LoL. Bionerf. One month into the game, and suddenly everyone thinks class balance can be attained with a magic wand and nothing that needs to be nerfed. Get real. Things will be changed, people will start to cry, and life goes on. This is not NGE, this is not SoE, and this certainly is not highschool. Deal with it

People like this are exactly the reason why I have a level 50, and have had him since December 25th, and will not set foot into a PvP match. Im spending my time crafting, making a ton of credits for later, helping my guild mates and friends get leveled up to 50, and exploring content. Once they address the issues with PvP, perhaps I will step into those fights. For now I just let horde rejects like this sit and stew. I do not have to PvP, the friends I have that are 50 do not have to PvP. Let the Imps Rot for now, if they leave then oh well. If they stay for the changes and fixes that are coming, then I will meet them in battle with joy.

I saved my companion. I am a Full Watchman Sentinel. T7 is my normal companion of choice, so he is fully geared out. Result? I tried this fight 10 times a day for almost a week, and wasted a lot of credits on it. In the end my result was the same as many others, I could not beat him solo. Something you might want to look at here, is that his shadows cannot be damaged with area of effect abilities. As a Sentinel I do not have the luxury of standing in the fire to kill these adds like a Guardian. Force Storm, just about as overpowered as any ability I have ever seen in a MMO. I hated this fight, which is sad because I was one of the first to 50 on my server, but I didn't get to touch Ilum for over a week after I got to 50. Kinda missed my daily quests. Just my 2 credits, its over now for me, although the poor healer that came to save my bacon got STUCK on the planet with his emergency republic fleet pass down for 10 hours. Might want to look into that one too. Little hard to get people to help you with this fight if they get stuck there once its all said and done. Cheers!

By chance did you finish your story line? Did you succeed at the final fight?

Best place to get modable lightsabers is from the commendation vendors. I know Courscant has some, and plenty on later planets. Those will be 14 commendations or so, but should have current level mods in all 4 slots. Find a pair you like, and keep on upgrading them, thats what I did.
