Thanks so much for all the info. From what I'm reading, the strat I designed is the right one, so that's a good sign showing that it's really a DPS race, one where we don't have the gear for yet. For the Fabricator Droid (on normal) though, do you guys have your tanks switch clicking the panels on 6 stacks of sunder? Also, do you use middle and right, or right and left blaster cannons?

Some background here. My guild is an all Dutch guild, we really just farmed EV on normal. One night we decided, for funsies, to do Eternity Vault Hardmode. To our surprise, we cleared 4/5, in one night. We didn't quite have the co-ordination for Soa, so we went to KP, figuring it wouldn't be much harder. We haven't been able to kill Bonethrasher once, we never get him below 30%. The tactic we used (which is one I designed) goes as follows; Everyone starts spread out. BT targets one person, that person's name gets called out on TeamSpeak, they move away from the group and tank the swipe. This is all there is to it, and we found this to be the easiest way to manage who gets hit and who doesn't. Can someone tell me why we almost cleared EV on HM, but can't kill the 1st boss in KP? What are we doing wrong? (It might be worthy to note that we have not been able to get past Fabricator Droid on Normal Mode either, the people on the puzzle aren't fast enough.)

Are you Saigon from Entourage?

Columi is good enough, but people have less than or a couple of pieces of Columi obviously wasn't good enough. BioWare noticed it, fixed it, now it should be fine. If the health pool was low enough for everyone to easily be able to clear it, they wouldn't have changed it, they obviously got tons of reports that plenty Guilds couldn't kill it because of the healthpool.

Wiping continuously on the same % with the right strat does not make perfect. The only thing that gives is frustrated raiders, maybe your guild has better than Columi gear and therefore is able to steamroll content, but my guild does not. The fix was neccessary. The "my guild" argument was providing a valid reason for the fix, so it did go somewhere, and definetly meant something.

If my Guild was doing it like people in this thread have said and still couldn't get past it because of his way too high health, then it's not nerfing, it's fixing.

So the strat is: Right burner, mid burner, right burner, etc? What's the time for his enrage, and how many times should the burner be used? Also, what is the average time to solve the puzzle?

700K seems highly unlikely considering all of the members have columi gear.

I used the search function, but I couldn't find another post on this so I'll post it myself. (If this has been mentioned, and you can show me, I'll post there.) In Normal Mode Karagga's Palace, the G4-B5 Fabricator droid has 2.1Million health. So far, in every raid I've been, he has not gone down because there is so much health left when he hits enrage. On Hardmode he has 1.6Million health, so if you could kindly change the health around to make it not impossible in the current gear required for the other bosses, that would be great. Thanks in advance. EDIT: Many times, after we start up with the damage blast, he will not move from place, take damage and we're forced to do the puzzle to bring it back to the damage blast.

The level of difficulty is a bit odd, seeing as Normal Ops are in most cases easier or on par with the HMs. The way I did it was like this: I geared up in PvP gear, then went on to Ops, and now I do HMs in my spare time. I think the way BioWare intended it was to have you gear up in normal FPs, then to HM FPs and then on to Ops.

And you think ranting on the forums is going to help that? I'd suggest leaving and coming back when they've deployed fixes for most of this stuff. You won't be missed until then.

First off, if you want to make a point, use punctuation and proper sentence structure. Second, I'd rather have them fix bugs, change stuff, and make things better before they release more bugged content.

I'm dreading my dreads as a hairstyle (c wut I did thar?)

Can't wait to have a list like this in-game, Atlasloot here we go!

What makes you think that you got off of Taris at level ~24? It's a level 16-20 planet, there is no way you got 4 extra levels on that planet.
