I am in need of some higher level allies to help me through LS/DS/Can missions. Friend code for any lvl 80s with a free spot on their friends list and in their heart:

*Nevermind, I see the OP was edited... And, if someone could point me to an in depth guide for fighting the Rancor f2p. I'd like to pull more weight in the guild, and I've heard some basic advice, but not instructions on ability order and such.

I've seemingly hit a brick wall in progress on getting my characters to gear level 9. Basically I think I need something like 300 mk5 Fusion furnace shards, and 300 mk5 droid callers and that's to get 8 different characters to gear level 9. After 6 tier 5, & 3 tier 4 raids I am the proud owner of 24 fusion furnace parts, and 0 droid caller parts :suicide:. This is going to take months, I see some other players in arena with gear level 10 QGJ, 10 GS, 9 RG, 10 LU, and a 9 rey, and I'm simply stumped as to how they've got so much stuff. Are they burning through crystals to get them? or are they in a guild that is all lvl80s with 7* teams rolling t6/heroic every couple of days?. I've currently got nightsister initiate and yoda at gear level 9 and that's only because niether required a piece of gear that was raid only :sigh:.

At least I have 600 MkV sorosub keypads I guess :confuoot:

At least I have 600 MkV sorosub keypads I guess :confuoot:

There are a few things going on -- some people, like myself, had about a day's notice that Droid Callers and Furnaces were going to have unobtainable gear added to them -- and we precrafted some. I was unable to make any Furnaces in time, but I did make 5 Droid Callers, and as such, still have 2 left. I'm sure some people were able to make 3-4 each, and this is ridiculously unfair. I had a huge advantage. Over time, this advantage has decreased, but, it's still there in the arena crystals I earned thanks to that advantage -- and their response has basically been "we messed up, won't do it again, here, you can buy them in shipments now for crystals so this isn't really a problem so much as an opportunity for us to make more money."

So, now you have people with pre-crafted gear earning crystals faster, and therefore more able to buy raid gear in shipments without spending money, and they're able to earn raid gear faster because they already have raid gear. It's pretty BS, and that's said as someone who took advantage of the bs.

As far as advice goes, basically just go wider on your character selection. Focus on building squads of good teams. IGD is making good progress on raids, we clear T6 basically every other day, but even still getting gear is slow. So, I've been very focused on putting raid gear towards my arena squad only, and then putting energy into bringing my other teams up to G8 (or 9 when raid gear isn't needed).

Also, I save up crystals, and will buy a furnace or scanner if I ever see one (I haven't since I saved up enough crystals).

I'd like to just add, we're gonna need to be careful with the attacks on this one. Right now we have several guys who blow their wad against the p1 wall and are happy getting 15k damage or whatever instead of waiting for the Rancor, which is fine because we get refreshes and have more than enough firepower to compensate later on. We won't have that luxury in the Heroic since dead is dead, so we REALLY only need a few select people to do p1 with optimal teams. It's very important that we save enough worthwhile teams to finish the raid off, or we could stall out, so for the "weaker" members of the guild I'd recommend sitting back and saving your 7*s to throw at p4 where it seems like most guilds have the issues. I think we're strong enough now to do this, but only if everyone plays smart. I'll probably just sit out p1 at the expense of some damage just so I'll have strong teams to whomp the Rancor and leave the pigs to our most efficient guys.

This.

I don't really want to take the time to organize who is attacking and whatnot, but I'm inclined to say that for P1, we should really only have one person attacking at a time. I think that either king tramp or wrath (oops wrong forum -- just now realized this was you) have the most efficient team comps for P1. I'm right in there as well, but, my Ewok Elder won't be 7* when we kick this off, so, I'm going to have to try something else in that 5th slot. I think Tag should plan to spread his damage across P2, P3, and P4. He's our biggest damage dealer, and we've got people that can beat P1 just fine. Tag should take P1. He might be able to do it in one attack, so let him try with his crazy Rex team comp, and then we'll have people fill in as needed. So, Friday/Saturday, Tag, what is the best time tos tart this attack?

