SWTOR - IPP Ops for the week of 2/21-2/27

Please post your Character/role/availability for this week. With the success we have had in Eternal Vault and Karagga's Pallace, we will probably try through SOA this week(hopefully it is fixed) and at least the first three bosses in Karagaa's with more attempts at the 4th boss provided we have a second tank.

Milora - rDPS
available:
Thur, Fri, Sun 7pm to 11pm server

Rantin can spec back to pure tank if we need him to.

If Rantin can come to the party:) that'd be just fine:)

Pex has Natalya and Zera (healer and tank) at level 50 but clearly can't play both at once.

There's one other tank i know of at least that's been on at 50, and another i last saw at 49, but i havn't seen either on during a raid time yet.

We found that in normal karagaas and in hard EV a 2nd actual tank is really really helpful or needed. Cerebus' assassin just couldn't stand up long enough with aggro on the fabricator droid to live until my stacked debuff fell off.

More good armor upgrades across the guild can only help with raid survivability too i guess. So a couple more normal raids for next couple weeks looks like.

I just read the latest Q&A list. It sounds like they are working quite a bit on tuning and some patience is just required. 16 man should even become viable/desirable soon as they continue to work on tuning. Also workin on some healer tunes it sounds like. I liked their explaination of the taunt ability and what exactly it does too.. helps a lil bit to know.

I'm available any evening after reset, even Fri and Sat evenings.

Natalya and Zera (Heals, Tank) are only available late during the week, 11pm server and on.

Brigham - BH dps - available Tuesday, Thursday, Friday. Saturday is uncertain at this point. 7PM - 11PM server time.

I should be able to make most days 8pm server til whenever.

What if we start alternativing EV and Kraggas between Thursday and sunday evenings? Those times keeping anyone from being able to attend at least 1 a week most weeks till we have enough toons we can throw together extras on other nights?

I suggest lets go ahead and schedule for Thursday 8pm EST server time again. Seems like a hit based on the last 2 weeks and everyone above that listed times seems good with it.

So this Thursday lets do Karagaa's Palace then.

Also, if there are extra DPS, if neccesary I will give my spot up since I have gotten most of the token drops for Bounty Hunters.(too bad I selected the wrong set the first time, oh well) I just want to make sure no one is feeling left out and everyone gets a chance to gear up. Also after Monday I will be out of town on vacation for a week and a half so will miss a couple Ops anyways.

As long as we have two tanks, should work. If not, EV.

edit: is it just me or did they not patch today? bastages...no SoA fix.

I'm in.
Gotta put that vacation to good use while it lasts.

Kaine - BH tank - available any night this week/weekend except Friday.

Dammit! I wanna try healing a powertech tank...

Oh, and the patch should be today, so hopefully SOA is neutered.....or at least less buggy...

Operations

Eternity Vault

Casting Mind Trap will no longer cause Soa to lose threat against his primary target.

Karagga's Palace

G4-B3 Heavy Fabricator now has fewer hit points in Normal Mode.

Yeah the Soa one is a nice fix

I laughed a bit seeing that after all the ops runs I saw forming last night on Fleet.

The one for Karaagga's Palace is interesting too, I wonder how many less hp.

Was 2.1mil HP Now 1.824mil HP

Some people are reporting that Soa is not fixed. Supposedly an old bug that can cause him to reset is back.

Now if only we can get the mechanic for the Heavy Fabricator down and have a second tank:)

Well if nothing else, the first four bosses/encounters for EV can be used to get gear for people and hopefully soon we can start doing those fights on hard mode once more people are geared up in T1/T2 pieces.

I will hopefully be on at 7 server if anyone wants to do a quick HM BT before the Op.

We had another fun operation raid tonight. Killed the first 3 in Hutt Palace again and got lots of good learning practice on the fabricator fully understanding the fight...lot of people learned how to play towers of hanoi tonight lol....personally i had no idea before what that was:P lol.

We had lots of fun, got some loots, did another weekly operation quest yadda yadda.

Cya'll Sunday 8pm EST for EV normal again.

SoA has other bugs again now but we'll do our best anyhow assumin we get another full raid sunday evening.

To all IPP members, it is important if you wish to participate in OPs to let us know as soon as these threads go up, your availability for the Ops. The other important part is that if you sign up, that you are on time, repaired and have any stims/other consumables you may need during the Ops. Or communicate to us if you are going to be late, or unable to make it after. That way we are not wasting everyone's time and get to the lootz quicker!

We would prefer it if you watch videos/familiarize your self with boss fights before the Ops, but we understand everyone is busy and can't always pull themselves away from the game long enough to research;-) If you need help doing dailies quests for gear ups or Daily Hard modes, if I'm available I'll be happy to volunteer to help.

I apologize if this came out harsh, it is not meant to be. I want to see this guild succeed at Ops, hell, I would love to be able to do Ops on Hard Mode and even Nightmare mode down the road!

Be there tonight btw
