  1. Seriously? Guilds which had this encounter on farm GAVE UP when faced with these new changes?

     

    We haven't even beaten the encounter: we came back in here to try to get our first kill, and ran into the new mechanics. It took us about 3 attempts to work out a reasonable strat, at which point we stopped wiping on this phase and continued to try to finish the encounter.

     

    Tank+sentinel on 1: no calibrations get off ever.

    Three dps on 2: no calibrations get off ever, and they move over to 3 when theirs is dead.

    Tank on 3: 2-4 calibrations on this one, depending on how the tank+healer combo was doing on interrupts, before the three dps move over and destroy it.

  2. Just can't seem to find anyplace on theorycrafting with when is it preferred to use power over strength. I have over 2000 strength with buffs/stims and I have 78% surge 38% crit and 103% Acc. With all augments of strength and some surge. Would it be better to change from strength to power augments? Is there a strength cap to where power is better?

     

    Thanks in advance.:)

    You won't go wrong with either strength or power, but strength is (supposedly) slightly better for all attainable levels of strength. You are very strongly into diminishing returns for surge, so you should not put surge on any of your augments. For theorycrafting, check out sithwarrior.com.

  3. No. It's not worth it.

     

    That whole "just pair it with X" is nonsense. I always need that focus for something else (Merciless Slash requires you to have 5).

     

    If it was 1 Focus it would be awesome and I would gladly have it.

     

    If it was 2 Focus I would have to test it to see if I liked it.

     

    But 3 Focus for a conditional automatic okay damage? I ditched it a long time ago.

     

    Don't be silly. If you pair it with strike, you get 2 focus back, so it only costs 1 focus total. The damage for riposte + strike > slash. So it's better than slash.

  4. Of course it's "worth it", it costs you nothing other than centering to activate Zen, and you can't use centering for anything else. It also last significantly longer than 3 seconds. I use Ataru form, so Zen basically gives me 6 attacks which cost 2/3 as much, and decrease the global cooldown on those attacks by the same amount. It's a very substantial dps increase for me. Depending on the form you use, Zen may be more or less useful for you.
  5. The game is significantly easier with T7 versus Kira: most of the people complaining about difficult class quests are using Kira.

     

    That said, there is a challenging class quest where you must use Kira, so don't neglect her gear completely.

  6. I had exactly this problem with The Esseles. I tried to solo it, quickly saw I couldn't, then looked for a group. Any group I formed with was unable to zone in if I was in the group, getting exactly the error stated. The "reset phases" option did not work for anybody, including myself.

     

    I finally solved the problem by dropping the quest and re-taking it. Try that if you run into this problem.
