This is just amazing You clearly see in the tracker Progenitor has had the same issue earlier in the day? I do know for a fact this has been occurring since Patch Day! We are getting patchwork fixes prone to breaking again and getting worse! If another server experiences the same thing Bioware/EA you will need to rollback the server immediately! To a point before this first occurred i.e I first noticed it on Tuesday after the patch very negelegible however but it was present, More noticeable on Wednesday when I switched characters and got more and more since this date!

Communication is key to success!

Ok this problem truly started on Tuesday Patch day the server was iffy since that day there has been sporadic server lag and noticeable issue with people not able to play from unable to download to unable to login. Last night was bad yes but this is mainly due to the amount of numbers on the server causing server stress! It's a pity this was not noticed on Tuesday like I noticed and had reported, but it was left in this state to continue to affect all our gameplay! We lead busy lives and basically in the time it took for all my Guild to attempt to login last night we had no guild event there was shouting and huge disappointment. Great Work yet again Bioware/EA please keep this up at digging a grave for the game we love and enjoy!

Ok I know this is a dead thread, but just wanted to point out you actually do shield dots and can block them. This was one of the changes in 2.0 which is why in pve shield absorb was more beneficial because you can now shield all forms of damage.

First phase sure is brutal, we have to take our most experienced members only for this particular fight just to progress even these guys fail quite often due to the ADDs. The damage dealt on cores is perfect. The adds are the problem for phase 1 Nightmare and Hardmode. If you get past phase 1 our experienced team will always down Operator iX the actual boss. Personally I think they upped the adds difficulty compared to tfb at level 50. Never was this hard! I know this is slightly off Topic but During Orange and Yellow Phase one of those droids has almost double hitted a tank on the odd occasion when you are forced to tank two of them due to a mechanic in 8m HM They hurt like hell. Well stated tanks 37k-39k health with balanced tank stats 37 k 69 gear around the 20% 40 37% margin , are struggling and the two healers to boot are expending too much power to keep them up during those colour phases but those two big droids hit worse than the actual Boss!!!!! I'd also like to Add 16M there is no problem for phase 1 the add issue only occurs in 8m

Any sane person would not take that bet Immortal Spec Juggernaught myself and neither Maraurder or Juggernaught dps have beat me in guild duels only class to do so is a Sorcerer just.

Powertech and Assassin are not weak both require a strong rotation to manage Heat and Force power to pull that off and your dps rises spam attacks and your dps drops lol make sure you learn the classes before you knock them.

Yeah try and read what i said previously. Too many people rely on healer companions when you should really be learning to allow your tank to take the hits. So the only reason i can see that people still use a healer is because they havent learned to use a tank companion solo.

So no one has found them then??

My main Juggernaught Tank - without a doubt a Dps companion either Vette or Jaese. Vette will perform better if your taking on multiple Gold's because she wont get in AoE's. My Maraurder - without a doubt a Tank companion, why? because it worked so well on my main and you know what it works just as good. Either Broonmark or Lt Pierce- Pierce is better slightly more ranged and AoE's will be placed away from you! Quinn is viable for all but you lack alot of damage using him and will often struggle on higher content solo. Just for those reliants on healers. Yes playing with healer companion wont slow you down as much but w well geared tank soaks damage up too less downtime and for speed the above combination has proven faster then with a healer combo. Tanks do more damage than your Healer Companions and keep agro of you, it also teachs you how to not over threat for 55 HM with a real player Tank...

The Heroic you mentioned is heavily bugged it has nothing to do with the companions. As your facing in the first room companions act on the Gold humanoid and the right Turret. But if a Tank or even Dps companion engage the left Turret they all just stand there. Maybe the issues people are having with companions are simple instance issues not associated with the companions. I Can vouch that my Healer Dps and Tank companions on that Heroic you mentioned all will stop to pick their nose because they dont know what to do with the left turret. It's completely the Left turret i've hot keyed companion attack passive to keys to easily control them while soloing. Click attack on the Gold or right turret. 'Yes Sir' No hesitation. But soon as you get to the left turret that's when you notice a companion AI drop

Has anyone seen these drop or are they in game i've now litterally checked all Mk 1 and Mk2 tank gear and i'm shocked that the gear they give TANKs are so poor in comparison to DPs. Mk1 and 2's give dps armourings....? Higher mainstat than tank stats. We are not dps This combination with B mod's give + 4 Defense/Absorb and +4 Endurance. If you switch to the available tank mods you have +10 Mainstat -4 Endurance -4 Defense/Absorb. Really Dps or Healers do not struggle in finding the right mods and enhancements. My tank still has 66 Enhancements because everything else is a downgrade and he'll lose Tank stats i'm trying to improve them not worsen them. But hey my Healer and DPS have found all the good Mods armourings and Enhancements of of Mk1 and 2's WHY DO YOU HATE TANKS SO MUCH BIOWARE!

There is nothing wrong with this companion, myself and several guild members are Juggernaught/Maraurders. For me a Juggernaught Tank my health will not budge. For a guild Maraurder he can not solo without him. You must be doing something wrong. I have everything turned on including Carbonize which actually helps during fights 8 seconds where a mod isnt fight you . Thats much needed CC in my honest opinion the class lacks when facing alot of Droids. As the previous text said if you are at max range Quinn or any other companion healer will not heal they will hold ground and keep shooting. Move closer or as he said turn to passive to lue your companion closer that particular AI isnt that well but besides this Quinn in range always heals. And i do not have issues with Carbonize.

Ok i have a few 50's now and leveled Tank to 50 twice. Leveled healer to 50 and DPS's to 50. Yes there are Tanking Mods Defense and Absorb ones. Two types of defense mods one low defense one high Defense. But these arent readily obtainable to gear you up ready for 50. Below 30 there are Guardian Mods and Armouring's but they all seem uncraftable. I've had to gear each Tank in DPS gear which for all intense purposes help you to solo. But you are far too squishy as a tank for Heroics whilst leveling. The purchaseable ones are what i have to get and this takes far more time farming planet commendations. Compare this to being able to fully gear up a Healer or DPS in Artifact Mods Armouring and Enhancement to a Tank of the same level you'll start to notice, Why No Tank Mods low level is bad. Now when you get higher This becomes a serious problem. After 30 yes you can then start crafting Guardian Mods and Armouring but you do still lack the additional stat bonus on mods. Enhancements start to help to but this doesnt fix it completely, the good enhancements start at 40+. But you still lack the defense Mods which are in game.(Small example of a 26 mod which gives 41 Defense, lower mods of this type would easily fix gearing up issue's with tanks) Here is why No matter if your Light or a heavy Tank you are so squishy when you turn 50(i have not felt like a tank). Tanks get shouted at for many reasons. Not having the mods to get the defense needed, then you can start to use the New free Tionesse commendations to get the shield and absorb fixed (as much as you can from tionesse modifcations), so you become less squishy and easier to keep up by healers. It's taken me many months to fix stat inbalance, i origionally geared up tank before Tionesse commendations were given freely. I'm not even full Black Hole and my stats are perfectly balanced now. 25 50 50 etc. Honestly Tank Modifcations and Armouring need to be readily available to craft because it really does create an inbalance between dps/healer to Tank classes who can get balanced stats as they level. For healers who can readily stack power like DPS can for bigger heals and more damage. I've seen non tionesse geared dps and healers do better than a brand new tionesse Tank. They don't normally have better skills but they can function alot better. Because there mods amouring and enhancements start really low.
