Bioware's patch notes don't verify anything you've said except that sometimes that damage was doubled.

At level 30ish you start to get enough talents to be out the first fews tiers of deception so you actually start getting useful talents. I know a lot of people, myself included, that went madness up until 30 and then switched over to deception. Now that I am 50 I have switched to a 0-13-28 build that is so much better than a deception build.

The controls locking is not a bug, its that simple. If you do it correctly, the controls won't lock and you'll get the loot. Now after it locks, I believe is bugged because it doesn't reset properly after a wipe.

If you are still having trouble with this it is your own damn fault. The solution has been posted and yet still people are arguing and trying to figure it out. Blind leading the Blind.

The encounter resetting is a bug, yes... but that has absolutely nothing to do with the mechanic of the fight... man I hate repeating myself. Locking the south pylon first every time on NMM will not work. @BeBen(whatever) Thanks for the insight into your personal opinion. There you go someone figured it out. It works South, North, North, South also. Its important to wait for the raid message to confirm the puzzle has been solved and then say "waiting for..." You can sometimes get away with solving them closely together but if there is any latency difference between the people clicking it can screw you up.

Resetting the instance is a bug that has absolutely no effect on a groups ability to solve the puzzle. You don't have any idea what you are talking about and it would be more helpful to the community as a whole if you'd stop posting. The answer has been posted, in this thread, the solution to the puzzle and how to stop the controls from locking everytime.... yet still people are trying to figure it out? I thought my "there you go, nothing to do with etc etc etc" post was enough hint.

BRB BOWFLEXING is Ensidia from WoW. In other news... nothing to do with same time, or number of clicks, or anything else people were posting.

It can absolutely be incorrect just because you finished the encounter doesn't mean that you purposely figured out the mechanic. There are a ton of guilds looking for the solution that have solved the puzzle but don't understand what they did. There are 2 mechanics to this fight. Same time has nothing to do with it.

I understand. It is hard to sort through all the post which is why we are trying to help where we can.

http://swtor.irae-guild.de/blogs/instanzen/41-eternity-vault/398-killvideo-soa-the-infernal-one-8-man-nightmare Here is the video. Boss only has 899k health and Mind traps only have 25k. They labelled it Nightmare but I'd say its an invalid kill.

I've been bouncing between the three threads telling people that and trying to give them some feedback but we aren't giving the answer up so people are upset.

I've done absolutely everything besides give you the answer, is that what you are upset about? We were asked in another thread to not post the answer because there are guilds that want to figure it out for themselves. So until I get the "okay" the best I can do is try to contribute by saying "That's not it guys," which is becoming harder because people keep repeating bad information and tagging "This works 100% of the time." You never answered what MODE you are doing this on anyway? I am specifically talking about Nightmare Mode.

Everyone is locking the controls on Pylons Gramz so they continue posting that its a bug.

I love this post because you are basing your answer off the fact that anyone of those actually has something to do with the mechanic of the puzzle. Stop telling people there is a bug concerning control locking, that is the mechanic, it happens if you do it wrong.
