The respawn timer jump from 1m30s to 10m has to go

1) Madness specc'd sorcerer for soloing, respec to healing for flashpoints

2) Its been a while since i did voss so not sure which quest you're refering to but i solo'd the entire planet.

Hmm.... maybe range and general hybrid-ness raw power would be enough with that class/spec, not sure.

I can't remember the name off-hand either, but it was impossible with any type of companion (tried healer, tank, melee DPS and ranged DPS) with a melee DPS class with no self-healing abilities (even using the heroic self heal, I could get the boss mob to about 10-15% but that was it).

There were another 2 or 3 like that which I came across, but at lower levels so you could simply out-level them to complete them (actually there are some mobs which hit inexplicably hard in melee, but that's a slightly different thread I guess).

Is it possible that the OP stumbled into a Heroic area/is doing a Heroic quest solo? That is the ONLY reason I could think of that he would be constantly aggroing elites.

Could be worse, in FFXI you lose xp for every death - to the point where you actually de-level.
(It did when I played, admittedly that was a few years ago so I don't know if it's changed or they use the same system in XIV)

If I die too many times in SWTOR I just go do some space missions or see if there's any quests left from the last planet until I level up or have the credits for slightly better gear.

I enjoy the challenge being beaten brings

I stopped playing my sorc once i hit 50, its a horribly boring class to play but my guild needed a healer hence why i stuck with it, and the story line wasn't too bad but from what i remember any time i had trouble it was usually due to mine or my companions gear needing an update

I used khem right up until i got talos, then i'd switch between khem and talos depending on if i needed to stay up for longer through heals or whether i needed a meat shield.

There were a few battles that the only way to win was to use khem, let him die but by that point the bosses health would be down enough that i could finish him off before i could be killed.

things are probably tougher now that med packs have been altered, i do recall several times spamming whirlwind waiting for a med pack cooldown to finish

Stop dying so much. How are you dying while leveling? I didnt even know it went up to 10 mins.

/thread

OP and the other fella who dies a lot are you aware of the companion implants and earpieces bug? You have to remove them and add them again every time you summon your companion, have a load screen or dismount. It is a known bug and in these high level areas may be the main reason you keep dieing. I myself have died in the past a few times up to the 10 min or even the next one but you learn and come back stronger it is a game not a race after all.

Yeah. The death penalty in TOR if anything is too easy. I mean..you donot even have to do a graveyard run. In GW2..appears I will have even another reason not to play it. But I do see the OP's point in this thread. The timer should not go from 1m 30 secs to 10M. A jump to 5 M and then the next one to 10M would make more sense.

LOL are you kidding? I just came from a game called Runescape that when you die you lose everything you are wearing and that is in your inventory other than your 3 most valuble items and you respawn somewhere else automaticaly. It totaly sucked and has the worst developers in gaming.

This game rules and waiting 10 minutes lets me make a sandwich and go to the bathroom.

Not to mention you lose experience if you die in that game, or you did last time I played it.

Why are you waiting the 10 mins, it only takes like 2 to run back.
