never had too many problems with Voss... It was much harder for my sentinel than it was for any other character- but nothing I would call a wall.

The one thing I do have problems with has been that Avatar of whatever it was boss... Usually I skip him for a good long while and finish up the class story and sometimes even the bonus series and part of Corellia before I can take him...and I tend to leave Voss around 48/49. It's his constant force choke and lightning storm combo that eats away at me faster than a healing companion can usually keep up.

other than that I find Voss to be pretty solo friendly
Sorry, I'm old and can only read complete words.

There is nothing "wrong" with VOSS, only some people's expectations of it.

We expect difficulty in FP HMs, OPS etc. and accept that some will die and sometimes the entire party will be wiped. Why would you not expect that in missions? Does it say anywhere that the cruise through the planets should be constant? Did you expect it to be constant?

I LIKE variation and I DISLIKE complete predictability. The fact of the matter is that you CAN vanquish these missions - maybe not as early as you hope to - but you CAN.

A game that force players to get tactical in their thinking sometimes is not a bad thing.

There a Heroic 4 on VOSS that I've found dastardly difficult even with "on par" levelled and geared players. Every time I level a toon, this one mission looms ahead and I always look forward to it. Nevertheless, I have never vanquished it and I think I have tried it with over 50 different players so far..lol. But I don't EXPECT to be able to vanquish everything all the time and so, I enjoy myself.

...there is enough predictability and grind in the game...rejoice in the fact that something is different than the rest...

Looks like he wasn't reading the post at all, he crafts his own gear, as well as his companions' gear, so except for having purple quality gear, they have twice better then what the game would give them via quests and he is still getting killed easily, so its not gear.

Hell, i have even had level 25 purples, while doing level 35 content and then only see better gear being rewarded, Voss does need toning down, quite abit actually.

I suggest you try going through Voss solo, instead of in a group like most people that say its easy tend to do.

The only problem I have with Voss that it stinks of a ME cast-off. Mosy unlike Star Wars planet/race I've came across. Had no issues with all purple gear/mods for my level.

It does get harder on Voss, but it's not a wall. It's a skills check. It happens several times through out the game. You can't assume the same old tactics will work as the difficulty increases.

Made it through with my Sent with some difficulty, but I learned a few good lessons going into Corellia. With my Shadow, no issues because I learned my lessons well. For me, the key is understanding the NPC and their abilities before you attack. Also, in my experience, you have to play to your class. If you are dps fore example, then you really have to start thinking about using your tank more. Let him pull aggro and you do heavy damage fast. You can't always rely on your healer.

All NPCs have weakness you have to exploit. It's not hack and slash. And yea... if you make a mistake, unlike before where you could weather it, you just might die. Personally, I think Voss is a great set up for Corellia. Made things simpler knowing that it wasn't a brainless pattern of attacks anymore. At least it wasn't for me.
