My team will hit 50 soon. Does any 4-boxer already have some experience with heroics?
I did my first Heroic the other night. Empire's Black Talon. It was a joke. I found it easier on heroic than I did on normal back at levels 10-15. Mainly because back then, I didn't have interrupts and now I do. I kill the captain because the robot boss is easier than the group of 4 jedi boss. Stand there and tank and spank AOE. It will be dead before more than three or four of the adds arrive, and you can just heal through their little explosions.
The boss that drops the AOE fire droids is interruptable. If you can interrupt those, its just another stand there and dps him down.
Optional boss is easy. Just interrupt the machine gun fire and its more stand there and dps it down. put the tank against the wall so he's still in range from the knock backs. Even still he hits hard and fast so be ready to use your tanking cool downs/relics and a medpack, but if you don't interrupt I doubt you can kill him as a fresh 50's group. Juggernauts have 5 tanking cooldowns from 10-20 seconds in length each. If you space them about 10 seconds after each one finishes, you can pretty much chain them. It's ridiculous.
Final boss is a joke. Pew pew then hit your strafe button when she pulls you in just like you do on normal.
Having a good setup is key. Easy to heal, round robin interrupts, minor movement abilities. Others, I dont know how you would do by yourself like the Colicoid war games.
I pull the robot boss to that pillar close to the stairs and LoS him so he comes to me.. the little bots never reach me..he dies ( this is the lower level version.. I'm sure it works for HM as well )Quote:

Not all flash points have a hardmode, most of them are pretty easy tank and spank with hardly any movment at all the only one I could se being hard is kaon first encounter with a turret other then that cake. Black talon, false emp, boarding party, foundry, bttle for ilum directive 7 kaon have hardmodes

i thought i hit the edit button!
I'd say boarding party first boss is difficult. It requires a lot of movement, isnt it? Also false emp 2nd boss will require some movement, but rather easy to do that. D7 last boss also has a lot of movement, I'd say.
I finished BT HC today with 3 fresh lvl 50 DD sorcs who have a few points in healing tree. For the last boss I'd recommend to not tank her close to the slaves. Because when she pulls the slaves and if they are very close their casts are not interrupted and strafing wont work :)
the first real boss, the one with the bh ship is a joke you just park your healer and range dps in the center turret and just keep shooting the ship everytime it comes back. I just set up a round robin intrupt on flame sweep and you never have to move.Quote:

Probably I will go back to BT hc and wait a few more months until Bioware focus on bugfixing (if they ever will).Quote:

I watched a few videos and other groups were not getting one shotted by this ability, but loosing around 30-60% of their hp if it got off. Aside from interrupting that one ability, the fight was a simple tank and spank. He had no other real ability so you could just stack there and run back if you took the knockback. Makes healing easy, heal tank, aoe, heal tank, aoe....
Anyone tried to 4-box boarding party? I just cant beat HXI-54 Juggernaut... It would already be much easier if I the lightning were a little bit easier to interpret. Its so hard to figure out where the lightning actually is (even when I am playing 1 char only)
Maybe I need at least a 2nd monitor for it.
Well, after some tries at the first boss and failing to the lightning I discovered a bug (or a feature :cool:). The first boss wont reset as long as someone got aggro on him and he doesnt have an enrage timer.
So what I did was parking 1 toon around the first corner and zerg him down with my dps. Just zone in after you died and jump him again. As long as your toon stands around the corner it wont get hit and the boss will not reset. As I said he has no enrage timer so you have all the time in the world to do it. This is what worked for me... I call it tactic not exploit. Moderators feel free to delete my post if you think stuff like this should not be posted.
But finaly I wasnt able to handle the last battle with the 3 bosses at the bridge. You cant tank the one to the left and boxing while he is jumping your slaves one by one realy suxx. Maybe I just need better gear for it and dps him down real fast... not sure atm.
Another info on BT. Im able to 2 box BT with tank/healer combo and 2 dps companions. Needed to buy some better equip for the dps but now it works smooth. Not sure if you could 2 box with an other setup than tank/healer.
Edit: of course Im talking about heroic mode on both boarding party and BT. Just to make this clear.
