imo 2.3k or 2.4k dps over the course of the fight is excellent and more than enough parses much higher than that are dubious. They would almost require underperformance from other DPS on team or only 2 kephi.

It's hard to tell since there are no patch notes for raptus in 2.7 2.8 2.9 or 2.10. I will say that there are a lot of desperate nerds in this thread e-thumping their chest about being able to kite raptus in 1.5s instead 2.0s like it matters 1 way or the other

seems to me the bestia dps checks are easier now

what is HC?

Ha ha ha

Oh! Lol Sorry here was our first clear

Sure! Here you go,

Thanks! Gate Crasher was an itch we had been meaning to scratch for a while. We'll be rooting for you on council!

Mal, We've beaten NiM council multiple times now and not used the buff. I'm sorry you're still hurting from UWAT having to cut you. It was a really tough choice but with every post you make of this sort, you are proving that we made the right decision.

It sounds like you're in an extremely ****** guild and should find one better. You deserve it!

Was channel surfing the threads and saw this... this post was a real internet stuffing. I was wondering if the victim was gonna get mad and post desperately trying to regain some dignity or just scurry away tail between legs. Guess we found out

This tuff burn. When we kill stryak, brontes is around 65%. Then our dps drops off as fingers start appearing and we don't get it done. We have one of our healers full time DPSIng in phase 2. We run 2 melee and 2 snipers. Any advice?

SO is it a tougher fight to learn than brontes? and is there a guide for this fight written up somewhere?

How does the difficulty of NM council compare to NM brontes pre nerf?

I would say guilds that weren't able to get the title in the 2+ month window of 2.7-2.8 definitely do not ever deserve the title but they should have some way of turning on nightmare power to enjoy the challenge. The reverse gear bolster doesn't make any sense. NM isn't just about the gearing its about figuring it out. And 6 months of the reverse bolster is a lot easier than what happened. Real talk Pal. let me do you a favor and give you situation check: In your specific case it sounds to me like your DPS in particular and maybe your entire ops team is just not NM caliber players. If you're making excuses about not having enough gear from NM DF to do NM DP before it expires now it's really not the gear. Its your players ability to competently click the buttons. I mean what is the excuse here "Guys we just don't' have enough 186 chest armorings to get it done durrrrrrr". And if it's more than chest armorings you guys are missing because your were failing before Brontes then I mean you really really don't have what it takes NM DF was not too difficult before that boss. Maybe you're good and your teammates are awful but it sounds like you'd probably have to be awful too to not have figured out that your teammates are awful.

It doesn't need to be a big explosion just enough to take out a room inter-instance if I know the other Ops team is on a specific boss. I can work with as small as 45 meter blast radius. I want to take them all out not just part of their team.

P.S. It's ok if the explosion has to have some back explosion that takes out a few on imp fleet. I suppose for each reaction there has to be some opposite reaction. Just make sure bomb has a fuse.

I want to be able to put a bomb in the imperial fleet center that blows up a bunch of people on the republic fleet. I think this would add excitement. make it happen!

I'm sorry things didn't work out :/ theres 2 sides to every story and I think in general UWAT sees what happened a little differently but mostly we just feel bad it didn't work out. Sorry mal

anybody who doesn't have their dps pull aggro from time to time is playing with mediocre dps that aren't mashing adrenals and stuff. Now granted almost all of you are mediocre so theres that. A real good powertech tank rotation will be around 1200 and healing will add on to give you maybe 3700 threat. Thats pretty easy for top notch dps to out do in the situations where you'll be able to do 1200. That said If I really need to get aggro I usually can by taunting waiting 6 seconds using my other taunt then waiting another 2 or so seconds and taunting again. All the while mashing my best threat abilities but its not something I can do more than once every few minutes.

chained phase is an ops dummy... and it's only asking for a short burst parse average of 2250 from the group.

sure thats no hard thing. I reckon the toughest DPS check in current content is NM SNV chained phase. That's about 360,000 required damage over 20 seconds (with a couple knocks). Requires about 2250 of burst from the raid group average. Most tanks/heals can burst up past 1500 which means the DPS won't have to hit 3000. Another example of a tough dps check would be the Hateful Entity which over the course of the fight only asks for 2200 or so out of the DPS (though due to his mechanic that will have to be backloaded rather than even) with no help from the rest of the raid on damage.

There is no way NM DF will require 3500 from the DPS. Nor is it vaguely correct to suggest HM DP DF or even NM SNV require 3000. The people suggesting this appear more or less clueless of what actual DPS numbers are. Yep you are wrong enough to appear a noob for suggesting it.

Fan here! I respect your guys work!

queue lots of lames making lots of comments without talking about up close and personal putting the powertech's passive mitigation MUCH MUCH higher than any of the other tanks on most fights.
