Caleb_Nokama Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) I don't get this heroic at all. Sometimes, I'll be fighting the pair of elites with the small group spawn, and just wreck them. Sometimes, they 3-shot me no matter what I've got up. It makes no sense. EDIT: Seems lightning sorcs suffer in this one, but I switched to madness, and it became almost hilariously easy. *shrug* "Balance" lol Edited January 11, 2016 by Caleb_Nokama Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do ridiculous damage in comparison to the other elites in the instance. They'll hit you for near half your health in a single hit, whereas all of the others will barely tickle you. The marauder and assassin equivalent elites are the other two, and like I said you can basically shrug off the damage they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The adds also present a problem just from chipping away, but they're easy enough to dispose of if I'm paying attention. Those elites though, ugh. Finally got through it by respeccing madness out of lightning, became weirdly easy after that. Voss SF down, only 5 more to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchblue Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 208, all modded up, with Bowdaar at 26. No difficulty until the last part. 2 groups with elite knight in both. Slammed. If I last 20 seconds I feel fortunate. I wish I could pull just one group at a time but 2 knights in heroic just too tough for me. I'm a MM Sniper btw. I'm a solo player, no in game friends and I don't chat. As long as losing companions doesn't effect Chapter 10 and beyond I guess it's all good. It was cool to land in jail early on..

Have you tried cc'ing one of them? I wouldn't give up, you can improve your gear and comp level too. Heroic SF is meant to be a real challenge solo. Check out YouTube. Gl.

Use your heroic, orbital strike on first group, or have comp cc the elite. Clear the first group. If the knight pops his CC, stun him. You have to actually be strategic, not just hack and slash.

VegasTheLost Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 I'm a MM Sniper btw. As a sniper you have amazing defensives to survive. Use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchblue Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 As a sniper you have amazing defensives to survive. Use them. Normally but they seem to be immune to it all. And they're so fast..I'll keep trying I guess and try a new strategy. Thanks all for the advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KyaniteD Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 (edited) Yes. I never actually get to her because of those darn Knights.. Just one particular fortress/instance or all of them? I had problems there with my sniper (216/220 vendor gear), too, but only in one specific star fortress. Unfortunately I don't remember which one it was. I never had problems there before, not with this character nor any other. It's usually a quick & easy fight. I had a rank 26 Scorpio set as healer and went down ridiculously quick, even with heroic moment and all the extra abilities from the Alliance contacts. Even spamming all available AoEs, they always focused on my companion, at most I could draw away one of them for a few seconds. After Scorpio went down they focused on me and I was gone quick, too. I tried many times and eventually I was ready to reset the whole instance, but wanted to give it one more try and rotated through Scorpios stances and settled on tank (her original role). I figured if she's bugged maybe she's drawing aggro like a tank without the defenses of a tank when in healer role. I went int again, they focused on her again, I spammed everything I had and fully expected to be sacrificing my companion but we both made it out alive with a good portion of our HP intact. So if it's just one instance that's problematic, try changing companion role, maybe even switch back to the original one. If that doesn't help, completely reset the instance.

Vhaegrant Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Yes. I never actually get to her because of those darn Knights.. You won't if you are playing the Heroic mode. Ephemeris is for the solo player, in the Heroic you have another section to go before a final boss fight. Have you tried working on your influence with the Alliance Specialists. There is a terminal in the first room on the station that unlocks a set of buffs and there are four items to gather around the station (one of which is a handy turret). For a full unlock you'll need about 80 alliance crates per specialist, start running those heroics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are seriously important, along with the console buff in the beginning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clone_Enforcer Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Try getting an achievement "The one and only" from star fortress without using a cheat guide. I so earned my title without cheating and on a solo approach with my companion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
