Team ParaTurg:
We lost Snowdream for Part 2. Thanks for joining, gang! -
If no one else can bring a Tanker, I have a new WP/Dark that I can bring. I'd rather play the Blaster, but can change if necessary.
-
Just a quick update: family's already on the road home, so I'll be there.
-
E, I'm probably not going to be able to make these TFs after all. I've got family coming into town tomorrow and I don't know how long they'll be here, so go ahead and push me down to the alternate (iffy) list. Thanks!

Edit: Turg beat me to it.
Well, we managed to get the badge on our second try, as Rox already said. Attempt #1 ended when an ambush tagged a squishy on the second to last mission. We used the rest of the TF as "practice" after deciding to run a second attempt, finishing #1 in just over 45 minutes and something like 10 deaths.
The second run went much smoother. I think Turg caught some aggro in either the first or third mission, but that was the only hold your breath moment. I used the taunt at range on an immobilized R-Man method for the finale, which made for an easy win. Run #2 was also 45 minutes or something silly like that.
Team: Gun Father, Fugly as Sin, Pyrewulf, Radiant Auura, Shadowrush, Gentry McGovern, Fairy Morna, and Temptations' character (Pie something, don't remember the name, sorry
).

Go ahead and auto-add me on Paragon's Conquest (Psi/Elec Blaster).

Freedom isn't free
If you were asked to give up your dreams for freedom
What would you do
If asked to make the ultimate sacrifice
Would you think about all them people
Who gave up everything they had
Would you think about all them War Vets
And would you start to feel bad
Freedom isn't free
It costs folks like you and me
And if we don't all chip in
We'll never pay that bill
Freedom isn't free
No, there's a hefty f'in fee
And if you don't throw in your buck 'o five
Who will?
What would you do
If someone told you to fight for freedom
Would you answer the call
Or run away like a little [cat]
'Cause the only reason that you're here
Is 'cause folks died for you in the past
So maybe now it's your turn
To die kicking some [donkey]
Freedom isn't free
It costs folks like you and me
And if we don't all chip in
We'll never pay that bill
Freedom isn't free
No, there's a hefty f'in fee
And if you don't throw in your buck 'o five
Who will?
You don't throw in your buck 'o five
Who will?
Oo, buck 'o five
Freedom costs a buck 'o five -
I'd say do the next run (I think I remember you saying you'll be doing villain stuff next round) on a new server, since almost everyone makes a new lowbie anyway. Of course, those that don't join us every week might get left out in the cold, but not falling behind might be an incentive to continue joining every week. 0=)

On topic, I've farmed at least to some extent with a Fire Control/Kinetics Controller, Mind Control/Thorny Assault Dominator, Invulnerability/Super Strength Tanker, Energy Melee/Invulnerability Brute, Archery/Mental Manipulation Blaster, and Electrical Melee/Shield Defense Scrapper. Of those, the Fire/Kin had the most trouble, but I hate Kinetics so I might have been biased in mindset while playing. -
Sign me up on Hatake Hayate (Elec/Energy Stalker). Also, if you need something to do one of these weeks, I have Scirocco unlocked as my Patron. His arcs are some of the better ones in the late CoV game (imo).
-
Sign me up as TBA. If you'd like to bring your Troller Gen, I can bring a Tank of some kind.

I'll either be on Dr. Hollywood (Emp/Psi Defender) or Infinite Agony (Mind/Thorn Dom), depending on whether or not I manage to get the badge before Saturday.
General strategy for the Mitos has been:- Tank/Brute Taunts yellows as Melee ATs (and only melee ATs) attack. If the team has an Empath with +Regen, no EoEs should be needed at this point.
- Tank/Brute Taunts blues/greens to pull the damage off the Ranged ATs while they kill one blue at a time (Melee ATs take a nap). Exiting after each blue is recommended, to let the -heal from the green's attacks fade. If you have an Emp/Sonic/Pain/MedPool, they should keep the Tank/Brute and all other ranged toons CMed/Clarified/EMed/Stimed at all times during this part (small note: Kinetics' ID does not have -fear). If you exit after each kill, EoEs shouldn't be needed.
- Tank/Brute pulls aggro again, and may need to use EoEs at this point. The Green Mitos have 50 hold resistance, so Mez ATs should be only using single target or very small AoE holds; and spamming them. When the Mito is held, its health will begin dropping very quickly, at which time the Melee ATs can enter the frey if the Ranged damage cannot overwhelm the heals from the neighboring greens. It's recommended to keep meleers out during this phase though, to help prevent accidental aggro on Hamidon.
Reminder: the green Mitos have a massive -heal (-75% per icon) and it stacks. After 2 icons stack, your heals are only about 6% effective, and only 1% at 3. At 4 stacks, the game rounds down to 0 healing received. DO NOT rely on your heals while fighting the greens. If you take too much green aggro, retreat and let the icons vanish, then heal and re-enter the jello. - Tank/Brute draws Hami aggro AWAY from the rest of the group. EoEs are recommended, but not entirely necessary (an Empath with Regen Aura, perma-AB, and Absorb Pain with a fast recharge can keep the Taunter alive without them). Note that Hamidon's attacks have a -heal as well, though it's much less than the green mito's (about -10%, I think). If the fight goes on long enough, heals will start doing next to nothing, so bring EoEs just in case regardless (the new e-mail system is wonderful for this).
Obligatory pet peeve micro-rant: If you're a "healer", one of the single dumbest and worst things you can do during the Hamidon fight is stand next to the Tank-type and "rock the aura." Auto-healing is a Wall of Shame for Empaths. -

Congrats, though to be honest my first reaction was just a big sigh.
(I think I'm on attempt #12 for this badge.) -
