CLGB Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Hi All, Thanks in advance for your help. I was at the last boss in Athiss and I could not get it done. I am not sure if I was doing something mechanically wrong in the fight? We got down the de-buff but the bust vs my ammo recharge seemed to be an issue. He would apply that life drain on the party and I would have to heal them up to full so they did not die if they got it again. And my ammo regen would not be there to support it. I just wanted to get feedback from the community if anyone else had issues with that or suggestions for the fight from our point of view. Thanks!

Aaoogaa Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 (edited) Go into the fight with 30/30 charges. Watch for the cast and supercharge then drop the 10% damage reduction on the group with kolto bomb. Use advanced to heal (since at this level it does not trigger the reduction for med probe) and drop kolto bomb again before the effect expires to continue the 10% reduction in damage taken. When the flames come out make sure people are not being stupid and getting hit. Use hammer shot to heal during this phase to build up your charges again and rinse repeat. Your ammo should regen to full and you should not have issues. Edited December 18, 2011 by Aaoogaa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsparky Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Hmm I just healed this fight with no problem. Our party's main healer was killed early on and I was forced to pick up the primary healing for the 3 of us left. I think the key is to realize that you can't spam your probes. Keep chipping away with hammer shot on your tank, use supercharge whenever it's up and drop some bigger heals when needed. I was able to keep us all alive and tossed in some full autos and charged bolts at the boss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kit_Furso Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 (edited) Were you guys at level (21)? because the numbers of outgoing heals and incoming damage from that debuff just don't seem to add up at that level, while maintaining your ammo.

zykklon Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 This last fight was very difficult to me, keeping the party alive with that debuff was painful. Then i got debuffed, and died. But for my (or the party) luck's there was another commando who take on the healing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Refmo Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Are we talking about the same boss? The guy at the end of Athiss with the 4 fire orbs and the Crushing Affliction "life draining" debuff? The boss himself doesn't do a lot of damage. The only time I actually had to heal was through Crushing Affliction, the debuff. Oh and heal a little from the orbs if people didn't move away from them. From what I can remember, that debuff actually got nerfed since the beta. I did it twice in beta and twice the other day, but didn't rec myself recently. You don't even need a real tank for that guy because he doesn't hit for much. I also think it's interruptible but I've never had a party member try it.

JLapp Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 If you don't out level it the last boss can be very tough. When I first went through it would be taking people down to about 25% of their life when they got hit by it. The only thing special about the fight is avoiding the fireballs and I think you got that part down. Just do what you can to heal and keep your ammo towards the top so it can regen. Don't over react and burn through it since that is just going to hurt you later. Having someone else in the party that can toss out a heal now and then can help as well.

Fsixknight Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 This may sound stupid but ... level to 24, get "Field Aid" from your trainer so you can dispell the life draining buff whenever the boss casts it on someone. Field Aid costs 2 ammo with a 4,5 sec cooldown and makes this fight a lot easier than before level 24. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zykklon Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I was lvl 19. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fsixknight Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I was lvl 19. That's quite painful, doing it as a level 19. (the Athiss quest is level 21) In case you're doing it at such a low level, you could ask if someone else in the group can heal as well. Then you can alternate healing so you can both keep your class resource high to deal with spike damage from the life drain. Also don't forget that the life drain debuff explodes in an AOE at the end. If nobody can dispell it, the person affected should move away from the group until it pops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fsixknight Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Well, at what levels did you guys do that fight and did you do it as a trooper healer? From a healing point of view, that fight is not easy if nobody is high enough level to dispell the debuff. That life drain does a lot of damage and often people don't run away from the rest and thus explode for another 700'ish damage on everyone near them. That's A LOT of damage to heal as a trooper medic before level 27. I found trooper healing in general quite challenging until 27 where I got my 3rd point in that shiny skill that lowers the cost of med probe by 2 after using adv med probe.

Refmo Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I was level 21 on live and beta when I did it. Trooper healer ofc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLapp Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 It was just as hard as any other boss through Cademimu. Tough to say what is really difficult when peoples gear and levels vary so widely when they do the flashpoints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
