No actually it isn't the original complaint was that the fight was to easy and that BW tried to make it appear harder then it really is by loading Revan up with a crap ton of knockdowns and stuns which in the end makes the fight obnoxious not hard.

One of the absolute worst, laziest examples of utter **** game design from incompoWare, which is saying something. But then, comically excessive CC is a thing in this game, and always will be, sooooo....yeah.

You can literally AFK this whole fight except for the orb-running parts (Just did it a few days ago to see if I could. And did.)

What an intellect-insulting joke.

Add me to the pile of people that loathe the fight due to all the gratuitous CC. If it was a group encounter I could see it, because then players could coordinate and rotate out who CC's what and when. But as a single player fight it's just silly. Especially given the fact that the CC has no effect whatsoever on your chances of success/failure, since as has been proven by folks that regularly AFK it, you can't fail it at all.

For you, the OP and anyone else who finds it too tedious, don't do it. "Problem" solved. I find raiding tedious, so guess what? I don't do it.

Or would y'all be happy if they put in a button labeled "Click here to defeat Revan?" Would that be simple enough?


You do understand that the point of this quest is to allow non-raiders to finish the storyline, right? After that, it's an entirely optional weekly. Hey, if it's too non-epic you, run the op instead.
Or, they could have dome what game designers with talent try to do, and make it solo'able, but actually dynamic, fun, and challenging.

Tedium =/= challenge. What part of this is so hard to understand?

This fight is especially piss-poor on a Merc, because our interruption's cooldown was quadrupled compared to what it used to be, because clueless, completely out-of-touch, second-rate devs just decided "reasons."

Most of the companions I care about already have their ilvl192 Devoted Allies mainhands, so I won't need to do it too much more often, but one of these times, I'm actually going to time it on my stopwatch, length of dull semi-interactive movie --pardon: Fight-- vs. length of time stunned/CC'ed/otherwise completely unable to do anything.

Brilliant *********** game-design, I say. Brilliant!

Try actually reading what is written next time.

I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

I am so sick of the stun mechanic! It's over used in, I think, EVERY MMO, & the Revan fight is the worst. Not hard, but so annoying. Why do they all do this? This one is more annoying in that if you use your 'get out of stun free' ability, he promptly does it to you again, so you're stuck there, lying on your back, while nothing really happens. Just - irritating! It feels like a developer cut & paste ability, carried over from every MMO ever. (If there's one that hasn't over-utilized this mechanic, I'd like to hear about it!)

The only time I've died in this fight is when it bugged out on me. (I lagged out and when I got back in, everybody that wasn't my comp or Revan disappeared.) I agree the amount of stuns are excessive and that they need to dial them back a notch.

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.

Revan is interruptible.
If that's still not enough, well, sucks for you, buddy.
