Actual parses take into account the time spent between fights while the numbers posted on this thread only counts combat time.

I can see your point on this even though I disagree with it and here's why. Showing my hand allows me to retain my integrity during the competition and if someone beats my time it motivates me to do better. Even if I don't know the total times for the competition I can guarantee you that only another assassin/shadow or sorcerer/sage can match my travel times from the console to the arena and from the arena back to the console.

This page keeps track of peoples combat times inside the arena http://parsely.io/parser/championship/eternal-championship/all/all/all/live/0/ but to get the total time for the contest you have to include these 2 times to the combat time 1. Time from picking up the solo quest from the terminal to the start of the first boss fight. 2. Time after you have killed the last boss to turn in the quest back to the terminal.

12:25 is the fastest terminal to terminal run for me so far. Force cloak can't be used while in combat inside the arena anyway. I could also complain that assassins/shadows have the lowest single target dps atm, it's a matter of luck that I can kill Lanos before he summons the skytroopers without heroic moment on.

The 20 second difference is purely optimization and with a bit of luck I can probably still improve my time by about 15 seconds.

If you compare my parse to the top one then you'd notice that there's nothing wrong in mine. Actually here's the times between bosses on mine and on the top parse. Between 1 and 2: mine 27 seconds, top 11 seconds Between 2 and 3: mine 25 seconds, top 14 seconds Between 3 and 4: mine 28 seconds, top 6 seconds Between 4 and 5: mine 26 seconds, top 14 seconds Between 5 and 6: mine 25 seconds, top 22 seconds Between 6 and 7: mine 26 seconds, top 18 seconds Between 7 and 8: mine 23 seconds, top 16 seconds Between 8 and 9: mine 40 seconds, top 19 seconds Between 9 and 10: mine 53 seconds, top 21 seconds Here's your interval times 1 and 2: 26 seconds 2 and 3: 31 seconds 3 and 4: 27 seconds 4 and 5: 27 seconds 5 and 6: 26 seconds 6 and 7: 30 seconds 7 and 8: 22 seconds 8 and 9: 40 seconds 9 and 10: 54 seconds Total amount of time spent between fights You: 283 seconds = 4 minutes and 43 seconds Me: 273 seconds = 4 minutes and 33 seconds Top: 141 seconds = 2 minutes and 21 seconds Your times are actually extremely close to mine so think again who's the one cheating.

Hatred should always remain ahead of deception purely because it is a sustained dot spec. Having deception outparse hatred would make hatred completely pointless because then deception would have higher burst and sustained than hatred.

Most of them can be soloed.

You should all try Mandalorian Raiders HM + the bonus boss good fun from start to finish. Too bad I can't provide any videos of my kills but so far I've done 12/21 of the HM flashpoints including Mandalorian Raiders

Your level: 65 Roughly average item level: 220 Discipline: Assassin, Hatred Companion: Ashara Zavros Companion role: DPS Companion influence level: 50 Which Mission or Star Fortress are you playing (Solo Mode? Heroic Mode?) Did every Heroic quest on Imperial side. Also did three Heroic Star Fortresses for the weekly quest and had no trouble there with influence rank 50 Lana as a healer. Your personal experience while playing this content: Only Heroic quest where I was in any kind of trouble was The Observer on Makeb with the champion droid and some elites, strongs around.

That is absolutely fine but then I can't take anything you say seriously. The real reason is quite easy to pick up from your answer anyway.

Why do you think people are against your suggestions so much? Think about this objectively before you answer.

I'd like to know what does dumbing down the game means to you? I agree with you having less buttons to press does not make the game easier but it makes the class/discipline easier, more boring and much more predictable atleast in my opinion. This can be improved by practice not by removing abilities. Develop a muscle memory so you can focus on what is happening around you. People are different and not everyone likes simplified things I'd fall asleep with only 15 abilitites to use at any situation. I do not always prefer having more but this is one of those situations where I do.

Floor fires happen every 30 seconds approximately with every third getting delayed by a couple of seconds due to wookie rage which happens every 45 seconds. In a 2-minute interval you can use Force Shroud + Force Cloak (Shroud of Madness) + Force Shroud + Phase Walk rinse and repeat and you won't get hit by them if your timings are correct. Deflection is useless in that fight sadly.

1500-1700 dtps sounds quite high on that fight even for hatred I normally take about 1.1k max and have had kills where I only took 800-900.
