Changed how?

Our guild took weeks to beat Rancor heroic. It took us a month for Tank heroic.

We cleared heroic Sith from day one.

This is by far the easiest raid at launch. We already are putting in rules because we clear it too fast for everyone to record a 0.

You don't think it has anything to do with the progress you've made as a guild between the time you cleared the Rancor and now?

"By far the easiest raid at launch" is both relative and subjective.

Nope.

All kinds of guilds are clearing Heroic Sith right now. Dozens, probably over 109.

Weeks into Heroic Tank you could count them all on one hand.

nvm, going round in circles.

Gear xiii and level 90 will nerf the Sith raid. No harm giving the game space to grow.

No way, his entire guild has the exact same rosters as 2 years ago.

I went to bed with my guild entering p2 Sith Heroic. I woke up in 4. I slept for 6 hours. Phase 4 lasted about 2 hours. We're not even a "Top Guild" - several f2p long-time players and a few whales. Most of us are just guppies who have played since launch.

It's end-game content. It's supposed to be hard if you've only been playing for a year or less. I think it's WAI.

Get more sleep!
Good for the body.
But not too much!

Just checking in to see if the devs have decided to change the raid to make actually enjoyable.

Keep an eye out for various viable teams for the raid. Videos and posts are popping up everywhere. There are quite a few reports of viable tier 6 teams composed of farmable toons or legendary toons, that have been around for a while. JC, JE, GAT, FOO, Hera f.ex. for phase 1.

If his basic attack dispels any buffs it reduces the cooldown of Drain Force AND Annihilate by 1. So if Annihilate is on a cooldown of 1, he uses his basic and strips any buffs, the cooldown is reduced immediately and he can use annihilate. When that's the case try to make sure someone uses the shield skill while they have a buff so he's forced to attack them, and then annihilate. If the person with the shield skill isn't buffed, but others are you're kinda screwed. At that point just retreat and let RNG take you away yet again.

Now, I didn't say this was enjoyable, just pointing out that Annihilate isn't random. Phase 1 is just a huge turn-off to most guilds that aren't extremely competitive, while I like that they've started making more use of raid mechanics with the Sith Raid, P1 is much more difficult to manage than the others which is rather annoying.

Thank you. I was missing that piece of info.

I’m enjoying this raid thoroughly! Almost a little disappointed that it is this easy.. but, at some point it’s be impossible to create a raid that is tough enough. I still enjoy competing with my guild mates for the better scores

A complaint that I've been seeing a lot is that so many people find the raid tedious that their guilds are not participating or just putting in teams and tapping "Auto".

The raid may be doable in its current form, but if it isn't fun, then this game kinda fails as a game. Games are supposed to be fun, that's kinda their entire purpose.
