We did have 2 rads, but I think one didn't have lingering rad yet (only 48, dinged 49 and got it afterwards) and both kept getting stunned because they got too close to Reichs (his AOE is really big!).

All the rads in the world wont do a lick of difference if he phases... The fact he phases wasnt the bad part, it's the fact he took all his health back when he did. The part that really peeves me off tho, is that the Devs are allowing content into the game that requires a specific type of player to succeed.

I asked Oz what his numbers were and he said tat his s/l/e/n defense was in the mid to upper 30s I think. With even a small defense buff from fort or a bubble he'd be over the cap. Also, Ice Armor depends heavily on its aura being a damage debuff. However AVs heavily resist such debuffs. So it's conceivable that an AV with high tohit attacking when our rad debuffers were stunned could hit Oz 3 times in a short time period when the Ice Dp equivalent is down and take him out. The problem is this happened several times which seems unlikely.

My numbers (from what I can see in the tanker forums) are in the normal-high end. And as for IO bonuses, I went for maximum regen, some resistance to s/l/c/f/psi, and a little defense. Ycebergg used to be great, and he hasnt changed since I purped him out around a year ago... so unless some changes were made to mobs, or that CoV mobs work seriously differently compared to CoH mobs, I'm at a loss here to figure out what happened.

Interestingly enough, I again attempted (and succeeded at) the MoBSF last night with 4 MMs, a Blaster, Warshade (Me), Dom, and a Stone Brute. The MMs were /ff, /pain, /storm, etc. with leadership and we had tons of buffs. The Stone Brute had defense numbers in the 50% range and we had spot heals from O2 boost. And stone has both +regen and massive resistence in granite/rooted. Even so he nearly dropped several times in the final fight (as did I even with perma 85% res in dwarf form due to team link). The MMs were amazing by the way, reminded me a lot of a day long ago when a Corruptorless, MM heavy team (including Badge and I on our MMs) finished the LRSF back when the AVs were level 54 and IOs didn't exist.

Again... they shouldnt make one AT absolutley necessary...

So in short Oz, I think you just got unlucky combined with missing about one key buffer. If you recall there was a stretch against Reichs where he didn't scratch you for a LONG time. Of course, we couldn't scratch him either.

Numina cleaned my clock... twice... The only thing I can see there is that the longbow debuffed me allowing her the chance to take me down so fast... but seriously, she shouldnt have been able to pull that off. Ive tanked here hundreds of times (AE arc/CoH missions/etc etc etc).

The Patrons: IIRC, I think Cap Mako and GW didnt kill me (I was surpsrised at GW, with the luck I was having I was expecting her to kill me for sure). But BS and Sci to kill me? In the STF, I can take BS, Sci and Mako all at once and survive for a couple of minutes with no support, and they are level 54!!!

Again, unless something was changed that I am not aware of, thats the only thing I can see.

Next time, I'll bring my MM, troller, or defender to the party now that my badge obsession is sated. And why can't we IO you out to the gills so your natural defense is about 5 to 10 pts higher and your +hp click is perma?

Again... im slotted for max regen. I dont think I can go any higher. As for defense, I doubt I could go much higher there as well.

Edit: And if you really want to see how the experts get the BSF done, you might want to run it with Kid, Talbein, Impyre, Chiller, etc. They have far more experience on the extreme TFs, especially villain-side. But wouldn't it be epic if us POW channel folks could do it? Maybe we should bring out all the old guard (you, me, alber, stale, cass, tab, teen, tal, etc.) and teach Reichs a lesson?

I'll have to ask them, but honestly, I know we might have needed help tactic wise, but I started this thread cause I feel something is wrong/changed statistic wise... be it the MoBSF or any other lvl 50 content, Ycebergg doesnt feel the same right now, and I know tanks had something done to their HP.

I think, in some way, it is tied to Ambient Occlusion, since I noticed it decreases considerably when I turn down Ambient Occlusion, but it doesn't go away entirely. This issue popped up today, after this morning's patch.
