Wasn't really crazy about it myself, we ended up wiping at 35% although there were pretty much no problems until 50%. As I expected, after a Homing Missile it was virtually impossible to get hate back. Once Countersatnce + Boost + Chi Blast failed, there was pretty much nothing else we could do since he's already run off whacking someone else and we couldn't catch up to him to get some melee swings or WS in. Even when Counterstance was up, it's only once per 5 min, so when he was using HM more than once ever 5 minutes there was nothing we could really do except chase him around like an idiot while everyone else just got picked off one-by-one.
