Congratulations to epgah for winning the 60 Day Pre-Paid Game Card for World of Warcraft.
I also tried this today and it was brilliant. However, the Droid Forward Commander MK1... can it be soloed? Seeing as it is a boss with about 140k HAM, it seems unlikely.
Be warned if your doing it to get glowies, make sure you aggro the foward commander when he takes the field or the miners will kill and guess what!
No glowie for you!....lol
But also be carefull, you aggro him youll aggro his guard and that will be alot of
droids coming after ya!
I try to do this with two peeps one to aggro the fc and kite him away from miners, the other to kite the guards to the miners! Good luck!
Just a quickie, the tactic works great, however ive not looted sod all from the commander with a loot macro in 4 attempts, ok the miners take him down pretty quick but i make sure i get a good few hits in in the time.
Do i need to drag him away totally to solo him to get the loot or is it just that he doesnt always drop anything and ive been unlucky so far?
you need to pull the commander totally away from the miners,its like spawn camping whoever gets most damage in on npc enemy gets the drop! i.e. if the miners do most the damage to the forward commander, you dont get item! so get someone to kite the guard to the miners! and kite the fc away fron the miners!
Could someone please explain what Im doing wrong? I spawn all the miners and place them in the main camp, letting the lower camp go. Ive found the Forward Commander's spawn point(s) and studied their every move. I know that if I pull agro on the Forward Commander and cloak that I can get him to take the back of the line behind his guards. I just cant for the life of me seem to be able to isolate him to a 1-on-1 fight. Others in game have told me that its possible to seperate him from the others in his group, and that it can be done solo without using the miner's agro at all. Anyone?
What I have found to work as a jedi, when the commander spawns and nears the miners throw on shot block and do as much damage to him as possible. w/ this you do agro his guards but they should be close enough to the miners to agro them. I focus all my attention on the commander while the battle ensues around me. if need be force run and the commander will follow you out while his guards are being killed by the miners..
It has worked for me so far
Something else that I was thinking about is snareing the commander before he reaches the miners and then cloak to lose agro and he may hold back while his minions move forward. I will try this when I get home after work to verify.
After a few more tries, Ive learned to just wait until the miners begin to take agro on MK-1's group. At that instant, I hit him with a rifle from the level area thats above the lower camp, and kite him away. Regardless, 2 HK droids usually stay with him. When I kill one, a new one appears so he'll always have two helpers at his side. I just learned to ignore the HKs and focus on MK-1 while trying to keep a good timing balance of heals and saber block. Now if he would just drop that Artifact....
What I do as a jedi is target lock on Forward commander when he takes the field and snare him, then run away from the camp (force run) and his cronies follow - I keep going until I lose aggro of his guards then run back to him - being that he was snared - you don't lose his aggro and can fight him 1 on 1 while the miners take out the rest of his guards!
Also - I read that you should only use 1 miner leader to make the miner spawns - But, I use them both no problem, also if your quick enough, every time you speak with one of the leaders you can get 3 spawns - not 2 like previuosly stated. I spawn miners 4-5 times of 3 spawns which seems perfect without causing lag and nobody gets near the generator!
Hope this helps! Let me know if any clarification is needed here! Thanks
IMPORTANT : for this macro to work, you have to put your reticle on the miner, not only target him !
Now, you'll speak about 4 times with the miner before he states he have to move (this will bring you into a loop, don't worry about the macro telling you to stop the conversation since it is the 2nd answer).
AT THIS POINT, just DUMP your commands BEFORE replying (better creating a macro with only the "/dump" command and tie it to a keyboard key you don't use), your mouse cursor will be released to click on the correct answer.
Once you clicked, your reticle should be back on the miner so launch the macro again by pressing its hotkey, and repeat several times.
Then next miner, same strategy.
You should have around 50-70 miners each side of the camp, enought to just focus on the Commander.
Also another easy way is to stand on one of the hills and stand there after 11 minutes shoot hk 47 than run over the hill. repeat this until he charges after u and u can finish him by urself
