We know that isnt how taunt works. While the boss is certainly clearable in its current state it is still a buggy mess in the first phase. I personally have had the boss be targeting me and give stacks to a dps. I also ended up getting so frustrated with how threat was working in the fight that I pulled up raid threat to see what was happening and at one point right after my co-tank had taunted the boss he ended up getting negative raid threat.
Also the frequency of the purple circles atm is kinda stupid. Tanks are even gaining stacks during recursive blast which is quite annoying to deal with. This to my knowledge did not happen pre patch and is most likely cause of these issues was to fix the 9 meter tanking bug.

Thank you Bioware for ruining my teams raid tonight by making one of our players hav to reinstall the entire game... Gonna be honest having this go out at random was one of your dumbest ideas and that includes the beginning of 5.0 rng era.

Honestly there needs be another way to kick someone from a match. was in a game that was 50 to 31 and without a self destructors we would have been winning the match 31-28

I know this is a little late, but this new system is garbage. I have so much crap that ive honestly stopped looting in raids. I only roll on the OEMs, mounts and the CM item that drops from gods bosses. Personally ive never had a problem with master loot and from what im gathering the devs are making this an issue just to have something that they might have to fix latter on. If master loot was such a problem just take it out and allow the simple need greed pass system to stay.

still no need for this window at all. pls remove this ****

this is absolute trash just get rid of it. Honestly instead of focusing on this dumb ****, please focus on fixing your existing bugs or maybe some actual new content.

Is your group able to reach the kell dragon phase before the enrage timer? I honestly dont know if its our group, but we are fully optimized gear and augments wise and we believe that we shouldn't be dying that fast. And yea we save all the dcd's for the phase but no matter what we reach enrage timer, shoots, if only I have a video of it. But going off Dulfy's guide and even all the old comments for the operation, there's a lot of complaints about groups also reaching the enrage timer even though theyre group is fully optimized and shouldn't be reaching the enrage timer either.
Yes the groups i run with are able to kill the boss before enrage.
-
How many chain manifestations is your group getting? If you are getting more than 4 the boss is more than likely enraged. This would cause a massive spike in damage. Also make sure that your group is using dcds for this phase and that the tank/tanks are not getting too many stacks from the dragon.

Lightning is better atm. If u were gonna play mara the spec that most are running in pve is anni. Also double check which guides u are reading cause it sound like u were reading 5.0 info.

The biggest problem in 16 man is the lag with contagion which can easily **** up a pull. If your problem is dps since the boss heals a lot more in 16 man, make sure your tank is maintaining tramma on the boss.

From what i see your dps is low. To make up for that i suggest that you incorporate some of the nim strats (to the ppl that can pull them off) to meet the check. One of these is to hav 2 of your healers stay at home to heal the tanks. The other 2 should be helping dps the tent and aoe heal anyone who is at low health from slams. Dps can also start eating slams with an appropriate dcd.
Sin - aoe dr utility plus force speed or shroud
Sorc - bubble yourself plus aoe dr utilitie plus cloud mind or unnatural pres with dr utility for lighting. For maddness unnatural pres dr plus cloud mind plus aoe dr.
Mara - aoe dr plus cloak of pain or force camo (be sure not to leave camo before the hit) or saber ward or undying rage
Jugg - threatening scream or saber ward plus endure pain
Op - stim boost plus aoe dr plus shield probe.
Sniper - entrench (with 60% dr utility) or evasion (while in cover) plus shield probe. Also make sure u take ballistic dampeners and cover dr utilities. Note there is a much more complex rotation that evolves sniper shield. Sniper shield can replace any of the other dr abilities on this list. In viru since the shield is longer it can be used for 2 slams.
Merc - aoe dr plus energy shield
Vanguard - aoe dr plus energy shield
The tank who is not holding the boss should also be dpsing the tent until spit happens. Another way to increase up time is to put a dot or an ability that doesnt damage right away right before jumping back through the portal to the tent.
-
Also for the tactician's set, the 15% to crit is not to the stat rating (that has diminishing returns). The 15% here goes right to your crit percentage. Example if u hav 30% crit normally, then if u gained a tactical advantage u wud hav 45% crit. This flat buff to crit chance like class buffs.
-
Probably the best guide is the one by jaydenz, who was before she left the game a few weeks ago one of, if not the best pve sin tank in the game.
-
Also your price that you want to buy this item for is very very low. Most sales runs for crests are 500 mil

was there rlly a need to change how gray helix components work. Now they are no longer legacy and go into the currency tab.
-
I dd know that Failure has completed probably impossible. this was done in 16 man.

Had a healer tell me to put my pet away once because it would steal her healing away from the other players.
this was a bug in 4.0 and has since been fixed

Redirected Wrath is actually rlly rlly strong. if u can manage to keep it up and hit wither at just the right time on a single target you can refresh and gain an extra stack until u hit 8 stacks. this gives an extra 20% dr if you can maintain this. with alacrity this becomes easier.
here is a sample of this:
-
So the mara set bonuses are still useless, rip mara 6.0. It's really sad how little thought was put into the mara and jugg set bonuses.
-
So from what ive seen so far with testing:
Sin tank has just gotten better. We were already the preferred tank for pve and we just got a new cd in spike or overload. Of these 2 set bonuses the spike one i found more useful as it make spike a more powerful cd than overload plus the 3% armor rating was useless increase to dr. Tatical items wise generally the dr from wither was the most useful. I can see where shroud for your guarded target is useful. The least useful was the extended shroud as shroud is generally use to cheese mechanics and those rnt longer than shrouds duration.
For dps i can see to viable dps set bonuses. The first one is an option for all dps classes with the 4 piece that increases power bu 25% and reduces armor by 50%. This can be used in any fight where dps dont take a lot of damage. Sins at least unlike jugs and maras hav a 2 piecd set bonus. For this 2 piece u can take the 2% power increase. For fights that u take a lot of damage since sins can guard a fellow raid member the general set bonus that has u do more damage while guarding a target along with the same w piece seems to be the best.
Overall outside of the tank set the generic sets seem to be stronger for pve. The new ability is worthless as it does less damage that a buffed lacerate (which u now take as there is nothing else generally useful in skillful tier). This has to be a lot stronger to even be or proc something in the rotation to even get used.

since u pinged everyone toxic
but i agree

if you pull your weight in these flashpoints you should have no trouble in sm ops. even then there are people who cant clear these flashpoints who can easily get carried in sm ops. HM ops are on a different level and hav much harder dps, hps and mechanic checks then any of these flashpoints.

Steely Spike - Using Spike grants you a 20% damage reduction for 6 seconds.
This is soooooo broken for assissin tanks. I guess ill take it as I main one of those already but this will just add to how strong assassin tanking is atm. As part of the tank spec, spike can be used outside of stealth and has a cool dwon of 20 sec. This is 36 sec of up time if used on cool down over a 2 minute period. Compare this to overcharged saber, a 25% dr increase with a 2 minute cool down and you can see how over powered this becomes. Also since assassins are all about using dcds at the right time to mitigate burst damage, this adds to our arsenal of strong dcds with a short cool down.
but i agree
Reevaluate the difficulty of the Eternal Championship
in Suggestion Box
Posted
So to settle things I decided to do the eternal championship on a lightning sorc to show where the current balance of the content is. I only used a main hand, off hand, implants and tactical (98 gear rating). Some fights were challenging damage wise, but everything was survivable and I was able to kill all 10 bosses. Honestly the hardest part was figuring out how to keep my companion alive. I did have to relearn some mechanics but I don't see where these fights are tuned to be too hard at all.
