With no change to NiM DG this week (I assume this as there was no mention on the patch notes), it gives Death and Taxes and other guilds who gave up and skipped an opportunity at redemption. I have made comments earlier disparaging Death and Taxes for their decision to skip. But the truth is, I respect them and know they are hella pro. I think I was just disappointed that such a storied guild gave up so quickly. It is understandable though given the confidence level of the members of that guild and raid team. They know by now what to expect in a fight and determined that there was something wrong. Indeed, it seems evident that the fight is overtuned but who knows for sure. Anyway, GL to D&T this week. Now that "impossible" DG NiM and the rest of NiM TfB has been cleared by DiLiH and Suckafish, hopefully that will be incentive and encouragement for others, including D&T to get back in there and down them. Right now, DiLiH and Suckafish stand alone at the top of the pyramid. This week is an opportunity for others to step up and show they belong up there with them. Good luck to all!

I think it is great that there is no nerf to the DG fight. This gives all those guilds who gave up and quit the fight because it was too hard or "impossible" to go back this week and redeem themselves by beating DG like DiLiH and Suckafish did. I don't think there is any question that some guilds who skipped are indeed, very pro. So this is a chance to shut everyone up and prove it. GL to all who have the stones to go back and kill DG NiM while it is still "impossible".

Grats Suckafish!

RNG is RNG. I have gotten plenty of TR's in a consistent manner over the last few weeks. Not now nor never was bugged.

OMG! Thank you so much!!! I am an idiot sometimes. Just happy I can get my sub max toons crafting. Awesome!

Been trying to get an answer from this guy about how he learned the Aug 28 Schem at level 50 when all my Schems say "Requires Level 55". How do you get the Purple Augment 28 paterns at level 50?!? Please help cuz I have a bunch of crafting alts that I don't want to level all the way to max.

On The Bastion I have seen Advance Patron Barrel 26 for sale on gtn. It can and has been done. Now if someone would make the Reflex 26 version, I would pay any price for two of those

This^^^ All absolutely correct. Is op saying he should GET 340 mission discoveries from running 340 slicing mission discoveries? Uh... No. Just.... No. LOL!

Thanks for the advice. We will give it a shot. Also curious if you dps both equally till dead or if you shift all dps to Jarg at 40% or so?

Our tanks were both Juggs. Worried about tank swaps cuz taunts are at a premium already with carbonized phase and such. Plus the debuff seems to come very frequently, so we'd be swapping constantly and burning taunts.

Can anyone help me out with a strat for this fight? We are having problems with our Jugg tank on Jarg taking massive damage after getting the fire damage debuff. Do we need to do a tank switch after the debuff? Any tips, tricks, advice is greatly appreciated.

The bug you just described with missions just disappearing has been present since 1.3 launched. Please fix this BW. Thank you and good day.

Lol! ^^^

The sad thing is, you SHOULD be able to send multiple pets on the same 340 mission at the same time according to the 1.2 patch notes. Yes, I said ONE-POINT-TWO! This has been broken for a LONG time.

Same problem as OP. Queue as dps. Always get put in group as heals. Makes LFG unusable unless queuing as a fully formed group. Sorry bout the general chat spam guys, but it is the only way to effectively employ the LFG tool at this time. Spam for group, form group, queue for fp, collect comms upon completion. Same process for use with SM ops, except even this method does not always work as, often times, the LFG will queue a tank as dps and we get the error of not having proper group comp. Ironic actually, since it requires you have two tanks, even though only one is necessary in EV, but when you have two tanks, it bugs and changes one to dps and won't let you start the instance. LOL!

Sounds about right. I run four accounts at once, so 12 aug mat missions concurrently. I crit for purples at least once per iteration.

My guild has yet to clear HM EC. The new augments and black hole gear may help, but I tend to think skill and coordination are most important to raiding success. Execution trumps gear IMO. I could care less what someone is wearing when I see them. But if they are flossin a Nightscythe and have Infernal or Unyielding after their name, then I'm like, "oh damn!" Respect is there. That is where the status is, not the gear. Those symbols of success are what I and my guildies are striving for. I see a Warhero geared dude on fleet and think, "Meh, so he trudged slowly up a mountain. Big whoop." But I see a black speeder and it's, "Wow! That dude bashed down a wall, kicked in a door and went howling through!" So hardcore raiders, be proud of your accomplishments and care not what gear others can get.

Formed a group of 6 guildies. Queued through LFG for SM OPs. Got two dps when we needed one dps and one healer. Had all kinds of problems with group members not being able to properly select their role. LFG kept switching dps to heals. Gave up and disbanded. Reformed group and spammed general for one healer one dps. Got them and formed a full 8 man group before queuing through LFG. We get put in a KP and everyone in the raid is showing up as heals. Huh? Whatever, our group composition was correct despite what LFG says so we drive on. Crushed KP no problem but upon killing Karaga, only some of us got BH comms. Gonna try again forming full guild group and queuing through LFG for SM EV. Will make sure everyone has correct settings in LFG before any invites are sent and see if that helps cuz it was buggy as hell the first time.

IIRC there is no specific mention of this problem in the 1.3 pts patch notes. The 1.2 patch notes still say you can send multiple companions out on a specific crew mission as long as you have multiple copies of the mission in your inventory. 1.2 patch notes FFS!!!!! Maybe BW doesn't even know this is still broken?!? I run a lot of 340 missions and it sucks that right now it takes TEN hours to do what should only take two hours ACCORDING TO THE OFFICIAL PATCH NOTES. Please fix this devs! Just to elaborate and provide a relevant example. Right now everyone is fired up about augments and augment kits. I would love to be able to send 5 companions out on 340 slicing missions AT THE SAME TIME, say, before I go to bed, and wake up to 20 of the purple mats for augments. Instead I have to check back every 2 hours for 10 hours to get the same result. It might be ok if it was intended to work that way, but according to the patch notes, I should be able to do the former. That's what is frustrating.

This is still broken. Patch notes still state you CAN send companions on multiple missions. Please fix this BW
