Blurred Lines is recruiting all DPS and some healers for Progression Raids and all PVE content. We are doing HM S&V, TFB, and TC. Soon to be progressing NiM. We raid mostly at night during the week. Sometimes on the weekend if everyone is on. Message Benjah or Caped'crusader in game for more info.

Do the devs really think that a live event with vanity gear and a crossbow!!!111 that you can get in a day is better than working on a new ops?

Yeah this lag is too much. We find that we cannot beat EC HM because of it. On Zorn and Toth we constantly get people lagging into red circles even though they are not actually in them. On Kephess people are getting 1 shotted by the rail shot droids even though they are directly underneath them. It's really frustrating to say the least. Please fix it.

I happen to agree with this statement. I may be wrong, but I prefer to stack absorb because of the high cap compared to defense. I'd like to see how beneficial all that defense really is, because mine is at 10%. 53% shield 64% absorb. I have tanked HM Kephess like this. My stats might be off, but I think high absorb works.

Thank you for the post Jesse. It is great to hear from you, but can we please, please have some sort of a timetable on Nightmare EC and Terror From Beyond, other than "soon."

Can anyone see the second Dev post?

1. PVE Healing- not horrible, but not great. Some people have said to me that sorc healers are "useless" compared to operatives, besides the big Aoe heal of course. They say sorcs are only good in certain situations and on certain boss phases. 2. PVE Healing- not even close to as good as operatives and so much harder to play (I have an op healer too). When running EC I find it way easier to do on my op, even though it is not geared as well as my sorcerer. Sorcs have Zero mobility and horrible energy management which literally kills us in EC HM.

You guys are right I think it will come down to maximizing DPS through their uptime and rotations/ using the right abilities. It's just frustrating when we've done Zorn and Toth easily so many times now, but can't beat the Tanks. It really is a big step up for us and is a lot less forgiving fight.

Thanks, I'll try to make a vid on our next attempt. I'm going to have everyone do DPS logs too. What would you say the DPS minimum should be?

We are not a hardcore guild at all, but we have been doing EC since 1.2 came out, and still haven't been able to beat the Tank bosses. We had trouble with the strategy for a bit, but we have it down now and still can't beat it. We got enrage when the bosses were over 15%. I know everyone says if you have the DPS for Zorn and Toth, then you can do it. And we have 1 shotted Zorn and Toth the last 3 times we tried EC, but never beat the Tanks. This seems like a big problem that we hit a lot. Our tanks and healers are always fine, but we hit enrage and die. Our DPS has good gear, most are in half or more Rakata, which is over geared for this. I don't understand what we are doing wrong but it doesn't seem worth it now. This is supposed to be Story Mode after all...

Thank you for the info. I still want to try the PFT/PPA build, I think it will be ok in flashpoints/ops, but will probably go back to a full pyro or that utility AP build.

Hi, I'm still leveling my Powertech, currently 35, and I love PPA but want PFT as well. It's possible to do a 0/23/18 spec and get both. I was wondering if this is at all viable, or if anyone has tried it yet.
