[edit] The Group
IG-88 can be done with a group of 7, but it is a PIA way to do it. So you want to bring:
- (2) Medics
- (2) DPS professions [Commando/Officer]
- (3) Jedi
- (1) Bounty Hunter
You can replace one of the Jedi with a smuggler, but only to cloak a medic when they need to lose aggro to ressurect players.
[edit] Phase 1: Battle droids
This part is pretty easy so you shouldn't have any problem here. Plant four people on each of the four doors in the instance. Have the medics in the middle to heal whoever gets low. Kick the Mouse droid in the Middle of the instance, and wait for the Battle droids and bomb droids to spawn. You can keep the bomb droids off your back by standing directly in front of the door where they spawn. Blast the battle droids apart and Phase 1 is done.
[edit] Phase 2: Droidekas
For this part, everyone has to abandon their posts after all of the battle droids have gone and focus on THE SAME droideka. Try to keep aggro off of the medics for whatever heal/rez might be needed.
[edit] Phase 3: Giant Battle Droids with flamethrowers
This part is one of the hardest parts of the instance. Two giant battle droids with flamethrowers will come out of the main gate and stand next to each other in the middle of the dungeon. Whatever you do, DON'T stand still for this part. as soon as they are aggro have one medic do a stasis on one of the battle droids and focus on the other. The best strategy for the attack is running around the perimeter of the instance while firing at them. They hit hard, so make sure you heal yourself, your medics do their job, and that you don't stand still.
[edit] Phase 4: IG-88
This part may or may not be harder to the last depending on how your group is. When IG-88 comes, give him all you got. You can try having your ranged professions run the perimeter like the last part, but it isn't really needed. Just make sure the medic are on the ball for this part. When the droidekas spawn, top priority is to eliminate them. IG-88 is or is close-to being invulnerable when they spawn. So take them out. [I would keep 1-2 Jedi on IG while everyone else takes the droidekas out, save the medics] Keep doing this and IG should go down.