I think you should avoid using Rey/Phasma in P1. They are best in P2/P3 when Rey can use her triple attack on a stunned rancor, and likewise with Phasma's bonus attacks. If you're used to doing P1 with those guys, try our next raid without it. We need to stretch our damage as far as possible, and I think you get more damage efficiency out of them in P2/P3.

We also need to save people's Teebo comps for P4. If Wrath/Tramp can take down P1, I will save mine for P4.

Don't forget that you can retreat if RNG fucks you. Make sure you get optimal damage out of your run. Don't just auto through.

I'm guessing T7 has a 40% escape chance. If you don't get someone out that you need, don't forget that you can hit retreat and try again.

Also, I intend to kick off a T6 tomorrow (or have someone do it). We'll then either have enough coins to kick off our T7 on Friday or Saturday. Oops/King, I want to know the best time for a raid for you two.

e: Also, we had 7 people produce 0 guild coins yesterday, which means they didn't log in. I know at least one of those hasn't been producing guild coins lately, and I've been intending to kick him out and replace him (hixalot). I feel like I've seen less from PyronicEX/ProtonDecay lately, but I forgot to check over the weekend (I was out of town). If you want in to IGD, let me know. We are about to try T7, so it would be good if you have at least one team of 7*s. More would be preferable. Avail, Avynt, Buda, Dubious are also all at 0. I'll be watching this pretty closely this week as we are trying at T7 Friday or Saturday...

One more note. When we get down to below 50% in P4 on our T7, scan down the list. Let's make sure everyone that can attack has the chance to attack on this one. Make sure it has been at least 24 hours before we finish this one off. I know there's the race to the top of the damage list, but I want everyone to get some raid loot.

Speaking of force closing, I'd like to suggest that everyone force close their app prior to participating in the t7 raid, since the in-game chat stops responding well after a while. I know you can get around it by typing something in, but I think it's better to keep down the spam of people typing "." or whatever.

My understanding is that t7 rancor has less health but more tenacity, so a lot of the TM strategy becomes a diceroll and you basically just have to throw bodies at the drat thing.

cowofwar posted:

I like to run Phasma, Fives, QGJ, Rey, Lumi for P2/P3 because you can get an absurd amount of damage in while the door is down. If the door is at like 50% I will use one of my shittier teams to get the door to full. For this, I would probably plan to make one attack at P2, and one at P3, saving as many as you can when he gets ready to eat people.

The other door team I really like is Ackbar, Poggle, Luke, Pilot (or dps), healer. I intentionally don't run other Rebels here (including Leia) because I want to trigger Luke's basic as much as possible while the door is down. This will probably be less good at T7, but with guaranteed crit, you can land a lot of DoTs and get a lot of damage in from that. I like Pilot for the expose chance, but a support or another DPS works well there too (supports that can trigger Luke, anyways).


E: Also, Leia is bad at raids. Her damage comes from multi-attacks, which means Rancor will get more TM. If the door is down, her triggered extra crit chance for everyone else doesn't do very much. I think she'll be a good Rey replacement for T1 DPS though (since you want Rey for P2/P3)

So, JKA report:

His old special had an on kill effect so the AI never used it unless an enemy was near death. New special does not yet they did not bother changing his AI script it so he still won´t use it if everyone is full health, making him a liability on auto/arena defense.

Advantage on dodge: sure, unless the next attack is dodged again. Instead of the advantage refreshing itself, it just fizzles. GG.

You get 350k for each run. It's piss easy for me but I have max gear 7* lando and Greedo, 7* g8 nute and chewie, your mileage will certainly vary.

If I had to recommend exactly one scoundrel his name is lando. Although cad is supposedly better for raids.

It's 700k/week if you never miss the event, it will pay off eventually I guess but if you have to give up heroes you'd rather have it could be a big wait before you get a return on investment. Luckily lando is also a rebel.
