Finished up on Tuesday night playing Police Woman on a Master of the Statesman TF attempt that was recruiting from LBx. Most of the team seemed to know each other, so it looked like I was just a pickup to fill one of their last two slots. Our team mix was:
sonic/psy defender
claw/regen scrapper
stone/stone tanker (Project 311 Laseracid's tank)
ill/emp controller
fire/kin controller
AR/dev blaster (me)
elec/elec blaster
sonic/dark defender
The team leader invited me to a vent server that most of the team was on, and they all seemed pretty nice. We didn't have a rad, but the sonic defenders were quite effective at buffing/debuffing. The TF went really well up to the treespec; everyone was being pretty paranoid about the tree initially, but while killing vines we were getting respawns and I think we got a bit sloppy rushing to kill vines and one of the defenders got spiked to death by the thorn tree. By that point it was too late to restart and so we pushed on through the rest of the STF, though people got a lot lazier about buffs and aggro control, so we had several more deaths before the TF was done, finishing in 2hrs 14mins and getting me a Stupefy: chance for knockback recipe. (An SHO is probably on-the-average more valuable, but there are lots of recipes I still want and few HOs that I still need.) The team leader did teach me a couple new tricks, though; apparently when you have thorn tree aggro, there is a visual cue in that the ground under your toon becomes prickly-looking, so that can be a warning that you need to go hide. Also, he had me pull the patron AVs in the last mission, using the shoot them/TP the puller trick; he asked me to pull them from a particular spot, due west of the AV-lineup, instead of south towards the team. This theoretically pulls the AV away from the other 3 AVs instead of perpendicularly, so will be more likely to result in a single pull. Using this technique, my first pull was Ghost Widow (solo; we kited her around a bit before immobing and shooting her to death), my second pull was Scirocco/Captain Mako (and Mako either didn't have time to elude or our triple tactics was enough to get past it), and the tanker just grabbed Black Scorpion at the end.
