have a guild. My advice, get some friends or something playing, or make some. Although saying that I've seen several times a day a group looking for 1 DPS to finish a HM group. Addressed above about the tank/healer thing, but it works fine. Dual spec would be nice, but isn't necessary. LFD isn't needed, and won't help you find a group. If nobody wants a DPS for their groups, sitting in a queue with all the others isn't going to help. Extra rewards for tanking suits me though

You obviously haven't played the BH storyline then.
