Now this is a moot point when on a team of 6-8 is fight spawns on INV and the person taking the missions is +5 levels higher then the next level. Unless that toon can solo that mish Make up will not matter. No matter how good a player you are you are going to get squished everytime a small mistake happens.

8 frads can do it. not worth the xp/min, but they can do it quite safely. back then we didn't do it that much because of how much time it took (ie, those 20 extra secs per spawn add up quickly).. in fact, i remember going against lvl 20's when i was lvl 15. we pwn'd.

A 9 year old can run a team that is an "optimized" team, we let my friends 9 year old do it too. (was an all SG been playing with each other for 6 months.) But he was calling the shots. Did what he wanted, pull or rush ect.

"pull"
"rush" are not advanced tactics at all.

advanced tactics is me having a tell convo with the defender so i can put disruption on him, have him run in and nuke without taking an alpha because the mobs would look at me.

advanced tactics is "hey corrs, team tp, ready it up", nd the kins queue up FS automatically, while the others hover over the nuke button waiting for the port to end so the spawn can be cleared in 2 seconds).

advanced tactics is putting disruption on a cloaked ill/ troller and having him agro the 5 mobs towards you while you hide and wait with the rest of the team (makes a herding tanker feeling like crap).

[ack! i hate the disruption nerf!!!]

...can a 9 year old pull that? haha no way.
that's how you really run a team.

sadly there are two many morons in this game for most of that to be applicable to a pug.

You talk about so many moron's in this game, by being sarcastic and spitful you do not help that "situation". If you can want to be more helpful bring up some good advance techniques people will listen this is a guide post.

I never said it could not be done, I said it would be difficult to fight that mish. and no matter how good the players are it will be difficult.

Your math is wrong lvl 15 fighting lvl 20 would be 2-3 levels above you on Inviicible. 5 lvls on invicible would be LVL 22-23's. throwing in boss's. you are still looking at player deaths.

I.E PLing LVL 50 has a team of LVL 45's they are fighting LVL 52-53. deaths will happen.

Your techniques sounds fun and I would like to try it but wouldn't it be easier for your 8 rads to steamroll over each group in the time it would take to herd all those groups.

But then that goes to what does the map look like, and what is your team make up.

(Dispertion Cap, Agro Cap)

Well if we needed the 9 year old to do your Ill/rad disburtion bubble we would of taught him that.

I never claimed that the 9 year old was using advance techniques. Like I was saying with a team of good players you don't need advance tactics.

We did that to teach the 9 year old how to run a team so when we were not around he wouldn't be so lost. (you know help out the SG thing)

We are not far off on our views about team make up is only a small part of being a leader.

I know some of the techniques i like is the tanker taunt hold on an AV. two tankers compete for taunt over the AV and are on opposite sides of the AV. If all goes well the AV AI will not attack because it will constantly switch it's target between the two tanks.

TP Scrapper/tank into Mez'd group. let them avoid the initial agro they get while the approach the group.

some times the best technique is a simple technique, not need to over complicate things on a PUG.

Why make things harder then they are.

There are shorter shortcuts commands:

/search -- brings up the search window/find window (anyone a team can use the /search command to find other teammates.

/i playername -- invites someone to a team
