I bring my tank companion and they seem to get the stuns even when on my tank, as long as I don't taunt.
prosperity in peace, victory in war

Fix obnoxious Revan! I don't care about that other stuff. Right? Lol. Hello Pot, meet Kettle.
Can you show me where I said don't work on other stuff?

Or you could just ignore it and let the npcs do all the work for you while you go afk.

You have to do it after the ops-version too.

I am pretty sure I used coherent English to express my 'issue' with the 'fight,' but if having NPCs fight the 'fight' for you is an acceptable end to Revan, or just acceptable in anything outside an obligatory cutscene, then your standards are rock bottom.
Good. Bad. I'm the twi'lek with the saber.

I thought I came back to it once (I got busy on the Facey-Book and actually forgot I was alt-tabbed) and only did one round of orbs. But never got it to repeat that. I guess I just haven't stayed alt-tabbed away long enough!

This actually makes it even sadder. Just make it a cutscene and hand out the loot.

It's definitely possible to win the fight without doing anything, as I've done it myself. It's risky, though. When Satele Shan gets taken out (like she, and she alone, always does), you lose the massive HP buff from her battle meditation. If you get bad luck on the timing, you can subsequently take enough damage during the orbs phase to die. It doesn't always happen, but it happens regularly enough that I usually just do the stupid orbs and then go back AFK.

Regardless, though, I completely agree that the fight is terrible. It was an interesting idea, and I love it from the perspective of the narrative, but the gameplay execution is just totally lacking. I mean, it says a lot that the boss that the expansion is named after can be beaten while AFK.

Is it really necessary to spend half the fight on your back or floating in the air due to force choke and knockdowns? I mean it's at least every 10 to 15 seconds he spams one of those attacks.

A quote I often use in MMOs...

Tedium is not difficulty.
Agreed.

You never have to do it at all unless you want to finish the story line and don't chose the op route. So after doing it once (if you go that route), you never have to do it again.

If the encounter does not live up to your lofty "standards," don't do it. "Problem" solved.

Wrong. You need to complete the solo mode of Revan even if you choose to do the ToS operation. All the operation replaces is the one round of Yavin dailies plus the random bosses.

Which would not be a problem if Ziost didn't require completing the SoR storyline, but it does and I agree having to run all of my alts through a tedious, unchallenging stunfest is not fun. At least make saber throw stun stationary, that'd reward players who move out of it.
