If I remember rightly Valon is level 39.
He'll be invincible at the start - I think that there's an indicator bar - but either way deal with his lackies first.
The just make sure that you interrupt his main attack.
As others have said ensure that your gear is up to scratch especially mods for orange armour. Use those planetary comms to ensure that all is well.

Yeah, at first you wont do any damage to him iirc. Just keep hacking away and at some point you'll start to see his health drop.

If you want fights to be easier though, make sure that you're buying mods/gear from the commendations vendors on each planet.

Also, having an AC helps. You haven't said if you have one yet so...

I did this fight, however I was lvl 40ish and I was doing just planetquest/ classquest and pvp.

If you have followed the previous quest of this, you would remember that the imperial scientist is telling you that you can beat his armor only by putting him in danger several times so the medical unit of his armor is going to collapse. I believe he healed himself 3-4 times, I didn't pay too much attention as the fight was over faster than I thought.

I had around 9-10k life at that time, I was playing the middle tree and used mainly low slash/ 4sec stun + shadow strike to keep him from doing a lot while my companion was shooting at him (didn't use healer pet). If he is too though, ask someone else to help you, however you should consider doing some flashpoints/ pvp do get back up as Belsavis is going to through you together with lvl 41/42.

As for gearing, forget about the crafter advise (I have all crafter and did this prior), the best and fastest way is to use your planetary comms to get mods, I used usually armor mods with high willpower+low endurance, normal mods with low endurance, power and surge, enhancements with accuracy and power (if possible). If you need more planetary comms, do some pvp and trade your warzone comms for planetary comms (at the pvp vendor, left of the terminal)

Valon - consular class quest boss - heals himself right up a few times before he goes down for good. Just keep whacking him. As was mentioned, an NPC implies this.

If he kills you, you're not powerful enough. More levels, better gear. Good luck.

You don't say what your advanced class is, but I did this with a healer sage and good old Qyzen in tank mode.

Earlier in the thread, he said he's playing a shadow.
