Thanks everyone for your replies, I do apologize I was extremely frustrated when I posted this last night .
I had done the fight with with my shadow previously and found it hard but was able to get through it and the big difference I found was he has some range abilities that help when i had to run out of the red circles of death.
With my Marauder that end fight threw me for a loop maybe it was the lack of a range outside the red circles or that I was definitely doing something if not most of it wrong obviously my own fault from the posts here.
I do love my Marauder though
Not sure after beating it if I will go back we shall see but I do appreciate the tips.
I am thinking maybe my skills may need tweaking and the lag I had last night didn't help one bit either and still think it should maybe drop 216 augs at least for the time and difficulty, just my two cents.
Cheers.

wasn't my point to brag about it so no need for that passive/agressive whatever it was.
my point is that you are wrong about that it's too hard because it is not, perhaps You are just doing something wrong and need to improve your tactics. gl!
Yes I realized what I was doing wrong around the 5th death on the main boss still took several more deaths to be able to actually finish it.
That was also after the first robot boss who knocked my companion over the edge on two separate occasions which equals death.
His heal is op and should not be spam able faster than you can interrupt it and it is. he can already knock you back , which he does before he kicks it off, and lets not forget the red circles of death and if you have lag then even more fun deaths occur.
And again its buggy and the reward is crap for the time and difficulty, aside from teeth gnashing to say you completed them whats the point, I did not find it fun in the least bit .
And the rewards are a piece of gear that are pretty much crap that if you just do planetary dailies you can get as good as...
And still have 5 more to complete just to say wow I did them all oh joy....
I apologize about the snark your post did come off as elitist though and I would bet more people struggle with this on Marauders than breeze through it.

You can do it in 216 comm gear with a level 17 companion. I did it on my sniper pre-nerf.
I don't have all 216 gear, all 208 with 3 pieces of 216 and again whats the effing point of doing something for 4 common crystals and a piece of gear obsolete for what is required to complete it.
And that's if you are lucky and get a piece you can even use which most times you don't
-
And don't pretend its not buggy as crap.
Like how they can knock your companion over the edge and they die while if you knock them over they just come back, or the elevator that goes down once or a host of others I could mention but whats the point when you think its just fine...
-
solod it in 204pvp gear easy without any 10lvl buffs from alliance.
Well aren't you just the special little snowflake.
I am a casual player so I am not so leet as you and my other point you ignored is the reward is crap for completing it for the difficulty and time required to complete it.
You can defend crap all you want its still crap.
-
Punctuation. All the cool kids are doing it.
Keep working at it, I soloed all of them, so its definitely doable. Just keep raising your influence level and be judicious with your interrupts.
Yeh I do not really care about punctuation at around the 10th death
Companion influence is rank 24 all 208 gear with couple pieces of 216 still a crap mission and the reward is a slap in the face.
-
Whichever dev designed this crap fest needs to be fired.
The gear you get from beating it is crap considering the gear you have to have to stand a chance soloing it and the liar dev who said its solo able needs to be fired as well because multiple deaths pray you do not get knocked back while he spams that heal he does on the end fight faster than you can even interrupt it and melee yeh stay in range and die.
-
Exactly. I quit the game because I wasn't having any fun playing. It felt like a pointless grind. I come back, have a blast, sub again, and a month later, what do I learn? Fun over, back to grinding. Just the timing of thing is impossibly frustrating. That's why all the hate.
Exactly and the apologist "the people who post in every thread defending BW" do not help frustration.
-
Canceled reoccurring sub, sad I was a founder and played for about a year and a half, I had one of every class at 50+ all role based characters healers and tanks no dps and good gear at the time I took a break right after Makeb came out just felt like a grind to get them all to 55 so I only plowed a couple to it.
Just came back and started new characters and decided to play dps for a change and this nerf made playing a dps way less fun more so for a class like shadow because unless you can start the fight in the H2's its quite painful and multiple deaths does not equal fun not sure how the devs do not grasp that simple concept.
Did they need to nerf companions yes no doubt about it, was this nerf way to heavy handed yes way overboard.
I will be sticking around since my sub just re-upped( yesterday )
but if they do not at least buff the companions back up somewhat I am gone when its gone and will not be coming back a BW anything anymore.You would think they would have learned by now about heavy handed nerfs, not like they cannot take a couple patches to get it right lowering it a little at a time vs the crushing it then giving back a little at a time which is way more frustrating to players.
Then again the other pev was holy bad patch update management , that team needs to be let go and some competent people hired and I say that as an IT professional , if we patched our systems like they rolled this one out my dept would be let go in a heartbeat.

