Tyranthus Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 (edited) I wish they'd enable the forum search again as I'm sure this information is here somewhere, but here goes... In Operations, whats the standard group layout supposed to look like? Am I correct in assuming an 8-man would be 2 tanks, 2 heals, 4 dps? If so, what should the layout of a 16-man Op be?

Ginsupup Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I'm curious, Given the Nightmare ect even for single boss fights, wouldn't you want 2 tanks at least given the way taunt works? -30% damage to attack a different target from both tanks at the same time would seriously diminish the bosses damage output. but I suppose that might be a mechanic for specific moments on certain bosses.

Mozivicus Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Simple n00b question here, but, how do you start a 16 man op in the game? Is there a special spot to go to on a planet to acquire the quest for the world boss? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you taunt the boss, the boss will attack you, thus will not suffer from the 30% damage debuff. That's what taunt does; force themob to attack you. The 30% debuff only really works for pvp, where if you taunt another player, that person STILL can choose to attack something else, thus creating the 30% debuff.

Is there a special spot to go to on a planet to acquire the quest for the world boss? Nope, just form a party, right click on your portrate and click convert to ops group. Also i was in a group that took out the Alderann boss new years eve and we had 20 peeps in our ops group, the max is 24 not 16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
