Raphael_diSanto Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 (edited) As Sages ? I did it as healing sage, using a healing comp. Never played a DPS sage, so I don't know if it would be easier or harder. Mostly in 216s with the occasional 220, aug'd up with old 186 augs because I haven't bothered to regear yet. Don't remember the companion rank, high 30s or so. Wasn't easy, per se, and involved a lot of annoying kiting of the kind I'd hoped to never do again after playing a bard in EQ for years, but I got it done, got the title. I think it was the Alderaan one. Never doing it again, LOL. Edited November 26, 2015 by Raphael_diSanto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chosonman Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Try playing with a lvl 50 influence comp like treek and fully geared and augmented sniper with all datactons unlocked. Don't expect to face roll with crappy gear. My hp never dropped below 80%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkSaberMaster Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 actually not true the Sage TK dps tree is strong yes but its considerably weaker in comparison to sorc infact most jedi are weaker in comparison to their empire counterparts.

cyberglum Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 I had same problem on my madness sorc. companion died about 1/2 way through fight. I had to kite the boss around and keep him dotted up. It took a while but finally killed him. Mahrdol and a couple of others have mentioned this, kiting, dotting, Rejuve and bubbling yourself can see you through that last 50% if your companion goes down.

masstershake Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Do this on a Balance sage (madness sorc) And a healing companion, i did this on a madness sorc with a lvl 10 healing companion. The healing from your DOTS will help keep you up. your companion should not grab agro. use the shield gen thing you pick up that prevents you from being pulled in on the way to the final boss. and use your heroic moment. start the thing with your heroic moment. i dropped to 60% once and that was it. use your stun break, and all of your abilities, it should be easy enough.

Fleurdelis Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 I have done the heroic twice on my madness sorc with a level 50 scorpio and no buffs and the achievement never popped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Transcendent Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Aren't they like, the pub's side sorcs? You know, the OPest class around? The class with the best movement advantages, stuns, heals and so forth? They are indeed one of the strongest classes. Without seeing a video, none of us can see what is going wrong.

Master-Nala Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 As Sages ? Yes, many have done so. It's really not that hard. I got 'the one and only' on my Sage in the Voss SF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure you get the kill shot. If the exarch dies to environmental damage, or if your companion gets the kill shot, you don't get the achievement, IIRC.

Bahahahahahaahaha XD Good joke man/woman So strong for being #15 and #13 of the 17 DPS classes XD Heals are pretty good though but DPS specs on the other hand.....

PulseRazor Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 I tried 3 different times to do this and now here I am again solo without buffs at final boss zar draya this time.. unable to defeat him. seconds within the fight he kills my rank 50 senya companion.. I tried other companions and bosses too.. yesterday tried voss and earlier today tried belsavis so basically have speant too many hours to count on this.. yes took a few bio break, etc and I probably need a real life but here I am to say I can't do it. I'm not a legendary player and I don't have all those special buffs.. I have some datacrons but not all.. armor is all 216.. NO IDEA WHAT ELSE to do but I seriously think the companion is not enough .. too much nerf or my class is just too weak, too squishy, etc.. oh yeah he always attacks the companion first. PS sorry run on sentences. Would you mind posting a video of your gameplay so that we can be certain that you are using optimal damage rotations, cooldowns, companion control, et cetera? also, they said you could complete the flashpoint, not get the hardest achievements.

Lord_Tartaros Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiB9ebaMVHw You're just bad, m8. That was with the nerfed heal-companions and still easy as **** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brayla_Sana Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 (edited) I have done the heroic twice on my madness sorc with a level 50 scorpio and no buffs and the achievement never popped. I was wondering if a ranged comp would be better for the OP. Edited November 27, 2015 by Brayla_Sana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savyl Posted November 27, 2015 Author Share Posted November 27, 2015 (edited) I was wondering if a ranged comp would be better for the OP. I tried both rangedand melee.. but I think when I try it again this week-end I will change my discipline to balance .. although I've only done tk so far so I only know how to play tk. Would you mind posting a video of your gameplay so that we can be certain that you are using optimal damage rotations, cooldowns, companion control, et cetera? also, they said you could complete the flashpoint, not get the hardest achievements. Hi, I could do a video if I knew how. I do own Something called fraps but haven't used it in years. I never used it on a game but I could learn. I plan to try again sf solo sans buffs again this weekend. I have completed all the star fortress flash point achievements except for this one and only without buffs and ungrouped.. also haven't done the achievements for companions but did everything else. I was wondering if for the hard achievement does that mean you have to be ungrouped during the entire FP or only during boss fight? I was curious since the achievement says defeat him ungroup but doesn't clairify if that also means ungrouped during entire run. Thanks again everyone for comments, tips, advice and information.

Savyl Posted November 28, 2015 Author Share Posted November 28, 2015 Today I tried it as Balance with rank 50 companion and then again as Healer but had more success as Balance.. had him below 50% health this time before I died. I guess I'll give up for now. I just cannot do it.. and yea maybe it's just me the player, no idea but did try all the suggesstions other than not having time to get all the datacrons yet but I would think that part shouldn't matter if devs said normal players should be able to complete this with companion. I know some have but also many cannot and I also think it dépends on the class too. Thanks again everyone. Have a nice weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legolose Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 (edited) Sagas should get more buffs?? Really? Aren't they like, the pub's side sorcs? You know, the OPest class around? The class with the best movement advantages, stuns, heals and so forth?Yep I had very little problem running it with my Sorcerer so.. And I DPS spec. "Lightning"..

MWidowmaker Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 I just completed my first Heroic Star Fortress solo, rank 37 companion, only found 1 of the caches, and used the buff, Lightning sorc, but switched to Corruption for the exarch since Lana died when it was about 60%, ended up kiting it for the remainder....its a challange, but its doable. It was the Belsavis. I was bummbed because I didnt find all 4 caches for the acheivement so I have to do it again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talosred Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 (edited) Voss will remain the though one out of the star fortress my question is are you able to do the unlocks for the extras things, that makes the different. Keep moving when possible, even if your npc falls just keep with the small attacks laying down dots if possible and doing your instant attacks, you will nail them eventually. I found running in a circle once the npc falls and laying down instants and dots helps, so do those unlocks. Also get yourself the heal bubble, when going solo into star fortress saves yourself some headaches, run heal bubbles for somethings on both my sorc and sage Edited November 28, 2015 by Talosred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KwaiKang Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Don't feel bad, I've given up on the Heroic Star Fortress. I got tired of being a pinata. If it's a requirement for the game, then I'm simply wasting my time. I guess I should unsub and go back to Star Trek Online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or wait a couple of months for them to make the heals from npcs more doable again, they still need to do the balance for that and not go to far either way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The companion heals are not as good as they were before the patch, but substantially better than they were when nerfed to hell. I suggest raising alliance, raising compapion influence, keep grinding the planet heroics for crystals, gear up, then going back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
