Just before we kick off todays event.. i'd like to re-post the strategy.. Hami raid channel invite requests plz to @Graviton-x
Hamidon Raid Strategy: Villain-side Adaptations
Teams and Team Instructions
Mastermind Pet Stream
6 Masterminds and 2 Kinetics (no EOE's required)
The team should set up behind a rock pillar near the north outcrop area, and as close to Hamidon as possible. Nobody on the team should be exposed to direct line of sight to Hamidon or the mitos, as they will have agro transferred to them and be within range of the Hami/mito blasts, drawing them to the team (also don't recall any pets back to the rock for the same reason).
When the signal is given for the pet stream to start, Masterminds will summon their pets, starting with minions, and send them in to attack Hamidon. They should try to keep up a constant stream of pets heading into the goo. To do this, they should alternate and stagger their summons among them, taking turns but keeping the stream constant. After a minute or so, the stream should be spread enough that there are always pets heading into the goo. With the help of the kinetics Speed Boosting, minions should recharge in roughly 20 secs, lieutenants in 40 secs, and bosses in 60 secs. No upgrade buffs need be applied; the purpose is to distract Hami and whatever else they can before they die.
Brute Agro Squad
2 teams of: 3-5 brutes and 3 support heal/rez/buffers (brutes will need EOE's: 2+ each x 4 blooms, 48 minimum raid total)
Each team will be in charge of controlling the agro from 3 yellow mitos. The teams should set up on opposite sides of Hamidon (the east main staging area, and opposite on the west side of hami). Communication between the brute team leaders, and among their own brutes, is essential! Each brute must know precisely which mito they are responsible for. Recommend that the team leaders decide which 2 mitos are their 'center' ones, and assign brutes to center, right and left from that. If setting up at the east and west rock outcroppings it is quite easy to locate these two 'center' mitos, as they are the ones directly in front of the area. Each mito should also assigned a buffer to look after the health and status resist buffs of the brutes attacking it. Extra brutes should be assigned around to the mitos to help kill them. Two brutes on a yellow should have no problem SMASHing it down. Note: Brutes with any form of flight are highly preferred.
On their start signal, the brutes will eat an EOE and rush to their assigned yellow mitos and engage them. The supporters will follow the brutes at a distance, keeping them healed and spammed with stacked mez resist. The support AT's need to remain outside of the aoe splash effect of the mito attack, but within range of their powers. Brutes can assist with this by keeping to the outside edge of the goo and remaining as stationary as possible while attacking. When a yellow mito is killed, move to the next nearest one and help to kill it as well.
Assault Teams
Everyone else at the raid in balanced teams of damage and support (no EOE's required)
Special attention should be given to having enough Dominators, as the first targets are the green mitos which must be held to kill (mag 100!). Flight and Group Flight for the teams is a bonus. Dark Miasma AT's are also desired for Fear resists. Stalkers should avoid trying to AS and use their biggest normal attacks with crits instead. Masterminds in the assault teams should refrain from summoning pets at this time, as they can interfere with the pet streams trying to hold Hami agro.
The assault teams all follow a single raid targeter, who will engage the green mitos first. Green mitos have a force field which must first be dropped by applying holds to it. Dominators should use Domination as soon as it's available! Everyone else with a hold should be using it. Once held and the green's field is dropped, damage will quickly kill it, and the targeter will move on to the next green. When all greens are down, clear the blues. Spam healing aoe's, and keep any aoe buffs on (Shadow Fall, bubbles, etc).
Strategy
It is highly recommended that the raid leader conduct the raid from a 'spotter' location above Hamidon. Looking down like this on the action really helps to get an idea how the raid is progressing and when to issue instructions.
The raid leader will announce the start of the mito phase by telling the MM Pet team to begin sending their pets at Hamidon (staggered as described above). The raid leader will watch as this takes shape, and once stable (ie there is a constant presence of pets inside the goo) will announce the start of the buffing cycle and attack phases in Request channel:
Quote:
MASTERMIND PETS ARE STABLE!
MITO ATTACK BEGINNING IN 1 MINUTEĀ
BEGIN BUFFING YOUR TEAMS (STACK MEZ RESISTS, ETC)!
.
30 SECONDS...BRUTE SQUADS GET READY!
.
20 SECONDS...BRUTE SQUADS ENGAGE YELLOW MITOS NOW!!!
.
10 SECONDS...ASSAULT TEAMS READY!
.
0...ASSAULT TEAMS FOLLOW THE TARGET IN...GO!!!
It is very important to make sure at each phase that the proper dynamic is working. MM pet stream must be stable before sending in brutes. Brutes must be stable and holding the yellow mitos' attention while remaining alive before sending in the assault teams. If the pets are all dead, or if the brutes have lost a single yellow mito agro, don't proceed with the next phase. Abort and reset...it'll save you time in the long run.
With the MM pets keeping Hamidon agro and loose mitos on them, brutes keeping the attention of the yellow mitos and SMASHing them down, and the assault teams killing off the healing greens, the mitos should be overwhelmed in just a few minutes. Once the mitos are all down, everyone will turn their attention to Hamidon.
At this point, the raiders should move to Hami to kill it. Keep to the opposite side of the group of MM pets to avoid splash damage. A taunt squad of brutes can also move to the side to help draw off Hami blasts away from the rest of the attackers.
When Hami nears the mito bloom percentages (75%, 50%, 25% once each), a recaller from each team (preferably with rez) should return to the east staging area and be ready to pull their team out to rez and regroup. Get everyone back up and into position for the next mito run.
Issues Remaining
The key to successfully pulling this off is a well-run set of Brute teams. They must know their jobs, and their support must keep them going, to allow the rest of the raid to succeed. Brutes are taking the brunt of the assault, and the success of the raid is anchored on them. Unlike the hero-side though, there are not two types of teams that need strict coordination (tankers and scrappers). The Mastermind pet stream is relatively cheap and easy to maintain compared to the tank team. But lack of empathy buffs available on villains means brutes are in a more tenuous position. Better and faster recovery between blooms is another area that needs attention. Even hero-side, regrouping and recovery is a big time-sink to the raid.

