epicfear Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 well, a companion is more attentive than many healers, and never runs out of mana. but still, he is nothing compared to an actual healer player. aside from that, i am legitimately impressed. you have earned a jawa with sunglasses. wear it proudly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khevar Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 companion = not solo. That geared companion is better than most pug healers. Are you saying this just to take a c**p on an awesome accomplishment? Anyway, kudos to the OP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshlaBoga Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 (edited) I thought soloing the Ancient One on Taris (level 38 World Boss) was a decent fight. But I can't imagine putting 3 hours into it! Geez you really wanted to see if it was possible. K I'm going to go try to solo some stuff now (probably HM BT) you've inspired me:D Edited July 27, 2012 by AshlaBoga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurojiin Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 you duo'd it with a pet soloing it would have been really impressive. Yes, it would have been very impressive, seeing as it's mathematically impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaori Posted July 28, 2012 Author Share Posted July 28, 2012 Is Lost Island stricken from the list? I'd assume any of those, especially Lorrick and Droid boss would be terrible. I think LI will be a while down the track.. hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossman Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Very impressive. I just started a sentinel but after watching that im tempted to put that on hold and roll an assassin lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griad Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Very nicely done and awesome that u took the time to make the video. Killing malgus i would wear full dps gear and get him down before he enranges, that is very possible. i think that mentor fight in D7 will be a hard fight to solo aswell because of all the AOE damage that the companion will take and most likely die. Kudos to op for a job well done and for taking the time to make the video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kudos to op for a job well done and for taking the time to make the video The Mentor Droids? I've already solod them but didn't bother making a video cause they didn't even hit enrage and I sat 90%+ HP for the whole fight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lightSaberAddiCt Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Not to rain on parade, but this is exactly the reason why shadow/assassin was nerfed. If you are able to solo a HM LE then the class is overpowered and deserved the nerf. But still grats on the victory... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snakeyees Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 you used a companion i would not call that solo. But congratulations anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solar_Breeze Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 you used a companion i would not call that solo. But congratulations anyway. My view would be companions are part of the class abilities. Grats on the achievement, nice to see some other skilled assassins around. I would guess final boss in KUS might be possible solo as a next attempt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrumpytheClown Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 (edited) I think congratulations are premature. Where was the whole instance? There were LOTS of mobs to take on, and the bonus boss, what about it? Show the whole thing next time. If it is three hours long, but honest it is worth the watch. Otherwise I don't believe it. You also cannot prove you were NOT using a hack of some kind. Edited August 2, 2012 by FrumpytheClown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He already said that he a had a healer take him up to Malgus. You need to go back and read the OPs comments. He never claimed he soloed the entire FP. In fact, he stated outright that he only soloed MALGUS. As for using a hack of some kind, I would have noticed in the video if he was hacking.

Siorac Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Congratulations, excellent achievement. The fact that it's possible shows that Bioware did a great disservice to poor Malgus. There are plenty of mob pulls in FE that are more difficult than Darth Malgus, who is supposed to be a bad*ss Sith Lord but hits like the Little Mermaid would, especially in the "solo phases". Buff Darth Malgus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Socialist Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I knew it was only a matter of time before people started solo'ing HMs Brilliant work, really! Unfortunately I do know that this is only doable in a sturdy tank (enrage is a *****), and while I do have a 50 Guardian he is still woefully undergeared (and Guardians ain't exactly the best tanks). Still, I'll gear the bastard and give it a shot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buff Darth Malgus! Well, the whole False Emperor is a disservice to Malgus. I mean, he has got hefty amounts of lore under his shoulder, he should be worthy of some huge questline ending in an Operation harder than licking your own elbow Like Revan for that matter.

thomasmeadows Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I always knew it was possible, Especially with all the +presence available now. You can get your companion to 30k HP easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revan-the-knight Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Its funny because Bioware said tha Hardmodes were soloable at the guild summit if you geared yourself and your companions up enough and spent enough time gathering presence and getting legacy powers, clearly they were right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMCH Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Its funny because Bioware said tha Hardmodes were soloable at the guild summit if you geared yourself and your companions up enough and spent enough time gathering presence and getting legacy powers, clearly they were right Depends on the class/spec you play I think, a tank will have an easier time as a healer with a tank companion (the latter being so much less resilient than a real tank...), but with all the possible boosts you're not really on the same level as a fresh 50. As for the "Healer companions are crap", I'd agree with those few stating he's better than many "healers", just like a DPS companion sometimes does better than real players not playing right (Rakata/BH tank juggernaut and DPS sorc, Tionese+ level marauder and me as a healer, we would've hit enrage on ALL bosses if I hadn't dealt damage... in HM Black Talon. Bonus droid enraged at ~15% without me doing damage, killed the tank and the sorc in the same second at around 5% and fell in parts shortly after) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ekimmak Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I always knew it was possible, Especially with all the +presence available now. You can get your companion to 30k HP easy. According to his character builde, he only has 5 companion bonuses and the human bonus. I'd love to see what he can do with all the companion bonuses. Incidentally, I tried to solo The Foundry, but HK-47 shut me down pretty hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProKsnNwk Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Very impressive. I just started a sentinel but after watching that im tempted to put that on hold and roll an assassin lol Your another one of these people who only plays OP class, aren't you?! Just stick to your Sentinel it's more OP than Shadow, you can choose beetwen 3 Skill Trees, while Shadow/Assasin is almost forced to play only that Shadow/Assasin Tank (Tank DPS)!!! Because all other Skill Trees suck for both PVP and PVE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProKsnNwk Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Assassins got a nerf last patch Yes, true. If thet still gonna nerf it, then Shadow/Assasin are both ****** over. Since the others Skill Trees are NO GO for both PVP and PVE, cause your out of Force in a instant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
