Been thru Voss 3 times - IT. NEEDS. REBALANCING.

People don't want advice, they want the game made even easier.

Find someone your level and group up.

Toughness starts to ramp up on Belsavis and the amount of work you do to get XP also ramps up on this planet and gets worse all the way to Ilum quests.

I find when an NPC is kicking my butt I need to watch their cast abilities to see what they are doing to me or themselves, in almost all cases it comes down to stopping those cast as much as possible to make the fight winnable, regardless of your gear, skills, buffs, and stims.

To be honost I like the "toughness" of the planet as I breeze through the other planets far too quickly because the NPCs have the challanging aspects of watching grass grow most of the time.

Although Voss says 44-47 level range I think most who have issues should try hitting the planet at 47 or 48, you will have an easier time of it. I've seen some folks hit it at 42-44 (I have before on toons in beta) and it's a lot tougher.

The only problem I had with Voss was with the Avatar of Sel-Makor (I think that's what it's called). That mob is just not sorc friendly at all. Constant spamming of force abilities followed by an obligatory deathgrip.

Had to get a friend to help me with that one. Other than that I was at the right level and found it reasonable, not easy.

Yeah, OP, something is off with your tale of woe.

I, too, do all of the quests including bonus missions and bonus series. By doing so I hit 50 on Voss. Corellia and Ilum are pure gravy for my characters. Voss is the planet I ding 50 on. I'm at least 2 to 3 levels above the mobs I am fighting on any planet past Nar Shadaa.

You are missing something.

Hmmm, I've done Voss with a Balance Shadow and a Gunnery Commando recently and I don't recall any particular hard quest elite boss. Found a brickwall on Ilum, for some reason my Jedi Shadow was able to kill Darth Arho easily (must have since I don't recall that fight at all on my Shadow) while my Trooper so far has been totally unable to get rid of him, but I don't honestly recall any major problem in Voss.-

i don't mind advice. i am past it now anyway, we'll see how hard it is on this toon i'm playing now when i get there. but i never once asked to make the battle easier, i was only pointing out that, that battle was hard for me. making that statement. doesn't result in me asking for the game to be made easier.

and all advice is welcome. its the best reason to come on forums i believe, and and to learn of new features

Do what most of the posters suggest. Get someone to help, breeze through the rest and get to 50 where you can read how there's nothing to do in the game.

It's one thing if the game is designed quest-wise, to teach you how to interrupt, cc, etc. the entire time you're questing. It's another to go through 90% of the game and suddenly get your *** kicked.

Man, this community is fail.

Just finished Voss on my Powertech and had very little problems with anything.. even that avatar of whatever was easy. I remember having a harder time on my Marauder though.

I wonder what it's like to be this bad.

Voss is easy, beat it with my 46 Guardian no problemo.
