I haven't really taken a look at them since before the "fix" a while back anyway, so I don't know if 7 is the new norm or not, but that's the only info I have about it. I'll have to examine one again on the next run for comparison.

That said, I run this regularlay without using any crazy tricks, so i don't see why people would get all crazy and boot people over it. If I were you, I'd simply put those people on /ignore and move on.

I do know that the pylons are a convenient tool for targeted-foe powers such as Dark and Kin have. On my Dark, I can TP a fallen teammate to a Pylon and use it to rez them.

As far as leading Rikti into the goo... that's always a Good Idea. Not only do they sometimes kill a mito, but they're absorbing all the mito attacks leaving the team to easily kill the mitos.

On a related topic, the glowy power the team leader gets for killing Hami that's supposed to weaken The Honoree truly does nothing mechanically. Castle said so. People are free to delete the power from their Power List menu and save themselves from going into an epileptic fit from the strobing lights.

Really funny to see the entire team faceplanting but you, and them demanding to know why you didn't get killed. The one time I fought crystal titan in the trial, that happened. Everyone else was filling their entire tray with ambrosia, I was filling mine with respites, lucks, and catch breaths. Gave every ambrosia I got to the others. Didn't get hit once the entire crystal titan fight.

On the other hand, elude crashed JUST as the sucker died.

Assume a character with no defensive abilities at all. A level 50 character has 20 inspiration slots so lets say you carry 4 small reds, 12 small purples and 4 small greens. That gives you 3 minutes of combat with softcapped defenses and a 25% damage (50% for the first minute) plus you can heal 100% of your hitpoints in that period. Assuming you have a basic 3 damage, 1 accuracy slotting in your attacks that should be more than adequate to take him down. If that isn't sufficient you could even go to Tier 2 of 3 inspirations. Pack 8 Tier 2 purples, 8 tier 3 reds and 4 tier 3 greens. That gives you four minutes of combat with softcapped defense and +100% damage plus the ability to heal 200% of your base HP.
