Sure there are bugs here and there but they are far from game breaking. It seems to be common trend to blame bugs if your raid wipe even when you don't know boss mechanics.

Excatly. I've been clearing hardmode/nightmare content now for weeks and we have never used masterloot on our raids and every boss, everytime drops same amount of items and it is 2 piece of rakata and 2 piece of exotech. I don't think this have anything to do with rng. Just plain bug with masterloot.

Anyone else having problems with SOA reseting in phase 3? We tried to kill it on nightmare tonight but everytime we got to last phase it just despawn during fight. Last week we did it without problems. I guess it because mindtrap target has agro but didn't they try to fix that by making him change target after casting trap on someone.

I found this thread to be really helpfull: http://sithwarrior.com/forums/Thread-Immortal-Defense-Compendium-A-Tank-s-Guide-To-The-Galaxy

Heya! I have 400 cybertech with slicing and so far I haven't found any drop recipes outside slicing missions and those have been only mounts and ship parts. Ilum vendor sells better armorings than I can make and daily quest gives better mods so I'm little worried how usefull my crafting skill is after all. Does anyone know if hardmode flashpoints or raids drop any usefull recipes?

That makes sense, thanks a lot. Have to try it tomorrow

Any tips for HK-47? We are having problems with it's stealth ambush 10k hits. We can combat ress one target but after few seconds it kills again one of us. Is our dps just too low and that is 'enrage' mechanic?
