New SF, Not So Bad.

JFA and Chrome Support has had a lot of chatter about how hard Barracuda's SF is, but it's not.

Some things to help you guys:

1) Take at least two MMs if you can... just in case.

2) Don't worry so much about the ambushes if your team has a kin, let them gather about for FS bait.

(Note: Not saying take a kin, in fact take whatever. Just keep in mind your supports strengths.)

3) Prep as you would for a LRSF. I know for 20 merits it's not cool to have to get Shivan's and / or nukes (depending on how you like to run LRSF), but take what you take to a LRSF. (If nothing then Great!)

So, less talk about the impossible and more about how Justice rocks?

(I wrote this while half asleep..)

There is no creative impulse without discontent.

Last night we ran the BSF in hour+half
no MM's
but we popped 6 shivans + 2 vanguard heavys +3 warberg nukes in the last room. R-man melted in about 5 min.

Looking forward to trying it. It seems obvious that some of the buzz is the same chatter that we heard the first week of ITF. And LGTF. And STF. And RSF.

I was on an 8 person team last night that did ok. We wiped once, but that is probably mostly due to the fact that none of us had done it before. On return, we fought back through the ambushes, got Rman cornered and pounded him into paste. We had a fairly mixed group... 2 MMs, 3 Corrs, 1 Brute, 1 Dom... hmmm, don't remember our 8th... another Dom maybe... but we did not have a Stalker.

However, there still seems to be a bit of a disparity between the blue and red side here. The blue side TF was run in a similar fashion, with people who hadn't done it before, and we never had a problem. I also think the red side SF should be worth more than 20 Merits. I guess it's still true... the devs hate villains.
