I may be able to jump in on Friday, and while I wouldn't mind doing an ITF, I can understand people wanting to do something different. I'll come along for the ride if I can make it (I have a villain at 19 now, so I could do a lowbie SF if that was decided on as well).

50/50 for Friday. I will know more then. As for what, really up for anything.
Going with another ITF, because I'm boring and uncreative, and can't do LRSF until 45. :P 9:30p start time, as always.
I'll be there with my Iso!

I should be there. 90/10 for a yes. If you don't see me on global, then I couldn't make it. Will bring my 48 WS from ViV since I will not be on next Tuesday and should cover for missing a day.
Both of you.
NO... BETTER ........THAN .......TONTO!
I've already forgotten about most of you
50/50 chance I'll be there. Not sure what I'll bring yet.
Actions speak louder than Vets.

I'll bring Tulkyas- we'll see how he does against all that defense debuff the Romans do. Definitely going to use Shield Charge before going in to the mob, so I can knock at least some of them down.

Im in for the iso (slacker catch up) ITF tonight 3/20/09
I'll come along with the Elc/Elc brute.
It is better to ask forgiveness than permission.
Gosh darnitall. Internet shut me out there for awhile, and you all were done when I came back. Masque told me how you managed to swing it, so I'm glad my internet woes didn't hold you back from finishing. Though I'm mad that I don't get the Roman costumes, merits, or badges, though. 
I'm hoping Tough will round things out for Tulkyas and make him survivable on the ITF at least. I still wish he could get a heal of some sort, but it's clear he needs more resists to be able to tank against AVs and such. After playing up to 47 here, I think Shields is okay all around, but a heal or regen of some sort is really needed, I think. The +HP is great, but there's no way to get that health back quick when you lose it (and I still think Tough is going to be better than Aid Self).
This is reminding me of my I13 idea to give Shields a "Shield Wall" or some such that is similar to Hibernate (the Council's elite troops use a power like this). I dunno, something would be good. Grey Pilgrim has no issues at all with the ITF or other AVs, and he's not too much more IO'd out than Tulkyas- the heal and resists make that much of a difference.

With IOs it's suppose to be a defensive beast. However, due to the scarcity of a lot of those sets on the market, I haven't even bothered to begin them on my Brute.
Actions speak louder than Vets.
Glad we made it through. Close to 49, so I may run a paper or two this weekend to ding and be caught for missing this week.
Won't be on next Friday either, so if you do run an LRSF, good luck and wish I could be there.
I don't know that even getting to the def cap will be enough with the Romans, though. With Tulkyas, I have 41% def to Melee, 42% to ranged, and 46% to AOE already, and I dropped fairly quickly if I strayed away from any of the def buffs others on the team were giving (either from Phalanx, Grant Cover, etc.). Some on the tanker forums have said you need to keep an eye on your def and jump out of their range if you get hit too much, but the two times I died from defense failure, I didn't really have much time to react... it was a bit ridiculous how much I was even getting hit at 41% on my own, let alone when I was at 70-110% when around the rest of the team.
I know what you mean about the def buff sets... I'm working on a Touch of Death set, and it's a long wait for a recipe, not to mention expensive.

I think their spears debuff your defense also

GP, Cimerorans are kryptonite for defensive sets. Every sword attack has -defense (if you knew that just ignore me.)

I eat them up on my Widow.

Yeah, I knew that. I don't mind them debuffing defense, either, I'm not one of those that thinks a tank should be invincible no matter what. I just don't like that it can be so extreme with them, either... seems like Shields needs more resist to the def debuffs (and all my defense and defense debuff powers are slotted up as much as they can, except for Grant Cover, which just has a def/end IO) or something. It seems like every other tank set has a way of handling them, be it resists, heal, regen, what have you. Blech.
Still, they're a fun challenge, and I'll try to be on my toes more and withdraw a bit to let the def debuffs wear off (I was having no trouble with mobs following me that I had been taunting and attacking). Interestingly, the Romans are more trouble than all the Nictus, which is the inverse for Fire/Fire (darn slows... still get hit/affected by them with some defense and resist to them).

The def debuff resist should at least be the same as SR I think.

I'm signing up early for tonight
I don't know if I can tear myself away from the test server....I have a Pie based arc planned out.
It was a slow day at work.

I seriously think I'm flagged. You geek coders can come up with the correct syntax for it. It happens far too often to be a coincedence
