Blood_Beret

I can bring the Following:

Dark Adversary DM/WP Brute(Currently no Taunt) working on a build with it in Mids. But don't count on it yet.
BadStreet SP/Traps Corr
McArchvillain Ice/Icy Dom
Agent Bester Widow
Bezex Beng DS/Thermal MM
Blood Beret AR/Dev Blaster
American Mage Illusion/Rad
McPeaceBringer Dwarf/Nova PB
Eel Nats Ninja/TA MM
RoboGenesis Bots/Traps MM
El Estrago Bane
PixieSlayer EM/WP Stalker

If needed I can always bring one with the Badge:
Dragun Merc/Dark MM
Mystic Freak Mind/Elec Dom
Dos Gelidus Ice/Cold Corr
Duke Hazmat Rad/Rad Corr

FYI For MoITF I have it on 2 toons, Dragun and Agent Bester.

I was on another run earlier. In the main room where we start, when leaving we go left, but the area to the right does lead to a dead end. That may be another place to stage a stand.

sounds good

I'll bring Dos Gelidus again to keep everyone cool.

Currently I have my Ice/Ice tank at 15. I may be intrested, depending on time. Also if I have not got him to 20 by then, I'll need to respec. To many cool toggles on an Ice Tank

So when will "Minion Peeps" be on the market...

I think they look more like Tater Tots than Twinkie the Kid.

I saw in chat there are some other people getting various server errors with Guardian and I think Champion.

I should be on also. I have multiple toons parked in RWZ just in case.

Sadly I have no Thermal or Cold Domination Heroes. I was playing with Mids, and I may build a Grav/Thermal Controller. But more than likely it won't be ready for next week. Especially slotted decently.

I was looking into Cold Domination, and figured I did not want o clone my villain, so he will wait until GR and be Rogue.

1st Mission:
Getting to and through Cithy Hall is pretty strait forward. Tanks need to stay closer to the side rooms, so aggro won't get out of control. This was not really an issue on this run. But it could be on future runs.

Doors. Tank need to enter all doors first. Seconded by Scrappers, then Support and Blasters.

Mission 1A: 5Th Column. No one in the Hallway but Tank. AoE of 5th Column can easily get any squishy, even if tank has aggro. Scrappers could be ready to go next to help with damage. ALso With Illusion Controllers, drop PA(Decoys) in the Hall. When the fodder is gone, dog pile AV and clean up.

MIssion 2: Portals in Boomtown.
As mentioned this was a Cluster $^%)#. Many ways this can be done. Stealth and TP or as Capa Suggested.

Then at the Last portal, drop Ouros. You can exit via Ouro instead of Mission Exit. Tanks should stay until the message arrives, then exit. Maybe an Emp or Thermal with Targeted Heal would stay with the tank.

Mission 3: Boss and Glowie
Can and should be Stealth and TP. This would reduce the chance of a death.

Mission 4: Axis America
Let those with stealth scout. Some portals are not guarded. We can use TP for the ones with Guards.

Reichsman's Base:
Take out the Mob up top with you. Nit much to say there.

It seemed that everyone jump or flew down to the bottom. To the left of the entrance is a catwalk/fire escape structure to walk down. This is safer and less risk.

When you leave that pit, go to the left, as the right is a dead end. Once you leave that area the map loops so it doesn't matter which way you go.

This is where the biggest difference between teh Hero and Villain versions. A Tank and a Single Target healer should stay on Reichsman at all times. THe healer needs to stay back so as to avoid being hit.

Everyone should be attacking Reichsman, until AV voices are heard. Then all but Team Reichsman takes on that AV.

Support Suggestions.

Thermal: Even though there are 2 debuffs, I'd classify it as a buffer.
Warmth PBAoE, Team Heal
Fire Shield Ranged, Ally +Res(Smash, Lethal, Fire, Cold)
Cauterize Ranged, Ally Heal
Plasma Shield Ranged, Ally +Res(Fire, Energy, Negative)
Power of the Phoenix Close, Ally Rez, Special(Targeted AoE, Extreme DoT(Fire), Foe Disorient, Knockback)
Thaw Ranged, Ally +Res(Cold, Disorient, Hold, Sleep, Immobilize, Fear, Confusion, Slow)
Forge Ranged, Ally +DMG, +To-Hit
Heat Exhaustion Ranged, Foe -DMG, -End, -Recovery, -Regen
Melt Armor Ranged (Targeted AoE), Foe -DEF(All), -Res(All)

