6-Kheldian ITF

Last night we had a successful 6-Kheldian ITF that took 2:48 hours (no tricks like double-spawning Rommie, just plain old hover-sniping). Just thought I'd share.

We had a few deaths, some near-wipes, but all in all, it was fun. Next time though, I'd rather have more Warshades with us. 5 Peacebringers and 1 Warshade means the Warshade probably had to work the hardest!


I believe that a Kheldian Gold Standard should be based on SO's, and for anything above that... there's Platinum!

Congrats...


I been thinking of doing a full 8 seafood ITF. Have done a Hess run which was rather enjoyable

So I'm curious. How do you do it?

Is this a pre-determined thing? I mean, I know about your All Kheldian SG, so do you only grab khelds that you know, or is it a global broadcast, anyone accepted kind of thing?

Do you make the team up of specifically built PBs and WSs? For instance, is one PB specifically built as a support role, with leadership and medicine pools? Is someone "designated dwarf/tank" and another one or two "designated nova/DPS"? Or do the khelds on your team just build the way they like and show up?


Where to now?

We've done it a couple of times (or more, I forget) and it's awesome fun seeing Rommie claim to be NICTUS and get his butt kicked every time

Is that the new TF with the 5th Column in it? If so, I haven't done it yet, heard it was still bugged... any confirmation on that?

Essentially, it's a mixture of things. We (try to) meet every Thursday night 8pm EST and see how many Kheldians we have to work with. If we've got 8 members, we'll run with that group. If not, we'll supplement with whatever Kheldian we find and wants to join. The only rule for the Umbra Illuminati on Thursday SG nights, is that whatever we do, we do it as an All Kheldian Team.

Essentially we don't enforce any "though shalt build like THIS" rules. That said, my TriFormPB is built to survive and tank (despite not having Lightform), so I usually tank stuff and strategically pull things away from the others even in Nova form, while whoever has Glowing Touch/Heal Other heals me whenever they can.

I do have a TriFormShade™ in training in the Umbra Illuminati, but since he's not Lv50 yet and level-pacted, he doesn't see much action when we all gather to play together, but I can't complain about my "chosen" role as a tanking-PB because tanking for an All Kheldian Team isn't like tanking using the Tanker-AT, or even like PB-tanking for a normal team. It's much more active, exciting and fun.

Since most Kheldians have some sort of Disorient powers, it is the most common thing we try to stack on large enemy groups, but naturally it sometimes simply fails because with the long activation/animation times of Pulsar, it's not easy to pull off.

Whenever we get two Warshades who've slotted their Inky Aspect, they can double-stack the disorients and life is much easier, but that doesn't happen so often as to make us totally overpowered

About the DPS, we each do our share, but naturally, Warshades bring more DPS while Peacebringers bring more tanking/healing.

As one of the PB that generally goes along on these TFs I have built up my second build as a support ( medice pool, leadership ) just for all kheld TFs. No body makes me do this and I don't always use it, but I find it seems to help. It is also alot of fun to play healer for a team that doesn't expect healers to only heal.

You and Symbiote both allow me to bite off much more than I could normally chew...

Actually... that's my job as well, I just don't do it quite right because I'm usually back on my feet almost as soon as I drop... I gotta learn not to hit the Rez button by pure reflex anymore!

Yeah, it's nice to have a couple on support just in case. Vengeance is pretty useful for us. =P

Hess is the Striga TF. Levels 25-30. All council but it is quick and fun

I've always said human Council are like fast-food for Warshades, so weak, so dense, so tasty
