Just as an update - we ran this last night all level 39/40 and managed to 3 man it. There was no need to commit suicide - we just had to be very clever with the switches (or very lucky). We used a healer companion (well geared) for the guns at the start and the rest was fairly straightforward. Thanks everyone for your help. Conclusion - It is 3 mannable.

Excellent news - thanks!! Will try it next time we're on.

Thanks everyone for your responses. We're BH, SW and IA - so no friendly pulls (and I presume you can't duel in an flashpoint!). Looks like one we'll have to 4 man it. Thanks

Hi everyone Me and two friends are currently trying to 3 man all the flashpoints as we level and haven't had any problems till we went to Colicoid last night. Now we are only level 38 at the moment (which may make a difference?) but we were struggling with the first lot of cannons. So I have a few questions: a) Do the cannons do more damage as you increase in level - i.e. will it be easier if we level up a bit first? b) Do you think it is do-able as a 3 man? c) What advice would you give us? We tried all three on the guns and a healing companion (but she isn't very well geared) - is this what people would suggest? (We can focus on getting a better geared healer) Or alternatively (we didn't try last night) - I could heal and my two friends could use the cannons (would this be enough fire power?) If needs be we will probably look for a 4th real person - but we're enjoying the challenge of 3 manning these flashpoints. Thanks for any help you can give.