Cold Domination: There are some good buffs, but I want to point out the Debuffs
Infrigidate Ranged, Foe -Recharge, -SPD, -DEF(All), -DMG(Fire)
Ice Shield Ranged, Ally +DEF(Smash, Lethal, Melee), +Res(Fire, Cold)
Snow Storm Toggle: Ranged (Targeted AoE), Foe -Recharge, -SPD, -Fly
Glacial Shield Ranged, Ally +DEF(Energy, Negative, Ranged, AoE), +Res(Cold)
Frostwork Ranged, Ally +Max Health, +Res(Toxic)
Arctic Fog Toggle: PBAoE, Team Stealth, +DEF(All), +Res(Fire, Cold, Energy, Slow)
Benumb 18 28 Ranged, Foe -DMG, -End, -Regen, -Special*
Sleet 26 35 Ranged (Location AoE), Minor DoT(Cold), Foe -Recharge, -SPD, -DEF(All), -Res(All)
Heat Loss Ranged (Targeted AoE), Foe -End, -SPD, -Res(All), Team +End, +Recovery

*The target's powers' effects like heals, defense buffs, endurance drains, disorients, holds, immobilizes, knockbacks and more, are all weakened

Most people know all about the other major support sets. But thought I would point those out.

I'll bring Dos Gelidus Ice/Cold Corr. Shields should help keep everyone alive in the last mission. Plus I bring more debuffs.

I think we had enough debuffs. Just not enough Buffs.

I should be able to make it.

At first I title insinuates that you want to run Strike Forces(Task Forces for Villains)

1. This is not Virtue.

2. There are threads for SG and VG recruiting for Guardian.

I'll join, just let me know what you need. Rad/Rad Corr (1 hold and debuffs), Ice/Icy Dom, Illusion/Rad Control (Hold and Debuffs) Ninja/TA MM(Hold, Debuffs)...

what time?

I can't believe he said this exo-skeleton makes my butt look big.

Candied Bacon Ice Cream Recipe

Bacon Ice Cream
About ¾ qt (¾l)


Like my butcher, I loved the salty taste of bacon with brown sugar, but I'm also going to be folding bits of candy bacon into Coffee Ice Cream in the future. Or maybe get really crazy and try little bits in a batch of Avocado Ice Cream.

If you don't have half-and-half, simply mix together heavy cream and whole milk in equal proportions. I'm not sure about dairy alternatives, but since this doesn't fall into the vegan category, I think this time I'm off the hook. ; )


For the candied bacon;
5 strips bacon
about 2 teaspoons light brown sugar


For the ice cream custard:
3 tablespoons (45g) salted butter
¾ cup (packed) brown sugar (170g), light or dark (you can use either)
2¾ (675ml) cup half-and-half
5 large egg yolks
2 teaspoons dark rum or whiskey
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
optional: ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon


1. To candy the bacon, preheat the oven to 400F (200C).


2. Lay the strips of bacon on a baking sheet lined with a silicone mat or aluminum foil, shiny side down.


3. Sprinkle 1½-2 teaspoons of brown sugar evenly over each strip of bacon, depending on length.


4. Bake for 12-16 minutes. Midway during baking, flip the bacon strips over and drag them through the dark, syrupy liquid that's collected on the baking sheet. Continue to bake until as dark as mahogany. Remove from oven and cool the strips on a wire rack.


5. Once crisp and cool, chop into little pieces, about the size of grains of rice.

(Bacon bits can be stored in an airtight container and chilled for a day or so, or stored in the freezer a few weeks ahead.)


6. To make the ice cream custard, melt the butter in a heavy, medium-size saucepan. Stir in the brown sugar and half of the half-and-half. Pour the remaining half-and-half into a bowl set in an ice bath and set a mesh strainer over the top.


7. In a separate bowl, stir together the egg yolks, then gradually add some of the warm brown sugar mixture to them, whisking the yolks constantly as you pour. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan.


8. Cook over low to moderate heat, constantly stirring and scraping the bottom with a heatproof spatula, until the custard thickens enough to coat the spatula.


9. Strain the custard into the half-and-half, stirring over the ice bath, until cool. Add liquor, vanilla and cinnamon, if using.


10. Refrigerate the mixture. Once thoroughly chilled, freeze in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Add the bacon bits during the last moment of churning, or stir them in when you remove the ice cream from the machine.
