Cheese.

Everything is better with cheese.

Especially melted cheese.

3212 / 522 = 6.15 attacks (not accounting for regen). Again, going off recollection, I believe there's about 9 seconds between the Hammy attacks. If so, that's 54 seconds of max HP tank survival without accounting for regen, heals, or EoE.

EoE gives tankers 90% resistance for 60 seconds. So a tank with one EoE and max HP should be able to take 11 attacks before being overwhelmed. At that point, heals are useless and only regen, hiber, phase, or another tank taking over aggro will save you.

A tanker with 3212 could take a hit of 52 damage 61 times (again not accounting for regen). Sixty one hits times nine seconds is 549 seconds, or a little over 9 minutes. With 20 EoEs (a full tray) that's a full 20 minutes worth of coverage but only 9 or 10 minutes without a death.

With two HP capped tanks taking turns, I would recommend that they each have 18 EoE, one awaken and one break free. That way they can self-rez and get out of the goo to rest up for the next round. The replacement tanker would obviously have to move away from the last one to avoid a splash damage death.

I think two tankers could do it, if everything went perfectly. Since it never does, I think three experienced tankers should be more than enough to keep Hammy taunted for a raid, if they have capped HP, at least 18 EoEs, and either a self-rez or an awaken and BF combo.

I don't think that greens will be a problem, as long as you stay at range. I rarely, if ever, get hit by a green. I alternate taunt, laser beam eyes, blackwand and Nemesis Staff to keep a strong Hammy aggro on me.

Macskull, you win this time. *Shakes fist.*

It's a little bit of both. The rules suck so players have lost the desire. If the rules didn't suck, presumably more players would have more desire to PvP. But even with sucky rules, players could have soldiered on.

How's this for a simple strategy for tankers:

You have 6 teams of 8 and one team of 2. The team of 2 are the two Hammy taunters. They are responsible for having enough regen, hitpoints, inspirations, and any other tricks to survive Hammy for the three waves.

The other six teams are each responsible for a yellow, a green, and a blue mito, in that order. With all six yellows taking damage at once, the greens' heals should be divided and fairly easily overcome.

The greens will be tougher. Stone, Ice, and Super Strength have holds in their secondaries, but none of the others do. The epics can give you char, block of ice, and fossilize. Tech tankers get the little taser dart hold. You can get a temp power tear gas from day jobs or a safeguard missions; Golden rings from the winter events; and genetic restabilizer from a story arc. HVAS and Recluse Victory mini Heavies also have hold attacks.

If memory serves, green mitos have 50 mag protection. If all eight tankers have two holds and Vanguard accolade you might have enough mag to overcome the mito's resistance. But I doubt that all six teams will have that many holds.

Hmmm . . . so much for the three mitos to a team plan. I guess you could have the teams take out their yellow and blue and then all join together to take down the greens one by one.

Alternatively, you could keep the basic strategy: have a team of yellow taunters, a team of Hammy taunters, a team of yellow damage, and aggregate all the tankers with holds into the green team.

If the two taunt groups were all on one team, they could also jump in and taunt Hammy if necessary, once their yellow was down. So one taunt team of eight and one yellow damage team of eight leaves 34 tanks to take down the greens. That should definately be enough unless as long as those tanks have at least one hold.

Well, I assume everyone either has a second account, or a friend. Really popular people with two friends could get it done in half the time!

Or you know, you could sign up for a free trial account and vote. Or if you don't have any friends or a second account, but it really means that much to you to have HoF, spend $15 for a month.

Those don't work for you? Try this one on for size:

"10 million inf to anyone who plays my arc and votes 5 stars. Free XP, Free tickets, and a bonus 10 million Inf! PST."

Then I suggest you get a villain to 20 and make a bane.

Otherwise, you might enjoy a broadsword scrapper. Either super reflexes, willpower, or regen.

Oh, OK.

Then I'll run it on my second account.

Sorry, I still think counting all plays is too easily exploitable. Anyone that wants a HoF will get one. Most of those that get one under that method won't deserve it.

Oh, nothing.

My pleasure, inebriated squirrel.

Hanging around Atlas at level 1 or 2 with no vet badges isn't necessarily suspicious to me. After all, that is the primary starting zone. If someone just started they might very well be standing around, trying to understand the craziness of Atlas broadcast and taking in the sights.

But if that level 1 or 2 character is named "trfvyguh", then I think you have a pretty good case.
