I had a to fight without companion and i got demolished, i was 6 levels above the area, gear up to date, but that apparently doesn't matter bc of level sync

 

I'm starting to hate this game, I'm only doing story content but i'm not enjoying it at all because of the arbitrary difficult fights, i've been doing side quests just to be overleveled so i can have an easy time doing the story, yeah...

 

I'm playing a juggernaut, what can i do to ensure i wont die even if i dont have a companion, i'm willing to accept fights with trash taking 2 min if i wont take damage, can i achieve independence and play the game how i want?

 

I usually don't mind playing with a companion but sometimes i just want them to **** off and there are some fight's where they are incapacitated and i get rolled

What content were you trying to do?

 

I'm not trying to be rude -- there's just no way any solo content should be that difficult, even without your companion, so something on the player end is going on here..

class story, fought the masters on tatooine then the jedi on padawan ship, without a companion, got rolled, mostly because no way to heal, except the medpac, but the cooldown is too high and healing to low

Honestly, the Toxic Bombs H2, today, "felt" a tad "harder" than normal.

I even used my toon with augmented 326 and a level 50 companion set to heal.

 

The 8 mobs just lasted longer against my merc today than what I remember last week.

When you say you "HAD to" fight w/o a companion, which part of the story were you doing?

It's been awhile since I went through ALL of the class stories, but there's only 1 that I specifically remember the companion being out of the picture. It's a Sith Warrior story. if you're referring to that mission, you should take the silver mob out first, then work on the gold mob. The first time I did that, I didn't do that, and died pretty fast.

i finished chapter 1, turns out immortal skills are better for dps and aoe (at least at low lvl) and i changed all my enchantments to shield and defense ones, it's better now and i don't notice any difference in dps, level synch is so stupid and frustrating

Ohh that mission for SW against the Jedi on Tatooine was tricky before 7.x, but it wasnt too bad because you have early access to stuns. I remember doing in before level sync, such a pain in the ***. Havent started any new toons since 7.x rolls, do you have any stuns at your level? Immortal should be fine for low level PVE; you might try just pure tank stats to see if you can survive. For defensive, I think you now only have Saber Ward? Have that activate early so you get defense chance and absorption, dont wait till 1/2 health because it doesnt heal you lol. Also, like someone mentioned, take out the Apprentice (silver mob) first before the Jedi Master (gold mob). Edited June 22, 2022 by afwhoefuwov

My first time through SW was before 2.0

I just jumped in, skipped the part of the story where the master said I'd fight w/o my companion, and died fast while attacking the master first.

even though I played since launch...I was in a rush.

It could have been the final class story of the 8 for me at the time.

Is it the part in the sith warrior questline in the hut on Tattooine where the master KO's your companion at the start of the fight ?

 

Stun the master and take the padawan down first.

 

Think it's the same for where they set up a trap for you in the ship where you think you're meeting with Jaesa. Always stun the other and kill the other non-stunned one first.

I usually walk out the door summon another companion than go back in and finish the mission

thanks, i already finished the main quest last night (when u get the title of darth)

 

i think what gets under my skin and low key pisses me off is that you can't really play without a companion, like the rest of the mmos out there

i blame level sync for this, if you get caught by 2 elites while your cooldowns are down it's gg (happened last night)

 

i really like star wars and this setting, but i don't think i'll be playing this game for too long, seems really unfun and too buggy, a shame really

lol..

 

would have never thought of that

Does anybody miss the old days when planets didn't have level scaling and the end bosses for class stories were actually a challenge?

 

IIRC, both Emperor and Darth Baras both had an attack that could basically one-shot you if it wasn't interrupted. You had to go into those fights prepared, and they made the class storyline conclusion far more satisfying.

I don't.

Not because of anything related to PVE, but because of the fact that you can't be "ganked" in open world pvp by players who are dramatically higher level than you.

 

Granted, it's not so much a concern now since you can choose to be in a pvp instance, or not . (for the most part...however the pvp objectives during the Gree event could be more lopsided w/o level sync even now if it were taken away).

I do actually. At least, make it so players can choose to turn level sync on or off for bosses. That should work for both crowds. It is very anti climatic when you kill Baras in 5 sec. The best I could do was going in naked without any armors and have companion on passive, even that is still anti climatic.

i'll have to agree with this one, baras was a joke, i had more difficulty with random trash mobs that i aggroed by mistake

level sync is so bad in this game

I'm not even joking leveling up recently and my companion takes more damage than he or she can chew than I lose a lot of health the companion can't keep the healing up for very long. It feels like you take way more damage than before. There were a few times I almost died because my companion by accident pulled in more enemies.

companions cannot aggro new mobs, he will engage only the ones that you aggroed

i think the only way to play solo is to focus your stats on shield, absorption and defense, otherwise you get demolished

Honestly, the Toxic Bombs H2, today, "felt" a tad "harder" than normal.

I even used my toon with augmented 326 and a level 50 companion set to heal.

You're doing Toxic Bombs wrong. Just run past the mobs, click four bombs, and then /stuck. Takes 30 seconds.

Probably didn't notice it was me that aggroed them then. As a side note I was a Juggernaut when I was doing this so I should have all the defense and helpful abilities I could possibly need. I still survived stuff but I definitely noticed that I lose health way more often than before and this is with having the proper accessories and modded gear for that level as well.
