    And on another note, I'm tossing around the idea of doing a no-retreat three rounder on Monday. Everyone game?
    Hey Arwen, I'm up for it. I've also been kicking around the idea of a two round raid (which we briefly discussed).

    Which leads me to.... I was wondering if anyone has the numbers or ideas about the amount of debuffing we'd need to bring down Hami with two spawns of greens supporting him. From what I've seen at the 3 rounders, current debuffs(from raiders) + Pets/Temp pets (a mix, and difficult to pin down #'s and %'s) + approx 5-10 Nukes (I'm thinking around 6 or 7), pretty much puts Hami away almost before the Tanks get back into position ( I got one taunt off, just as the mito spawned, last time).

    As I see it, it looks like the Chem and Bio nukes are the most beneficial, with the Nuke nuke, providing a nice additional damage push.

    Anyways, I'd appreciate any insights/numbers/advice/thoughts you have.
  3. No problem, anytime you'd like to see how it works let me know. I'll try to get you on the team when I'm leading, and I'm sure the same goes for Arwen.
  4. Three round Hami tonight, so bring your nuke, shivans and Vanguard Heavies.

    BloodsongX, if you want to see how the Hami Aggro team works (and if there's room) I can invite you to the team.
  5. I just wanted to check that you are running one tonight. 3rd Tuesday has been the one we've been using for Freedom's TT. Not, that there's any reason not to run one on Liberty at the same, but it could effect the turnout and who can/would be able to participate (as there will be two running at the same time).

    If this is going to be an ongoing event can you post it on the Tanker forums as well? That way folks could see which event they want to attend.
  6. Hi all,

    With GR hitting this month (after our regular TTJ, and after all September's TTs were scheduled) I thought I'd see if there was any interest in getting a TT Praetoria going.

    Right now we have October 26th, and November 23 open, this would be a TTJ in addition to our normal one on the 2nd Tuesday of each month, so essentually we'd get two in for whichever month we choose to do it in.

    Let me know what you think/your ideas and if there's any interest (yes, I've already have a Tank rolled in Praetoria ).

    Tanker Tuesday

    Hi all,

    Tanker Tuesday is scheduled as usual for Freedom today. Being that GR will go live for everyone today and from what I saw of Freedom's activity yesterday (grayed out = extremely busy), it might be difficult to get on to the server, which could complicate start times, team setup etc...

    Let's not sweet it. We'll get the teams going as we can. If you arrive late please broadcast on TankHQ and we'll try to get you a team. If you're going to be "Going Rogue" and running a Tank feel free to get a GR TT team running.

    We had initially planned on running Synapse and/or Manti, so we'll stick to that plan and see what kind of teams we can get. If server lag and queing are causing problems we'll run mission teams and pick up our normally scheduled TT TFs next month.

    Take care all, see ya' soon!
  8. I'll admit it's been years since I've used Hover while tanking, at that time you still got Knockedback. I take it it's changed since then? Before it was KB + twirl, now it's just twirl? Just looking for clarification.

    Fire/KM build

    Working with what you've already posted and just taking a quick second at work, here's what I've come up with. It adds and additional +20% Recharge.

    Other things you could try:
    Use Pyre Mastery and leverage Decimation (+6.25%) on another set, you'd need to find 2 slots somewhere
    Mocking Beratement 6 slotted would net 7.5% Recharge
    Presence Pool, gets you (at least) another "Taunt" (see above) and access to Fear Powers (5 slotted GotA 6.25%).
    Purple Sets, two 5 slotted Purples (Hecatomb and Armagedon) would add an additonal +10%
    Add either Hover or Manuevers for another 7.5 from LotG

    Yep, we'll do another 3 rounder on Wednesday, so make sure to get Nukes, shivans and Vanguard Heavies after the raid on Monday.

    Regarding the direction of Hami's blasts, you need KB protection to not get thrown around by it, I think it's some thing like 12+ (iirc 10 is enough for Yellow Mito Blasts, but Hami hits a little harder). So, I'm not sure that you could get enough KB protection on most Tanks capable of Flight/Hover w/o Acrobatics or additional IO enhancements. Just a nitpick, but if the attempt to direct Hami's blasts (other than at the ground) are made the Tank will need to be maneuverable.

    Nukes, Shivans and Vanguard Heavies would be a big help, and you could possibly cut the number of "rounds" down to 3 (almost for sure) and maybe even 2.

