So I finally did it, after two years of effort, and it only took 9 HOURS to finish the Mellichae mission.
At the last, I assembled an assault team of Jedi that I knew, thinking we could out power the healing crystals. WRONG! Full heal every 3 seconds or so.
It took me an hour to figure out that shuttling reset the mission for me, when the first crystals were bugged. Sometimes we would get a good set and all four would die, but that was perhaps 1 in 5 resets. I died, no joke, 29 times during the course of the adventure. I know this because I had a new waypoint in my datapad for every time I died and had to come back to respawn the damn thing.
The point of all this?
The last time, with the assault team all rarin' to go, we discovered the bugged crystals again, and in disgust I departed the scene. As I was leaving one of the Jedi in our team let out with a scream of frustration and threw himself at Mellichae. I can only surmise he intended to tribute my lost 9 hours and forsaking of Jedi with his xp loss.
But that did not happen, for when he engaged Mellichae I was at the shuttle terminal, and when I got on the shuttle THE ENTIRE CAMP DESPAWNED EXCEPT MELLICHAE. No bugged crystals, no Daktar, no thugs. And no healing for Mel.
The screams in the group chat drew my attention, and a small glimmering spark of hope ignited in my heart. I burstran back to the shuttle and bought a ticket, all the while praying with my soul that returning would not simply begin the healing again, and boarded the ship. And the camp respawned....
With a new Mellichae, Daktar and set of thugs.
BUT STILL NO HEALING FOR MELLICHAE FROM A SINGLE INVULNERABLE CRYSTAL!
So you see, at that point, our insaneMDefender Jedi had uncovered the secret of working around the bugged crystals, and as Mellichae was rooted repeatedly in place by our CM and Pistoleer, not to mention the tanking Jedi, I zeroed in on his head with my rifle and did my damndest to make his melon explode all over my good Jedi friends.
We danced on his remains, screaming our exultation to the sky both in text and out loud. It was the greatest adventure we have had in this game.
Ding dong, Mel is dead. That rotten, mangy bastid's dead.
I hope this helps someone.
See you all in the enclave.

There is another way of doing it me and 3 others they are jedi and a level 58 bollo bol we found that if you have a bugged crystal to shuttle or die to make the mission respawn when it respawns we did the crystals in a diff patren and they all fell then i sent in the bolle bol to tank mellichae well he could only hit him for around 300 points not the 6k he was hitting us for the first couple times so we had 2 jedi healing the bolle bol and the other one would state and knock down he would saber through him for the knock down i being MCH did just one shot on him so when he died i got credit for group help and got 12k worth of CH xp from my bolle bol so he is still doable intell someone whines about CH being to overpowering.
