Athiss

Athiss is a mid-game Flashpoint available to both Empire and Republic players.

Description
Flashpoint

Entrance
The flashpoint starts on the planet surface. There is a lift that can take you below the surface but the console for activating the lift needs to be sliced by someone with a Slicing skill of 80 or higher. If this is not possible you can drop down, via the platforms, taking moderate damage.

First Boss - Professor Ley'arsha

 * Just notes from a encounter

Step one DPS down all adds

Step two Tank against wall, boss has a knock back ability that will send you flying and given the location you will fly off a ledge.

Step three Boss will summon four additional adds (twice from what I have seen). DPS Need to break and go after the adds. If the tanks wants to that is up to him.

Step four Repeat two and three till victory

Second Boss - The Beast of Vodal Kressh
Straight forward Boss. This boss has a buck ability that flings the targeted player 20 meters or so through the air. This may cause a player to fall over the nearby cliff into a mob of strong enemies. The best counter strategy to defeat the Beast of Vodal Kressh is to kite him away from the cliff on the left and then fight from there, returning there once he bucks the tanking player from a secure location away from the cliff. The DPS may also want to consider eliminating initial weak enemies worshiping the beast and also eliminate spawns which occur later in the battle.

Third Boss - The Prophet of Vodal
The Prophet of Vodal only a few abilities but they are tricky to detect.

Every 20% the boss vanishes and marks a random player with the Soul Rend debuff. After this, Red flames on the walls will begin to move slowly towards the marked player. They do moderate AoE damage and will disappear shortly after the boss re-appears. Player chased by the flames has to kite them around the room until they despawn.

Every 15 seconds a DoT called Crushing Affliction will be cast on a random player. Character suffering from the DoT will notice a red in color "Dark Energy." The best way how to quickly spot who got the DoT is to watch party frames for it's green debuff icon. This DoT does severe damage to it's target every second for 5 seconds and when it ends, it detonates for aditional AoE damage. Your party can either heal through the damage, or designate a person with dispel ability (such a Sith Sorcerer Purge) to watch for it and quickly dispel affected player. The laters is highly advisable.
