Defeating Umakk Bre'ano and Quillara Adeen

Guide to Defeating Umakk Bre'ano and Quillara Adeen

Umakk Bre'ano

The key to Umakk Bre'ano is not tanking so forget about that right now. To tank is to avoid/block/evade/absorb incoming damage over an extended period of time only healing when necessary. The key to this guy is healing. Lots of healing. Regardless of your template and build, he will do a tremendous amount of damage to you and no amount of tanking is going to gain any success.

First: Know all your buffs, whether they are profession buffs, GCW/officer buffs, or any others...you'll need them all.

Important! I noticed from the combat log that Umakk's Lightsaber does Energy damage and Quillara's Lightsaber Damage is Kinetic. In this case, when you get your Entertainer Buff (later in this guide) you should ask the Entertainer for MAX Energy protection for Umakk's lightsaber, and MAX Kenetic for Quillara's lightsaber.

The first step is to let go of your template. I have my preferred set up that I will be going back to but after several failures decided to try a few different builds. Go to the profession counciler and drop your Expertise for this following build below (if you don't happen to already have these stats)

This is the build I went with for this boss;

General

•2 points str
•2 points agi
•2 points const
•4 points alacrity
•2 points in anything else to get 12 (I put mine in saber throw damage)
•4 points in saber block (absolute necessity)
Path

•full light side tree...NO QUESTIONS ASKED!
For the Entertainer buff, I would suggest const/heal power/kinetic. Note that the buff is heal power/efficiency, not chance to heal.

After that I had a full set of medic buffs. I also stack str/agi/const in my clothing and used a defensive saber with block chance in it. Block chance is a great mod for any or all of your available Jedi clothing pieces, this will really help out.

Before you get started, pull up your commands screen and create the following macro;

•/ui action toolbarSlot05;
•/pause 10;
•/m saberblock;
Title the macro saberblock and pick an icon. Pull up a blank toolbar and put the saber block action icon in the #6 slot (note; you can change the number in the macro to any slot you like and then place the icon in any corresponding spot on the bar keeping in mind that the first spot on the bar is 00). This macro cycles almost instantaneously when the action is off cool down. Trust me when I say, having one less thing to worry about is a huge help.

Put anything else you intend to use on this new tool bar. You will not need any attacks/snares or things of that nature. You will need the following on it;

•both stance and focus
•your most advanced heal
•saber block (along with the macro icon that you created)
•any heal stims you intend to use
•advanced saber reflect (I'll explain that one further down)
•all of your GCW buffs (if you have them)
•defensive wild force shard (blue in color, boosts defense for 3 min)
•revitalization stim (HK instance, 3 min buff)
When you get to the statue; Light Jedi Statue at Dantooine (-4219 33 4249), get all your main buffs going. Any pups you use, any foods, familiars, etc. Do not start this with your stance active. Instead, activate your focus.

Now that all of these things are out of the way, kneel down and meditate (assuming you have the ability from the collection). Wait for the defensive buff to cycle in. It’s the one with the blue icon that shows a person reaching for the sky. Stand up and then activate the following;

•saber block macro
•wild force shard
•GCW banner (again, assuming you have this)
•revitalization stim
Click on the statue.

The NPC will spawn and you will begin your fight. Turn off your auto attack. You don't even need to hit this guy. In a game where every boss resets if you don't maintain damage on him, this will feel very strange. You instead need to focus on staying alive.

Running this NPC is similar to what one might expect while trying to land a plane. You don't want to focus entirely on your view port as you have important instruments to watch. I barely even looked at the action on the screen. Instead, you have to watch for the debuff and cool down timers of your actions. Fortunately, the debuff icon now shows under your buffs so identifying it is pretty easy.

Now that you have taken a little bit of damage, activate your GCW buffs if you have them.

