[HARD] The Foundry - Revan bugged?


Recommended Posts

Has anyone else tried out Revan on hardmode?

 

He kept oneshotting people as soon as he starts channeling Force Lightning after he switches to Dark Side at 50% hp.

 

We were able to interupt Force Lightning after the first tick - the problem is that it does a tick as soon as he starts channeling and this tick does 20k damage. Our tank can survive the first tick with Invincible and Saberward, however if we survive the first tick and interupt before the second, then he immidiately starts channeling Force Lightning again on another target and oneshots that target instead.

We beat Revan on Hardmode today, but the Encounter still seems bugged. The Force Lightning needs to be interrupted multiple times and before its first tick of damage. Even then, you need a tank who can survive at least the initial damage, which is something like 18k of damage or so.

 

Still, the game does not reward the group with the appropriate Hardmode achievement and the flashpoint also does not count towards the hardmode weekly.

 

Seems to me like one of the mistuned Encounters that are out there currently and need to get properly adjusted by Bioware.

As of today the boss is indeed killable with high dps.

 

We initially wiped due to one-shots/bug on our first pull when the boss was almost dead. Drastically upped our dps on the 2nd pull and killed him no problem.

 

Overall it was 2 minutes from start to finish.

 

Also, hardmode achievement/completion and loot worked.

What party setup did you run and with what gear?

Revan Bugged for us Last night.

 

From my googlefu it seems that if you bring revan Below 10% hp while he is doing a channeled spell (force storm/lightning/falling rocks) it bugs.

 

we died, reset him stopped dps @ 11% and brought him under 10% after his channelling had stopped, worked fine.

 

so perhaps its something similar for hardmode, perhaps just dont dps when channelling is happening :/

Just tried, still instantkills everything. Not fixed.

True that he is still bugged, we however managed to kill him with only losing 1 person. Tank didnt have any problems with surviving by using CDs and we only had 1 phase of force lightning due to high DPS pushing him into the rock throw phase and then onto immunity blow up before the 2nd force lightning phase hit

Killed him with tank speccing dps.

setup:

Operative - healer (me)

Mercenary - dps

Juggernaut - dps

Juggernaut - dps (tank gear)

 

Tank got one shot and again after combat ress but he had only 14.5k hp.

Healing gets harder at the end, at the beginning i was able to do some dps.

You can use your anti movement impairing spell on the cc he casts on random player, the lifting thing.

Just tried to do this. We were not able to beat him. Group was:

 

Tank: Juggernaut

DPS1: Marauder

DPS2: Mercenary

Healer: Operative (me)

 

Contrary to some of the other reports in this thread, he is indeed still bugged and one shots people (instant 20-25k damage) at ~35%. The tank was able to survive the first cast by popping all of his cooldowns, but subsequent attacks instantly killed whoever it was used on.

 

The first "tick" of damage is dealt before the channeling bar is even visible - meaning that, for us, even with a perfect interrupt, the target was going to get hit at least once for 20k damage or so, which was more than enough to kill the person instantaneously with no chance of recourse.

 

Conceivably, if your DPS is high enough, you should be able to simply zerg him down with battle rez before the group wipes. Regardless, the fight is clearly not working as intended.

If you carefully watch his animation you can see him casting the spell, the cast bar appears 1-2 seconds later.

 

If you see him waving his hands around as if he was about to cast something - use your interrupt ability.

 

We just killed him using that information.

 

Nevertheless, the bug is very annoying.

Which hard mode flashpoints aren't bugged?

 

So far, 2 out of 3 hm flashpoints I've tried are unfinishable.

 

Which ones are bugged because at this point we've cleared all of them, and the only ones that are even remotely difficult are the Boarding Party final boss, and Revan.

 

Some of them are just a tad overtuned with the enrage timers making it a bit hard if your DPS isn't good.

 

If you really can't handle it, Black Talon is super easy, False Emp is pretty easy too. Directive 7 is a tad harder.

Directive 7 is a tad harder.

 

Be careful with Directive 7. It has a real high bug rate that makes the boss unable to kill. With that in mind, the only two Hard Mode Flashpoints that are either broken to the point of no completion or just dang near impossible are Foundry and Directive 7. And while Boarding Party can be difficult (as it's a great DPS check on that final boss fight), it is more than doable. The other three FPoints are cake-walks by comparison.

He's very killable, just have your healer dps and do the interrupt early with tank cds popped.

 

Achievement and daily HM flashpoint work too.

 

Farmable boss is farmable.

Cleared all of them, they are fun and better/harder than WoW heroics but they're by no means unfinishable.

I don't really get how you're doing it. Our tank has like 20,5k hp, timed all CD perfectly and still took a 22k hit before anyone could even see a castbar. What are we doing wrong ? do we just need to know exactly when the cast is about to come and pre-empt it with an interrupt ?

The fight is almost certainly not working as intended. Main thing to know is that from the time he switches to Dark Side of the Force (starts with a weak AoE force lightning, at around 45% for us), his timer starts ticking down towards doing his zomg insane damage. There's no buff indicator, I just pop all cds when he's at around 33% (your mileage may vary based on your group dps), wait to eat one hit for about 20k and interrupt INSTANTLY when that tick hits. It's the most reliable way to interrupt the attack.

 

That should cover it - at that point he should be back to normal. From there, straight-up burn, avoid boulders and kill. Minor additional bug to note: he goes immune to damage at low single-digits and is supposed to 'end' the encounter and disappear... but can sometimes go immune to damage yet stay in combat, thus proceeding to roflstomp your team invincibly. Good times! :D

Have killed this fight a couple times on hard mode with the bugged lightning.

 

At around 42-44%, Revan will start to cast Force Storm.

At around 34-36%, Revan will start his first Force Lightning

 

When Force Storm finishes, have your tank wait around 3-4 seconds, then pop all of his cooldowns and get a pre-shield if you're running with a sorc. When he gets hit by Force Lightning, he should survive the first tick giving you enough time to interrupt. From here on out, you need to burn cooldowns to get him down to 20% for the final phase. You do have some leeway in a 2nd Force Storm, but anytime past that is risking catching a 2nd Force Lightning.

 

Once you reach 20%, the fight is pretty much a kill.

 

My take on the fight is that it is WAY too easy without the Force Lightning being "bugged". It could probably be working as intended :p

This guy has it right.

 

Here's our wipe video, it illustrates that it's indeed POSSIBLE to survive the first tick, but if not interrupted tank will die.
