qqmoarploxify Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 First of all, I'm not complaining about this boss, only looking for advice on how to deal with certain mechanics. Our core group hasn't been to EV since the patch but atm our other group, trying to gear peoplefor 16mans, are having trobules dealing with lightning on P2. Do these balls of lightning do more damage based on how long they are up or less damage. With the changes can we have 1 person absorbing them?

Iwipe Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 (edited) Balls are not tauntable anymore. Since you get a screen emote when the balls pop, it is very easy to shield that person and have them go and just pop their balls. Quick and painless, no need to waste dps dodging the balls.

I complain about his buggyness :/ The balls do an AOE zap damage within 10m (I believe) and explode on contact. It doesn't matter how long they are up, but if they move through people who they don't belong to they can zap them 2 or 3 times. On Nightmare that means you're dead. I've got a vid and write up on my blog for Soa showing how we manage him. http://swttor.blogspot.com/2012/01/swtor-pve-eternity-vault-soa.html Edited January 31, 2012 by Malissant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maestrodomus Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Last week on HM they were disappearing and then exploding 20m away on people who couldn't see them. Fantastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talorra Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Last week on HM they were disappearing and then exploding 20m away on people who couldn't see them. Fantastic! Solution: turn on enemy NPC nameplates. We've seen the same issue, and plates on saved the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
