Nine_Claws

My Scrapper would be interested, but too early for me...have RL issues...If you can delay the start until 2pm, then I'll happily join with my 50 claws/regen.

Oh and small point to make....this is SS TF4, not 2!!

Definitely at highest lvl player, and more generally!
with a lvl 31, mobs will be lvl 33 maximum!

Why is it always empaths and blasters?

[/ QUOTE ]I play both, so can see both sides of the argument.

Empaths are always in a lose/lose situation (when teaming). If the team is buffed properly and healed when needs be, you are seen as an xp leach (hence why I took NRG as a secondary, so that could blast when RA was in effect)...and if ppl die because they run off, or take too much aggro(they can't handle), then it's obviously the empaths fault.

Some Blasters think they have the defence skills of Tanks, and then have the gaul to wonder why they are faceplanting a lot. Most Blappers are aware of the dangers of melee dmg, but can either handle it, or know when to pull back. But mainly, Blasters generally die in Teams when they think they are untouchable (as the Empath is there, to be their personal heal buddy, not the team's???)

yep, was fun definitely! Mobs went down so easy with that team built by Winter Flare. The only (small) drawback, was the very choatic start, but once we sorted out our tactics...was a doddle!

Well the idea of standing back up and fighting on can't be bad...... can it?

[/ QUOTE ]This is the sole reason why I use Revive, rather than the messy power that is MoG.

Sure MoG has it's uses, if used in the right situations, but I'd rather die...then stand straight back up again in PvE. I personally don't PvP much, so no need for MoG.

In a perfect world, I wouldn't take either power, but Revive is there simply for backup...also helps not to have to carry either awakens or break frees (I have resilience aswell)

You can farm the side missions, using the same safeguard mission. You have to head to the bank (ignore the first group of foes you come across - inside the bank) and head straight to the vault. If you only defeat the signature villain, and the ppl around them...then you will stop them escaping....without completing the mission. Then leave the bank, without attacking the group by the door....complete the side missions, then exit map....then reset!

If you defeat all the foes in the bank, the timer will start and the mission will be completed. Which means that you will have to do more police band missions, to get the sg mission again.

This is based on information I know, I've never tried to do it myself...as never needed to farm the side missions.

I'll bring my troller...Ice/Kin (Name is -459F).
Don't have invis...but can help out with recall friend.

Your need at least 1 villain for that, as it is still their mission that allows you to farm succubus etc... Heroes don't get the same missions as Villains do..... You will also need a full team of 8 people to do it!!!

As far as I know that is WAI, after all the Devs are trying to stop farming opportunities indirectly. Doesn't take too long to get the badges, and there are some known exploits!

It would take longer than 2 rounds, as progress is only awarded to the last person to click the glowie. E.G. in the raiding mission, whoever clicks the box, gets the temp power and they also only get the progress towards getting the interceptor badge (need to click the glowie 10 times for this badge)

My bad, thought it was 4pm...sorry for not showing at 3pm!

Ok dazz, it appears we will have to recruit some more ingame tomorrow, only need 4 to start it.
Pretty sure we can muscle ppl into helping us defeat Babbage anyway!

My highest Blaster is an elec/elec, now at lvl 28. Agree with posts above that before lvl 20, endurance is a real pain. I'm very comfortable at soloing now (at lvl 28), and can take down mobs (10-15 foes) of -1 (blue enemies) within 10-15 seconds (approx). I turn on lightning field, drop build up, run into mob...unleash short circuit, then hit enemy in middle of mob, with ball lightning....which generally desimates the group, then pick off runners with ranged attacks.

The Elec/Elec Blaster is a great blapper after lvl 20.

Np Doom, took a while to build team, as 3 people who posted dropped out...so started with 3, but found 4 more willing recruits...and did it without a tank or healer in the end!

Thanks to team, who were :- Talskiar (Son/Son Def), Spirit Talker Nox (Troller), Fiery Edge (Troller), Mercury Girl (PB), Artegal (Scrapper), Headmistress (Blaster) and Ran Leysritt (Scrapper).

