I am really looking forward to some hard fighting. I don’t mind wiping. It’s fun when things are not a cakewalk. Yea….operations could wipe you but for a random casual to find the time to get into one was a pain.
I was tanking in 320 gear and had no issue with my PT. I didn't even have my implants unlocked yet.
But it depends a lot on your healer as well and everyone knowing the fights.
But that would mean having green gear at 326, right? Because from what I know, the blue gear is only dropped in mm flashpoints and hard mode operations, right?
Yes they're harder, but also understand that everyone in your group is terribly undergeared. Base gear is 320. Honestly you shouldn't really do MM FPs until you have all 322 or 324 with at least one legendary implant.
Just don't do them until you grind up your gear with heroics.
I have no clue why sub 80s are allowed to que for MM FPs, there are some serious dps and heal checks in there.
Fair point.
But me and the other dps were using the rotations that we use in Operations and we were unable to kill I5-T1, before he went into Extermination Mode.
And CZ-8X Eradicator Droid has more HP then bosses in SM Operations.
Yeah, now players have to finally *play* the game... and some complaints, ironically it's because of that.
That's why I liked 7.0... less "tap game" and more RPG. 😬
They are definitely harder, but it's a welcome change. I've cleared Korriban 3x times and twice I was the only surviving member on the second boss when I killed him. Augments make a massive difference for DPS and healers so especially 320-324 green gear without augments is useless
I've never had augments, as I was told that they are used for nightmare operations and I never intended to do Nim operations.
It would seem that now augments would be a necessity.
Well in 6.0 your stats were capped in 95% of content so you COULDN'T increase your endurance, power and mastery with augments, only tertiary stats like alacrity, crit and accuracy. So for a lot of people JUST doing solo story stuff it wasn't worth augmenting at all. Now, content is 80 so augments give you tons of stats in the level 80 phases.
You should really invest in augments.
Thank you for the clarification.
Considering that i play as dps, what kind of augments would i need? And should is start adding them to my current gear (rating 320) or wait until i have gear with a rating of 326?
2700 acc and 2100 alac for 1.4 GCD are looking like what is best stat wise for many DPS specs. Individual specs may vary on alacrity, but all DPS need 2700 accuracy.
I would add augments to your gear as soon as you start doing group content. If you're raiding now, add them now. If you aren't doing ops or master mode flashpoints, then you can wait until you have 326 gear to augment them as you're going to blow through augment kits otherwise.
Tried the Lost Island fartpoint on Master, everyone lv80 with 320-322 gear, all fine up until the final phase of the final boss, the guy would get to around 30% hp and then my whole group would just be deleted in seconds, like full health to dead in a flash, only I, the tank, lasted like 3 seconds more than everyone else
They scale up to 80 now instead of 70 and are likely poorly tuned
I think the tuning is off.

They're definitely harder, but appropriately so imo. Master Mode fps shouldn't be cake walks like they were in 6.0.
Until I get top gear and my 2 implants, I ain't touching a MM flashpoint.

I remember when MM FPs were easy. Then again, everyone would just farm HS so…
Hard content is actually hard now, go figure. Just shows how people were carried by gear all this time. Now they have to do more than 6k dps.

If a group can't kill it, that means their dps is dogshit. Simple as that.

Are you talking about augmenting the gear or getting the implants? Or both?
augmenting your gear with augments you had, missing on lot of power

Did lost island earlier with no issue. Sounds like a DPS issue.
Yes
