Regular Ice & Storm Theme Team

Since most of us missed out last week, I'll be hoping for an invasion at some point tonight.

Aside from that, we found the ToT xp really good last week so I'd be happy to do some of that again, and then move back to other missions if we get bored.

See you at 7pm!

The invasion schedule's evened out a lot, now that the random timers have been fixed.

There will almost certainly be several invasions tonight.

There was no TF last night due to a lack of bodies.

Oh, and I may end up tanking tonight, as Abyssal's off on holiday for the week.

worked up phanty to 47 so he should be ok in 2 weeks, just need to get on another respec trial so i can change epic again since consume is meh and fireball wont bring me that much joy without AoE containment. Ice Ice Baby or Primal

Primal's good for Controlling. It's not going to give you any AoE damage output though. And the Shield can make you look a little like a disco ball. However, I've got Primal on my Fire/FF controller, and it's a lovely, lovely combination with a Power Boosted Flashfire giving me and the imps more than enough time to deal with a spawn, or if I really need it, PB, Cinders, Char gives some serious duration lockdown on a spawn and the boss, assuming you targetted the Boss for the Char.

Ice Gives you the oh so useful Hibernate, and more defence to stack with all the rest of the +def floating around the team. Again though, its AoE is somewhat lacking, IMO.

Regarding AoE Containment/Fireball, Flash will get you AoE on Minions and Lieuts, Thunderclap will get you containment on Minions.

If I hadn't gone Psi on Aerial for thematic reasons, I'd have gone Earth for Fissure/Thunderclap with a +def armour and self heal. I think a Fissure/Thunderclap combo should stun Bosses assuming both hit.

Anyway, enough wittering.

Sunday evenings TF, if we can get enough bodies, after last weeks failed so miserably, will hopefully be Imperious.

The location's already been determined.

I don't know, these part time players, don't even bother to check the MOTD :P

My team's fixed (at least to start with) from last night, as we ran into the brick wall that is Romulus...

I've had an idea or two since last night, though. So we may have a chance.

However, Rom's going to be a complete sod for any CF team, as there are some very nasty autohit attacks in there, as we found last night, so capped defence is no help at all.

Did it with a cold defender and a ff. Capped defence and benumb on healing nictus made romulus go down pretty fast.

Capped defence means nothing to the Miring Essence. It's autohit for 670ish damage, and it was the Mire essence that was causing us most grief.

Cunning plans were tried and failed repeatedly. The non-cunning Pet Zerg failed.

We tried Snow Storm on all essences to keep them at ground level while we dragged Romulus up higher. No luck. The Essences ignored the -fly.

In the end we had enough brick wall/head interfacing and gave up and went to do some thing less frustrating. We went and did Maria Jenkins AV missions until we were less irritated.

Infernal was the unlucky first target. He never stood a chance.

Anyway. This Sunday will be a repeat of the ITF, with a few changes.

I'll be tanking on Tufa, and a couple of others will be bringing alts.

We'll have one or two spare places, depending on if Echo turns up or not.

Of course the most annoying bit is that the TF up until Romulus was a complete cake walk. Ah well, live and learn.

This Sunday will be one of 2 ITF's, in order to get all of this weeks team the badge/cossie pieces. This week I'm tanking on a non Cold Front toon, and support will be from another couple of people on non-CF alts. The week after the people who alted previously will be on CF toons, and the others will be alting as appropriate.

I'll try to remember Canine.

And it may not be cunning, but I think the Pet Zerg is always a thing of beauty.

Just wanted to add that next Monday night, my team (at least) will be going for the respec trial. There should be space if you're interested. (Whether we do the 34-43 version of the 44-50 version depends on the numbers and levels involved.)

I'll bring my blaster on sunday if i'm available.

And this time around, it was relatively straightforward.

Straightforward enough that a certain idiot pet you get in the mission survived until the end... o_O

Next week it's Aerial, Abyssal and Tolledo's turn for the badge.

As a side effect, Aerial lost her lead in Cold Front, and it looks like Charged Icicle gets to be the first 50 in Cold Front, closely followed by Piranha Coldshot.

Anyway, tomorrow evening, Meeting point is the Valorous badge marker in IP. And you're getting no other hints from me on exactly where that is :P

We had the first Cold Front 50's last night.

Charged Icicle was first, and Frozen Phenom about 30-40 mins later.

Congrats, both.

This Sunday is ITF number 3. Getting the badges for those who had alted out last Sunday. We'll sort out alts and so forth later.

GZ Charged Icicle and Frozen Phenom, nice going. Always thought Aerial would be the first

Aerial's been slacking off

Big gratz to Charged Icicle and Frozen Phenom!!

I have three cold forms of Pious to offer, Ice Armour 50, Storm Summoning 50 and Ice Melee 42. Now I'm on the global, I'll keep a look out for Cold Front teams. Yesterday's respec trial was very easy but also enjoyable.

Oi!

You know fine well that I *would* have been first to 50, except that I was tanking the ITF on Sunday evening with Tufa.

If I'd had Aerial along and made some other poor sod do the tanking on Rom, then I'd have gotten there first :P

Not that I was aware it was a race. And if it was a race, then team Aerial beat Team Belle so ner :P

(as I said on Sunday, 50 loses a little shine the 5th time around, and nowadays it's just something that happens eventually.)

Cold Front teams tend to run pretty much exclusively only on Monday evenings with a small core of idiots who join Lifeline and Myself on our regular Sunday evening TF's.

This coming Sunday, the TF is Imperious again, getting Aerial, Abyssal and Tolledo the badge, since we alted to other support toons last Sunday, <strikes noble pose> sacrificing xp and possible shiny things to help our fellow CF's, and waht gratitude do we get? None <sniff>...

I'm not going to be able to make it tonight... I've spent the day alternating between being asleep and throwing up.. Hope everything goes ok, and I should be around tomorrow..

Don't push it. If you're still ill, then stay in bed

So far it's me, Piranha and Tolledo. Abyssal's been delayed by real life and Icicle's already said they won't be here this week. And it looks like <shock, horror!> Echo's forgotten.

So looks like no TF tonight. May just take the soldiers out and get them into range for the next Villain SF.

Mind you, come hell or high water, the next Sunday TF/SF WILL be Aerial, Abyssal and Tolledo going through the ITF :P
