Posted this in Player Q's forum, but also thought I'd put it here in case anyone might know.
For those of you familiar with this strategy, on the final mish of the ITF, it used to be possible to pull Romulus away from the Nictus by aggroing him immediately after the cutscene ended and then running back, leading him away from the Nictus.
On the last 3 ITF's I ran, I was unable to do it, and I don't know if I was just really off my game, or if there was a fix to prevent this from happening. Anyone know?

We split him on the all scrapper itf we try a bum rush just to see if we could and that started off well and ended badly so we regrouped and split them we had one scrapper tank the nictus and the rest destroyed Romulus. We pulled them apart after the fact as well.

Well, we really didn't spilt them. Romi couldn't take all the pain we were handing to him so he jumped off the platform breaking los right before he droped the 2nd time. That left two nictus behind. The reason we had an issue the first time when we just charged him was because we thought we could ignore the ambush. Wrong!!

If you drag the Nictus and Rommy too far apart, the Nictus will rush back to his side. You can still split them, just do not split them too much.

Sorry, the OP sounded like he was intentionally trying to split them up. The group I typically team with doesn't try to split them. We've found Romulus is easier to take down than the Nictus themselves. It's usually faster just to take out Rommy all 4 times, splitting them means having to attack the Nictus directly.

There is some trick where you tp right up to romi or something before the cutscene. You can then pull romi and the three nictus just stay there the whole battle, even after you rez. Ive seen this done, but have no clue how to do it myself. I think it used to spawn a clone romi, but now i think they just stand there and look bored.
