MarcusWeeman Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 I honestly think that Bioware needs to do a little tweaking for the foundry especially when it comes to that boss fight with HK47. With this new system implemented, 90% of the group is formed with 1 healer(me) and the rest are damage dealers. Coupled with the fact that HK hits insanely hard on tanks, let alone damage dealers and a lot of new people not understanding the mechanics, i strongly believe most runs on this FP will end up in failure at that stage. I think its a great idea for bioware to figure out some code so that HK has less health when a group is formed without a tank, or make a tank mandatory in any FP.
darkov Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Tacticals aren't balanced, just reduce HP/DMG on mobs and the addition of healing stations at key locations. Waste of time even attempting them if you get low levels in your group.
knowmyname Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 nah, pug groups and we blew through HK-47...mowed him down with ease every time different tanks and dps. same healer. no issues

knowmyname Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 (edited) That sounds like you're doing HM, not Tactical if you have a tank in every group. ran both. soloed the tactical. tanks roll in tacticals at times too. my main is a healer so i see tanks just as often as dps. some times 2 tanks. remember im one of the few that would solo HMFP. so these tacticals are a faceroll. nothing to them. even with bad groups ill get through it without much hassle. maybe thats the problem Edited November 3, 2015 by knowmyname

I don't heal, so I can't solo them or carry a group. Given the rewards, they are just a complete waste of my time in their current state.
Aaramis Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Ran this tactical yesterday. Myself (65 shadow - deception), another deception shadow (61), a vanguard (50-something, DPS spec), and a level 16 guardian. The Guardian died almost every fight, but we cleared the FP nonetheless. HK wasn't an issue at all, and was perhaps the only fight the guardian didn't die Not sure where the problem is there.
Djiini Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 What? But I thought companions were overpowered now, forums?

With this new system implemented, 90% of the group is formed with 1 healer(me) and the rest are damage dealers So you are talking about tactical? Beating HK-47 in the tactical version is not even remotely difficult unless someone does something stupid like melee him too long and get trapped in his "chamber" (which I did the last time I played it).
Infernixx Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 The issue probably lies with you and the players that you were grouped with. The few times I've done Tactical FPs(and Foundry was one of them), I've never had much of an issue.
Stradlin Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 1. Get gear 2. Get skill 3. Stop crying This is kinda hostile yet accurate. OP I think you are golden and kill the HK without too much difficulty if you pick and execute one, any, of these suggested steps. I've done it in few pugs with people being on lvl whatever and don't recall anything special going there. Revan has become harder than I recall. If you are healer and tank messes up, some move or another of Revan hurts the tank real bad.

Funny thing is i now cleared it with the normal group set up of 1 tank, 1 healer and 2 dps AND people knowing the mechanics. The problem im highlighting is how even new players get grouped into this tactical FP, without a tank, without understanding the mechanics and just makes it a difficult experience for the rest of us.
sojhill Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 1. Get gear 2. Get skill 3. Stop crying Bullseye. Totally agree.
Gallandaeus Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 What? But I thought companions were overpowered now, forums? No armor in Flashpoints makes them really unappealing in any role but Heal.
Corran Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 No armor in Flashpoints makes them really unappealing in any role but Heal. excepting those hot 42k crits they do when maxed out
