alexkman Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Any other infiltration specced shadows having trouble using nadia as a companion? i can't even beat her story quest where you have to kill stark because both of us are so squishy. if she's a shadow, why doesnt she have a tank stance?

r_duckie Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I did this quite easily on my infil shadow tbh. The trick is to use Force cloak as soon as the fight starts, then CC Stark with mind maze, take out the adds, then pound on Stark dp style.

alexkman Posted January 26, 2012 Author Share Posted January 26, 2012 already got the adds no problem. i send nadia to attack first so she gets the aggro but once he turns to fight me i die so fast. he has some sort of health regeneration that i can't overcome. i'm level 45. what level were you when you did it?

r_duckie Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I think I was 44 when I did it as I ding'd right before i got to him. I just stim'd (WP) up and went at him with my normal rotation (at the time) and whittled him down. Healed myself when I hit 50% hp and then used the Channel The Force for the regen. Basically just keep interrupting him when he does his more powerful moves with all three skills (low slash, mind snap, mind crush). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinnyFox Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Is he an elite? Typically you'll want to be in Combat Technique against elites and aboves, for the extra survivability. Bringing some medpacks wouldn't hurt, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeTrippleThree Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 (edited) I had a hard time with Stark as kinetic combat, I don't know if that's bad or whatever but interrupted and tried to avoid stuff as much as I could. This was for me the hardest fight in the entire consular story line. A if she's a shadow, why doesnt she have a tank stance? Companions tend to have their own little class, a little bit of this and that ... Edited January 27, 2012 by MeTrippleThree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KilmarFyrewynd Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 (edited) Stark took me 6 tries. First try, I killed both adds easily while Stark pounded me. The next 4 tries was me being stubborn trying to kill him normally. I was able to finally kill him by interrupting him as often as possible while he casts those damaging spells and to stun him as much as possible. I finally killed him with 9% health left and that was with an endurance stim from the vendor in the beginning of the map. At level 45 in Voss and I still have a hard time staying alive with Nadia as my companion even with 75% of her gear upgraded. I've resorted to using Tharan for healing duty and pull Nadia out when I am going to talk to someone in order to gain affection points with her.

deathraptor Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 When I did this class quest I used Theran made it a lot easier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your own character also has the tank stance. You can turn it on and take some beating in that one fight -- it doesn't need to be specced to provide the base armour/shield chance buff, and Nadia won't tell anyone.

Whatsalightsaver Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I'm sorry, what? Stark has adds? Where are they? I thought his damage was a little over the top, you telling me I killed him with adds up? I have pretty high raid awareness and I saw no adds. Is it possible I had a bug and didn't get any? We *are* talking about the boss with an interrupt able self heal and the multi-force projects? It is indeed tough to kill him with Nadia but I'm not sure you really have to. I'm kind of obsessive about storyline and how it "should" be done, so I used her anyways. Easily the hardest of the class quests imo with most of them being faceroll and him being blatantly overpowered. Maybe it was the adds...*shakes his fist* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sevensevenofour Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Can't remember any adds in that fight, too. But granted that was a while ago so maybe they were just easy enough they weren't memorable. The only ones i do remember are two strong ones which get invoked by Freddie Mercury during the Belsavis storyline... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celawien Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Use Nadia to start the quest, then switch over to Theran. Works so easy this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishybob Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 it's just too bad nadia is awful for shadows. I hate our companions. I just used a friend who was 40, but had a healer. tharan + other heels = easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
