Perhaps he is not intended to be done solo.
He incapped me with a single saber throw after that.Lord Vartonis is definitely soloable.
I killed him with my Jedi AND with my BH alt.
A friend of mine has a jedi with a very weak template (force cloak) and a low dmg saber.. and managed to win after I gave him some advices.
ANY lvl80 player can kill him, the key is.. use the right food, spicesand buffs.. and powerups.
And keep him KD as much as you can.

And if you Jedi think you have it bad, try being a non-Jedi.
Some Jedi templates (namely those with lower damage dealing) are having an extremely hard time with Vartonis. Rumor has it that he has higher energy resists than kinetic... and since Jedi attacks, for the most part, are energy, I could see where this is leading to...
Defender templates, however, seem to be having a cakewalk on this one though.
Powers/Enhancer templates have it worse than anyone because each attack drains a big chunk of our force and our DPS is teeny tiny.
But... as the other dude said, it seems like every high level combat template should be able to do this with the right preparation, tactics, and luck.

I'm not doubting he can be defeated, as I myself have come very close. In fact, despite the fact that I have yet to do so, I'm loving this encounter. 
It's a true challenge, that's for sure. I just wish the lockout timer weren't so long. I kind of wish this part were repeatable too just because it's so much fun to attempt. The Duel of the Fates music really sets the mood of the fight and the scenery is really neat.

You were definitely right about the luck part. Third times a charm and I was able to beat him, with over 80k health to boot. I got very lucky on the KDs and he stayed down for a good portion of the fight, standing up just long enough to choke meand back down he'd go.
As for loot... lava skiff obviously ..... and 6 heavy clasps.

Lord Vartonis
Aww man no music? The music during the battle was the best part, I was waiting anxiously for this game to have Duel of Fates or Battle of the Heroes during combat.
Beat him on the first try, MLS, 0044 Def, 4000 Heal, 4000 Enh, 0400 Powers... with armor break on I was doing just under 4000 a hit. With improved aura on I was getting hit for around 3000-4000. Finished with about half health.
Took the crystal, thought it would be THE lava crystal, but oh well... I'm a Dark Jedi anyway, so I'll appreciate the buffs.
