Woohoo Grats VoodooGirl.

Great run all. Success for a new group of Masters of the LGTF.

1 brute (sorry we didn't have a kin for you!)
1 VEAT
1 Scrapper
1 corr
2 def
2 contr

Incredibly smooth run

Sorry Hamster for calling it in to log. I was tired and not thinking.

EDIT - Needed coffee to kick in...

Spider, I hope you are better. I get those headaches too and can sympathize.

And sorry for that outburst to the team during the 4th mission - ooops!

And Voo, one thing:

Difficult to answer. Depends on my mood.

Usually my Widow, who I have all "tricked-out". I just love jumping into groups of high level mobs and cutting them all down.

But when I want power, my bots/storm MM, who probably could smack around my widow. KBing all those mobs, using all the storm pets with my MM pets, soloing AVs/Heroes, just too much fun some nights.

OKAY! Trying to form a last minute team to attempt the MLGTF badge tonight (Friday 30 Jul at 930PM EST).

A few have PM'd me to set up and added :
1.
2. Me (Chillain - ice/cold corr)
3. MG (as MG)
4. SHamster (die roller die German for "the roller the", really!)
5. Masque (yes Masque!)
6. Seers (TBD)
7. Spiderdragon (TBD)
8.

1st alt Voo (unless VEAT)

Please grab some EoE's if possible.

My global name is the same as my forum handle. I use global channels Victory Forum, Victory Badges, Victory Badges 2009 (join them please!).

I plan to start forming at LG at 920PM and start at 930PM - if an alt is ready at 930PM and you are not there, I will take the alt and start. I am not restarting if some one shows up after 930PM.

AVOID PYLONS between missions.

General plan is the following:
Miss 1 - Work our way to Penny, but clear the room only and don't free her until we are ready. Once we have her, get moving out. For the AV, wait for the team to be together before rushing or someone will die about a half second later from his psi AOE.

Miss 2 - So far, IME, these have been straightforward defeating the mobs if we stick close and go at the same time.

Miss 3 - We will discuss how to proceed then. No issues except the AV and his mega AOEs to avoid.

Miss 4 - I could use some help calling out targets. Pulling Rikti and then to Mitos/Pylons followed by Hami. This is where we have been failing - people have been running in and drawing Hami fire. Do not go until we clear the mitos.

Miss 5 - If possible, stealth down if people want to avoid fighting, otherwise, we will fight our way down. Pull the AVs, and then AS A TEAM, take out the generators.

Wheee!

Shows how much I pay attention. I wonder what the "straw that broke the camel's back" was? I mean there were tons of crazy tags, and people were griping about neg rep attacks all the time. Did some one neg rep/tag one step too far?

I agree that it would be complicated.

I would like something described in the OP more like an Eden Trial, where the zone and ship are one big instanced map.

General story would be a "elite" team needs to break into the ship for some Earth-saving reason. So they would need to take the pylons down, break-in, and fight to the center of the ship, defeating a mob or clicking some glowy simultaneously.

The Eden trial is already set up as a large map, you have doors to breakdown, and monsters like the Quarries to fight. Changing those to Rikti-like scenarios would be for this "trial". Oh, and make it timed too!

EDIT - I got it now LOL! Make it so that the ship is trying to take off. The team needs to destroy the generators that the Rikti obtained. Thus stalling them from leaving, yet again...

My understanding of the mobs is that they are made at predefined levels. Did this change recently? I am not aware of it if it has.

An example are the Rikti which show up at lvl30, even if you are in a lvl29 mission.

So for Clocks and other mobs (Tsoo, Vahz, Sky Raiders, etc.), they don't exist at 50 and would have to be made.

Plus the TFs, trials like the one in the hollows, and SFs (can't forget those) are set up around the power sets you have in that range. Just look now having the extra powers when exemp'ing down how much easier these S/TFs are. A group of 50's would just fly through these events for easy rewards.

Just tossing my 2 inf since wasn't clear any one said this specifically (and sorry if you did!), in that frankenslotting the "less" popular sets into powers, if possible, is an option.

I know not all powers are as flexible, but, as an example, some ranged and melee sets take other sets like slow, KB, tohit debuff, etc. You don't need to slot for KB or slow if you don't want too, but those sets also contain things like end/rech IOs or acc/dam IOs. If the powers take only ranged or melee (as an example), there are the less popular ones in there too. It all comes down to how much or a bonus you want and can add up.
So on some of my toons now that need some extra rech/end/acc/whatever, I will frankenslot from various common sets and get the bonuses (NOT set bonuses) I want. Just look at ALL the sets you can slot for a power, and then dig down further into the sets, many times you will see like 50 recipes for sale and 0 bids. I have gotten a lot of recipes like that for as low as 5 inf bids.
The salvage can be relatively cheaply bought by just waiting overnight in most cases. Place a cheap bid, come back the next day, and there you go.
Craft up and now you may have acc/end/rech/etc. bonuses and cheaper too.
If you want set bonuses, then that will be more expensive. And takes a different route.

Lastly, I always recommend to plan for the future. This doesn't directly help your lvl27, but planning now for what you want a 50 may help some. For example, I had an idea for a brute in GR. I have mapped out the general build and IOs I want (Numina, Miracle, etc.) I placed my bids in the spring - cheap bids. I now have all but 1 of my IOs I plan to use. Yes, it took months of just checking every so often, but I saved a ton of inf in the process.

Well, AWESOME!

Thanks all on the successful Master BSF run last night.

Great, solid team:
3 corr, 2 VEATS, 1 brute, 1 stalker, 1 MM

A bit over 2 hrs (2:11 or 2:21??? - I was so tired I forgot to write down the time!).

We had some excitement at the end with a few late ambush waves right when we were taking Reich down and had to back up on the fight to clear on those pesky mobs.

Finally have all the current master badges. Not sure I will try to get the opposing side master badges on one toon after GR.

I think I have 1 free Friday before GR comes out and considering possibly another MLGTF run for the fun of it. Got to see what will work.

Have fun!

Nothing can top his cats/gold exchange. That still freak me out.

Okay, cy'all tonight. Will be by Barracuda around 920PM.

BrandX covers pretty what I think on PPPs for corruptors.

My 50 fire/rad corr is the only one with Mu mastery, and just for power sink. Which to me is still situational against long AV fights, running toggles, and using lots and lots of fire MUHAHA..er pardon me, got a bit too excited.

Anyhow, I also have a:
- 50 ice/cold corr with mace since cold has a way to restore end, and a nice pet that I buff up.
- 50 son/kin corr with soul since, again, kin has a way to restore end, and that hold is just too awesome.
- 50 dark/therm corr with sould only because of that hold!
- and lastly a DP/traps corr at 41, which is taking mace because I burn practically no end on that toon and just want to stay in theme with traps and pistols (yeah, mace was the closest IMO).

So I guess Mu is nice, but the type of corr has affected my choices.

As for the KB protection, yeah, I try to find 1 slot somewhere in the build for an IO. 4 pts is nice for most of the game.
