While I couldn't possibly be sure what the case was here, I'll just bring up the fact that health gained from +MaxHP buffs that is lost by taking damage does not count towards damage taken badges.

That's correct. You are generally better off finding something that does higher damage attacks but with a longer recharge. If you can survive it, a Rikti Chief Soldier is a good way to go. The ones with the round shoulders only use their sword attack once every 9 seconds or so.

Damn. Well, thanks for the tips 
Now to find a non-timed mission with Rikti in it...

Shows a couple meanings. I'm not sure one is more right than the other.

I think you missed the thread you were aiming for
"Well, they found my diary today.
They were appropriately appalled
at the discovery of the eight victims
They're now putting it all together.
Women wrapped in silk
with one leg missing
Eight legs, one body, silk,
spider, brilliant!"
Update: I've tried doing this with a Rikti boss, but unfortunately I couldn't regenerate fast enough so I decided to try it with the Rikti boss as a lieutenant (Villainous difficulty). After another six hours of farming this, the bar has YET again barely moved and I'm starting to feel I'm doing something terribly wrong :P
Odd. Were you running Herostats? If so, what damage per hour was it showing?

Nope... haven't installed HeroStats yet on this new PC, will do so today and give it another go tonight.
It took me days and days maybe 6 days of 12 hour overnight stints to get that on my WP brute, most depressing badge iv ever got, i tried 2 guides, 1 guide 1 overlord, 3 ice casters, nothing seemed very good.
WP's High Pain Tolerance is interfering with it, as the damage is worked out from the base, not the buffed version. Depending on what you've got slotted, I can only think of 3 options (without respec'ing twice to get it faster).
1. If HPT isn't using sets, stick TO's in for a while, and try the 2/3 guides. The IO's/SO's in it are likely pushing it high enough they can't fight thru it to affect the badge.
2. Max out the regen on the WP things. Turn on Rise to the Challenge, and herd up a crowd you can "survive". Taunting, too, possibly. I tried with my tank in the early 30's with the aggro cap for redcaps, and she was fine to just stand there and regen fast enough. More mobs = more regen.
3. Get a friendly stormie/thermal/whatever to stand at the side, with heal on auto. Storm's mist thing+SS/stealthIO will keep them safe. You taunt the rikti thingy (or tougher stuff), whilst they work on the healing badges, too.
Yesterday I decided to start farming damage on my 50 Stone Melee/Willpower Brute, for the Unbreakable badge, needed to get the Born in Battle accolade. I entered a Circle of Thorns mission on Relentless/Invincible, gathered two Guides together, went into Rest (with all other toggles off) and let them attack me. When I came back this morning I expected the bar to have moved at least a tiny bit, but it appears like it hasn't even moved a millimeter, whereas this badge was extremely fast and easy to get on my Energy Melee/Electric Armour Brute.
Is the badge bar just slow to update? Am I doing something wrong? Or am I just plain stupid? o_O
