I've really no idea what to do other than blunder through on my first character, first playthrough. Lv 50 Guardian and came across flashpoint Ilum as major story quest, so figured you have to take those purple triangle quests, right? I'm a solo player, getting to know how to play this game. I haven't joined guilds or responded to player interaction because I'm completely unsure of what I'm doing every step of the way. I'll be more social on the second character playthrough, I'll do all the class stories of course so plenty of time to make friends once I at least look like I've been near a computer before in this game environment. I do have KotOR experience, was a modder at Holowan Labs. First time here though.
So what's the deal with flashpoints, *** are they to my class story? How do you get past the MFMB (mumaminorboss), seriously I maxed customed a cartel jedi armour set at lv48 mods and no matter which companion I pick I just get my backside handed to me by the alien bosses. After 7 tries got past the first two but now stuck at the weequay one perpetually, I cannot beat that minor boss, it's just not going to happen with the powers/skills I've got and that particular boss abilities. I've tried running around the kolto stations and being super tactical about healing and trying to outlast until registering some useful damage, but his squad summons just floors me. I need AoE spells for that and Guardian only has melee buffs.
Somebody throw me a line.
