I thought that ITF was with you MG. I thought we did real well until Rommy. I would definitely do that again, or an all blaster ITF. NOTW could use some debt.

You absolutely will not kill him with the green tower up. It gives him 50% more MaxHP (more, but it's capped), a periodic 5,xxx heal, and 2000% regen. That's 0 to full in 12 seconds (not counting the heal)...

The other towers you may be able to get around, but I suspect the Orange (Yellow, whatever) and Red Towers would be very problematic. Orange caps Recluse's def, so unless your group is packing enormous +tohit, you won't be able to hit him reliably. (I have to double check the +tohit buff cap in game.) Red you can kill him through, but he will be at 100% s/l/e res, rending those damage types and damage debuffs ineffective.

You may be able to get around those to a certain degree with a cager(s), but I'm pretty sure he'd still get a 15s tick every time you recage them. (You can't reapply a cage until it drops, right?)


(Don't forget to have the group rocking at 75% def at all times to compensate for the Blue Tower!)

We took down all the towers while our Dark Defender tanked him with a lot of buffs. I was the Empath on the team, so the whole ordeal more or less left me with an ulcer, but we did it!
