Can you please make the Revan weekly a little less obnoxious?

Sometimes it isn't about no or failed tactics it's just pure old fashioned bad luck. You move to avoid an AOE and the boss hits you with a knock back that throws you into a mob.

The Revan fight has no mobs or cliffs so you don't have to worry about it but other fights with stun and knock back heavy bosses do.

I generally ignore him, he's the type that gives MMO players a bad name.

If there are monsters nearby that your character might get knocked back into, you kill them before you engage the boss. If there is a cliff, you position your character to get knocked away from the cliff.

Tactics.

Are there fights where you can't do this? If there are, then I guess luck is an issue. Why would that be a problem?

As opposed to players who continually post troll topics.

Exactly. What do you expect, this is the SWTOR forum

iirc there are a few bosses where attacking the surrounding mobs will agro the boss so tactics wise it's better to leave the surrounding mobs alone.

so do you actually play the game or do you spend all your time on the forums?

Then I guess that answers my question. Then it's a matter of making sure your character does get knocked into them. Maybe that's an issue of tactics, maybe it's an issue of luck. Don't see why it would be a problem either way.

As someone pointed out earlier, bring a tank companion. I can out threat them easily, but their taunts seem to be timed pretty well and with good use of interrupt I rarely get knocked back.

Bioware's encounters team has made some really awesome flashpoint and operation boss fights. If they did this solo version of revan they really dropped the ball.

People complaining about this fight must be taking a very long time to do the orb part or something. It's practically a 'push this button for weekly rewards' quest as is.

I am not so sure he/she is complaining about the fight, and is aware it is easy. I think it was directed at the constant knockbacks as a frustrating addition to the fight, with no real element to it other then to make it annoying. If the knockbacks also added a challenge, like Bran pointed out, you get knocked off a cliff or into a mob, I could live with that more myself since it would add challenge in developing tactics.

All BW did here was to make the fight seem hard and challenging but in reality, they did not. it is an illusion element they added.

I would love to see the fight be made more challenging myself, it seems very epic until you realize it may be impossible to lose....
