Nothing makes a mob more scary than what people say about a mob before you decide to fight it. This guy isn't as bad as everyone seems to think, provided you stay on your toes and have a nice list of triggers.
Rahvin's room is not !magic but its not smart to use a pass (because of the summon explained later)
Room attack: hurts everyone in your group (bg needs to be protecting the lowest hp).
Punt: every once in a while Rahvin will kick someone out of the room landing them on their butt. Have a trigger stand,east,assist tank. If you are the tank then either your group needs to flee out or you need to have a trigger set up to rescue the new tank.
Summon: After leaving combat with Rahvin he will randomly summon people back into combat with him. Upon retreat group members should be healed as quickly as possible. You should ideally retreat while your tank still has some hp so that he can last a few rounds if immidiately summoned (with ret lag). There are 2 general strategies for dealing with this summon The first involves an out of combat tech who has a trigger set up to summon the player back to the group, if this is done right it will generally result in the player taking minimal damage unless they get really unlucky. The second I only use when there isn't an available tech. This requires a 100bg, the bodyguard needs a trigger set to run back in to rahvin and push the summoned player out of the room. Fairly simple but if the bg has gret lag it can result in an unfortunate death.
As noted earlier passing from Im-Rahvin isn't a good idea as the triggers won't work unless your tech is parked at port. (dont forget to turn nosum off).
Ideal group makeup: Bodyguard, Jedi Master, Damage (probably sith), Technician.
Note: these strats will (obviously) not work if you are trying to solo Rahvin so you will have to come up with another strategy.
Loot: Pitch black ring/Heart (key to the cube)
Ever wonder where the cube was?
