  1. tanking in this game is annoying, and im the tank for our 4/4 HM EC group. oh and btw im on master dar'nala SO many bosses have threat wipes which make tanks look bad when he turns around and almost kills ur dps in a single hit. SO many mobs stun as soon as the pull starts and then the mobs walk over and beat ur healer. Sometimes taunts dont actually work, use i have used taunt and for 6 seconds the mob is supposed to attack me and he just goes 1 second later im gonna hit that melee dps instead. And taunts are on a rather long cooldown. Threat drops from dps dont always work. We had a sentinel who did not even have threat use force camouflage just to keep his threat down only to have the boss turn around that instant and wack him as he popped out of stealth even though it is supposed to drop all threat. Most the mobs in this game are ranged and so many dps dont wanna focus targets. people will probably just say l2p however i never actually fail at doing at 1shotting HMs in its just hell annoying when things like that happen.
  2. meh we farm hm ec with 2 melee dps in our 8man group. can down it in 2hours easy. Melee do far superior dps to ranged but the tradeoff is they have to run out sometimes.
  3. seems easy enough, did it a couple nights ago on nightmare. Solo healed bonethrasher or whateva his name is hell easy. Jarg and Sorno same fight as always -> use 2 tanks, interrupt all heals and unload, heavy heals on the tank with the debuff (the other shouldnt take much damage during this phase as long as he interrupts unload asap)
  4. i started on my vanguard tanking HM EV and KP in champion supercommando gear, those ops are incredibly easy though especially since they got fixed (abilities such as lightning balls dont hit anywhere near as hard now) If you want to do damage in PvP whilst still being a tank and on the frontlines that doesnt die fast. Then you have to go for a few extra dmg talents and skip a couple of the reduced damage talents that you might of picked up as a PvE tank (i dont have extra endurance (3% of 2000 endurance is like 600hp) or the 2% reduced damage taken, instead opting for more damage) Those talents aren't neccessary for PvE and no im not squishy and im the main tank for our HM 4/4 EC group. my defensive stats are: 23.6k hp, 47% shield chance, 56% absorb 71% with relic passive proc and 16% defense chance. Now gear wise for pvp if you wish to do decent damage is to get the battlemaster/war hero combat tech or whatever one it was that gives a boost to your stockstrike being your highest source of damage, while keeping your shield generator on. generally a sticky grenade -> storm -> stockstrike -> energy blast (off the gcd) -> high impact bolt -> ion pulse spam does a fair amount of damage this way. just remember to keep an eye on ammo and ammo cooldowns.
  5. no but it does interrupt, you can heal yourself in this time and when you resume attacking theran will continue to heal you for a bit. Generally what i think he did was hit the first son and when holiday stunned him, used a heal as to wait for therans heals to come off cd and resume the attack. Alternatively i just used Zenith and pummeled the first, interrupting only collapse cavern. When i was low i ran beind the rocks by the entrance and used 2 big heals and force armor and continued to kill him, i rinsed and repeated that.
  6. if he did 24.8k dmg to you in 10 seconds, im guessing you stood there for 10 seconds for him to hit you. If hes pyro spec hes got 0 gap closers except for a 45 second cooldown harpoon which does not work if you have resolve and does put some resolve on you. If he gets close just use force slow and force speed way, dot him up and chuck out some damage. When he gets closer follow with a force stun, reapply dots and run away a bit more and reapply force slow off cooldown. He still hasnt caught you and has barely managed to break your shield with his ranged attacks, continue to pummel him. As he gets close force wave/overload and reapply force slow, run behind a pillar and chuck a heal on yourself if needed. then kill him. and there you have a dead pyro PT who didnt get to do any damage and got *****. And yes i have both a lvl 50 vanguard and a lvl 50 sage in fact i have a lvl 50 sorc from US servers and i remade a lvl 50 sage on oceanic servers. i have found with vanguard the people who fight me best are the ones who keep me away from them, as i have to be in melee to do my burst and 10m to do any kind of decent dps. Im BM rank on 3 chars and war hero on my vanguard so i have a little pvp experience.
  7. if you're good enough then most of them can be duo'd/3manned. ive heard of people doing HM kaon with a tank companion. Taral V is just plain easy, when we use a proper group for this our healer doesnt even have to heal, we just get him to dps and chuck an off heal every now and again its that easy. so im guessing with comps its possible. other than that why dont you try for yourself? we can obviously tell you what we can do but we have no idea if you can do the same as us.
  8. if you mean the yellow reticle to debuff toth then the tank can just run over and use it. zorn does not move at all and nothing changes when the tank moves over.
  9. our shadow dps is irreplaceable in our 8man HM EC group. Just because our strats on zorn and toth and stormcaller and firebrand and warlord kephess call for our shadow dps to use a taunt. On zorn and toth when toth jumps our shadow taunts him asap back to the wall while the tank moves with toth and taunts when hes far away from zorn. preventing the drouks from getting their proximity buff. On stormcaller and firebrand he sits on the firebrand tank and just before incinerate armor is used on the tank he uses a taunt, getting the debuff on him then our tank taunts back and this way we never have to tank switch making this encounter incredibly easy for us even on hard mode we can 1shot it. On warlord kephess when the trandoshans come out our shadow will taunt the warrior and pull him away then kill it while our tanks pick up the trenchcutters and aoe them down.
  10. did this as a 45 sniper solo no probs, i used scorpio companion. didnt even need to use heroic moment which im guessing almost everybody forgets to use if something is too difficult for them.
