Grats Guys! And to everyone else for all the recent boss kills

You are doing something wrong then - either you as a healer or your group as a whole. I say this as a healer. The fight was a joke to begin with in terms of healing and could have easily been done with one healer..there was hardly any damage. So now that it is slightly more challenging ppl want to QQ about it? If people are getting that low in that fight even currently - something is wrong. As for the adds...Option A) Your tank sucks at picking up what he should. Option B) Your DPS suck and everything is lingering WAY too long. Option C) You're healing is questionable. Option D) Some combination of the three. FYI - Threat Drops are your friend. Good Luck.

Oh Thank Baby Jesus that was resolved....I was afraid that you guys may get someone that knew what they were talking about and actually start playing your class correctly instead of just complaining about it. It's good to know that the incompetence is going to continue. Hallelujah!

A good tank would do his best not to listen to this paragon of wit and intelligence. and LOL - what have you tanked NiM? I'd give you a pass for just being new to tanking in this game but even with that - the taunt mechanic is pretty basic to understand. Good Luck to you doing ACTUAL difficult NiM content with a good DPS team. *two thumbs up*.

Are people Joking in this thread? Honestly...I honestly mean that. Those FPs are the easiest... most mind numbing FPs. All I did (as the healer) the entire time was bubble my group...the bubble never broke on trash..occasionally would break on a boss fight..and I don't believe one person fell below 85% health...and that was just standing in whatever they wanted because it was so easy that there was no need to move out of anything. I literally had to make sure a few times that we were actually doing HM...which ..Yes it was. Good god people - some of you are the ones giving class advice *two thumbs up*

(clears throat: insert pouty voice here) Nerf Guardian Tanks! It's not fair!...I rolled a shadow because they were the best tank and now they aren't...*stomps foot* I don't like it! Fiixxxx ittttt Now! or perhaps leave the Guards alone since they are in a happy place at the moment and look at where improvements could be made to other classes...perhaps take a look at vanguard tanking atm. And congrats on the hm kill - as most guilds with any capability cleared when they were in 63's Good day to you!

Math lacking common sense doesn't prove anything. I'm glad you can figure out with your charts and with pen and paper what should be going on, but can't actually get down any content. Yet the competent groups out there are the ones downing the content with shadow tanks. Side note from a healer: Shadow tanks are a joke to heal in the new content...always have been, probably always will be. Unless you are dealing with an incompetent one that cries about everything instead of just doing. Maybe the wiping has nothing to do with the TERRIFYING spikiness you speak of (that I'm sure other tanks don't have to deal with in NiM content lol) but perhaps has to do with your competencies (but nvm, you have made it so on paper) or the competencies of your healers and their abilities to deal with that type of situation. NEVER!! it could NEVER be that!

Honestly - stop complaining And no this isn't an "oh look at me I can heal it" post....this is a stop friggin complaining post. None of the FP's are difficult to heal under-geared/well-geared/over-geared..whatever...does your gear help? of course...but your skill and common sense are more helpful to you. So I'm sorry - but either you are lacking in some way, your tank is lacking in some way, your dps are smashing face into a wall somewhere and not killing things in a timely manner or some combination of the three. How do we know this? Because an entire group of under-geared individuals can go into any of those FPs and down it no problem...why? because they use their damn heads!.

Can I have your babies? Side Note: I am Cae's healer in Ops..and can say without hesitation that he is a healer's dream. So listen up and pay attention! When building your tank - stop listening to the babbling about what looks correct on a graph and listen to someone that can actually get down the content and not make it a nightmare! P.S. Full Auto is a terrible skill!

Perhaps If you were not such a complaining tool - you would have acquired a group of friends to run you through FPs...SLOWLY.

Hey Bastion! I thought I would give a little update to this post since we have received many applications over the last few weeks. We are no longer recruiting, as we have a full team of Ops members. I know some were curious if we could just bump it to 16 man content or form two 8 man Ops, to create more spots. We enjoy the challenge of he 8 man content and unless something changes - we will stay 8 man. Having two 8 man ops may happen at some point, but as of right now most of us have lives outside of the game and are lucky to make it on for our one raid team schedule. Thanks all for your applications! You can still contact us anytime if you are interested in joining and we keep everyone on our friends lists for when we have open spots on random Ops nights. Stay Classy Bastion!

Did this post really just happen? Seriously - if this was a moment in your life that you are having a hard time getting over...you are going to have a rough life. lol Perhaps if people playing this game spent as much time actually learning how to play their toons, instead of pondering the unfairness in life when they can't name their toons with such awesomeness as "Bane"...the swtor world would be a better one. But *two thumbs up* for providing my early morning entertainment.

