Developer Update – Terror from Beyond

They also said Nightmare EC was for August, see how that went.

Ah, thanks for the explanation, I'll go youtube it. Despite having completed all the ops I've never run them in a group that was "seeing the sights" so to speak so I haven't seen any of the cutscenes. Only a week ago I had to ask a guildmate why we were on Denova fighting a trandoshan.

You can pick up the quest and after you clear reenter before the ops group disbands to turn it in. That is what most people I have run with have done.
Or if you want the cutscenes:

If you would check wookieepedia you know that he survived and retreated somewhere

That's my question also. Guess rakata since that drops from previous story modes or black hole. But Explosive Conflict story mode also needed that.
So some clearence would be fine.

Thanks for the links Maxumus.


My statement there was a joke. The line "There's no way he could possibly have survived that" or something along those lines is a cliche, to the extent that saying it is akin to "jinxing" the situation so to speak, such that whoever is supposedly dead almost invariably comes back.

Teaming up and fighting space C'thun/Yogg'Saron instead. Totally original!

Yep, just like all the mobs in Rakghoul Conflicts.

Personally though I feel that grouping up to fight a dragon/god/elder evil is much more reasonable than ganging up to fight a single person.

You don't understand how mitigation works, clearly.

I'm going to explain this very clearly: mobs have 4 types of mitigation: energy, kinetic, elemental and internal. The damage reduction number you see on your character sheet is only relevant for energy and kinetic damage. Internal and elemental damage mitigation is NOT linked to damage reduction. Fact: Shadows have the highest internal/elemental damage reduction in the game.

So what does this mean? Some bosses only use iternal/elemental. Some use a mix of all four. Some only use kinetic/energy. Every single attack that Stormcaller does is internal/elemental. For that boss, Shadow is the best tank -by far-. Savage Wounding is a huge source of Kephess' damage. Guess what? Internal/elemental.

We are not useless. You have an argument if bosses do nothing but kinetic / energy.

But guess what? That isn't the case.

I can't wait for the new Op.

edit: More data to prove my point:

In my guild's last clear of EC HM, Zorn did a total of 591,489 damage to the raid. Only 81,323 of that was kinetic. That approximately 13.74% of his damage.

13.74%.

Everything else is internal / elemental.Which the Shadow/Assassin mitigates better than VG or Guardian.

So how are we worthless, exactly?