    Just a thought, with a bunch of Tankers meleeing with the Yellows, Gauntlet could strip aggro from the taunting Tank resulting in random blasts from the mito. With an all Tank raid this might not be a big deal, but is something to be aware of.

    Green Mitos, hold vs stunned, an interesting idea, havent' seen it tried but would like to know the results you get.

    Are you going to try this on the test server first, or live? In either case, please let me know as I would love to participate.

    Tanker Tuesday

    Tanker Tuesday here next week, August 171th. Come get your fix of all Tanker teaming goodness! I think we did Citadel and Posi last time, so let's look at Synapse and/or Manti for this one.

    See ya' all there!
  16. Interesting... Did they change the bug that was causing the self stunning? Or, am I think of a different Proc? I'll check to see if I can slot one. Last time I tried I thought it was grayed out (Not allowed).
  17. Hi all,

    Wednesday's are going to be funky for me trying to get nukes before Wednesday raids. I've got Tanker Tuesdays the night before and generally Wednesday is a busy day for me at work...so, the long and short is I'll have to plan out a 3 rounder a week or so in advance. That said, tonight I was caught short. I'm hoping next week to try a three rounder. Although I'm somewhat concerned that we'll either a) have enough nukes left from Monday's raid or b) be able to get them replenished by Wednesday's (I won't be able to myself, not enough hours in the day ).
  18. Doh! I forgot we'll be on Guardian Sept, 28th.
  19. Hi Fin,

    I'll check my spreadsheet (yes I had to start one), but yes, we'll get back there. I just need to see when we can set one up.
  20. Hi all,

    We had a great turn out for the TT "Summer Freeze" and one anniversary of TTJ! We also had some great costume/theme/concepts to help keep the event in theme. So, thanks to all for the creative work and effort put into your toons. I'd like to give a big Tanker Tuesday salute to Ice Knight and P.E.R.C for supplying us with the prizes and to The Ocho for the cool (pun intended) gold titles.

    We had four teams running, two Task Forces (Katie and Citadel) and two radio teams.

    As mentioned, the globals went down which made picking up our TT strays and keeping in touch a bit difficult, but on the plus side I think enough folks out there know us TT vets and are able to put players interested in the event in contact with us. So, good job and tanks to all you TT vets out there that come to all the TTs and "tour" with us.

    As always I like to thank all who lead teams (makes organizing the events easier) and a special thanks the Rangle, Ice and The Ocho who were my fellow CC/theme judges. And, another special thanks to Rangle who helped get things rolling so I could finish handing out prizes and such.

    Oh, and we had a special visit from Philly who brought her rather peculiar "Tank" with a power set I didn't recognize... Always good to see you!

    Thank you all for making TTJ's one year anniversary and "Summer Freeze" a great event!!

    See you on Freedom next week!
  21. I thought they "turned off" the Proc from PZ in Invincibility a while ago. If it's in there it's not doing much good. If that's the case a respec would be a better option to recover the IO and either use the slot somewhere else, or add a common IO Taunt (of course you could just put the common IO over the PZ Proc, but then you'd lose it).

    Bummer PapaSlade, but we'll hope for the best and look forward to seeing you again in October (just in time for another TTJ event).

    As always an Ice Aura or Ice Melee tank is not required for the event, the idea is to showcase Ice's ability to tank. So if you've got one on Justice bring it on out to play.
    I just wanted to reinterate what Rangle has said here. The idea is to highlight Power Sets not restrict anyone from playing. Throughout the year we've had several themes (The "Winter Meltdown" and The "Spring Smash" so far). The theme this time is the "Summer Freeze" and we are using it to highlight the Ice sets, but having one of them is not required to participate in the event.

    That said, I would like to encourage everyone to use their creativity and ingenuity to costomize their Power Sets and costumes to match the event theme (and if your back story fits into the event theme, so much the better!). This is for fun, so have a good time getting creative, see you soon!

    **The next TTJ themed event will be "Fall Harvest" most likely held in October and will Highlight any "harvesting/reaping" themes, so Dark, Axe, Dual Blades, etc... **
  24. TTJ Tomorrow night! One year anniversary!! See ya' all there!
  25. TTJ tomorrow night! "Summer Freeze" and one year anniversary! See ya' all there!
