jamiemcd Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 hi im playing as a jedi sage level 53 and really struggling to beat this boss fight known as the First Son and im really having a hard time trying to beat him as i am keep getting killed by his one hit kill ability which he uses to make the cave collapse on me and I find this really annoyin, frustrating and pathetic why oh why would the devs think this is a good idea to add this in the game it's not fair i just want to beat the boss. Maybe the devs could just get rid of this power altogether and make it more easyer:mad::mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoloThreat Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 You could also use your intterupt ability, every class that I've played has one... Which is the intended mechanic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Usif Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 This was the first level 50 character I had so it was over two years ago since I beat him BUT, I seem to remember it's about when you time your interupts. Update your gear and your companions, use Heroic Moment, and time your interupts. It's been done by people since launch so I think you must be missing something in the mechanics.

Usif Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 The skill is 'Mind Snap'. Watch which skills he casts that kill you instantly and interupt that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belialle Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 but I'm not really sure what they are which one to use since I have so many abilitys You should take time to read the tooltips for your abilities, even the passives. Just hover over them in your Abilities screen (press "P" to open that). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btmart Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 It's a mechanic of that fight.. you have to interrupt that. They shouldn't remove it, as there are many other fights in the game that require interrupts to accomplish. Learn to use your interrupt. It is your friend.

Kaos_KidSWTOR Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 There's this thing called an Intterupt, it's called Mind Snap. Learn to use it when something is casting a skill... If it's on cooldown use Force Stun or if you have it, Bubble Stun. It's a novel concept... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeLaaNie Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 How did you get to 53 and not know what Mind Snap is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJEmir Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 How did you get to 53 and not know what Mind Snap is? I think people don't relly learn until it's absoloutely needed... Like it is in many harder bosses. Interupts are key to many fights in Ops, Boss fights and even PVP if you can keep track of it in all the mayhem, Interupt the healer for the win LOL. But you can learn a lot as someone said by hovering over each ability and reading the tool tips... I was actually in a flashpoint for the red Reaper and read his tool tip to figure out how to beat him after we had done a few unsuccesful attempts and were running low on time because a patch update maintenance break was coming in an hour. I read the tool tip told my sole other group member and together we beat the flash point. So reading as they say is fundamental RIF LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LydMekk Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 I see this in ALL the frikking groups i participate in: I am the ONLY one interrupting. Ppl should learn to interrupt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can you play a game and not read every single thing there is about your character? This is also why I do not understand people wanting "guides". Everything I need to know about the Consular is right on my screen; are these people saying they can't take ten minutes to just read everything over, comprehend what they read, and then practice it? Really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Usif Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 The value of guides isn't to see what skill does what, check them on Dulfy. They go into the nitty gritty of the spec, the best stat priority, the best skill rotations and lots of neat tips and tricks on how to maximise your class to the fullest. I've been playing the game since launch pretty solid and they still help with little things that I might have missed or subtle reasons why one skill should have priority over another. If you play all 8 AC's and almost all of the AC's within the specs, then these guides are super helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MythallarSWToR Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Watch the castbar. In this case, the oneshot ability has a pretty long cast time, and as a rule of thumb, the longer the cast time, the more powerful the ability is. Of course, you also learn by trial and error: If you notice that one specific ability just killed you, save your interrupts for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MythallarSWToR Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 (edited) Well, it's not like the game is full of oneshot abilities. When you find one, just remember it and act accordingly the next try. Edited October 12, 2022 by MythallarSWToR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casirabit Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 The only time I lost with this mission was the first time (at launch); after that, it was no problem. When people ask for help, I ask them if they are using their interrupt for this ability, and after that, I usually get a Thank You for letting them know about this ability and how to work around it. Most of the missions are simple in the class mission, and this one is not really a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdsAillard Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 1 hour ago, spider-venom said: I'd rather not lose if I can help it. Alas, that's not how life (gaming) works. If you want to avoid losing before even trying, then, look up answers before you fight! Tada! Doesn't sound like a lot of fun to me, but...

The ability name usually gives a hint about what it's doing. If you find something like "Nuke 'em and spread the ashes", you might expect something nasty, while if the ability is called like "Very basic attack", most likely it's not worth interrupting it.

codydmaan Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 If your gonna pvp you need to learn all classes and subclasses to be effective. You can learn 1 class only things ur gonna be the bomb and dominate. I mean its a general thing papers do in every game. That's how pvp is.

fordpre Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Don't forget putting aside Mind Snap, force wave and force stun will both also interrupt casting. I've done this fight numerous times and don't find it a problem now. I can't remember if both force wave and force stun work on this fight, I seem to recall wave does but stun doesn't.
