Yeah, it was an unpleasant surprise for me... I hadn't run an STF since issue 15 hit and I guess I just assumed that this bug had been squashed somewhere along the line.|

I've heard people handling it with several blasters keeping rain of fire or similar active over the tower as well; and if you've truly massive damage you can probably simply overpower the heals... we were only adequate damage wise for the TF leading up to that point.

We just got off of an STF that we were unable to complete because of this; it seems unless you have a power to knockback the repairmen the instant they spawn you'll have a lot of trouble with the towers. We had a decent team with pretty good damage and were completely unable to get a tower below 50% HP; it would drop to 50%, repairmen would insta-heal it to 70%, rinse and repeat. I've heard of a few people managing it, and everyone I know of had either Bonfire to knock the repairmen away before they fully materialize or some other location based AOE. Oh, and for any tankers out there, Invincibility is no longer interrupting Lord Recluse's bane summon... a toggle debuff is mandatory now. Further, LR is using his massive end drain attack in melee occasionally as well. |

But you either had location based KB or AOE damage to kill the repairmen instantly or you had massive damage to overpower their heals I'd bet? I'll fully admit the team I had wasn't optimal for damage but it was getting the job done up to that point; then there simply wasn't enough damage to overpower the repairmen's heal or location AOE to kill them before they became targetable.|

I've no question that it can be done with either massive damage or AOE's to KB or kill the repairmen the instant they spawn. The problem lies with more typical PuG teams that may lack those advantages.

Tell ya what Awesome, I'd be happy to bring my FF/Sonic defender on an STF if you want to run it sometime in the near future. Tonight I'm doing a Synapse at 10pm central, and I can't do any days (weekends included.) Usually I can do a TF after 9pm Central time. I need one on her anyway, been trying for months to get her onto one as it stands.
