Sounds good. Was he the one that played Sky Crush at the last all-Tanker get together (the AE Challenge)? Be great to have him on the team again. Now if I could only snag Daranable, Fistocuffs, and Rylas too then we'd have the whole gang back.

Oh, I think we'll just be facing mostly Longbow and Arachnos with some AVs or Heroes sprinkled in. The arc's author just named it the Nemesis TF because he used Nemesis as the main contact for giving out missions. Otherwise, stacked Vengeance would be too scary for me.

We'd be more than happy to have you along. What's your Tanker's name? I'll add him to the team roster.

Plenty of room left for tomorrow night's run. Three spots definitely open, possibly five. (There's two people who contacted me in-game that are maybe's.) If, by chance, everyone that signs up is level 50, then I'll raise the difficulty level. Although if we just have a small team, I'll bring along a Vanguard Heavy and a Shivan Shard to hedge our bets against any of the AVs/Heroes we encounter.

Just wanted to say, awesome thread. And hopefully no one minds, but I plan to take an all-Tanker team through some of these arcs (starting with The Nemesis Task Force).

ALL-TANKER TEAM - NEMESIS TASK FORCE (+2/x8)

The illustrious Smurphy has commisioned the creation of a rough-and-tumble Task Force for his Fallout pleasure in this thread. His contest isn't over yet, but he has started ranking some of the submissions that he's received so far. The Nemesis Task Force by @Psyonico is currently ranked the highest and I thought that it might be fun to try taking an all-Tanker team through it. It's quite lengthy though (5 missions total) and I realize that midweek isn't the most ideal time to run a TF, but if anyone's up for it let's see how far we can get within our two-hour window.

Normally, my Wednesday night events are run at +4/x8 but for this one I've decided to go with +2/x8 so that those non-50 Tankers who'd like to participate won't get too overwhelmed. Not to mention that there are AVs/Heroes in this TF and they'd be a pain to whittle down at level 54.

So anyway, if you're interested in joining, just post your Tanker's name, level, and powersets and I'll add you to the team roster. Thanks.

● Sidekicks are welcome. However, due to the difficulty of this TF, it's highly recommended that your Tanker be at least level 22 (and slotted with SOs) by the time of this event.

1. Ice Armor/Spines Tanker
2. Stone Armor/Spines Tanker
3. Illusion Control/Dark Miasma Controller

The Good: All-SG Team running radios mishes in PI. Had as much fun bantering with sg-mates as I did fighting/earning double xp.

The Bad & Ugly: A random PuG with an anal-retentive leader who insisted on micromanaging everything. He also wasted way too much time before every fight explaining "his strategy" in excruciating detail. I stuck around for one mish out of a perverse desire to see what a train wreck it would turn out to be. Lol, I was not disappointed.

A hearty thanks from me to the following Tankers for participating in tonight's event: Daranable, Fistocuffs, iTaunt., Ro'gan, and Sky Crush. I had a fun time and I hope you all did too. That AE mish was tough but we prevailed with half an hour to spare. I'd fight side-by-side with any of you guys again, any time.

Sorry Ry, no TS or Vent AFAIK. We should be fine though. *knock on wood*

I'll be at the AE Building in Peregrine Island by 7:45PM to start assembling the team. So see you guys tonight!

Two days and counting with four spots still available. Any other level 50 Tankers interested in tackling this AE Challenge?

For those who've already signed up, if you've done the Valentine's Day event, the Nectar temp power may prove to be very useful Wednesday night.

LEVEL 50 ALL-TANKER TEAM - AE CHALLENGE (+4/x8)

Since the last get-together went so well, I've decided to go ahead and do another one. But this time instead of radio missions, I've chosen a pain-in-the-@ss AE mission. I stumbled across it when I read this thread and thought that it'd be a daunting challenge even for eight tricked-out Tankers. There are no AVs, but there are Elite Bosses. And there are no custom mobs, but the author did stock the mission with the ones that we all know and love (Arachnos, Carnies, Knives of Artemis, Malta, Nemesis, Rikti, Rularuu, Vanguard, etc.). There's also a two hour time limit so whether we beat it or not, the get-together will end at approximately 10pm Eastern. If you're interested in participating, just post your Tanker's name, level, and powersets and I'll add you to the team roster. Thanks.

I also provided the arc's ID number below so if anyone wants to check it out ahead of time, feel free to do so. If you can come up with a strategy for the full team to use to beat it, that'd be awesome.

● Bring your toughest and meanest Tanker! So please be level 50 by the time of this event if you aren't already.
● Come with every survival trick that you've got. (Elusive Mind, Ethereal/Phase Shift, Eye of the Magus, Wedding Band, etc.)
● Stock up on inspirations. (Although leaving the mish to buy more is perfectly fine since the AE Inspiration Vendor is right there.)

Thank you to everyone who came out for the all-Tanker team night. I had a blast and it was great to be drowning in a sea of baddies fighting shoulder-to-shoulder with you guys. We mainly fought Arachnos, Circle of Thorns, and Council. Strangely, I was never offered a Carnie mish -- probably a good thing.

Anyway, here are the evening's MVP Awards:

First to Die - Anub' Arok (lol)
Most AoE Carnage - Ro'gan (Shield Charge + Footstomp ftw!)
Most Talkative - Xoeei Chill (my SG's leader, no surprise there)
Best Herders - Tie between Viral Smite & 2 of 2 (they would leapfrog ahead and bring back an aggro-cap's worth of baddies with them, awesome!)

Hope you all had fun and I may try to put together another all-Tanker team next week since there seems to be a lot of interest. We had a full team of eight which was more than I expected. Glad to see such a great turnout!

Got ya down as an alternate, Rokig. I think there's one or two people who aren't 100% sure about making it tonight, so we more than likely will have a spot for you.

You're in, Hyper. That a level 50 Tanker by the way?

Just a quick note - I'll be on tonight by 7:45PM to start sending out invites and assembling the team. Thanks to everyone who signed up by posting here or contacting me in-game. This will be fun for me (and hopefully for you too) playing together with so many other Tankers.

Grats on your first 50! I'm impressed that it was a Broad Sword/Dark Armor Scrapper. The endurance woes (especially in the early levels) must of been a PITA. So extra kudos to you. Now it's time to IO/Purple out your toon and get all of those shiny Accolades!

I wish that Spines would get proliferated to Tankers. (I want dual damage auras.)

Two days to go. Plenty of room (4 spots) left if anyone else wants to join. Hopefully, we can get one or two more Tankers. We'll start the radio missions off with Council and Circle of Thorns (easy stuff), and then see how we fare against Arachnos and Carnies.

If you're free Wednesday night, you should come join the fun. It should be pretty good xp for Darck Fyre.

Wow, that definitely sounds like a PITA. What server is your Tanker on? If you happen to be on Freedom, I'll give you a KB Protection IO.