  11. hello, my guild currently runs HM EC with 2 melee dps. We get them to stay on toth for most of the fight until he enrages, When this happens they run to the sage for aoe heals if needed and if not run over to zorn and dps for a little bit. Once the yellow reticle has been placed on toth and his beserk removed they go back to toth. IF you are not standing at max melee range you are liable to get hit by his cleave. Its easily avoided if you dont stand on him but rather just in range to use ur attacks. The stomp isn't so bad and is easily healed through. we never have a problem with our enrage and our melee dps actually top the charts on this fight currently.
  12. You must be doing something wrong. or you dont have a good group. When i do hard mode flashpoints, hm Taral V i can do in 15minutes (skipping the bonus boss) HM MP/D7 in 30 - 35 minutes (skipping bonus boss in D7), HM Esseles in 30minutes, HM Kaon under Siege in 40 - 45minutes. The ones that take a bit longer seem to be battle of ilum and false emperor HMs but i dont think they take me much over an hour. OPs generally take longer than an hour but thats because its nature is supposed to be hard for a large group of 8 or 16 people.
  13. You're playing it wrong. Warzones are not single player games, get team coordination. We have a sage whos much squishier than a commando and all we have to do to keep him alive is to guard and taunt while killing whatever is on him. With guard and taunt our sage takes (100 - 5 - 50) / 0.3 = 30% damage.
  14. you didn't stay at max alignment and to fix it just go run black talon and choose dark side options again.
  15. if you're the last one to die on cannons you are the one failing. Why you ask? well its simple, you are supposed to turn around 180 degrees to shoot the monsters behind you. If you want to know why its because it reduces the turning arc you require by far, instead of trying to turn around to cover a 140 degree arc you only need to worry about a 60 degree arc, far easier. In other words, you are responsible for the person behind you, if they die its your fault, if your still alive they did their job.
  16. zomg let me solo 16man nightmare ops please its so hard to find 15 other people to play with let alone ones that are geared enough and smart enough to do this! zomg companions dont move from aoes, or taunt when i have lots of armor debuffs, or control the panels on the fabricator! NERF ENCOUNTERS SO WE CAN SOLO PLEASE. but on a more serious note, massive MULTIPLAYER game lol. if you dont want to do the things designed for groups of players then dont, no one said you had to. to be honest besides hard modes me and my friend duo'd most 4 player content with 2 dps companions (i was a tank he was a healer) if you still want to do it, be more social. Talk to people man be friendly. do a /who and whisper people in your level range. me and my friend could still find other players willing to do some of the group content with us when there was only 5 people on corellia other than us (started again on aussie servers and levelled faster than the main population) half the time we didnt bother cos it can take like 30mins (and hence duo'd it) but if you have patience then its easy (we were asking while questing anyways) edit: its probably all this people wanting to solo only and not even bother talking to others thats making the servers so dead. MMO's are wayyyyyyyyyyy more fun when you have people to play with. If no one talks people get bored and just leave.
  17. if theres dummies does that mean theres a damage meter coming? have a dummy and not knowing how much dps your doing is kinda pointless.
  18. my computers rather mid range probly heading down towards the low end of the spectrum and i can load alderaan in 30 - 45 seconds wheres this 5minutes coming from everyone? 7200 rpm 1tb hdd i5 2420 geforce 260 gtx 8gb 1333mhz ram. or something along those lines dont remember exact models and numbers im not much a comp geek.
  19. your obviously just spamming abilities. what you should be doing is making sure u never go under 60% this is what i do Corrosive dart -> corrosive grenade -> weakening blast -> auto attack -> cull -> cover -> series of shots -> auto attackx2 -> cull -> corrosive dart -> weakening blast -> corrosive grenade -> auto attack -> cull etc etc basically i keep my energy over 60% so i get full 5 energy regen/sec + 1 for every poison crit. everytime you below that youre losing energy and therefore losing dps. auto attack isnt even that bad i mean it does like 800 dmg.
  20. turn on companion nameplates? LOL You can buy them lots of gear, heck i decked out khem val with pvp oranges and an orange commendation vibrosword and just upgrade the mods.
  21. i wish we could put our own companions on ignore lol. for the chat box just make a custom box cutting out his talk. for the sound i dunno.
  22. A guild master that doesnt like to play with others? eh doesnt sound too fun. The heroic areas are optional btw and just offer nice rewards, you can completely skip every one and still lvl up fine...that being said theres usually so many people in the heroic area you just invite them and kill stuff together. and yes its very easy to get lvl 50 in less than a month even watching everything (im watching it all for at least the first time of each quest i havent done before)
  23. i actually want a damage and healing meter. While i was someone in wow who could pull a lot of dps especially for my gear levels i wasnt the one to spam or link it all the time, only when i broke my own record and wanted to show ppls. (friends not randoms) The best part is you can see whats working and whats not for best damage (you should be able to generally tell anyway but this sheds more light) The other benefit is you are trying to down hard content but constantly fail for hours on end, for weeks...you can see who really isnt pulling their weight. While being kicked for being sub par isnt the best experience its probly better if you find friends instead who wont care so much as long as they can down the encounter. Im not sure bout most of the community but i dont really like to finish content for people who dont know how to press a couple buttons for at least acceptable DPS (less than half of a decent player not sure how its possible but it was done ALL the time in WoW)
  24. lol im a sith sorcerer specced into healing on this fight and i fought bessiker at lvl 21... i didnt even have to use a heal it was that easy. i have gotten all the best gear when i came across it for my characters. Khem went down to about 40% hp before bessiker died. i kinda remember every move i did in order too: Overload Crippling darkness Affliction Force lightning Shock Lightning strike Force lightning Shock Lightning strike Crippling darkness Affliction Force lightning Shock and done, i dunno maybe khem got lucky on dodges or wateva its called. but thats all it took
