The Insanity, the Awesomeness, of an all Scrapper ITF

We run all-scrapper and scrapper/brute ITFs pretty regularly on Freedom, and they're fast becoming the only ITFs I'll join. They really are great fun.
Every theme TF I have been on has been fun, although my all Tanker STF run was my least favorite of the bunch.
I still really want to run an all scrapper Kahn, its the only TF I have ever failed with great players and I have since improved my scrappers build to the point where I could contribute a fair amount more (we were so close to beating the TF, I still feel a lot of guilt about my SOd scrapper's performance).
P.S. Are you the leader of this team?
Why Blasters? Empathy Sucks.
So, you want to be Mental?
What the hell? Let's buff defenders.
Tactics are for those who do not have a big enough hammer. Wisdom is knowing how big your hammer is.

Haha, yes, that would be my Archery/Energy Blaster hovering toward the back and RoAing bad guys. I actually think I recall doing that Manticore TF recently. There were something like four Blasters and two Scrappers on the team, I think. Fun stuff.

I was on one, and it was the only ITF I've ever been on. I'm told we did everything completely wrong, but it was a blast. Pure GOGOGOGOGO for over an hour until we hit Rommy. We TRIED just charging and out DPSing him, but it didn't work, so we FINALLY had to use strategy other than if you can target it, kill it. And when we were done, we split up and cleared the map just for fun. Yes, there were quite a few deaths, and as best I could tell, nobody cared. I know I didn't.

Personally, those are the only kind of tfs that I'll have an interest to do anymore. I did a stf which I was constantly held back, such as fighting gw at the end, where they were afraid gw would heal off my soft capped fire/shield, which even IF I got hit, I was pretty sure to deal more damage than she would be healed by.
Back on topic, I am thinking of doing an all scrapper dr Kahn tf, but I'm not sure if that dimensional grounding Ray is there to counter the last av's unstoppable mode. Although I did do it when it first came out on a pug and know my fire shield is fully capable of tanking him and one of the other av's in the room as they get freed.
Scrappers are about doing whatever the h*ll you want, whenever the h*ll you want.
I'm going to have to try one of these all-scrapper TFs. I love flipping out and attacking everything.
I bet an all-scrapper LGTF would rock! Critters galore!
There was an entire thread on this on the old forms on test we did back to back all scrappers TF's on test
We cleared the ITF 1st and the next week we did the STF even with the repairmen bug and completed it all with no nukes or Shavian

We're forming an all-melee ITF on Freedom right now.
EDIT: It was kind of a slow one, 49 minutes. But we got the job done, no teamwipes, and a fun time was had by all.
Anyone doing this on Pinnacle? I'd love to get in on one. I don't team much, but this sounds like it's right up my alley.

All Scrapper ITF's are funnier if you leave 8 Cysts untouched on 2nd mish and get rid of all them at same time to face a massive ambush
I was on an all scrapper KHTF on Friday just for the heck of it. We actually did amazingly well with no major team wipeage until the 10th Mary. Then it was cake from there. Probably took 30 minutes once we got going. Was insanely fun.
I wish someone would do this on Infinity.
Am I going to have to start making characters on other servers?
Oh boy...

That's was fun times. Even the all scrapper 8 man mothership raid. The thread is on the new forums. I was all geared up for the khan tf but i16 went to closed beta and killed that. For now. But that ITF we did rocked.|

It was the STF we did everything normal teams would not do. Let me see if I remember them all:
1. Destroyed all the cables while still in basement.
2. Was fighting COT and vines at the same time.
3. Took out ice minstrel while we were still being attacked by some of the ambushes.
4. Aggroed dr aeon too early.
5. Battled GW in melee range!
I loved every bit of it! We are not normal teams. We are scrappers!
I'm going to find that thread for when open beta starts to see if we can get that khan TF replaned and/or an ITF replay.

I'm thinking about making at least 1 scrapper on all servers so I can join up with this new fun wave of all scrapper TFs...
50's: Heroes: Ozmeth DB/WP; Black Decker DM/Regen; Shado-Strike DM/SR Scrapper (13 AV soloed); Desert-Shock Claws/Elec Scrapper; Shado-Shriek Dark/Son Def
Villains: Bokken Nin/Nin
Current project(s):
I was thinking the same thing, Ozmeth. I love being on Infinity but all the cool kids are...not...on Infinity...
heh...
After seeing someone else mention doing an all Scrapper ITF, I figured I'd give it a try.
I was on the Guardian server tonight and I was a bit bored so I put one together. I was worried that only inviting Scrappers would make it hard to recruit, but I sent out some broadcasts in various channels and the team filled up in no time.
And it was a blast.
I've honestly never been too crazy about the ITF, but with all Scrappers...it was just nuts. Everyone was pretty much going crazy and killing stuff. That was our agreed upon strategy when we started the TF.
There were some deaths, heh--I'm not going to lie. However, there was only one team wipe (at Rommy) and if someone died, they just rezzed or hit the hospital and kept going. A silly thing like death doesn't slow Scrappers down, apparently.
When we got to Rommy the team wiped. I'm not even sure why. After the first try though we were able to handle him just fine. Did the entire TF in a little over an hour and it only took that long because we killed things needlessly--just for fun.
Who else has done this? How was it for you?
Next up, I'm seriously considering trying to put together an all Scrapper STF--once the repairmen have been fixed. It doesn't seem like it'd be that hard until we got to Recluse and his towers...at that point though, not sure how we'd handle it. Any advice or ideas would be appreciated!
