What tier or tiers did you play?
Our guild has done T4, T5, and T6. We started with a T6 and quickly figured out we shouldn't bother with Heroic. We've mostly been running T4. We just did a T5 this week to see how much worse it was.

What teams you did you attempt the raid with?
I've tried running Jedi, Phoenix Squad, Empire (Palpatine lead and Thrawn lead), Resistance, Rebels, First Order, Droids, and just teams of random characters.

What part of the raid motivated or demotivated you to continue trying?
I literally cannot do damage with Nihilus with most of my teams. Even when I can it's minimal. Even when things DO work, Nihilus just randomly does or doesn't use his annihilate when he should. Meaning that Phases 1 and 4 are completely random. The extra tenacity in each phase basically rules out Resistance and Palpatine lead Empire teams, which are two of my three best teams. My rebels team using Commander Luke Skywalker, Biggs, Wedge, Lando, and ST Han or raid Han is literally the only team that can put up anything resembling damage in most phases. The entire raid feels like I'm slowly just getting ground to a pulp while making no progress. Everything feels tuned around 3 teams that all need to be G12. My characters that are G10 die fast and do little to no damage. My G12 toons are all debuff reliant, which means they're useless against the bosses 100% tenacity.

What about the raid did you enjoy? What did you dislike about the raid?
Anihilus ignoring protection was a neat idea. It makes healers useful and wasn't completely degenerate. The cycle of pain debuff in Phase 2 was fun to manage. Phase 2 is hands down my favorite part. Managing damage out versus your damage in was a neat idea. Phase 3 is annoying, but manageable. The bonds of weakness thing isn't really fun, but doesn't make me want to throw my phone either. It feels balanced in P3.
Phase 1 and Phase 4 are completely and utterly degenerate. Nihilus is nearly impossible to damage with his protection. It's completely unnecessary mechanic that makes an already bad phase worse. The annihilate is completely inconsistent. I've had it come off cooldown and him not use it. Repeatedly.
Phase 4 is just a mess of mechanics. You have all the terribleness of Nihilus with bonus stuff to make it even harder. It's completely silly. Traya is frustrating on her own, but doable. Having all the mechanics thrown together is just horrible. It's impossible to manage and requires basically just out gearing and powering through it. Everything just piles up and stacks way, way too fast. It's far too punishing.