stuck at 100% updating and since posts show this started this AM early I am guessing I will not get to play tonight

So....you're saying that because people can't learn to play their class that the class is broke? am I missing something here? seems like it's a l2p issue more then anything else. reminds me of the Jugg/Guard issue prior to 2.0. people thought their DPS sucked until players started posting crazy numbers...then everyone was asking how they did it.
Although, on a flip note...based on the data Bio has given us about the apparent huge influence raid buffs have on the AC, that may be a variable you have to take into account with the numbers. As well as gearing...we'd probably want to seriously start breaking down the differences in those fights to know for sure. And in your defense, I to agree that if a class is too hard for people to get DPS out of, then something needs to be simplified. which is FUNNY cause the whole argument about the balance changes was that it simplified the spec too much.
But back to the original point....If someone did it, it can be done. perhaps the others haven't sharpened their skill use yet? or are dealing with gearing issues because they haven't figure out the best gear/skill combinations? I dunno...but just because 95% of the population hasn't hit those numbers yet doesn't mean its the class' fault. Heck, the guy kept up with an AC that is know to be top of the field. if anything, that should tell you about the AC's ultimate potential.
And herein lies the issue. IF the classes potential is that high NOW, what will the potential be if they raise the DPS threshold? then everyone will roll a Balance/madness spec because the top players are outperforming every other class by 10% (or whatever). do you want that?
I actually find that sort of ironically humorous. in spite of people griping about the "simplified rotation" based on those numbers, it doesn't look like it's as simple as they thought....
And while were at it, perhaps instead of griping about an AC being broke (when it may not be), perhaps we should get some of those players posting the big numbers in these threads so we can see how they do the song and dance routing, and find out if it's really something within our grasp (like gearing or skill rotations), or if the environmental variables have too much of an impact on our damage (which I think may be one of the larger underlying issues, all things aside)
Maybe I am missing something but these links don't really make your argument that shadow dps is comparable and really disprove it..
After the first 5 which are close the remainder all fall off and if you look at the time of the parses the shadows in order to even keep up in the top 5 have more parse time.

Brown nosing would imply that I am trying to obtain some kind of advantage, acceptance, or approval from either the players or BW. But that would be a no to your questions. I intentionally don't even have signatures to identify myself. I am just as anonymous as you are. All I present is logic and thoughts, which you disagree and I am cool with.
You are not using logic at all you are defending a broken system.
And for the they obsolete your gear in all mmos people bullocks, they put out better gear sure but nothing like making your gear so bad its better to be naked thats a new fail by EA/bio

My only question out of this thread: Why are you asking for one or the other in the title? Shouldn't we want them to balance PvP AND stop hacks?
Agreed
-
ive seen the hack youtube videos but never seen it in game. Show me proof of in-game hacking like every match based on all the qq and I will eat my shorts man.
Seriously you have seen the videos yet still want to pretend they don't happen because you have not seen them...
Is the video not proof...you can also go to plenty of sites that sell hacking tools and also implement them yourself with instructions from other sites.
Tell you what just remain willfully ignorant even after seeing proof then demanding more proof you are proof of my original statement.
-
All of you denying the hacking in this game are being willfully ignorant.
While you tell them to google certain abilities perhaps you should take your own advice and google swtor hacks...
Yes there are speed hacks and a whole slew of others.

