I'd probably take my katana/fire, unless the copy dont work
Regretfully... I need to bow out of this one.
I'm actually gonna be going outta town this Sunday and not sure what time I'm gonna be home, I doubt however, it will be in time to join in.
Have fun, I look forward to hearing about how y'all do!!
[edit: BTW for all the people that wanted to do the last one but couldn't because of test not copying, check now... Shado-Strike was copied for me today]

There doesn't seem to be a Shield Defense character in the mix, so I might as well. Though I am equally tempted to try my Fire/Fire and MA/Inv as well. Bah!

I've loaded up my bag of tricks. Just hope we won't need them. This should be interesting. Arachnos, Circle of Thorns, and NPC villians try to take on 8 scrappers.

Copy worked so I'm bringing Death-Mark instead of Gilmarin.
Pity I just moved and don't have internet set up at the new place or I'd be in... would love to see another all-scrapper ITF.
You know something. We should do all of the lvl 50 TFs then repeat some of the most requested ones. This should be a normal thing. All scrapper ___TF sundays!

I'll copy some scrappers to test when I get a chance in hopes we do something along those lines.
I am going to start a STF strategy discussion now, so we can minimize the impact of trying to figure out what to do in play.
Mission 1 is fairly straightforward. Break stuff. Leave the two parts at the top of the ramp until the end. Drop any inspires/buffs, Arbiter Sands should have gotten coffee elsewhere.
Mission 2 is the most straightforward - kill 4 AVs. Shall we fight the few spawns between the AVs? O-portal out, except one person.
Mission 3 - I'd prefer not fighting all the stuff outside but do enjoy fighting our way to the last room once inside. Shall we kill the CoT in the Vine room before or after we take out the vines and AV? Who grabs the temp power?
Mission 4 - It is way too fun to kill all 8 Security Chiefs at once and then rush into the door and fight all the ambushes at once. I recommend that tactic for the giggle-factor. It requires some patience before we fight in order to get everyone in position, so we could just fight each Chief and its ambushes individually if people want.
After that we beat on 4 AVs. Gather for buffs/inspires and charge Aeon.
Mission 5 - I like clearing all the Arachnos, but we can try to leave some if people want (or we can leave some on purpose to fuel auras for the AV fights maybe). Mako, Scorpion, and Scirocco are usually pretty straightforward. That leaves GW. We can try using a bunch of red and af few purple inspires first. If that fails, many of us have temps we can fall back on.
Once that is done, we can clear the Arachnos around the statue (or leave them to try and fuel those auras) and take out the Flyer (I'll keep a timer running to know when it may respawn, although it probably isn't a real issue).
Tanking LR is best left to a scrapper with an auto-hit debuff aura, so Shields and WP scrappers (they interrupt his summoning). If the tank goes down, someone needs to be ready to pick him up and keep him away from those of us ripping the towers down. Since high defense will be our best mitigation, the Blue tower will be our first goal. I recommend following that with the Red then the Yellow and then finally the Green.
When we have trouble with LR, remember that the towers do not spawn repairmen when they are above half health. If we need to pull out, try to make sure all repairmen are dead and leave the tower above half so it does not spawn more repairmen. If we pull out and leave repairmen alive, they will rez previously destroyed towers, so when it all goes to hell, pulling off the tower and suicide runs to kill repairmen are good moves.

Just my 2 cents on the vine room as a scrapper in that room I always split from my group and take out both. I mean 8 scrappers does it matter vines + COT is just as easy
No clue on the temp power
If you need I can tank LR I am shield softcapped and have aidself

Having more than 8 is good, real life often rears its head and causes a few no shows.
If people are interested, I can invite people to our TS server for voice chatty goodness. Lurking is normal if you are mic-less, everyone (especially me) enjoys the sound of my voice, just ask me. I'll tell you.

I say we kill cot first. It would be annoying to take out a few vines and then stop to take out some death mage that was in your way only have the vines grow back. Who ever ends up being the point scrapper should take the power. Dont know that is yet but just like the ITF last sunday, it will become obvious.

I like the way you think. Everytime I've done this TF is been a master attempt or for speed. This time is gonna be for the pure entertainment.

There is no stopping killing vines to take out a Death Mage. 
You kill the vines and ignore the pansy Death Mage and his cronies until the greater goal is achieved (at which time you then expunge him, after giving him a meaningful stare).
Part of the challenge of leaving the CoT is seeing if you can survive and also struggling with the targeting. I have no problem killing the CoT and then the vines, though; that is how it is normally handled and is fun as well.

We ran a STF yesterday to try a few things on the repairmen and two things that worked well against them were Oppressive Gloom and Burn. Oppressive Gloom was from the Defender Epic pool, but should be functionally identical to the Dark Armor version in this situation. Burn required a bit more positioning/timing, but someone with better slotted burn than I have will be more consistently effective against the repairmen than I was.

If the repairmen become an issue, I have no objection to nuking the towers. One nuke per tower should be enough to weaken it to out damage the repairmen's heal.

In the light of the fact that the repairmen are getting their heal off more regularly I want to note that running this TF could take some time. The previous scrapper STF I ran took 3 hours to complete and we had a Spines and a DA scrapper to stand at the repairmen spawn point with their auras, and that was when the repairmen were less capable. (although some of our builds may not have been as suited to the task, mine certainly wasn't).
I hope everyone is willing to at least try for 4 hours. Things may look grim at times, but a little regrouping and patience can usually carry a team through.
