Hello to everybody,
usually I am allways reading a lot here, now my current problem moved me to write something.
Even after zVader`s bugg fix, i keep reading and seeing Videos here of zVader Teams soloing the rancor raid. How is this possible?
Before the bugg fix I was also able to solo P1-P3, now I can just dream about that.
I tried the diffrent Combos:
zVader, EP, Shore, TFP and RG
zVader, EP, TFP, Qui Gon and Rex
zVader, EP, TFP, RG and Rex
+ a lot of other similar Combos - nothing allowing me to even soloing just one part of the raid.
All of the mentioned toons are gear 10 or 11 and mostly maxed abilities, as you can see here:

Of Course I know about the Speed down tactics, so not using the Culling Blade right after Force Crush, but wait till the cooldown time is over.
So whats going on? Bug fix - ok, but why are others still able to solo the raid with similar Team and gear?
Thanks for answers.

So everything comes down again to Speed mods? Could be an explanation.... And before the bug fix it went well because of more tm reduction.
Didn`t tought so that it makes such a big difference in the rancor raid...
So could it be, that there is a bug with starting from P1 on compared to start in a later part of the raid?
Strange...
PS: thx for the qgj tipp with the assist - didn`t know it`s also removing tm (as it usually shouldn`t) and so I was never using it, just in the toppling Phase.
Anyway sad that the raid is obviously bugged at the moment...
Anyway - thanks to everybody for the helpfull answers... :-)
25% TMR on his basic. You don't have to worry about potency due to tfp's tenacity down. (wich makes it better than a 50% chance of getting 20% TMR that sith/empire characters get) Gives TM to your whole team.
Rex has 100% chance to remove 25% TM on his basic so he's a good backbone to any TMR squad and doesn't need to be in the leader position. Plus he can grant TM and cleanse deathmark with Squad Discipline. Some people use QGJ because they don't have Rex and he's probably the next best in terms of not needing to lead to reduce TM. Plus a lot of people don't have all their empire/sith characters well geared or modded yet so as they work up to that it's easier to use those characters.
Ideally you want mostly sith/empire with good speed mods and TFP with lots of crit chance to keep applying tenacity down and Rex to be the consistent TMR each time he goes, as the other characters are only 50% chance.
Im thinking of:
TFP, Rex, EP, Sid =D how should their mods look like?
That's who I ran last ffa rancor
Only took damage in p1, rancor didn't move p2-p4
QGJ doesn't remove tm with the assist. The bug there is that it is already precalculating the assist/dmg from the assisting toon. You will see the tm get removed from QGJs attack but then it is always followed by an empire ally who never reduces the tm. It is actually the assisting empire toon removing tm, not QGJ... it just looks that way because they remove the tm too early.
Zader(L)
Magmatrooper
TFP
Darth Sidious
Rex
Mods with speed, not necessarily speed mods
Zader 170 G10
EP 175 G10
Sid 200 G8
TFP 205 G9
QGJ 170 G9
That's not a bad team. Here's my team with speed that can solo Heroic:
Zader 193 G10
EP 202 G11
Sid 211 G10
TFP 257 G11
Magma Trooper 179 G8
If I had him at 7*, I'd sub Rex for Magma. You need more speed.. Potency mods with speed secondaries. Maybe CD triangle on Zader to amp culling blade.
Vader - 179
Palp - 180
Sidious - 195
TFP - 231
Rex - 176
They hold their own in arena and get me top 20 (sometimes top 10) every day on a November 2015 shard, although I use 3* Shore instead of Sid. I could swap Rex for a gear X Dooku who is 185 speed. What do you think? I could probably get more speed on them but it would break up a mod set that really works well for me. I don't need Han as I already have him at 7* but I am so sick of Teebo I want to have some fun in the rancor raid again instead of tearing my hair out every time the stealth bug rears its ugly head - always at the most crucial moment too. Any advice would be most welcome, thanks.
