CthulhuRyleh Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Just curious if there are any serious requirements for SM ops. I recall seeing that SM EV is easy enough but I imagine that running in wearing green quality gear will get you killed. I just want to know to what extend I just plan on gearing out my guy to just to try to run it. I have a PT who I want to tank with, although still missing a few pieces of tank gear to fill out my ensemble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Never_Hesitate Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 as ev dropped t1 pre 2.0 it should be doable with leveling gear, but to be sure. run a few hc fps and get some t4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atramar Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 (edited) level 49 blues should be enouth as they have better stats as recruit, which was minimum to run EV/KP on other hand, EC sm, even if nerfed to the ground, still require some knowledge of mechanics so you know... you won't kill every one. on that note, I did EC sm other night as a healer, and it was silly easy.

CthulhuRyleh Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 Oh that's good! My tank currently has two pieces that he got from classic commendations and am replacing everything with blues for tanking. By the sounds of it that should suffice.

By the sounds of it that should suffice. just make sure you have Endurance armorings (I mean more endu then aim ones), enhancments with shield/absorb (hard to tell should they be more tank stats or endurance, I'd suggest max shield and absorb (but I can be wrong, at SM more endurance might be proven better), less worrying about enudrance at story mode), and atleast try to get some Augments, shield or absorb or def chance. in worst case, I guess endu/power will be better then nothing.

Are the requirements for 50 HM FP less or more than SM ops? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memo- Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 This kinda brings up another question actually. Are the requirements for 50 HM FP less or more than SM ops? Less. The original HM Flashpoints (bar KUS and LI) were meant as a means to get the gear to be able to complete SM EV & KP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CthulhuRyleh Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 Less. The original HM Flashpoints (bar KUS and LI) were meant as a means to get the gear to be able to complete SM EV & KP. So best place to start would be running HM Black talon for my PT? Wow I don't think I ever said that out loud........it just makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow I don't think I ever said that out loud........it just makes sense. just go group finder for random HM (don't forget the daily) and after 3-4 runs you should be up good for SM ops. note, it might be hard on you if you get Kaon or LI, but you can always either leave, or ask to get kicked if healer don't want the challenge, you will get next pop soon enouth.
