Just one shot Athiss FP :)

[Mercbeast]

PT + 3 Operatives.

All the bosses were pretty easy. I used rifle shot with the Operatives probably 85% of the boss fights to make sure I had plenty of energy to keep up a 6x stack of Kolto Probe wherever I needed it.

Final boss, 6x probe whoever is dotted and blast away. During the fire phase, topped everyone up with the HOT and ran about like a chicken!

On the other hand, I wiped about 6 times to the final dude in Hammer station. Without the sorc shield, and the boss being uninterpretable made it virtually impossible to keep all the operatives alive through volleys and grenades.

Good job Merc. I thought Athiss was a pretty hard flashpoint, but pretty rewarding once I finished it. Just curious... what level is your team?

As far as hammer station goes - I'm pretty sure everyone wipes on that last boss at least 3 or 4 times before figuring him out.

[Mercbeast]

I started at 20, and dinged 21 on the Champion force users right before the boss.

My team is just really efficient for those endurance type fights. On the other hand, at 50 I am a little worried about how they will perform when enrage timers come into play.

for me lvl 18 was a good lvl for hammer station on my team, but last boss was easier for me then first for some reason kinda weird. Athiss is fun for sure. I think cademimu will be hardest for me upcomming

Chris -
How do you think that the damage reduction of your assassin is compared to that of say a power tech or guardian? I've just started my team of 4 inquisitors (1 sin, 3 sorcs). My only concern is that my 'sin tank won't be able to hold up as long as the other tanks due to light armor. I understand that I can put up a shield, but I can shield a power tech or juggernaut too. I'll be interested to hear how your team does at endgame hard modes. I had to gear up my vanguard pretty good before he could tank those hard mode bosses really well.

I will say this the first i'd say 30 levels assassin is probably going to be weaker then a pt or guardian, due to armor, but I believe after that lvl they usually are at pair or a little better. I believe in the end it is all about how you spec and your gear and how you play.

Mercbeast-
What is happening with your team? You still leveling the operatives? My inquisitor team is stalled out due to a broken class quest right now. I've been gearing out my republic team in the mean time. I can't get past the first zombie encounter in kaon yet but I think if I keep working at it I might be able to get it. Not much point though bc I already have the columi headgear for all my toons. I'm really hoping to be able to do lost island but I'm not holding out much hope.
