Been thru Voss 3 times - IT. NEEDS. REBALANCING.

My Knight, my Trooper, and my Inquisitor have all encountered the exact same problem on Voss. You can get through the first three-quarters of the planet without much problem. Then

BLAM

Brick wall. Suddenly, violently, you are way, way under powered.

Let me explain how I level. I do all the quests, and I do 90% of the bonuses, and I do all the bonus series as soon as they are available. I do the space missions every time I'm in my ship. I craft rare/blue items religiously and spend my commendations wisely, so what I have equipped it worlds beyond what I'm always offered as quest rewards.

Do you know what this should mean? This should mean that, since I've gotten bonus, extra, non-mandatory XP, and since my gear and my companion's gear is twice as good as the things they offer to give me, (which should be perfectly adequate themselves, since, you know, the game is trying to give it to me at that point in time,) that ALL means I should be kicking PvE *** up AND down BOTH sides of the street.

This is not what is happening on Voss. You do one quest after the other, they are all fine and doable... then comes the one. The one where no matter how many stims you chug, now matter which companion combo you try, no matter how often you try to interrupt, that mission boss is just impossible. And you still have 90% of level 46 to go through before you can get to level 47.

If this happened once on one faction, it could be a fluke. But no. The last questing area of Voss needs a nerf, and it needs to happen before any of my other characters get to that godforsaken planet.

Up until this one point, everything is balanced pretty alright. A person can be caught up without much difficulty all throughout the game, WITHOUT having done any silly Flashpoints or PvP, until this point. Then suddenly... ugh.

I didn't experience this.

I'm Lv 48, and I find some of the gold bosses to be pretty tough on Voss. I'm a DPS and my tank companions tend to get rolled pretty quickly. If I use my other companions I generate all the threat and get rolled.

That being said, it's my first character in my first MMO. I'm willing to accept that it may just be me for the most part.

Hard on my GS without a real Healer comp;

Easy on my Vanguard with a healy comp;

Go figure.

I agree with the OP. I did experience this "wall" on Voss too. I just left the planet. Never went back.

I wouldn't mind if Voss' quest levels were lowered.

After finishing Voss, you're probably only a few levels shy of 50. But you then suddenly receive quests for Voss bonus series, Hoth bonus series, and Corellia.

The biggest problem with Voss is that armor debuffs stack, and in any given Voss mob, more than one mob will have an armor debuff, magnifying the damage you take.

Of course, you could just play smarter.

Armor debuff and BAM 3-4 DoTs that disregard any form of resistence.

erm, voss is easy... the only annoyingly difficult quest line was the NS Bonus round, and they nerfed it already. Sounds like you dont have up to date gear. Doing lvl 47 missions in lvl 41 gear is not a good way to be successful.

Sounds to me like you need to learn to press more than just a few buttons.
