Can't beat Malak lightside

Hi all! Another malak event question. I've read through the strategies (though always open to hearing thoughts). Basically I've been putting 2 stack of armor shred on the droids and then as many as possible on Malak (most I've got is 7) and then hitting him with all I've got once Jedi pods are down. Been trying for probably 9 hours now, and just want to know if anyone has suggestions, or are my toons just not good enough?

    Ahnald just released a guide a few hours ago which seems to work pretty well.

    The downside, of course, is that you have to listen to Ahnald talk.

    Well, for what it's worth, I'm not sure any stacks of Shred beyond 4 do anything. Each stack is -25% and I don't think Defense can go negative.

    Also, are you allowing him to absorb the Crit Immunity tank? If you don't, he'll fear you every time you land a crit which makes it basically impossible to kill him before he drains you to death.
  • Thank you for not posting another "I'm going to quit" or "this game sucks" post about this, and instead genuinely looking for help. Hope you get him. I never attacked Malak until I got the shreds on him, then made sure all the jedi were gone and went ham. It wasn't too bad, and make sure he sucks up that crit immunity guy,. I also saved the tenacity Jedi for last. never used JKR's AOE. I saw other guides talking about doing that. I just slowly worked down the droids over and over again, made Zaal really really fast. its important to get him going. good luck!
  • Shred goes on malak. Leave Malak alone otherwise. After 5 shreds, kill malak. Also make sure you kill captive jedi -don'tlet malak absorb them.
  • I've been letting him take the tenacity one, but that's it. Otherwise I get too much fear. Still plugging away, but I've changed some of the mods around, and it seems to be helping, generally.
  • Yes that helps a lot and when u get him half way down RNG takes over. I tried so many times and finally got him by luck. I had 6 armor shreds and zaalbar and mission both had no zeta