To be honest I ignored them in the end, their main function is to distract you from the Emperor so he can hit you with his 30k nuke attack, if you don't interrupt that YOU WILL DIE end of story.
My advice is:
Before the fight use either a fortitude stim or might stim (since your DPS might will probably be best). Target mark the real Emperor so you can pick him out form the clones.
If you can solve the puzzle (assuming it doesn't bug out on you) gear up T7, the longer he lasts the easier it is.
Use you defensive cooldowns, even with a DPS build you should at least have Focus Defense.
Use Enure to replenish you HP every chance you get.
Hit Heroic Moment before T7 dies.
Use Awe at every possible chance, it'll stop the clones dead for 6 seconds.
After using Awe don't AoE.
Don't bother with LoS it really doesn't work that well, and offers no protection against his Force Blast (the 30k nuke mentioned before).
Just stick the the real Emperor like glue and interrupt the nuke of his.
Or if you're really stuck bring a friend, 2 level 50s will make quick work of him, especially as the 2nd player will be able to bring a healer companion.
This is the part that is pissing me off beyond belief, he should not have a one shot insta kill on what is labeled a solo mission, 4 man heroic have bosses do not have this, the dev who thought that would be cool or ok needs to be punched in the nuts repeatedly....
-
Ok this is beyond ridiculous no other class has such a fracking finial fight.
I can care less its the emperor this is my 4th 50 an this fight has a one shot insta kill need to be fixed.
The fact they screw you with having you take a companion you have not geared or used in 30 levels need to be fixed as well.
Kira had resisted the emperor so why can she not assist or scourge seriously t7 .
No one should be forced to group to beat a solo mission.
37k one shot hits, the dev who thought that was ok needs to be nut punched until they never writes code for any video game again ever,
-
The hacks are very real, google swtor and hacks and tell me they do not exist.
Easiest hacks to find are the speed ones, if you hit someone with a snare but they are not slowed and the affect is still showing on them guess what they are using a hack.
There are also hacks for crits and health regen where it has you out of combat while in combat and many many others..
Again just googe swtor and hacks and realize many people in this game use the hack cheats, the game uses client side settings.
-
List them.
Look it up yourself, I am not here to teach you about the class.
-
Operatives have ONE STUN which lasts for a whopping 4 seconds.
Umm wrong.
-
They can in fact chain stun.
Denying this means you are lying or unaware of the power that allows it or trying to keep it from being nerfed.
Dying from it can take forever so if you are lucky someone will come along and assist.
If not yes if they catch you from behind and do the one attack that also stuns you and only use that attack you can and will be stun locked to death.
With 19k hps it takes them roughly 20 seconds to stun me to death since it doesn't hit me that hard and crits are only 1k-1.5k or so but no one should be stunned for that long.

Okay. Have fun playing by yourself in about a month.
The problem with people like you (and with this mentality in general), is that after a while, no one wants to play with you anymore. You're so leet and great that you now can be King of the Hill and play with all your toys by yourself.
Since when is playing a game about "punishing" the losers? Do you act that way when you play Chess with your real life friends or Monopoly with your family? Are you all about rubbing their faces in the dirt when you win? And making sure they feel the devastation of their loss as keenly as possible? I bet people don't like to play with you very much.
Good competitive game-play never has to be about "punishing" the loser, but rather about challenging yourself to see how well you can preform. Respecting your opponent is key and appreciating the fact that, without them, there wouldn't be a game at all.
The sooner you grow up and learn this, the better.

Exactly, between this and the other post about the reality or real competitive sports....

To not be able to code it so games start with even numbers.
5 matches tonight no more than 6 people at any given point while the imperials always had 8.
No match should ever START without even numbers.
They are screwing the pooch so fast its like they want people to quit.
-
Brilliant logic. Because I can't get 100 comms, I'm going to quit and get no comms.
Strawman argument. Look it up.
Players who lose a wz should not get the same rewards as players who win. It's not about gear advantage. Players who are terrible now will be terrible when they get awesome gear. If they get the same rewards as the winners they will never improve. Please try not to take this out of context as you have done everything else I've said.
Ahahahahahaha
No you are not some special little snowflake.
If someone has the exact spec you do and BM gear and you are in fresh 50 gear they will in fact steamroll you.
They can even make mistakes and still beat you.
Its not exactly a high skill game sorry.
KOTET opinion and Vette or Torian choices (SPOILERS)

Nothing but a heavy handed axxhole move by the devs.
My choice my axx if it was my choice why was I not allowed to choose who went where...
Why was it a choice between honorable 2 kids who are dark side companions, why was not one a light side companion...
How many other companions do I have at this point that these 2 were force chosen for me....
Just some dev with a bad attitude who wanted to be edgy and force you to make some dickish choice..
Think I am going to speak with my money after 5 years and cancel my sub.
