  1. Hi. I'm a Vanguard tank. I completed Lost Island HM, but was only able to do so with RDPS. When I went with melee DPS, we consistently hit the enrage timer. It was not a failing on my end, or the healer's end (which should be clear since we hit the enrage so much.) I interrupted incinerate every time, usually even before it got to 1 stack, and I was always above 50% health (so it wasn't the healer's fault, either.) It wasn't the DPS' fault. They never died, and they had Rakata gear. We had both the DPS switch to their ranged alts (who had about the same gear) and beat the boss on our first attempt. Lost Island is poorly balanced. You can pretend that it's not, but it is. You can say that you're better than everyone because your group did it with MDPS, but it's probably because you're just better than everyone. Congratulations, you have won an MMORPG. Go get a tan, or treat yourself to a cake. That does not mean the fight is properly balanced, it just means you were able to succeed in the face of adversity. Once again, congratulations, your majesty, king or queen of MMOs, and conqueror of lady or man parts. Maybe being great has gone to your head and made you stupid. Or maybe you just don't don't understand the concept of balance. Whatever the case, if you think Lost Island HM is balanced, you are wrong. Lost Island is a GREAT instance. It is tons of fun, but it also needs tons of work. Open your eyes.
  2. Hi there, folks. Just had a question about Lost Island hard mode. My group & recently tried to complete this. We ended up dying to LR-5 at least 10 times before eventually giving up. We were mostly in Tionese/Columi gear, but we kept hitting his enrage timer at about 30%. (You know, when his lightning fields max size immediately and deal more damage.) I knew Lost Island was difficult, and I'm fine with that, but the drops seem absolutely terrible compared to the difficulty. If you can't do it in Tionese/Columi, why does it does drop Columi gear? The only reason for that I can think of would be so an accomplished raider could quickly get a few pieces of Columi for their offspec, or something, which seems like a weird thing to build a Flashpoint around. All in all, it was a fun learning experience (surprisingly,) but I have zero intention of doing it again until I'm in full Rakata. It's just not worth it. I could've completed T5, MP, or FE twice in the time we spent on this. I am all for having this remain as difficult as it is, but if you're not gonna nerf it (and I'm not complaining,) at least make the gear drops better. I can't see anyone completing this unless everyone's in full Columi-level gear, and if that's the case, it ain't worth doing. It's easier to get your Rakata chest piece by raiding than it is to do LI HM. In this guy's humble opinion, anyway... Thanks in advance, Ciao.
  3. That second video was hilarious. Very well done at the end, there.
