Paladin

You're not imagining things! It happens really fast, but I specifically remember a guy looking suspiciously close to Brandon Routh's Clark Kent standing in front of a window; he's facing away from the camera, but his reflection is easy enough to see in the window. I didn't have time to check if the woman was Lois-esque or not, but that wouldn't surprise me.

That's something to work off of! Hopefully we'll get some interplay as the event goes on - and a slight schedule to work with for those of us also on the West Coast. Sounds fun!

Which brings us to tonight's lesson, folks. Browse through a thread before posting excited "news."

This is why you're one of my favorite posters to read.

D'oh! I'd wager you're right, then. Which means the event is probably next Tuesday. Have fun at the summit!

I've read that Broadsword/Shield is pretty amazing. If we had powerset respecs within an AT, I'd reroll Pal as one in a heartbeat.

There's a few. They mostly hide in the Pocket D. It's another perfect instance where the global note feature comes in handy.

Because they didn't see the rest of the post, I bet. Seriously, it's just a head's up akin to "Use those free respecs, guys!" while they put the 8th year anniversary decorations up.

For the Underground, have someone fly and taunt during AV fights. War Walkers' Targeting is a cone or targeted PBAoE against the person who has aggro, so if you angle the Walkers into attacking up you can keep the league from being targeted. This means you only have to worry about one person getting hit by Lethal Force Authorized, instead of the whole league. Note that no one should be flying next to the flying taunter, otherwise they'll both be hit and the Targeted special attacks do stack.

Have someone use Barrier for burst damage mitigation whenever you see Lethal Force Authorized flash on the screen during War Walker fights. On the off chance that there's loose aggro, this can easily prevent a league wipe. 4 Barriers on the Underground is what I usually strive to have. 4 T3 or T4 Clarions alongside this is ideal.

Flying against the Avatar of the Hamidon can leave him unable to attack outside of Will of the Earth. This can mitigate the insane defense/res debuffs from being in melee range against him. Make sure the flying taunter of the Avatar has Clarion and some break frees, or coordinate firing Clarion when they're closeby. Otherwise they can accidentally taunt a leaguemate suddenly and lose aggro.

MoM: During the first phase, if the league isn't used scattering before the rings fire, have a taunter get the Nightmare to chase them around 4 seconds before World of Anguish goes off. If the nightmare's already moving when the circles fire you can maneuver it beyond them easily.

There's a contact in between phases that lets you stock up on inspirations. Use resistance inspirations generously to counteract the rings - 2-4 inspirations at a time can really make a difference and they're dirt cheap.

BAF: Taunters should stop taunting and shed aggro once they have two rings. As long as someone else takes the third ring in a set, the taunter can return to melee combat without worry - one of their rings will expire before the fourth ring is fired. Note this only factors in attention from one AV - two AVs can stack rings very quickly. In general, it's best to juggle AV aggro instead of maintaining it; the expiration of rings make it more accurate to think of it in terms of "3 in a row" rather than 3 stacks.

Here's hoping they can cook the Tyrant trial a little bit longer and add one or two more phases to the finale. Go out with a bang! And not just in a cutscene.
