Refusing To Be A Fail-Enabler During Double XP Weekend — 7 Comments

  1. I got in a bit of time on the Old Man, my Scoundrel that I deliberately made gray haired because I was on the same server my kids play on. Got him past Nar Shadda, through Tatooine, and halfway through Alderaan, which stops in Athiss and Mandalorian Raiders along the way. Considering he’s around 33-34 and plenty to go on Alderaan, I foresee smooth sailing to the end of Chapter One and through Balmorra.

  2. Ran through the new tactical flashpoints a few times on various characters. Both of them are pretty entertaining and (mostly) a fair level of challenge, a step up from the old Czerka ones. I appreciate that story-central dungeons are now coming out as tacticals that anyone can easily hop in and do.

    But man, those Sith Juggernaut pulls that bring in a bunch of adds hiding behind them… they are brutal. Especially when it’s three sentinels and a gunslinger so you have no CC and no heals. As the gunslinger I ended up tanking the jugg by slowing him until he ran up, then stun, then shield while he whales on me a bit, then knock back, then slow him, then knock back again… it works for a little while, but lordy does it go faster when you have a Sage around who can just lift him and be done with it.

    • When there’s a healer around, people don’t have any respect for CC! I stopped bothering to CC after a while and focused on healing people who had no business pulling entire rooms.

      • Or, worse, see the mob that’s _not_ attacking, and decide that this _clearly_ makes them their priority 1 target. I’ve forgotten how many times, with a Smuggler, in the KDY ‘shut down the cannons’ last room, on the left of the right side where there’s a Strong droid standing apart from a group of regular mobs, I’ve used Slice Droid on the droid… and five seconds later had J. Random Trooper start lobbing grenades into him.

  3. The classic “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” scenario that all PuG-healers must face sooner or later.

    It’s why I don’t do more than dabble in Merc-healing despite finding it enjoyably challenging, with a really cool and fun dynamic.

    My last few DXP weekends have been amazingly incident-free, though; Well except for PvP, but the men in the stylish white coats tell me that the shaking will stop. Eventually.

    It’s the next several days after DXP that, IME, are the most grating: Bads gonna bad no matter what we do, but now, more of them have access to content that they really have no business even attempting.

  4. That’s probably the thing annoys me the most.. People who are doing something clearly wrong AND being pigheaded about it.. So many people blaming “the other guy” in PUG’s…
