OMG. Teh Cow is back!

OMG. I'M back!

This seems to be the best way to do it. I've actually had one or two drop while inside a trial, but only one or two. Ever. So crafting the ones you want/need from Threads is still the easiest and most reliable way to get them.

I was on the path by the corner just before the path opened up to A1 doing the same thing.

I'm definitely curious now about the AoE slows vs Targeted slows against the LTs. If things like Snow Storm or Syphon Speed work on them. Hmm... Lingering Radiation is a toggle, right? I wonder if they CAN be affected by controls but they just have something special where they shake the effect almost immediately. But since it's a Toggle, is continuously affecting them, it leaves them slowed because they're continuously shaking then reapplying the affect. I kind of want to get my Stormy and my Kin in there now to test it out. Unfortunately, neither of them have their level shift yet.

Depends on your context. And what the secondaries are. Since it sounds like DEDICATED slows may work on the Lts, the sets that have those will come out on top. In some ways, some of the Defender sets almost sound like they may work better for handling the minions than controllers. All a Bubbler, of any kind, needs to do is pop Force Bubble, and just stand in one of the pathways. They could go afk and not a single minion would get past him.

Hmm... In that mindset, a Stormy might also work well if the theory about dedicated slows is true. Turn Hurricane on while standing in the middle of a pathway, to keep the minions from passing. And drop a Snow Storm on an Lt to slow him and possibly any others that get past.

I find myself curious about the pathing that the escapees use. Are they dedicated to using the pathways? What will happen if they get knocked off it, and onto the grass? Will they try getting back on the path, or will they start running across the grass to their destination? CAN you knock them off the path?

That's what I observed as well. It might be beneficial to have one team specifically dedicated to taking out the Adds, while the others beat on the AVs. Or if one team isn't enough, use two teams, one for each type of Add, who will then jump back onto the AVs once they have their type all down.

That's for d@mn sure.

Hmm... Has Bonfire actually found a good use now? For blocking off one of the escape paths?

Oh, and Detention Field doesn't work on the Lts. Well, it makes them unaffectable by our powers, but it doesn't keep them from moving. Learned that the hard way. Hmm... I wonder if Wormhole would work on them.... I doubt it, but I'll have to try.

I have to say that Force Bubble was actually very useful here. The escapees will pretty much only walk on the walkways, so a couple FF Controllers/Defenders can fairly easily contain the minions, leaving all the other people to deal with the Lts.

For now.
