  1. Solo+ came out at the same time, and has always been far easier then Solo. With that being said you couldn't get the achievements doing it on Solo+.
  2. There are many things in this game I'll never be able to do for whatever reason. I understand my limitations. That doesn't mean what I can't do needs to be nerfed. If people are telling you the balance is fine, with some practice and work you can do it, that means it is possible (not counting specific disabilities). Content is not balanced around someone's disability, but on the average player. The average player that can do Vet Mode Operations or Master Mode Flashpoints (or a player looking to do either) can complete eternal championship.
  3. As you've seen people post. You can do it alone, it just does take understanding of your class (Rotation, and DCD's), a ranked up companion (ranged companion is a better option), and understanding of the mechanics of each fight. There are guides to help with the boss mechanics out there, or used to be anyway. It is not something you can just walk into and have your companion give you a free pass at for you to solo it. knowledge of the fights is the most important part of it, then rotation, and knowledge of DCD's so you know when to use what.
  4. For those doing the Eternal championship 1 bit of huge advice any of us can give. Don't use a melee companion as a healer. Use rdps/heal companions Shae is the best DPS, and a solid healer companion. Zo-om is decent at dps (below shae), but is best healer. If you don't have either of those companions use a ranged companion double blasters usually have higher dps, and decent healing.
  5. Except the class I did it on is not my main, it is not one I play at all for any kind of content that requires a rotation. The hardest thing I've done on that Deception sin since 4.0 is DK heroic. The stuff in there does not require you to do anything but sleep, while spamming abilities. DPS check is non existent. You went on the assumption I took a class through EC on one I actually played. I didn't. If I intend to do MM FP's, or HM/NiM Ops it would be on a healer, Sniper, or Madness sorc, so the fact I actually did EC on a Sin shows you I was not going to have improved my DPS, or class knowledge much in all that time.
  6. If your capable of clearing Explosive Conflict on Vet mode, your skilled enough to do Eternal Championship solo without a doubt. The problem is that the leveling Story is now so easy, that new players are not properly prepared for content that requires the understanding of doing mechanics. It's why they aren't prepared for MM FP's, or HM/NiM Ops. They can just let the companions kill everything in the story part of the game and fall asleep. Personally I have not improved my skills since 4.0. I used to do some NiM back in 2.x, but in truth I was the weakest of that group, and barely ready for that content (if I was ever ready). I've just started over the last year or so getting back into harder Ops, but definitely haven't really improved much. I've spent most of those years doing conquest or GSF. The question I have to ask, is it time to return some mechanics to older content so people will be prepared for it when they get to content like this? As long as the base game continues to be as easy as it is now, I can't see how threads like this won't keep popping up, when players are simply not prepared for this content.
  7. I believe your thinking of boss #6 You have the 2 monsters starting Left, and right, with boss in the middle (all 3 have circles under them). You need to stand in the circles or they'll reflect. While this mechanic has been ignored for years, you want to in reality spread out the 2 monsters (I grab boss, + 1 monster, and have comp grab the other). You want to separate the 2 monsters enough so they do not glow red, but not to far so that the farthest one jumps to you. If they're to close they enrage, and do more damage. Obviously try staying in circle, while kiting to take less damage from boss, monster,+ reflect kill one monster, then the other, then boss. This and Fight 7 (Nocturno) are probably the 2 fights that take me the longest, and cause me to not get sprint champion, but they aren't difficult if your following the mechanics and don't need to be nerfed. I just need to get better. Many ignore this mechanic because they use reflects (as merc can probably do here) or other things that may be far better for them to be stacked instead, but for many classes keeping them apart is a better option.
  8. I learned the Nocturno death enrages the other one in round 7 last week. I had forgotten about that. As for the Doom droid adds, that's what I was thinking of, when I mentioned the adds spawning during droid channel. That is 100% an issue with that person not understanding mechanics and is most likely tunneling the boss, instead of swapping to the adds. Clearly I already new to swap to adds (because I've always done that evidently, since I forgot or never even knew about a one shot mechanic). Clearly this is not a this needs to be nerfed issue, it's understanding of what the mechanics are of the fights issue. While BW made all of the early game so easy you can sleep walk through it, the eternal championship they claimed was put in to get people ready to do group content (or so they said at the time). Meaning mechanics mattered. If you don't follow the mechanics you will die. It's not meant to be derp easy. And if someone claims well I can't beat Sprint championship, so it needs a nerf, I'd counter with this. "Not all achievements need to be easy, if you are unable to do it, then you need to work on your play. Get better at your rotation, your understanding of DCD's, positioning during the fights, and most of all the mechanics."
  9. If you read my earlier post I said I did it last week for Galactic Season's. So yes I did it in 7.0. It's not out of whack for balance. Learn the mechanics.
  10. I don't remember any insta kill mechanic honestly. If it's the Nocturno fight (#7) you need to kite the tank symbol into the white circles. He does a lot of damage when he hits you, but he doesn't 1 shot you. Only other possible mechanic I can think is on one of the last 2 bosses when the boss is channeling, and droids spawn around the room. Kill the droids and nothing special happens. If that is the insta kill mechanic, that is definitely not a balance issue, but a stop tunneling the boss and learn mechanic's issue lol. As I said I just did this last week for Season's (on a Deception sin, and I wasn't spec'ed into having any heal from a DCD), and I saw no insta kill mechanics. Edit: Just redid Eternal Championship on my deception sin (remember Deception is by no means considered a top notch dps spec these days.). No one shot abilities went off. I even put my companion (shae) on DPS for rounds 1-4, Heal for 5,6, and 7. Round 8 she was on dps (was close to death on that rancor fight), heals on 9, and 10. I wiped once on Noctorno fight (round 7) from carelessness on kiting. Otherwise no other hiccups. As for getting the 1.3 GCD for eternal Championship I don't see where that is possible on all classes. Possibly for lightning sorc, but not worth it for classes that do not get an alac buff from either class or guild perk. Going on a toon with no alac buff it would not have been worth losing my accuracy for the 5400+ alac needed for that.
  11. That is what many of us are trying to tell you. The balance isn't out of whack. It's about right. You don't need BiS gear to beat it. If you can't earn an achievement like Sprint champion (which I haven't), that not a balance issue, but a skill issue. I'm simply not good enough to get that 1 achievement. I have earned every other achievement from eternal championship after the nerf to companions in 4.0, and I'm telling you it is balanced fairly well as it is. To some extent it is easier now, then when it first came out.
  12. I did eternal championship during 4.0, and now. The balance feels about the same if not easier to me as well. The only thing I never accomplished was the sprint champion, and that always felt like 1-2 bosses always kept me from doing that. Not due to difficulty (granted those 2 were more difficult then the rest), but from a mechanic standpoint The 6th and 7th boss always took me longer. Granted I don't play the specs that most ran for that being Vengeance Jugg (for reflect). I generally play deception or virulence when I run it. To me the rest of the bosses melt fairly easily. Edit: for the record I completed it in 340 Hyde/Zeek gear just last week, and not 344 Rakata.
  13. I've had them count every season when I'm doing the FP objectives in Solo mode.
  14. and 5-10 years later Swtor will still be around.
  15. Interesting. I just did 2 Objective meridian's through the solo tab of activity finder, and neither counted. That's definitely a new change.
