How does one resist a thermal detonator?

Not that you cant use magma/deathtrooper, ns or a visas+massive non dot damage
Problem is that younger guilds do not have those handful of good combinations working...and this makes this blatant hp pool a nightmare for those guilds. If you have a complete roster, than surely you can use the super combos to do 5m+ damage...

The Sith raid simply doesnt work below tier 7. Yes its fine that this one is very difficult - but below it should be greatly reduced hp level to fit more in line to the guilds actually playing it (they simply have no deathtrooper, rey and mostly no ns or visas). Developers should think till the end and not just produce some nasty big hp pools which require very specific groups to beat it (last tier can have a high skill check np), level 1 - level 6 should be more relaxed...

To be fair my BH were doing garbage damage but whenever a TD went off it was serious damage

After gearing and modding my bounty hunters a bit more, i feel this issue is really going to hold the team back in any raid setting.

I modded my Dengar to 70% potency, and sent the team into the raid. Dengar's aoe now is supposed to apply TDs to random enemies based on # of Bounty Hunter allies. I ensure that Nihilus is not touched by damage until Dengar's turn, and then use his aoe. Every single DT is resisted by nihilus every attempt i tried. The mechanic is garbage, and needs to be fixed. what is odd is that after hitting nihilus once, or even twice, other Detonators (greedo, Zam, and JE) are not resisted, only Dengar (who has the most potency of all 4 after mods)

They had a cold and the thermal detonator didn’t sense hear :P

DN has stacking tenacity if you hit him (50%). Dengar has to be the first one to hit him after DN takes a turn, otherwise insane Tenacity gets in the way

Guilds doing T6 and lower have no deathtroopers or JTRs?

We're 70m GP, been doing T4 for weeks and now trying T5 again, and we've got plenty of DT, plenty of NS, and a handful of JTR.

If your guild can't handle the current tier, get farming. Or move down a tier. Or both.

If the lower tiers were relaxed like you want, it would just be a second HAAT. We already have a HAAT. I'm thankful this is something new, and it works just fine.

that would be a dodge! dodging is completely fine for TDs!

Dengar was the first to hit him. and either way, there should always be a base 15% chance to apply a debuff which this raid seems to ignore

What? There's no such thing as a base chance to debuff.

ah, its only a base chance to resist of 15%. still my original post is valid here
