Lady Grey Strike Force Duo'd


Arilou

 

Posted

I'm aware that it's been done a few times in the EU (one by Spawnus, one by myself, which is in the backlogs of the forums somewhere). Just succeeded in doing this again tonight, somewhat impromptu, with a friend of mine.

Screenie

This was completed without the use of temps, all AVs taken down without shivs or nukes etc, and we suffered no deaths.

Xemulas - Ice/Cold Corruptor
Uzzi- Katana/Super Reflex Scrapper

We smoothly completed things i've seen full teams struggle with. This surprisingly, went much better than my previous run paired with an Inv/SS Tank.

I've nothing more to say since last time, just announcing this in the hopes of inspiring any challenge junkies, and ensuring those who are interested, can find out *if* a Corr/Scrapper duo has done it before.

NB: The chatbox comments are mainly fuelled by my amazement that our debuffs and DPS were enough

Big congratz, Xem! No deaths is pretty damn impressive.

Nice! What was the loot like on a two man run?

The SR had what 60% positional defense? Must have been a blast!


Who do I have to *&^% around here to get more Targeted AoE recipes added?

Arc Name: Tsoo In Love
Arc ID: 413575

Someone's gonna point this out eventually:

You had no "# of deaths" challenge set. With no challenge set, it doesn't record number of deaths, and will always report 0, no matter how many there actually were.

Next time, set a death challenge, so nobody can come in and claim you didn't succeed, just because you have no proof.

Grats on a job well done!

Oh, my Cold doesn't have the shields, apart from Frostwork. Never did enjoy trying to balance buffing, debuffing and damage dealing all at once. My Gamer Lobe isn't large enough for that I fear. The Scrapper's Sofcapped without weave, and his regen combined with Frostwork was enough to recover from the occasional big hit.

Loot wise, no idea, keep in mind that the normal mobs scale to your team size when people "quit" this strike force.

Ah, thanks for pointing that out. It wasn't our aim from the offset, so it never occurred to us to set it, it's just how it turned out.

I lift a Guinness to you.


Be well, people of CoH.

I always set a death challenge when I run a TF, because there's no penalty for failing it, and unlike the "No XXX" challenges, it doesn't force a change in play style, and I like seeing the number at the end of the TF.

Then again, I run my TFs by the rules set out by Lt Rasczak in Starship Troopers: "Everybody fights, everybody dies!". Gotta check that everyone's been following the rules.

I 'soloed' this on my fire/em blaster quite a while ago, although I used a good number of temps to do it.


Gratz on your success.

Wow that is awesome! I'd love to do something like this with my shield scrapper.

Nice!

I assume you didn't run into the Honoree's bug when he keeps re-using MoG?

You should really read the original book (Heinlein is awesome).
