Darth_Victus Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 So the guild and I have been doing EC lately, already cleared it once. But since the last patch (not todays) there has been a timing issue with Stormcaller casting double destruction at the same time they are supposed to go into defensive stance or what ever. Resulting in an immediate blue bubble on top of the Stormcaller group. Anyone else having this issue or is this an isolated issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sang Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 This has happened before and is solely caused by lack of DPS. In story mode, it is possible to live through double destructive on two DPS while moving to defensive systems. In hard mode however, it is near impossible unless you have an operative healer who can heal while moving and the DPS use a cooldown or two to help mitigate the damage. If you increase your damage output, you should only get one double destructive phase in-between defensive system phases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of our DPS are in Rakata, but alot of our hard hitters are on Flamebrand, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurojiin Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 (edited) If you have trouble beating the second Double Destruction, a simple solution is to put three DPS on Stormcaller until you hit 20% (and trigger the final Defensive Systems), then move two over to Firebrand (you'll need to leave one behind with a healer to keep taking DD). You can push the Defensive Systems with Firebrand as well, but having to put five people under a shield isn't going to work out so well Edited May 31, 2012 by Aurojiin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want to refute the whole "near impossible" thing if you get two DD's in HM. Yeah, it's not ideal, but with a good healer and an intelligent tank, it can be done. That said, you are right: it is caused by a lack of DPS. Up the DPS and this issue vanishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pure_laced Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Thanks for the input. Most of our DPS are in Rakata, but alot of our hard hitters are on Flamebrand, It is shared HP average, doesn't matter if you have everyone on Firebrand, it is still a lack of dps if you are getting the 2nd DD right before Defensive.

RichyYoung Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Yups dps more and always ASSUME a blue bubble will appear on the stormcaller tank BEFORE defensive systems after the half way mark. After a couble destruction which i do call outs for the guild on voice any way i call out GET off the tank if at any point a early blue bubble appears on the tank. then we all cain off it super quick and under the sheild which will be there by the time we get there. down guys super quick and back on tank.. Really the two guys under sheild are underesitmated when dpsing in this fight you can really cut some time off the enrage by single killing these guys faster..

Flying-Brian Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 We ran into this issue last night running a few new people through the fight and it drove us crazy. We tried doing different amounts of extra DPS to stormcaller before the 1st defensive systems (it was between 3%-15% lower then firebrand each time), and it would always drop the lighting spire on top of stormcaller before the shields went down. Ended up resetting the instance, and it for the most part went away (it only happened once again, around the middle of the fight), and we cleared it on that try. Our DPS seemed like it was right where it should be, as we did not hit the enrage timer and firebrand was at 5% left when stormcaller went down. I would like to avoid this happening again. Any idea on what to watch out for? What should the timing be for the 2nd double destruction before defensive systems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
