What was the team makeup?
Were you hitting or missing him?
Did you bring yellow inspirations to deal with his Elude?

Apparently he stole Captain Recluse's powers and became uber.
Storm Summoning is great because it makes you better than everyone else in the game. - Camma
Knockback is mitigation. It won't be removed just because meleers ***** and moan. - Chaos Creator
Mako has no resistances except his normal AV ones, and only has between 25% and 30% Defense (depending on if he's hidden or not) outside of Elude. His Elude boosts that by another 40%, but only lasts 30 seconds (though, recharges in 75 seconds).
You guys should have headed to WW and bought some yellows and he probably would have been really easy.
I have been on many STFs before and I have never seen him behave anything even close to how he was this morning.
i wonder if the names Lord Mako and Cap'n Recluse are already taken on my servers of choice?

pfffffffft watch out for Lord Ghost Cap'n Black Scirocco
Was on a STF last night. We steamrolled everything until Lord Mako showed up in the middle of our fight with Black Scorpion.
Fair enough, we get BS down and then turn our attention to Mako. There's only one problem: Mako is literally unkillable.
We pounded on Mako for about 30 minutes. I am not joking, I was watching the clock because it was 4:30 am and I was all but exhausted.
We got him down to half-health, below which we were completely unable to budge him. Kept him there for about 10 minutes, then he began to gain hit-points until he was almost at full health again - despite the fact that we were hitting him with everything we had, and this was a good team btw. When he was almost at full health again, at this point the team dissolved in exhausted disgust. The leader said that she and her friend who was also on our team had run the TF earlier in the day and it took a full team ONE HOUR to kill Mako.
I have been on many giant monster teams and I have never ever seen a GM take 30+ minutes to kill. I have been on teams fighting Eochai and Jack In Irons AT THE SAME TIME and never had to pound on them for 30+ minutes.
If it does not take an hour to kill - for instance - Lusca, I am at a loss to understand why Mako is now completely unkillable, because you would think that a giant monster would be a heck of a lot tougher to take down. We had pets out. We were using temp powers. If we had it, we used it.
Nada.
Is Mako considered an "exploit" and so he was buffed accordingly? The other AVs seemed as usual.
I have run the STF many times and I have never once seen this happen before. All of the AVs are of course tough to take down, but this my friends and foes, is completely and utterly ridiculous.