Grats and good luck on Kephess! He is a ton of fun lol.

I don't think anyone was trying to discredit anyone else's guild. I was simply responding to the post previous to mine where there was some confusion perhaps about why world rankings were different from server rankings. *Gold Star* for everyone that has downed the content. Rankings (most of the time) mean nothing more than congratulations your guild was able to get their group together and work on things where as perhaps some other guilds have to wait periods of time before they can attempt some content due to members being away, people having lives, etc. So at no time was anyone not trying to give you full credit for your accomplishment. Congratulations ..to you..and your guild. Similarily, we had bosses 1-3 down the first night and then had a terrible time getting groups together for working on kephess. People having family stuff for Thanksgiving, main tank being away at work, just not enough time in general to really work on it. So I feel your pain.

Potato did get it before us (Never Tell Us the Odds). I think they are referring to the world ranking which gives each guild a rating based on how quickly each boss was accomplished. In that case I think the post was right as NTUO was 15 and Potato was 19 ( I haven't checked it in a while though so that may have to be double checked). In terms of server ranking..I believe we were 4th overall and 1st on Pub side. Hope this helps.

You're right - I gave you more credit than was deserved. Thank you for calling me on that. Perhaps now you can move on to downing the more recent content. As for the "Why are you so nasty?" comment that was added in after.. - This is me being nice. You are training the next generation of vanguards to be like you. As a healer..I find this irritating because I'm going to be stuck healing some tank that can function well on paper but not actually in an Ops.

Well color me embarrassed! A server first on EC HM? That's impressive...considering a tank (Justcae) with a mix of "just turned lvl 50" blues and a few Columi pieces can tank that without a problem. *Golf Clap*. AND!! a BS in mathematics and stats...well hell. I'm not sure a more qualified person even exists to comment on the forums any longer aside from you. Did they teach you how to interpret graphs with that fancy education of yours?

I'm trying to understand exactly what makes you believe that you are even qualified to provide advice here and shoot off your illogical trap. See how it was nice of Justcae and _gideon to provide advice based on their knowledge of tanking - as they have both tanked end-game content (Justcae 8man EC NiM and gideon 16 man TFB HM ), both capable of offering advice based on common sense and successful Ops experience. All we know of you is that you are incapable of graph interpretation, reading comprehension, and from what I see (and could be wrong) not very successful Ops experience. But grats on clearing HM denova and working on TFB.

Yo Bastion Peeps! Just an update: We took a couple weeks off to give our core progression ops team a break from Kephess ..but we are going back in this week. We had EC NiM 1-3 down the first day of the 1.5 release. We have a great group of players, just in need of some competent, dedicated dps'rs. We only raid a couple nights a week for a couple hours max, as we all have lives outside of this game . When we do raid we get down to business. If you are interested please feel free to contact us in game or theodds.guildlaunch.com. Happy Gaming!

Welcome to being a healer. Suck it up buttercup. Tanks I'm sure have their issues with what healers and dps do. DPS I'm sure have their issues with what tanks and healers do. Oh well. Deal with it. Your job is to heal. Look at it this way - it will make you a better healer if you can handle the crappy situations without leaving and complaining. If you never learn how to deal with the "oh sht" situations - you won't be very useful in a raid. And yes - this is coming from a healer.

If only there WAS a way to get lvl 61 gear without ever stepping foot into an Ops....wait...wait.. *smacks head* ...gosh darnit!...There IS a way. ... Go run some FPs muffin. And yes...it is time consuming...those of us that have the gear have put time into it. Welcome to the world of mmo's Just because you don't want to spend the same time and effort to get it..doesn't mean we should change the rules for you. And no...you don't need AT LEAST rakata for EC and AT LEAST campaign for TFB if you have a capable group of people. What you do need to have - is the ability to understand the strat, follow instructions, and have raid awareness...and given your astounding understanding of the gearing out process ...I think that may an issue for you. Go play Pong.

Hey SWTOR peeps!. I just wanted to throw a post up and let you guys know that we are no longer actively recruiting. We continue to get many awesome applications but unfortunately have no more spots to fill . We are a smaller guild and try our best to keep it that way for our guildies. However, if you are still interested - do not hesitate to apply or contact us in game because we will keep you in mind if/when a spot opens up. Stay Classy Bastion.

Actually sage bubble absorbs between 4000-4500. Unless you have built your sage so horribly that it should have an extra chromosome. If you want to start throwing numbers out - make sure they are accurate.

Did this post really happen? ...or did I just have a stroke...
