DanturTK Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Does using 3 tanks reduce the damage taken further? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZentheSecond Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Nope, a SM run revealed this a while back. Nefra targets the two closest for the damage splitting, and in SM you get an icon around your character as one of our marauders learned the hard way after avoiding a droid and wandering in front of Nefra. These icons are not present in HM but the functionality remains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rasen Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I don't know if you are having issues with him or were just curious, but if you are having issues you can use three healers(2 healers and an off healer) to fight him. Makes it so much easier and as long as the dps do their stuff you'll be fine. He goes down quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanturTK Posted January 16, 2014 Author Share Posted January 16, 2014 Nah no issues, just curious how the mechanic worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BladeBoques Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 We love changing up composition for odd solutions to bosses too and considered this. While we never tried it, we estimated it would probably be possible to have a triangle taunt move keeping Nefra moving a lot. However, without actually seeing it we don't know the repercussions of that change. If you try it I'd love to hear from you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbfhl Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 My group only managed to take down HM EC boss 2 with 3 tanks, 3 healers and 2 dps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deluxe_ Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 You're better off 3-healing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falver Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Does using 3 tanks reduce the damage taken further? Having three will not split the damage between them, but, having three does allow for more defensive cooldowns in the duration of the fight. Unless this is 16-man though, I really don't recommend that you play with your group composition that like. Tanks use defensives intelligently, DPS kill it as quickly as possible to not strain the healers, healers... well, heal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceades_End_Game Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Our second tank was late this thursday for our 16man Alt run. We had 2 Marauders rotate as the second tank. Actually wasn't bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
