Thread: can we solo enough to get in dwb and get the de-10 parts alone?
Ahh I see... sorry, bit early for me.
Ok, only the Bloodguards drop DE-10 parts, cl90 mobs.
If you want to go solo, the first thing you have to get past is the Battle Droid (CL 88) on guard at the bottom of the ramp.
If you do any damage to him, he calls three more Battle Droids that will kill you unless you run for it.
I found that if you walk down the ramp until the battle droind on the left (that's the one that calls the guards) notices you and a ? appears on his head then run back up the ramp and hide behind the wall next to the first door without shooting him he will run over to you.
If you shoot him here he will call the guards. I found that if you use CM paralyze onhim here, he will follow you out the door (if you dont he will just break aggro) and you can now damage him once he is outside, he will call for reinforcemants but they will not spawn.
So after killing him you can run into the bunker, ignore the remaining Battle Droid as he doesnt have line of sight to aggro.
Use the terminal on the wall to get into the room with the Henchman and Thug, cl88.
This is very tough solo, you have no room to kite so quite often I end up pulling the Henchman (melee only attack) outside the bunker and killing him before going back for the Thug (ranged only attack).
Ok, so now you are standing in the first room. The next room is typically filled with a load of Super Battle Droids, typicaly 5-9 of them, spawned by cloaked jedi that run in and use the chest which contains jet pack and DE-10 parts. Everytime they do this, an SBD spawns and they leave it there to make the DWB completely unplayable for anyone.
If it isn't full of SBDs then you may be able to run past, without aggro'ing the cl89 Assassin and Henchman.
If it is full of SBD's, you'll need a few friends or a helpful CSR to clear them out. If you send an "I'm Stuck" "Inside a building" ticket a CSR may turn up and delete them for you if you ask nicely.
If they wont do it, or are taking ages, you will have to do the "Mob pull of death".
For this, you will need a friend that is happy to die for you, and an MCM.
Get the friend who is willing to die run into the room full of SBD's and then start running out of the bunker, if he wants to stay alive he needs to leave a bike outside to get away.
Have the MCM stand in the first room where the Thug and Henchman were and as he pulls a long line of mobs past the MCM, para one and start shooting at it, all the other mobs will still run after your poor friend as he scrambles for his bike, while you kill the cl93 Super Battle Droid.
I found that I can solo these with Improved Thyroid rupture, setting it on fire, making it go to a ranged attack and then going prone, using roll shot to heal and then dive shot again.
Repeat that until all the SBD's are dead. If you manage that then you can camp the chest, use /open rather than double clicking or using the radial on chest as that doesn't seem to spawn an SBD. You may get DE-10 parts from there, but if a rebreather spawns in the chest then nothing else will spawn until it dissapears as it isnt lootable. This can take a day or so, or a server reset.
Another way of doing it is to have someone aggro all the SBDs and run down the ramp, about 15m away from the door and die, then the rest of the group can follow him as the SBDs retreat back to their room, then you can rez your friend.
Still no Bloodguards... so the next room has two Henchman and a Super Battle Droid. Not solo'able unless you manage to single pull them by walking into aggro range of one until they go ?, then runninng back to the middle of the ramp.
If you manage that then there is a Bloodguard in the room to the right, with a Battle Droid. If you can get in there you could camp it I suppose.
You are better off gertting a group together and going through to the first keycard, using the terminal there spawns a load of bloodguards, but if you have a group you may as well go for the Overlord.
