I've never, ever been able to get that amount of damage by simply playing the game -- even my dom, weighing in at something like 350 hours, only has 11 million. After I farmed her to 10 150 or so hours previously.
So ...
The traditional way to get that type of damage is to hit Rest in front of a mob that cranks out as much damage as you can regen before the next hit comes in. And then let CoH run for a day.
Bonus HP does NOT count towards the badge; only base damage does. I.e., if you're running with a lot of +HP bonuses and powers, the mob has to drop you down to your base HP before the damage even registers towards the badge.
The math behind all this gets complicated since each AT has its own max regen and base HP, so there isn't really a one size fits all kind of mob for everyone. But, on the last toon I got this badge on, I parked myself in front of a yellow, machine gun-wielding Council minion ... and let the PC run for hours 'n' hours.
Edit: a couple other things to keep in mind:
If you're in a mission, you won't get auto-logged.
When you're going for the time spent in PvP zone badges, grab an Ouro mission since you can't be auto-logged while doing a TF.
I use a CoT Guide (let them close to melee, then rest, you'll regen enough between attacks). The level of the Guide depends on my AT - my MM could only handle a level 50, but my Brute and Corruptor (with Warmth on auto) could handle 52's.

Get a war zone arc mission against the Rikti. Crank the diff. Make friends with an Emp or Pain.
Kill everything except a Rikti Chief Soldier Boss with rounded shoulder pads. Rest in front of him while the Emp Pain heals you at range. Youll get about 1.2M/hr. 5 hours of afk farming and poof, yer done.

If you have any powers, IO sets, or accolades that artificially boost your base hit points you may not even get credit for any of those 14 points.
In order for the damage you take to register on the bar you have to chew through all of your artificially boosted hits first. This is part of why the "Rikti Chief" method works so well--bigger spikes means more counts.

Several people posted a while back that this doesn't work any more. Apparently, the boss with the round shoulder pads now cycles two attacks and kills you if you're resting.

If you are a brute, the best method I've found is using 1 Ice Thorn Caster and 1 Guide (both level 52). Rest in front of them for 20 hours. You'll earn about 400k per hour. Make sure to put a Heal SO in your rest ability.
How about for a lvl 50 mastermind with around 990 hp?
I've thought about getting an Ouroboros mission with a CoT red pain crystal and just resting in front of it. I figure i could get some random player to join my team, use recall friend on me once i start resting and just tp me in front of the crystal. Would that work?

Hello, I have a question regarding Damage Taken badge #4 "Unbreakable". This requires 10,000,000 point of damage to your character. This is also required for the Born In Battle accolade power that gives a +5% to max endurance AND max health.
Currently on my toon Kaji Hane on the Freedom server, I have 4,000,000 points (give or take a few thousand) of damage. Does anyone know of a good way to get the reast of the 6,000,000 damage easily to take as little time as possible? I am aware that simply playing the game is a very good way to do that, but nowadays its damn near impossible due to Mission Architect. Seriously though, any help would be appreciated.

How has MA made it more difficult to play missions and take damage?
Why do you need the Accolade now?

I believe that the damage taken in an AE mish does not count towards your damage taken badges. I know that when I was trying to finnish off my 1.2 mil debt badge that I could wipe debt from my toon but it would not be reflected on the badge progress bar if I was using AE mission mobs.
Yeah, best bet is to just find a CoT mission and just rest in front of it, then head to work/ bed etc.

While that is true, missions in the AE only earn credit toward AE Badges... How does that impact your ability to play regular missions in any way? To take damage?
(Which was my original point.)

I can totally confirm this. You'll be dead in two hits.
Demon_Flare, I'm in the same boat and looking for a similarly useful mob. Can't run the compy all night these days, too hot around here. Was going to give the CoT Guide a try when the weather got better.
There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

Two problems; one definite, one maybe. The maybe part is that this is a very low damage item so if you have any +HP powers/accolades, you're hosed. You need to 'cut into' your base HP for it to count toward the badge.
The larger problem is that you can't be recalled while resting. The way around this is to use Break Frees to negate the immoblize effect from resting. I think someone said it takes 10 of them. That will allow you to walk around while 'resting'.
The method I used was a Rularuu brute minion (conning orange, but I was doing this with a scrapper). In melee, they have one big attack with a recharge over 9 seconds. Unless, of course, they've been changed since I did it. I would use a few small purples and rest right in front of him.

