Sith Infiltrator

Randomly drops orange bracers for all Republic classes via the quest Enemies of the Republic.

If you wish to farm the bracers (high level toon recommended) you can reset this mission repeatedly. Just run outside the entrance and click "reset". Don't panic if it is greyed out ... you can only reset once every 2 minutes and a L50 will not have any problem getting in and killing this boss in under 2 minutes.

Some people will get lucky and see a bracer on their first, third or 6th drop ... and post happy comments here. I'll let you know it took me 29 kills to get any bracers (and I was farming Consular bracers, not the Trooper bracers I got ... money isn't the issue so much as none of the kind I need are available). Since you can kill it around 30 times an hour, this isn't sooooo bad. Then again, it is quite possible the one you need may NEVER drop for you.

Possible bracer drops:

• Trooper - Heavy - TD-17A - Talon Bracers (CONFIRMED via drop just now)
• Knight/Guardian - Heavy - Battle Expulsor's Armguards (confirmed via comments)
• Knight/Sentinel - Medium - Battleborn Armguards (confirmed via comments)
• Smuggler - Medium - Gallant Rogue's Bracers OR RD-07A Spider Bracers (not confirmed which drops from this boss)
• Consular - Light - Omenbringer's Bracers (confirmed via comments)

I farmed this guy with a level 30 for a day and received the following items:

100,000 Credits worth of Blues and Greens
6 Purple items that sold for defult price on the GTN
6 Crafting Schematics (Armormech and Synthweaving)
Battle Expulsor's Armguards x2
Omenbringer's Bracers x2
Omenbringer's Waistwrap
TD-17A Talon Bracers
RD-07A Spider Bracers

He is a veritable loot pinata; ready to be wacked open and then exploading with loot!

This is probably the mob most likely for a higher-level player to sit there killing over, and over, and over on Republic side...unless they get lucky with one of the higher level bracer drops. If you don't have plenty of time, it can be literally days worth of jumping this poor guy until you come up with the class-specific pair of bracers you want. He's the easiest mob that auto-drops blues to get to, kill, leave, and reset (which of course forces a respawn).

On the other hand, this also means that you can end up lucky and either make your alts happy or put a healthy chunk of credits in your pocket selling them off, and the blues will sell for a modest amount (or you can make anyone actually level-appropriate very happy as you drop top-notch gear on their heads).

Can anyone confirm if the orange bracers (quoted above from Hyde's excellent post) still drop from this NPC post patch 1.2?
Given the extremely limited sources for orange wrist items (and the fact that my server is dead so GTN isn't much help) I thought this would be the least painful way for me to get a set of custom bracers. After exactly 100 kills of this guy, however, I have yet to see a single orange drop from him, let alone the Omenbringer's I seek.

Just soloed this guy (and the pulls before him) with a healer/tank companion combo at level 18. Failed horribly the first time I tried this, but after realizing I could avoid *a lot* of damage by moving my companion out of the Death Field ability that he casts, it was much easier to heal (I was sitting around 90% focus when the boss got to 60%).

Took about 11 or 12 minutes of fighting with my tank doing almost all of the damage (I got in a few DoTs when the damage was low). Probably would have been a lot easier if I was a full healer spec.

You can solo this NPC without a companion.

Engage the NPC, and take him next to one of the two pillars in the room, and fight him there. Once he starts casting his Death Field, which has a three second cast time, move behind the pillar out of his line of sight. Once the template on the ground for the field disappears, the cast has failed, and you can go back to attacking the champion. He won't hit you back at this point, as he is waiting to cast the field again.

Repeat this until the champion is dead.
