We had two teams run the first round - my team was successful, but unfortunately team two was not:
MoITF One: 03/19/2011 - Success
The Team:
Neon Widow
Golden Jade
Kromlech
Power-Shift
Toxsyn
Sevenpenny

The Team:
Beauty in a Bubble
Radiant Flame Imp
Wandering Samurai
Teal Tabby
Aussie Fauna

The Team:
Proto Charge
LadyNocturne
Teal Tabby
Hatake Kasumi
Golden Gryphon.

Just what exactly IS Master-Blade's Rom-Breaking Method?
Post - I put you on the alt list, but just wanted to let you know we will most likely run two teams (at least for the first run - we'll see how things go after that). Not sure if you said alt because you thought we were full.Quote:Originally Posted by Postagulous
Put me down as an Alt. I'd bring Trixi Chalk, a katana/wp scrapper.

As mentioned, I expanded the sign-up list to two teams - I'll need someone to step in to lead the additional team. Any volunteers? -

Quote:Actually I usually use an AoE attack (if I have one) when I break Romy - this avoids the problem of Romy "not being there" to target.Originally Posted by Luna de Nocturne
One person goes to the hill in front of Romy. As soon as they are close enough, the cut scene triggers. Once the cut scene ends, that person goes up to Romy, and whaps him with a single target attack and then backs off. Avoid taunts and AoE attacks. Basically this breaks his Nictus from following him around. Now you have to be careful when you go to attack him again that you pull him down from the stairs with a single target attack. I've seen the nictus kind of get reattached to him when people have used taunts and AoE attacks to pull him. If he is broken, his pets will stay on the stairs. Be careful to keep Romy in line of site of his pets when he is defeated. That way he can use them to Rez. If he is out of line of site of them, you'll have to take the pets down yourself, and that can suck! Last night Romy disappeared for a good half minute after the cut scene and I got a little worried that it didn't work right. But he was broken when we finally got back to him. When fighting Romy, get out of line of site of him when he rezzes if you are squishy. My favorite method is to back down the stairs. That way I can see him jump up in the air after he rezzes, but he doesn't stun me.
Hope that helps CP =)
The one thing I've found to be useful is to wait a half-second after the cut-scene ends before jumping in...just about every time I've gone in too quickly, he doesn't break. This is especially true if you are using SS for travel.
I would get out of LoS of Romy even if you are not squishy when he rezzes - that stun lasts quite a while - I got stunned on the first rez last night on my brute.
-----------------------------
Anyway - it was a good run last night - we actually fought our way up the hill in the first mission & spawned the ambushes to get some extra drops for everyone.
I neglected to take a screenshot, so I have no stats (we decided to fight all of the EBs in the last mission after we finished up...just for fun).
Next Wednesday we are back to the Shadow Shard for Justin Augustine's - The Saga of Faathim Task Force
And, as announced last night, this week's Master of... attempt(s) will be back-to-back (maybe even -to-back) MoITFs - I will have the post up in just a bit.
Thanks for joining everyone - it was a fun night as always! -
Ok - so apparently my brain must have froze over - Wednesday is actually March 16, not 17 - sorry about the confusion...
I adjusted the date in the OP. -
Quote:From my post:Originally Posted by Luna de Nocturne
And as a general warning, if you want a speed run, make sure you ask E to not put you on my team, cause I'm running it the same way I always do! Fight through to the objectives
This is going to be a non-speed run pretty much clearing the majority of the mobs as we go
So, if you are looking for a speed run - I'm not your man either. -
I was not planning on running the ITF for HWfRV since it is availble for both factions, but since it is the WST, I figured why not...
So the rest of the schedule will be pushed back by a week. -

Paragon: TBA (tank type)
Strike Force Info & Stats:- This Strike Force requires an 8-person team to start & I will set it to No Temp Powers (which includes Veteran Reward Powers) & 0 Defeats
- 6 missions (1 talk to)
- Badge(s): Servant of Recluse, Master/Mistress of Olympus, Annihilator, Master of Lord Recluse's Strike Force for No Deaths/No Temp Powers (no guarantees of course :smirk: ) plus progress towards the Monkeywrencher badge for Zeus Titans among others
- Merit Reward: 25
- This Strike Force (by necessity) will probably be limited to just one team.
- Stick together, listen to instructions & do not be afraid to offer your opinion on strategy!
- First Mission: We have been bypassing the majority of this mission just taking out the objectives & fighting groups when necessary. Just play smart & do not over aggro. The Scientist location can be ascertained by checking the number of red objective points in each door (3 yes / 2 no). Often the glowies can be stealthed. The ambushes & leading the scientist to the glowie has been removed from the SF. Clear the left side to Crimson - Pets on passive to avoid Hero aggro until we are set.
- Second Mission: In the water to the Khronos Titan. Clear around the nearby mobs & take out the Titan. Clear the mob in front of the door. Stealth & TP to the end area if possible, if not stick together & clear. Clear the two areas before opening up the door. After aggroing the Slinger, try to clear the surrounding mobs before taking him down to make it less hectic for when he spawns his bots.
- Fourth Mission: After talking to Grillo (Third Mission), move to the base of the Atlas Statue. We may need to clear some nearby mobs first. Pull to the front foot of the statue (furthest from the Heroes). Pull/Kill order: Numina, Sister Psyche, Manticore, BABs subject to pulling circumstances.
- Fifth Mission: Clear to the Vindicator door, while the rest of the team sets up back down the hall, someone stealthy should open the door. Pull/Kill order: Malaise, Swan, Luminary, Mynx, Valkyrie (x2) subject to pulling circumstances. Clear to the glowie. Set-up & wait for the ambush (we usually go back to the main hall by the large room). Clear to Ms Liberty. Use the rifle on her & take her down.
- Sixth Mission: Clear to the right side of the Atlas Statue (to avoid any cross agro). Stay together & keep buffs/debuffs running. From this side, Pull/Kill order: Numina, Synapse. Clear to the left side of the Atlas Statue. From this side, Pull/Kill order: Sister Psyche, Manticore. From here, we can determine which side to pull from next & which hero to pull. Of course this is all subject to pulling circumstances. Apparently if Statesman is mentally undressing Numina, it will result in an “All-Pull” situation. If this occurs, we will determine a strategy - perhaps logging out to reset the mission & hoping for a better distribution of the heroes. Conversely, we my try the sleep & pull method if we have the right team make-up.
- This is still a work in progress…so please chime in with ideas!

Delayed after-action report:
Well, we failed (first death was in the Vindicator's mission), but it was a good run (after a couple of first mission restarts that is)...
MoLRSF: 02/26/2011 - failure
We had all-pulls on the Vindicators & after initially pulling Numina & downing her in the last mission, the second pull netted the rest of the Freedom Phalanx. But even with all of that, we still only had four deaths.
The Team:
Neon Widow
Master-Blade
Cool Heals
Zanzibar Crocker
Toxsyn
LoveTrain
Captain Power
Lightning Demon
And once again (looks like this might become an on-going thing for after the weekend Master of.. attempt), after we finished up, we ran the Weekly Strike Target (Silver Mantis SF) which went pretty well!
Thanks for joining everyone - sorry we did not get the Master of... badge this time around, but we'll be going after it again this Saturday!
