I got locked out of looting Soa, that wasn't very fun at all. Last boss in the game and we got nothing for it. All but one of us died, and the last one was stuck in combat and couldn't res us. We had to release and run back, but since the boss destroyed the floor we couldn't get to him without dying. Made a ticket about it but ofcourse no answer at all.

Done it a few times and never had it bug. Make sure only 1 person clicks on the 4 core-plates. I usually do it as the tank. This fixed the bug where he gets the buff after the core even if you clicked the plates fast.

Is this a fact? So you can take as much time as you want in the first two phases? With this information we may have to try and go back tomorrow to get a prenerf kill.

Keep trying. All dps needs to switch to Soa when he's stunned and when he's not they need to be on top of mind traps. When you've perfected that you basically only need a lucky try. Or more gear.

You only take 8% off him during p3? How many pillar stuns do you get? If <3 your dps is way too low in the earlier phases and you're doing something wrong / are undergeared. If 3< you really need to switch faster to Soa when he's stunned. Not sure why you would stay on mindtraps during that, everyone must switch to him instantly when he comes out and you should get 8-10% off during one stun to be able to kill him.

Don't break the core chamber as soon as it comes down. Have 1 person do it. Not sure how you managed to hit that bug 3 nights in a row on a fairly easy fight otherwise.

This one could actually be intended. You need to stop dps if someone is in that state. Tons of other real bugs that are a lot worse.

This is the worst designed boss I've ever seen. A big lump of meat randomly chasing people. Must've been done during a coffee break. Not to mention that you don't even need a tank, it's bad enough that there's only 1 spot for us tanks to fight over.

Why should all classes have knockbacks? That would be a worse fix. This is the best way to keep the mechanic, which is well designed if I may say so.

I was fearing that this would happen. Only ran 8-man so far, very tough to get a spot for hardmode raids as a tank. Especially since I came in a bit late to the guild and they already have their core of 8-10 people they run. Tank being probably the most important role does not make it any easier. If it's the same in 16-man the outlook for my powertech does not look brilliant =/

I survive it (sometimes) with 30% hp, sometimes it just oneshots. That is with energy shield (25% red.) and static barrier, and me waiting to instantly interrupt (aka he kills me on one tick). 19,3k hp fully buffed. However, yes, I mostly survived it. Not sure how other people are supposed to survive it though, since he does it on random target after the first one. That aside, the second bug where he goes immune is doing me in. Tried everything, stopping before 10%, stopping before 5%, nuking through before force storm is casted.. nothing helps.

Powertech tank here, I popped my cooldowns at the right time and got hit for 22k. No cake for me.

Just go on the weak/normal mobs first, I never bother with them when I'm tanking, theyre just a hassle to get to and they die in a few hits anyway. After they're killed go on the tanks target or just pick up a strong mob yourself. As long as you follow this and kill weakest -> strongest it's a cakewalk, and makes it easier for the tank because tanking a pack of 5-6 ranged mobs is just impossible anyway.

From my point of view the only well tuned fight is the one in Mandalorian raiders, everything else is way too easy and just a breeze to run through. You're not always supposed to kill everything on first try, and you should never be able to beat a flashpoint if anyone's under the appropriate level. Get the level needed or even one above, figure out the best way to do it (aka bringing them all down at the same time, if you didn't get the hint by the message you get when you kill one of them). The first time we did it we wiped 2-3 times, then we zerged it down. Last time we wiped with only the last one left, so we stopped to think and brought them all down at the same time with relative ease.