[/ QUOTE ] Correct, Rest gives 100 mag Teleport protection... but a well-timed TP can let it go through before the power's 6 second activation time.

[/ QUOTE ] Yes.. Rest is also -100mag Immob. All you have to do is exceed mag100 protection, and you'll be able to move again.
Powers like Integration.. and set bonuses will help you get well over mag10 by themselves, and you'll have to use BFs to take care of the rest. You can even achieve it easily with a stacked CM or equivalent buff.
Yes, 10 small BFs (mag10 each) will add up to exactly 100 mag protection and allow you to move... but keep in mind they only last 30 seconds.
Emerge (medium BFs) are mag15. Only 7 of those would be needed (or 6 with active powers/bonuses), lasting 60 seconds.
Escape (large BFs) are mag20. Only 5 of those would be needed, lasting 90 seconds.
Well the non rikti boss method I used with my brute was using the Behemoth Masters (LT Rank) from the CoT. They pump about 600k/hr. With a Pain/Rad/Thermal healing you, its not tough to put those numbers up easily.
(2 Man on max diff might get a L53 which is 700k/hr and there are no shortage of CoT paper missions in GV.

"I am not sure if my portrayal of being insane is accurate, but damn its fun all the same."
well, I tried using some purples to rest inside a hellion fire in Mercy, but it does too much damage too me too quickly, even with rest slotted with heal enhancments. Since CoT red crystals do less damage than fire, and they're in missions which prevent auto-logs, would they be a safer bet?
The main problem with this is mostly the fact that i cant find any CoT missions with those crystals on it that i can access. The Flashback system in Ouroboros doesnt seem to have any, but I could be wrong.
I had my lvl 50 Bane rest in front of an ice thorn caster last night for about 7 hours. He took about 700 damage each hit which is just less than half his total. The total on the badge counter never moved. Logged out, back in, fought some spiders and took a little damage and he is still stuck at the same total. Has anyone else had this problem? He is a 50 as I said and only has taken 780k damage. I wonder how long the damage has not been adding up.
I so despise this badge.
What the hell kind of sense does it make to give a badge for an accolade that is pretty much a must-have, where you have to get sadomasochistically abused all night to receive.
I am currently running a fire/rad troller with 1 imp out and hot feet on in RV, while my DOM rests and a rad corr (all i have on that account that has heals) sits from afar and uses healing aura. I also got my 5 hour RV badge. :S
There was a mission from black scorpion (something with Mole men in it) that had these huge drills coming up from the ground and fire near them. I used my dark MM to sit in the fire and use his heal (required a target to heal off of, the drills) and that worked pretty well. If I wanted to rest in the fire I had to get my other MM (poison) to heal + the rad corr with healing aura.
*Side note* that MM I played most all of his contacts through and didn't do a single AE mission, no PL'n, 100s of hours play time, and when I hit 50 only had about 2 million pts taken of dmg.
I think it's pretty pathetic you have to get a badge that requires you to take damage in order to get a pretty important accolade. Same thing with the debt badge.
That debt badge is very easy to get in comparison. Or maybe I just suck at the game.
<QR>
Funny you should mention this... my level 24 Brute is currently 7.4m through the badge and getting roughly 245k/hr resting in front of a +3 Juicer/Stunner Freak who simply cycles Charged Brawl over and over (roughly every 4 seconds). She's /SR so resting getting through the interrupt time isn't too hard and there aren't any extra hp to burn through. I'd imagine that a level 50 would be able to do roughly double that, since she's still under 800hp. This is with a Heal SO in Rest, though - without capping regeneration it was too much damage coming in.
And yes, the debt badge is (now) far far easier to get, since you can simply get patrol xp and suicide to rapidly "work off debt"; I've gone from under 50k to the 1.2m badge in under a half hour with a level 41.
