BIO-NUKES as a solution to survival buffs

Just to make a note in the guide thread:

We've found that launching a bio-nuke (Warburg temp power) on the assembled raid, just prior to sending the brute squads, really enhances the survivability and effectiveness of the raiders. While I don't like leaning on crutches like this, it is a suitable solution to the lack of survival buffs villain-side. One nuke per assault/bloom (ideally four total) should be all that's needed.

Heh heh, that was me who launched the bio missile right before the last bloom rush (I figured that was the time to do it if we were running out of EoEs).

As a Dark/Regen Scrapper with a stealth IO and fly, I can gather all three missiles in 45 minutes. I only have to defeat the spawns guarding scientists or panels, I just run by and regenerate damage taken from other spawns. And if I go when the zone is empty, not only do I not have to deal with gankers, but the spawns are mostly minions and only an occasional lieutenant. (It takes *a lot* longer to pick up the missiles with my squishier toons.)

So, for me, the bio-missile is just a 15 minute investment. If other scrappers or tanks want to pick them up so there's a bio-missile for each bloom, that would be cool, too. BTW... do they stack?

Also, pre-meditated Vengeance couldn't hurt, either.

Actually we've only been using them regularly villain-side, since the regen auras function so well hero-side.

And yes 15 minutes is about right for obtaining a nuke in Warburg. Just go at odd times when it's likely to be empty.

I did not see it mentioned nor brought up at the villain side Hamidon Raid, but Cold Domination's Heat Loss power would go a long way toward helping fight the end drain from the blue mitos. The Corruptors could target the oil slick in the same fashion that the dark miasma and the kinetics do. Would give a great 90 second boost to endurance and recovery.

Just a thought. My Cold Corruptor still has a long way to go to 45 but food for thought.

Adding to the Bio-Nuke info:

Number of targets on the nuke temp power is capped at 20. Therefore to ensure that the brutes are all receiving priority on the nuke, we have the rest of the raid (ie everyone who is not taking direct damage from a yellow mito) move off to the right of the assembling area (there's a small ridge on the east saferock there that the rest of the raid moves up on to).

This has worked out tremendously well.
