I bet most players just go in, get it done, get out, get their comms and move on to the next thing without a second thought.
I know I don't think much of it when I do it. I even start making fun of the random dialogue that get's thrown around when I do it with friends.

Tedious.
Difficult.


Also, tried the suggestion of taking a tank companion, and it's far less tedious. No easier (it really couldn't be), just less tedious.

Perhaps the title should have been "Can you please make Revan less stun happy?"

Because that is the main complaint, that he is so blasted happy stunning us all into not doing anything while the other NPCs beat him into most of a pulp. And evidence shows that those NPCs don't even need the PC for anything more than the bubble challenge.

Maybe throughout the battle, Revan stuns one of the NPCs so we have to get the correct bubble to break said stun, and then has the big bubble-stun for the NPCs that we run around doing that we already have. Add a little more mechanic than "use the one interrupt you have because Revan can't be stunned himself, and then sit through the two other stuns, or just run around rocks".

But what should I expect? This was a rushed expansion so that the PR folks could say "SEE? We gave an expansion in 2014, as we said we would!"

EDIT: This suggestion would still be easily done by the most casual of casuals, because the NPCs don't really need us to fight, and this way, we still can hit him, he can still stun us, but there is more we can do (like a chance to lose NPC help for longer than 5 seconds). And we could even make a challenge out of it by letting Revan stun everyone so we fight him by ourselves.

I don't mind stuns, at least they act as some distraction in that epitome of tedium. But whole six minutes of watching Satele Shan spin next to Darth Marr while your companion whacks at invulnerable Revan gets old really goshdarn fast. And it seems I cannot go AFK for entire duration of fight, because went back once straight into the "Satele incapacitated, Jakarro dead, and hey look, now so are you" situation. Seriously, whoever thought that six minutes of doing absolutely nothing in the middle of a fight is a good idea is heading for a personal corner in hell where there's nothing but infinite freshly painted wall.

They are the same thing because something hard in difficulty will make you feel tired/fatigued afterwords because of how tedious it is. So thank you for helping to prove me right.

He does seem to get his jollies telling others he is putting them on ignore. I think he has ... issues.

On my sin, I was able to successfully block his force choke for a while. When I saw it coming on, if I had force shroud ready to go I could pop that and then it would block his force choke completely.

For whatever reason, this has been removed. I swear it worked though. But I just tried it last week and it doesn't work anymore

Resilience still works. I know of some attacks that shroud is broken for, would have to look at it, but this could be one of them.

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.
This....makes me look really bad in front of Theron.
