Reposted from the STF thread:
We ran the entire TF on Invincible.
6 scrappers.
We avoided no fights. (Including fighting up lag hill, but we did pull a bit of the generals off before we charged up it).
~90 minutes until completion.
33 Deaths in all.
After the TF was done we cleared the entire last map, searching all the nooks and crannies for wandering Romans.
In mission 3 we charged the platform and fought both AVs at once.
In mission 4 we charged Romulus after clearing the area. We got close, but it was too much healing to overcome without us succumbing to the autohit Nictus + all the other badness. We split the healer off and took down Rommy, and the autohit Nictus was sacrificed to bring him back. Rommy went down a 2nd time, but had run just before his death, so no rez. We took down the healer and then the summoner without difficulty though.
Great fun was had by all.

What the hell? Let's buff defenders.

Another repost from the previous thread:
Total yay. Here's my first-timer impression of the ITF, scrapper style.
Kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill die resurrect kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill. Look, it's Romulus! Die resurrect die hospital die resurrect KILL. What do you mean mission complete? There are people still vertical! Kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill. Stupid map is clear. 
Some day I should probably read the story so I have some clue what we just did, but I was just there to bust heads, and there were a lot of heads to be busted.
Some pretty amazing scrappers on this one. I had trouble staying vertical even with no taunt aura. Others did it WITH a taunt aura. Thanks for the team, folx. Y'all were awesome.

Yeah, I went with my main, Katana/Regen. I figured Dark Melee/Super Reflexes would be easier, and thus less fun. Besides, we already had one of those on the team. Too bad my reaction time sucked today. One death came with all my clicks still available as I was reaching for Moment of Glory. Oops!
And I was particularly impressed with Celeste Cat's tanking. Kept ending up in the middle of mobs with all the aggro (apparently intentionally) and also kept the healing Nictus busy. I knew Katana/Invulnerability could be good, but damn! Maybe I need to pull my Broad Sword/Invulnerability out of retirement.

[/ QUOTE ] I'm very glad to hear this. Now I'm really excited about finishing my own.
And this TF is a ton of fun with a DM/SR. I haven't done this yet, but I see it entirely possible to get to the final encounter with minimal* problems with that build.
Nicely done guys

Yes was way fun and the carnage we left was sweet the ride to the final missions we tore threw everything on the way to the last mission.
Also that was the fastest I have ever cleared the crystal even on speed runs are slower and we killed the ambushes even it was pure scrapper lock fun

My elec/inv brute and fm/inv scrapper both view the ITF as a (fun filled frenetic) walk in the park - just softcap to S/L and the only things that will trouble you are the dwarves/novas and nicti. Invinc is a great taunt aura, I use it to tank ITF's, boss farms, etc...
That was great! Lvl 53s went down like we had rads on the team. I've been on teams that pretty much called it quits when romi broke los leaving the healing nictus because the team couldn't out dmg the heal. Pure power! I luved it! Even with the lag deaths I got and that time I got hit 3 times in a row by a cyclops when my def was at 70%. That brings up another point. We had more team buffs going with 6 scrappers then I've seen on a few full teams with trollers and defenders. No shivans and no nukes were used. Some of us did have the wedding band going though. We need to do another all scrapper TF.

Out of curiosity, did any purples drop? If so how many and about how much influence was gained per person?
Who do I have to *&^% around here to get more Targeted AoE recipes added?

It was on test so I didn't even bother to look at my inf. I did notice I got two red fortunes. I have have gotten more later but didn't think to look.

Amusingly, a number of us had Mystic Fortune, but we were in such scrapperlock that we never paused once to use it. Or at least I didn't use mine and didn't see anyone use theirs. I thought about it occasionally, but everyone was always fighting, and I didn't want to interrupt.
No purples or really anything at all valuable here. Didn't check influence.

I was playing around with casting it on everybody before we started. When we did start, I had forgotten all about it. Even when we had to regroup at romi. We were just that good!
I still picked up the letter. I forgot to mention it. I was too busy looking for mobs when we were clearing. If you haven't read it yet, go to paragon wiki and read up on the TF.

<QR> Yeah damn copy tool not working. I was made aware of this event 2 hrs beforehand and I couldnt get even 1 of my 4 lvl 50 scrappers I would have considered using. And as I'm typingthis now, I'm loading Test just to see if they got copied at all.....
Nope. Copy tool must still be broken.
Do you guys plan on doing this again sometime? I might like to join you.

We are trying to see if we get enough interest for a STF this Sunday at 7 PM EST.
See this link for the sign-up
I do not know if we will run more ITFs on Test. I would be willing to join Test runs on occasion.

There where 6 of us that made it stupid Copy tool issue prevented some people from making it
It was a great run we set it to Challenge level 5 Invincible in typical scrapper fashion of course
We completed the mission and for good measure cleared every single mob in the last mission
More from me and sure the other 5 that ran it later
