Speed ITF weekend July 10th,11th,12th.

Hello Victory!

This weekend the Intrepid Warriors will be running three speed Imperious Task/Strike Forces. I will be reserving 4 spots for IW players and opening up the remaining 4 spots for anyone who would like to join us on these runs.

I only ask that you bring slotted level 50 villain/hero who has a good amount of defense or stealthing capabilities. (Yes unfortunately in this day of 5 hour level 50's you have to request that people not bring unslotted characters ).

One last thing, I will be listing slots as: Survivable Melee(this means you should be soft capped at minimum). Debuffer (rad/cold/therm/dark/sonic) any are fine. Buffer (honestly, mostly looking for therms/colds/sonics here). Kin (we like to herd massive groups for damage cap FS).

Just to answer some questions/comments before they are asked:

[ QUOTE ]
Can I bring a lowbie?

[/ QUOTE ]
I'm not trying to be a jerk about the level 50 thing, but there really isn't that much xp on a speed run, and lowbies tend to end up face down for much of the TF/SF which only causes frustration for them and does not help the team.

[ QUOTE ]
Speed runs, thats lame, I enjoy the content, running past everything ruins my immersion.

[/ QUOTE ]

It can be fun to see how fast and hard you can push your characters. Typically, when we have a new person join us on a speed run they have a blast.

[ QUOTE ]
The ITF is so easy, you can run it with any group, you must suck if you are telling us we must bring certain types of characters.

[/ QUOTE ]

I agree that any group should be able to finish the ITF no matter what the make up of the group is, however, when shooting for speed a good balance of strong survivable toons with buffers/debuffers really can make a difference.

I hate you.

Yes I know you do.

Hey Masque, I didn't see this on the IW calendar . Put me down as tentative for today's. I will be getting off of work late tonight but may make it home in time. I'll bring Five Element Enigma or if you like, a rad, dark, or kin

Who do I have to *&^% around here to get more Targeted AoE recipes added?

Arc Name: Tsoo In Love

i'm in with my widow for tonight's run! [unless it's been filled up!]
[47ish defense to all with ML at around 63-64 i think]

---

EB- I'll put it on the calendar, not sure he knows how

I will take one of the IW spots for each. I'll bring whatever we need to make the team awesome.

My Characters (at 50) with full invis: TA def, kin def, kin troller, invuln scrapper, cold def, sonic def (though I think she is not fully slotted, so not her), emp def, emp troller, pain dom corr, dark mm, fire blaster

Or I can always bring my stone tank or SR scrapper for defensive goodness

Edit- posted

Edited

As a side note, we will be shooting for about 45minutes +-10 for these runs as we will have players on the team who may not be used to running this TF/SF with us.

Please remember to buy purples and greens in the O-zone before you zone into to Cim.

Whats that, you don't know Sarrate's Ozone speed tp trick?
Go to the pillar of ice and flames, select the lvl 50 story arcs, the first one on either red/blue side is a Cim story arc, start it and zone to Cim then quit tf.

Masque, re-edit, I said I would take a spot for each day! Please and Thank you.

---

I won't be able to make it, work is taking a bit longer than I thought it would.

Friday's ITF

31:01
12 Deaths

Wow. Good time on that.

However, when Sunstorm nerfs the ITF merits to 10, I'm personally holding you and FMP responsible...

---

Better to reign in hell than serve in heaven.

I will take responsiblity for hess and stf. I will not take responsibility for itf, I am just the pretty accessory.

---

Congrats on the aweseome time on the first run, guys!

It should be noted, however, that this can ONLY be done by a 50 as far as I'm aware (only a 50 toon has the highest-level arcs unlocked I believe).

Witters and Hor signed up for sat and sun.

I might be able to make the Saturday one. I have a stealthy Fire/Kin Controller, Fire/Therm Corruptor and Night Widow.
My Stone Fire tank has good defense.
I have semi-stealthy (stealth proc in hover) Mind/emp controller.

If you have room and a preference let me know.

Don't worry Flux, for every Speed ITF we run there are those running 3 hour ones to make up for it.

---

I'd like the join the one on Saturday. I'll probably be bringing my DB/Nin Stalker.

EDIT: If there's LK room, I can bring in a Fire/Mental Blaster or an Ill/Rad instead.

Ran an impromptu speed itf earlier today:

45 minutes
42 deaths

We were flying until Romulus, I think a Kin would have be extremely helpful in dealing with the Traitor ambushes.

---

We ended up having two teams run this:

Team 1

32:23
4 Deaths


Team 2

39:55
19 deaths


Thanks to everyone who filled in at the last minute and those who switched characters.

I like the symmetry of that. Our time was a palindrome, 4 is next in the sequence of 2 and 3, and I got a respec recipe out of it!
