Mr E-Man

Delayed After-Action Report:

It was a pretty good run - we did have to do a restart as we had a quick death in the second mission on our first attempt.

I say pretty good, but we failed at the Master of... portion of the night.

In the last mission, we had an all-pull situation - we managed to get Numina down but while fighting the other AVs, I was tagged & dropped for our first death. Another quick death follow mine almost immediately - we wound up with 11 defeats, completing the SF in 1 hr 43 mins.

We had a shot, but couldn't take it home.

Next Saturday will be a different Master of... run - taking a break from Recluse for a bit. I am debating on which one to run, but I should have the post up by tomorrow.

Thanks for joining everyone & thanks for sticking it out even though we had all of the Heroes on top of us.

An all around good run last night.

The Team:

Mr E-Villain
Mind Rad
Queen of Underworld
Supreme Soviet
Strike Girl
Infinite Agony
Blazing Mist
Agent Justitia


Sister Psyche TF - Time: 1:41:22 // 5 Defeats

Thanks for joining everyone!

Next week...is an off week...but Heroic Wednesdays for Reformed Villains will return on Wednesday, December 1, 2010 with the Moonfire Task Force!

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.

Mr E-Man’s MoLRSF Mission Notes:

• 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!

Come & join in the fun and while you are at it show Statesman what you really think of him! Sign-up here or send a global to @Mr E-Man

Glad you are back Paragon!


That was a very rough run - I really hate not being able to complete a TF/SF.

So what does everyone think? One more go before moving on to greener pastures?

Just a reminder...

Thanks for joining last night everyone!

We had 2 teams of 6 run the Heart of the Hollows Story Arc - since we did not have full teams, we run the CoT Trial back-to-back filling in with people from the first run.

Sorry it took so long for me to find an unoccupied obelisk on the 2nd run...

Next week will be the Sister Psyche Task Force: Clamor and Destruction!

I will have a sign-up posted by tomorrow.

Thanks again for joining.

Yeah - not the best of runs - but it was certainly doable with the team we had (both tries).
