I think it depends on you AC and spec. My gunnery problems only had trouble with one quest. My knetic combat breezed through. My scrapper scoundrel, however is having a harder time. I actually needed a buddy to help out with 3 or 4 quests. And i never had any problems soloing any planet until Voss. I definitely notice they hit harder and have more HP. It is doable, but I do notice the increase in mob difficulty.

I am not sure about everyone else, but my concern is mainly because i soloed correllia with all 3 so easily but then voss just provided more challenge. Mind you I am that guy who goes to most of the planets 1 level below the required level .

voss wasn't quite a brick wall. but some of the elites there did seem to hit harder than on any other planet. and there was one boss at the end of the planet quests that i couldn't kill with my marauder. i went back and got him at 50, but it was still a very close fight, i am hoping my bh's range helps this time around when i get there

I assume you're referring to the one-eyed dude. Here's a little secret... you can kite him and let your ranged companion shoot the crap outta him as the AoE he does is stationary with a cast time. Or use a healer comp if you wanna play it safe. Personally, I've always killed him with a dps comp to burn him down faster.

^this...Kiting is important, also interrupt is your friend in this fight. You can gimp his damage output severely with well timed spell interrupts and knock backs.

Yes, to the Jawa you listen!

You could always get someone to help you kill that boss. There's no shame in it. I hear people shouting for help to kill some Imp boss in a class quest on Coruscant all the time.

I only had a problem on one questline. And I don't believe it was a main story one. There were elites with 2 companions, and they killed me no matter what. However, I teamed up with someone and got through it.

I was level 47 when i got to Voss (like you i do all bonus missions, but very few heroics, no FPs, no pvp, no space battles, no pvp) and it was still a little jarring how much more challenging the Voss quest where after the first few than on pervious planets. I have almost all orange gear and spend all my commendations on mods to stay as "strong" as i can too. I got to level 48 about a 3rd of the way thru Voss and the quests aren't any easier (even though they say level 46 and i have doc to heal me). On pervious planets i could go through mobs of 4-5 without losing more than a 1/4 of my health, on Voss those same mobs blast down 3/4 of it, even with doc spamming me with green goodness. I chalked it up to just the game getting amped up going towards the finally. The challenge is kinda nice imo, i haven't had to worry this much about my combat skills since i was in the low 20's. I actually have to plan out using stims, medpacs, and boosting powers again.
No, of course not. And that is the whole problem with aliens, you just can't trust them. Occasionally you meet a nice one, Starman, E.T., but usually they just turn out to be some kind of big lizard!
