Some are still getting very frustrated with these two bosses. Be aware that what makes these so frustrating is the very small margin for error. This is not like tanking a gold elite where a few mistakes and a little luck can get one through. Any variation of error, no matter how small, will almost certainly result in failure. Because of this, one may have to attempt these bosses several times even while using this guide. Some of the failure can be attributed to the random damage that the bosses yeild, but most of it is because the timing wasn't kept to exact standards.
If you follow these guides, they WILL get you through. You may not make it on the first or even the 10th time, but the system below is sound and will work.
In addition, the 30 min wait on the debuff is infuriating as it's hard to get back into the fight and remember what you did wrong the first time.
Patience is key. The guides do work. I did both bosses probably 10 times each without success. Once I figured out the pattern, I beat them both on the second try.
Understand well what is written in the guide, apply to the best of your ability. You will make it through. if you are still having problems, I have a section for FAQs that I will be happy to keep updated. Let me know if something needs clarified as I try to make my guides painfully simple to follow.
Let me start off by saying that I had decided long ago to not write any more guides. In this case, I'm making an exception becuase of my opinion of these two bosses.
The key to Umakk Bre'ano is not tanking so get that out of your head 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 you success.
When I did this, I used all my general buffs except the orbital strike. However, at the time, I did not have two very important defensive buffs active as they were still on cool down from the last attempt. I also did not use any officer or GCW heal stims as I just could not find any in the time that I had. Point being, It seems that I probably could have finished this without my GCW general buffs had the other items not been on cool down.
The first step is to let go of your template. I have my prefered set up that I will be going back to but after several failures decided to try a few different builds. Go to the profession extortionist...oops, I mean counciler, and drop your expertise.
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
For an ent buff, I got const/heal power/kinetic. Note that the buff is heal power/efficiency, not chance to heal.
Important! This information was just added by LordEatose; I noticed from the combat log that Umakk's Lightsaber does Energy damage and Quillara's Lightsaber Damage is Kinetic. Just thought I would mention those in case nobody knew. (I have not verified this as of yet)
After that I had a full set of med buffs. I also stack str/agi/const in my clothing and used a defensive saber with block chance in it.
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 futher 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, ect. Do not start this with your stance active. Instead, activate your focus.
Now that all the mains are out of the way, kneel down and meditate (assuming you have the ability). Wait for the defensive buff to cycle in. Its 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
* revitalization stim
Click on the statue.
The npc will spawn and you will begin your fight. Turn off your auto attack. You dont 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 instraments 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 becuase 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 miniscule 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. (thanks to masselin for pointing out that saber reflect must be fired off while stance is active)
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. Congratulations, control is now back in your hands.
