2.0 Hardmode Flashpoints are not worth the payout.

Hydraulic overrides makes the BH immune to pretty much evereything. Knockdowns, Physicts, movement imparing effects. You just have to be free and able to use it. The bonus boss in Hammer Station does a quick cast before he stuns the group. I see the quick cast, use my Hydraulic overrides before the stun, and I completely avoid the stun and the damage. The skill has a 30-second cooldown, though, and the boss does that stun about every 20-25 seconds. So I use my override the first time, the second time I do get stunned by use my CC breaker (as soon as you are no longer stunned, you stop taking damage from that skill). The third time my override is back up so I use it. The fourth time, I do get stunned and damage. Fifth time I can use overrides... and so on, just have to keep myself, the tank, and the melee alive (ranged shouldn't be getting hurt at all). So I use the kolto missile as often as I can on the group.

It must be a knockdown then if it works; I'm a PT and was given this ability with 2.0 as well and the only thing it doesn't really work on is actual stuns. Good to know for when I finally get Hammer to pop.

Think HMs are basically fine. Though, at least as a Sin, haven't heard from other tanks the damage seems a bit high from adds etc. I tanked the level 50 HMs in recruit gear and it wasn't like this, and I'm in full DG (and now some better gear).

So...Think they're slightly over tuned...just slightly. It would be nice if every boss dropped purple gear though.

Other than Mandalorian Raiders, the other three lvl 55 HM can be a walk in the park after you get familiar with it. MR is only a real pain when you have inexperienced healer in group. The inexperience is not about the skill but being aware to pump huge heals into tank during add fights.

what?
bad player is always bad player,
i did 2.0 55 HMs and OPs, most of em is a shot clear,
i said it is not hard,
but my team member said : " No , he met lot of stupid players in pub side"
i smiling face it;
but after few days, i played my alt with a lowbie 50 HMs,
OMG, WTH is that, horrible players with 63 gears but dont know how to play a cake FP,
others r wipe out, only me survive;

i think average little above ppl just rush the expansion, and quit quickly or just play with their guilds,
so if u want to have fun with an MMO, try to hardcore at the beginning!

(i hate to grind and hardcore a game, it should be relax ur RL stress, but in an MMO, u have to rush,
that's one of the reason that SWTOR shouldn't exist, EA should make it into a CONSOLE game like kotor serials! )

No idea how this is a reply to my post.

Man there are apparantly so many people in this game that are so full of themselves, just waiting for a self satisfying opportunity of saying how easy the new HMs are. Ever heard modesty is a virtue? Ffs try to contain yourselves you weirdos.

Full of themselves? No, just honest.... the 55 HM's are NOT that hard....if you're trying to do them in Black Hole gear or lower and expect to zerg through, you're wrong.

Frankly, I think most posters here don't really give a damn to whether others think they are "elite" or not. They are more concerned game getting "dumbed" down and drawn out of fun to satisfy players who are expecting everything to be a walk in the park.

So because you are struggling within the first couple of days of the expansion with the new FP you'll just quit instead of learning how to do them properly...
