Murph's Tricks and Guide to the COV Respec Trial!
Heh. Way too late, but thanks for the link.
I had the easiest time ever with the respec using tp foes for the vines.
Here's what we did:
A team of 4, stalker, MM, corrupter, dominator. We mowed through the initial missions without too many problems. At the final Thorn tree mission we had everyone log out for 5 minutes, except for a stalker who logged for 3 minutes and made his way to the end. Anyone with invisibility could do it if you cant find a stalker. That way the mission spawned critters for a team of one. The rest of us logged in and easily fought our way to the final room.
We eliminated the CoT by winding our way around the room counter clockwise. Then we hid behind the AV "trunk" and used tp foe to make two sets of 12 vines. Everytime a new vine was ported in I used siren's song to put them to sleep. Once we had all the vines in place, we quickly eliminated them all.
The AV was now open for business. Sent in minions for the aggro, cast debuffs, and everyone opened up with everything they had.
Result - No deaths in the last mission and a total time of 30 - 45 minutes, with much of that being consumed by setting up the vine patches. Once all vines were in place, it took less then 5 minutes to clear 24 vines and the AV.
TP Foe for the win!
