I am new to the whole MMO thing. This is my first and I have mostly had a blast. I am trying to get my Sith Warrior Juggernaut through the last boss on Spirit of Vengeance. He is level 75 with 288 gear. I have my comp set to heal. I get through everything, although the second boss took 5 tries, but I cannot get past the last mob on the last boss . If I focus on the sharpshooters, the heavy shooters kill my comp. If I focus on the heavy shooters, the sharpshooters kill me. I tried it at least 10 times last night and rage-quit out of the flashpoint I was so frustrated. I will probably have to do the whole thing again. I read more posts today. One says that I should focus my comp and myself on the sharpshooters first. How do you keep the heavy shooters from running up behind you and killing you while you try to deal with the sharpshooters? There is other advice that says kill the mobs at the door, but that gets me and/or my comp killed by the sharpshooters.
I admit I am not very good with fight mechanics, or situational awareness. But I really love the story and would like to see the finish. I will try to control my poor comp so he doesn't get murdered, hopefully without getting dead, maybe bring him up some levels if he really is level 1 and hopefully that helps. Any other tips/tricks would be greatly appreciated. Love this game and love all the great help from other players.
Follow-up: I just completed the FP. Not quite sure why it worked this time. More situation awareness, moving around and strategic use of the healing points, more pulling my comp to me to attack my target rather than stand in the middle of the heavy mob and get murdered, more focus on clearing the lower level mobs first and using AoE, stun and every shield skill I had as soon as it popped. Seems I reached a critical point after I killed a few of the mobs where Rass can keep up the healing and then it is just clean-up. Many thanks for all the advice. I used it all and didn't die once. Woohoo!