Im on Big Boned, brute atm. Havnt put me in any team but I got doms I can use instead if thats better.
Unlucky guys, was a valient attempt
Unlucky chaps, whens the next date then?
Just wanted to say a big thankyou to the majority who turned up to the raid, good effort all round.
Was a few issues that perhaps added to our failure, such as some peeps ( im mentioning no names but most know who i mean) going their own sweet way and ignoring the team i had formulated. Another may be that not everyone was sticking to stategy as a few random peeps turned up that werent origionally assigned to teams therefore probably had no EoE insps watsoever. Others left after they died once and some didnt show up at all that were supposed to so very stressful lol. I will be the first to admit arranging (or trying my best to) 50 peeps is very difficult, I thank everyone who tried to make mine and gravs life easier by following the plan. It was a good effort and im sure it can be done , just more personal preparation with EoE insp next time and for peeps who are not involved from the start to stay outta zone 
Other than that we did good, Thank u everyone again for coming and sorry if u saw it as a waste of time and got ya debt capped :P hehe
just to add i was getting serious lag at times so if there is gonna be a next time for peeps to have either a plain cossie and/or no aura for ease, just an idea
Aye i would also like to thanks all who made.. it was indeed a valiant attempt and one we can learn from for a possible future attempt/s
Myslef and Agent did enjoy trying to organise... if it was a terribly stressfull event for us lol
thanks peeps and sorry we didn't take him down this time
I blame myself for not showing up, omg I suck at knowing what day it is, but I've been feeling pretty sick recently. Sorry guys :<

Agent.. i see it not as wasted. was my first attempt on Hammy on vill side. And even if i signed up late i got room (cause some people did not show up)
I give thumbs up to the organizers.. and since i hid behind a rock and sent off my minions I did not see much.
Weird though that many did not know their roles. Oh well goes to show, many people cannot read.

u were cool lady, gj u did come I was more refering to others who werent adhering to strategy, peeps on atacking teams with no EoE's and randoms who were bringing ' undesired' toons that had no place per strategy, (i.e stalkers and veats) oh and the fact i was having a disagreement with on member all the way through didnt help either 
but overall it was a good atempt and alot can be learned from that for the next time we try
