The_Masque

Hmm, thought of another thing. Maybe Sarrate or Elegost can post what GW resists are like and to what damage types. Maybe we are stacking the teams with the damage type she is resisting the most.

There has been a lot of discussions as to if the STF may be bugged again. I think the best way for us to figure this out is to talk about our most recent runs on the STF.

I believe that most people are stating that the AVs and Ghost Widow in particular seem to be alot more difficult to defeat then normal.

Here is what I have seen on my last two runs:

Run 1) Gathered up all 4 AVs, debuffed BS, killed GW, Scir, Mako, then BS. Took longer then people expected there was some discussion as to why they didn't melt with all our debuffs. We had 2 Rad controller, a thermal Controller, and a kin controller. Finished in 1:45 or something.

Run 2) Gathered up all 4 AVs, debuffed BS, killed GW, Scir, Mako, then BS. They dropped fast. We had 2 cold defender, 1 kin controller, 1 rad controller. Finished in 1:15 or something.

Then I heard about this run last night that Hamster had. Where they had a rad controller, a TA defender and a stormy (that dc'd) and GW just would not stop regening/healing to full even with all the debuffs on her. The way it was described to me it was as if her resistance was through the roof. People were doing only -5, -40 pts of damage to her.

I asked on a few global channels on different servers if anyone was seeing any issues with the STF, making sure not to mention AVs or GW. Infinity said no issues, Champion said no issues as did Freedom.

I have heard from a few of the best STF runners on Victory however that they HAVE seen issues.

So this raises a few questions:

1) Is GW bugged? I think its a possibility.
2) Why are all teams not seeing this? It -could- be that debuffs placed directly on GW are not taking affect. However, debuffs placed on a target standing near her are taking affect. It could also be that lately people have been running alot of controller debuffs rather then defender debuffs.

I know its common knowledge but humor me:

Enervating Field:
Controller: -20% damage, -22.5% resist
Defender: -25% damage, -30% resist

So what has everyone else seen?


For the sake of information, please state debuffers on team and their AT, did you group or single target the AVs, what order you killed them in and any odd observations you had. (Recent runs only like lets say with in the last 2 months).


Thanks all!

GL penny and crew, you can do it.


Penny I pm'ed you some tips I use on the 'cuda.

GP, where you at HP cap?

Typically the safest place on a Masters run is actually near the tank not away from the group where an ambush could spawn on you.

Also I prefer to have everyone stick as close as possible to maximize aura buffs both toggle and clicks.

We used to run lgtfs with dual colds (which makes every mission fairly easy)and honestly, even Hami is pretty easy, we typically do not have anyone drop on the mitos as long as everyone stays on target.

I would rate the tfs:

Dr.K < LGTF< STF<ITF

I really disike Mitf because of the 5% chance of the cysts hitting you then a stray traitor or nictus droping you with a lucky hit.

Nah, Mstf is 100times harder then Mdr.k

It was a very smooth run, I think it was 54 minutes.

I'll bow out and let Ham or r0x have the 8th spot. Good luck guys.

I was going to offer up:
2nd cold corr
thermal
mind dom
brute

but looks like you got your bases covered. GL guys.

Ok hit me up in game.

Are you doing this "on" Feb 14th? That could be an issue as far as rounding up help/actors.

As always I'm willing to assist in anyway I can. I'd prefer not to have to RP a character but if you needed some type of thug who comes along and stirs up trouble in the pvp zone, I'm your man.

By the way this

Honestly, I've been where you guys are and had considered hanging it up. Then I 'tried' new things. I tried pvp, I tried min/maxing, I tried all X TF, I made new challenges for myself: ok the ITF is no longer a challenge but trying to beat it in less then 40 minutes is a challenge then when 40 minutes wasn't a challenge lets try to beat it in 30, then 20, you get the point.

I have attempted to find new reasons to stick around:

1 50 of every AT (still missing that darn crab, because I was suppose to be playing with someone)
1 50 of every power type (down to /fire, /ice for blasters, bots, ninja, merc for MM, Crab, ice/axe tank, and Kat for Scrapper)

Honestly, you guys should try pvp the fun stuff not the (as peril called it) try hard stuff.
