Tank takedown ( Merged thread)

Everyone in your guild needs to be able to do at least 2% damage in each phase.

Phase 1 35mil
Phase 2 75mil

I am sure it won't happen but I would like to see one of the guilds that completed a heroic tank try the normal, just to get a gauge of time frame.

Get it?

Is that Morse code?

While EA chose to call these two tiers "normal" and "heroic", their level of difficulty are effectively T8 and T9 compare to the existing pit raids. Mixed experience guilds that kill the heroic rancor raid if they breath too hard are struggling with the Heroic tank raid, and those same guilds would take at least a week of refreshes to beat the estimated 200 million hp of normal mode ( so far i only can see the 30+ million of the normal phase 1 my guild is grinding its way through, and am hearing reports from other forumites that phase 2 is 75 million)

Opening normal mode should have required a guild to beat heroic rancor raid, and unlocking heroic tank should have required completing normal tank. If a guild cant beat heroic rancor, they are going to have a normal mode raid that is a month long (possibly longer). It would be better for guild morale if EA saved those guilds from an endless grind by making these new raids unlockable in progression from heroic rancor - normal tank- heroic tank. Either that, or add additional lower tiers that those guilds can get through in a reasonable number of refreshes.

Lvl 85 will make it easier, but not bcuz of the slight increase in damage. U guys r looking at it wrong. It's not about what u do, but what u take. Look at a GW or LS/DS where the opponents are 10 levels below u. U hit them so much harder, every debuff sticks etc. Now do similar fight where the lvl difference is half of that. You dont hit them as hard and not all debuffs stick.

As your lvl increases, the amount of damage u take and the amount of debuffs that stick will go down.

Personally, I prefer a challenge. Having to spend a week working on Tier 6 at the beginning only means more content to me, and it will make things that much more rewarding once my guild actually unlocks General Kenobi.

No easier tier. It's tough and that's a good thing.

It will be a while before my guild can beat heroic.

Basically, once you have all the toons at 7 star and all the best mods, it will be a breeze and you can get the most OP toon in the game after 3 months. Until then, normal mode over a week or two will have to suffice. I expect to see 7 star kenobi's in my shard possibly around this time next year. Can't wait.

There is a difference between monotonous and challenging.
