Okay, so I was a little off.

The 300 foot range limit is part of Issue 3, so it's not live yet. As of right now, your strategy is fine, and it IS how a few other servers have done it.

The strategy in all its detail, along with a possible way to do the same thing after Issue 3, is posted in this forum, under the heading Hamidon: The Deleted Strategy *SPOILER*

They use 24 Rad/* defenders.

I'm a bit woried though - the Rad primary is so powerful when it's stacked to the caps that other ATs are worse than irrelivant, they are a liability. The Devs may soon be trying decide how best to fix that, and whatever they do may severely hinder the power of individual Rad defenders. The only weakness we have when we are together is status effects, and while that's a big deal, it may not be viewed as a large enough balance to the uber-power that is AM, RI, and EF when stacked.

TopDoc, the only thing wrong with the strategy that I can see is that you cannot have EF up while outside of Hamidon's range. The Devs have changed the range of our toggles to 300 feet, which just happens to be Hammy's range.

This is only from what I've read here on the forums, as I unfortunately am an alt-o-holic and have no characters remotely high enough to tackle a Hamidon raid.

Even so, if you can also develop some sort of strategy to deal with the Mitochondria, the tactic is sound - you still recieve a geometric increase to your power when you add an additional rad/* player.

It may even be possible to do it with an all rad/* team. From what I understand, the Mitochondria Hamidon spawns are Archvillain level enemies, and one is spawned for each player. If you could keep them in a small group (and they likely would be concentrated anyway - they will be attacking the players, who will be clustered for AM) then you could use Radiation Infection to make them a non-issue while you take out Hamidon himself. Lord knows with that many AMs stacked you'll have the Endurance to do it.

After reading this post I took Gamma Burst, my rad/rad alt, out of storage.

This morning I played for about an hour before work, and was fortunate enough to stumble upon another rad/rad of my exact level (we were both 8). One hour later in Perez Park, we had both gone up a level, and I have been wholly convinced of the insane power of an all rad team. Just two stacked AM's and we were significantly more powerful. I handled RI, my groupmate used EF (one each cuts down the endurance drain) and we just Irradiated groups over and over.

Anybody starting a radiation supergroup on Virtue? I'll join in a heartbeat!