At this point you are probably nearing the need to heal. Before you heal, you must activate your stance! This will get you the full 10k heal. This is because with your focus active, the debuff he offered will not affect your heal while in stance. So click on your stance, fire your heal and saber reflect. Some may advise against the reflect as it causes damage to the npc. However, it also doubles your alacrity which is very important. The damage done to the npc is minimal compared to the amount of protection it offers. Your not supposed to be attacking anyway so the amount of damage from this one buff will be minuscule in comparison. As soon as stance cools down, fire off your focus! This will ensure that if you are debuffed again, it will not be the one that cuts your heal in half.

The two icons are best described as being brown and green. There are pictures in them, but under the circumstances, you won't see what they are. The brown one is up while you have focus, the green while you have stance. There is a possibility that he may fire off the green debuff before you can activate your focus. If he does, just wait it out until you see it go poof or switch to the other one. Then get your stance back up, heal off and get back to your focus ASAP.

During this battle, your saber block should be cycling automatically. So the only things you need focus on, are the debuffs (which one is active), the cool down on your specials (heal and focus/stance), and rotating into your stance right before you heal, then back to your focus as soon as you can. If you have heal stims, you can time them accordingly in between your main heals. As I said though, I did not use them as I didn't have time to get any.

If you follow this path, you will succeed in defeating him. I cannot vouch for any other way as this is the only way I did it. I know others have completed in different ways, but I can guarantee that this one works. You may not get it on the first try as it takes some practice getting your stance up for a heal then back to focus in the 4 second span you have between the debuffs, but if you keep at it, and use this pattern, you will defeat him.

NOW FOR THE OTHER (DARK) JEDI:

Quillara Adeen

When you get to the statue; Dark Jedi Statue at Yavin 4 (-2157 16 7233), get all your main buffs going. Any pups you use, any foods, familiars, etc. Do not start this with your focus active. Instead, activate your stance (just the opposite from before).

Now that you're ready, kneel down and meditate (assuming you have the ability). Wait for the Vision of the Future buff to cycle in. Its the one with the white icon that shows a person's face. Stand up and then activate the following;

•saber block macro
•wild force shard
•GCW banner
•revitalization stim
Click on the statue.

The NPC will spawn and you will begin your fight. Turn on your auto attack. Don't start button mashing trying to fire off specials. You instead need to focus on staying alive. The key here is keep a steady stream of damage on her while keeping an eye on your health.

AGAIN, attempting to kill this NPC is similar to what one might expect while trying to land a plane. You don't want to focus entirely on your view port as you have important instruments to watch. I barely even looked at the action on the screen. Instead, you have to watch for the debuff and cool down timers of your actions. Fortunately, the debuff icon now shows under your buffs so identifying it is pretty easy.

The debuff situation on this one is more simplistic than the light side boss. You never need to change your stance out, so the only debuff you get will do the same thing (I actually failed the first time today trying to switch them out, succeeded by leaving stance up the whole time). When you see the debuf icon, Do not fire ANY of your specials. The debuff takes your health away at the same rate you action goes. When you see the debuff, just focus on your health and let the auto attack do its job. Keeping saber reflect up helps a lot. Just keep in mind that when you fire it off, if the debuff is up, you will take damage from it. If you have health to spare, it may be worth it. I didn't use specials much at all. I found that due to lag, the debuff was up before I saw it and I was crushing my health before I had time to react.

You can run a bit and gain yourself a few secs to wait out your heal. I only ran a few seconds and got back into it. Be vary careful not to snare him if you are low on health though as running and watching for the debuff is almost impossible.

Now that you have taken a little bit of damage, activate your GCW buffs if you have them.

At this point you are probably nearing the need to heal.

During this battle, your saber block should be cycling automatically. So the only things you need focus on, is the debuff (so you know when you can fire your specials) and keeping track of your health so that you don't get dead. If you have heal stims, you can time them accordingly in between your main heals. I used a full set of Officer heals for this boss. Had I not had them I might not have made it. I did not have some offensive buffs active though as they were on cool down from the last attempt so you should be able to finish it without them if you have to.
