14 medals? I usually get 11-12, including 2 for the 2.5k and 5k single heal from shock water... Wonder where the other 2 are coming from.. Wonder if he spam heals himself in fire to get the 75k heal.. I usually do not get 300k damage so thats 1 medal.

Begining of fights I taunt after I charge in. 6-7 seconds later I usually drop my AOE taunt. This gives me the first 15 or so seconds of the fight where the boss is on me no questions asked. After that my threat is usually never in question because I got my hits on it... First 15-20 seconds is the hardest part, sometimes he turns around for 1 swing. I tell my dps to dps, its my job to not let them get hit... So I do not tell them to wait. People are shooting as I am in the air towards the boss so thats why I taunt cycle the begining

My guys got a little antsy and solved the North pylon first for the 2nd phase. The puzzle froze up, and there was no way to reset the instance. We tried everything. Basically I was saved to the instance with the bugged pylons because I was the leader. They eventually were able to reform and have a fresh instance after Gharj. Whenever I was invited I zoned into my own instance with the broken Pylons. Any ideas? Hoping it fixes itself in the next couple days so we can go finish

I spec'ed dps for the last 2 weeks.... I was the 2nd person done my boss vs the counsel in EV... I took the Marauder to, not the mob meant for the tank. gave the 2nd one to a lower geared dps ( he was first done)

South first everytime works. We died first attempt lastnight because adds starting spawning before we were ready ( dont think anyone clicked a console) We beat it no problem.. and got No rakata leggings.. was upset a bit..

I agree with pretty much everything Karbarach is saying..

He didnt drop any Rakata offhands this time around. Dropped less items... Anyone with any ideas? was a fresh week.

My guys seem to be getting hit by the lightning balls and dying.. Im tanking so I dont see it how they are doing it? Everyone is over 15000 hp... not badly geared.. I have 23000... Do u got to JUMP into them? do you have to hit them first? They dont seem tauntable or anything...

Got loot in hard mode EV last night. 4/5 Master looted 2 bosses and 2 chests, no issues. Think I may have figured out Soa as well for tonight!

I thought everyone got this, as I always am leading... GAHH

Where are they from if you are not a crafter?

I am a tank and I have got mind trapped several times, and I am fairly confident it was not due to losing agro.. Usually if I get a bit to far away from him or if i decide to jump at a mind trap to help dps or something. Have another player switch stances and taunt.. no big deal

There is DPS offhands that are shield generators without the shielding aspect

exceptional med pack heals for over 2.5k

Hard mode Flash points.. sucks when you dont gear the gear you would desire but it is random. My companions are looking pretty good in columi tho.... If it was not random, you could have 3 equiped players run 1 nonequiped player through all the flashpoints and get them full columi in 1 day.. cant do that.. Normal Mode EV.. I hate the auto assigned loot, its pretty horrible... Makes its not even worth doing pretty much when you have a group equiped with mostly champ or columi when they only need a piece or two. No one is gonna pug this ... maybe bring a pug or two along .. but not a straight pug. Hard Mode is fine.. random loot, can master loot.. its random sometimes you'll get stuff everyone needs sometimes you lose out and get stuff no one needs.. Heck I got 4 pieces of Rakata in 1 run, and didnt even kill Soa Hard yet.. lucky me.. The Operatives and Sniper in that particular run got the shaft.... as it was mostly BH / WAR drops.. but thats the way it is..

I get Soa under the pylons maybe 7 out of 8 times... We have wiped and got bugged out many attempts, and I did tank the first Soa kill on our server.. 7-8 times is not good enough.... If you miss one of those things it takes a miracle for your raid to kill the boss... Its possible... but with enrage and people getting trapped and stuff you just dont have enough time.. Sure If we were playing baseball 7 for 8 would be awesome but in this encounter if the tank misses 1 of 4... that attempt is pretty much a wash.. You can get a 5th one if enrage didnt hit and kill you.. Or if tank didnt get mind trapped and have Soa Reset. I have had the assassin immediately taunt Soa if tank gets mind trapped and I think that has prevented him from reseting.. we shall see.

Im Max on a 26" wide screen it doesnt help. Have you actually positioned him Cognan?

agreed, its hard

You finish false EMP in 20-40minutes with a standard group I'll send you 100$

What are these abilities you speak of?

I consider myself a very good player. been tanking for 16 years since EQ... Is there a better way to know you are under the darn crystal so it hits the boss? Im panned out 100%.. i run to where the crystal comes from so that I can better follow it but... damn... I am like 75% or so which is good but you cant miss if you want to win.. Anyone do anything different or have any tricks? I am told people standing far back can see it better..

Its been talked about alot.. I dont know if BW plans to upgrade them or not

Sith entity is an optional boss... Even with great dps he seems to enrage on the last phase.. You need to make sure your melee dps do not go in until he does his aoe knockback ability while enraged.. Tank uses cooldowns, profit.

We figured this out lastnight.. If you make the person raid leader who has something to loot.. They could loot the chest.. We couldnt open both chests and was a little bit upset running past them on our Soa attempts for the night... One of the people who had loot on them said hey give me lead and was able to loot... So we looted all of the 2 chests an hour or so after they were originally open!
