This is how my guild's first NM kill went down actually, we spent over 2 hours trying to down him on Tuesday night and called the raid. our next raid day we do NM karaggas, roll up and 1 shot Soa. Everything worked perfectly, no one got owned by landing on a ball, the pillars all actually were where they were supposed to be. Needless to say this 1 shot miracle never happened again. Although, we have since gotten the infernal. From what ive seem though it seems your best chance for an easy nearly bugless encounter is on the first try. Dont ever ever wipe the fight on a transition phase or you can kiss the floor goodbye.

The only loot that more than one class uses is relics. At the rate you acquire gear in this game i cant see a reason for not rolling on loot unless people keep quitting and leaving your group. My guild just rolls and the only people who aren't full rakata are the ones who get shafted by a lack of any drops.

i too managed to solo it without using t7 for anything except pulling the boss and letting him die. (hint: pillars)

yea that trash was not fun. this quest needs some serious re tuning and fixing.

Just compelted the puzzle that reveals the chest, i can clikc it but it does not open. and when i say i can click on it i mean bits of it stick out of whatever stone thing is covering it. cannot get the loot for T7. edit: it is not even behaving like a normal chest as when i mouse over to loot it it shows it as interactive from any distance.
