I try and stay out of the forums, but figured I'd throw in my point of view on the matter. Xzil is absolutely right, the fact is that the republic has a lot larger and stronger player base for both PvP and PvE. That doesn't mean that the imperials don't have any good players, because we do have our fair share, but we have a lot less of them. When it comes to pugs and solo queuing, it is very common to find yourself in a group where everyone else has terrible gear, no expertise, or are just plain stupid. To try and alleviate this occurring, imps find themselves grouping up and queuing in strong 4-mans. In my experience, when I do this, I very rarely loose. This is because when we find ourselves in tough matches we play for objectives, not numbers. Long story short, imperials are generally forced to group up if they want to win, while the pub's larger and more experienced player pool allows them to solo que and still do well. I think that the creation of battle groups could help fix the imbalance, but until then if you want to win on imp side grouping up is your best shot.

Yes, he does not have a NiM version of the fight, but there is a HM Ops to kill him. We will be trying it tonight see how it goes.

What class/faction are you guys?

I had a lot of fun last night, all the matches were close and entertaining till the end. Thank you for organizing this and I hope we do it again soon.

Here's my guild's kill video. I added overlay text explaining the strategies we used to kill them. Hope this helps any guilds still struggling to kill very tough boss fight.

<Insurrected> cleared up to Kephess last night. We were pleased by the increased difficulty of NiM Denova and here is a little guide showing the mechanics and our strategies to kill Firebrand and Stormcaller, debatably our hardest challenge yet.

Pichon (Imperial) can now craft: Advanced Resolve Armoring 27!

I'd love to sign up and come, but I don't want to sign up without knowing whether or not I can make it. Any chance we could get some sort of approximate date?

Pichon (Imperial) can now craft Hazmat Force-healer's MK-4 System

Pichon (Imperial), can now craft Aptitude mod 27.

Nope, 3/7/31. Have you found 7/3 to be mroe effective in pvp?

Breaking 5k damage as a madness sorc, which for me at least is a pretty impressive feat. http://i46.tinypic.com/vor50y.jpg

<Insurrected> Originated on The Corsair, where we use to be know as <Insurrection> then changed the name once the first transfer to Canderous Ordo happened.

Definitely, but I think the pubs would be at a slight disadvantage