It took 2hrs 40mins and was most enjoyable!

minimum level 35. Max 38.

[/ QUOTE ]Max level 38, if you want to get xp from TF, otherwise there is no max level. Granted that there is a cap....but Max 38 suggests that no-one above this lvl can do it.

Just thought I'd put the record straight.

Anyone Interested in defeating the Clockwork King! This TF has the added bonus of the "Clockstopper" badge, for defeating Babbage along the way. More Info here!!

1. -459F - Lvl 17 (Ice/Kin) Troller

Clamor was too easy, mind you it helped that I held her in a sonic cage, whilst we cleared the mob around her. Then with the debuffs on her from sonic and rad powersets, must have helped in her speedy demise! I personally received a GW's embrace recipe (chance for psi dmg)...nice little 1.2m influence from there, when it sells!!

Was a very good team, even though took us 30 minutes to get going, from original start time. That TF also shows that if the team is built properly, you don't have to have either a dedicated healer, or a tank!!! We only had a few deaths...and mine were from straying too close to the mobs, gave up with dapping after a while...was on a hiding to nothing!

To echo other peoples sentiments, it was indeed a great SF. Very quick, and very few deaths....! Seeing Bah'Zul with huge tentacles surrounding him was good too....!

Thanks to all the participants, who were.... Mubaashir (Dark/Kin corr), Doctor Tack (Robot/FF MM), Mordru (Elec/Elec Brute), Coldsurge (Dark/Elec Brute), Terror Fish (Grav/NRG Dom), Boneface (Fire/Fire Brute), Robotic Shaya (Robot/FF MM) and WarEngine Zero (Rad/Rad Corr)...was a great team!!

Yes, still happening - meet in 30-35 minutes.
Team so far:-

1. Talskiar - 22 Son/Son Def
2. Megavoodle - 20 WS
3. Doomsayer - 50 Tank
4. @Saphi - if free???
5. Spirit Talker Nox - 23 Ill Troller
6. Coldhearted's Troller

No problem. Was great fun!! Thanks to Healing Kin and morgan le fey for stepping in, to replace Nether Storm and Burn Spirit that couldn't make it. Shame, you guys missed a great trial, and the Crystal Titan was a big damp squid (in a manner of speaking), only needed 1 ambrosia to avoid his dmg output!!!

Space at the moment.... so get them to come anyway!!!

Having trouble logging in, keep getting the Connecting 1# come up, bear with me, will be 5 minutes hopefully, if not there by 9:15, start without me!

1. Phlox - lvl 44 SS/NRG Brute (with taunt)
2. McCabe
3. Dr. Vindicator - Necro/Dark MM
4. Billy Horrorshow - 36 Mind/Psi Dom
5. Steel Venom - 37 Robot/Poison MM
6. Adamus Nox - 45 Dark/Dark Brute

With 2 Brutes and 2 MM's, would prefer last 2 slots to go to either Stalker/Dom or Corrs...just to make sure team build is at maximum potential, to rip thru the CoT!

1. Talskiar - 22 Son/Son Def
2. Megavoodle - 20 WS
3. Doomsayer - 50 Tank
4. @Saphi - if free???

And yes Saphi, you're correct...the picture is wrong! Sister Pysche has a much better avatar than Aurelia!!

1. Mubaashir - lvl 16 dark/kin corruptor
2. Terror Fish (Hopefully by then) lvl 15 EN/Grav Dominator
3. DarkZ - alt to be confirmed!
4. The_Moog - Robot/FF MM
5. Cold_hearted - Dark/Elec Brute
6. Kadabra - 50 Ninjas/Dark MM or Mordru - 40 Elec/elec Brute (either will be fine)

Cold_hearted, the TF will automatically be set to the highest level, which will be lvl 20. Will need you and the other higher lvl alts to lackey the lower lvl ones, so you'll get the chance of getting the mentor badges aswell.
