Manticore TF: They're ba-ack!

Ran into a level 40 Paragon Protector Elite in the Manticore TF that exemps you to 35 again earlier this evening.

Fortunately, we now have powers up to level 40 in the TF, and plenty of debuff, so that PPE was just a big sack of HP and inf for us. But the bug that makes them spawn in there, where they don't belong, has apparently returned. In i15 I had at least one debuff weak Manticore fail because one of these varmints showed up in a defeat all.

I just ran a Manti TF with a full team and yes sirree we had one, often two and occasionally three level 40 Paragon Protector Elites in our spawns. We had a rad, an Ice 'fender and two TAs so they were more dead then deadly but not a good thing nevertheless.

Yep, I was on a team that ran into this the other night. At one point we were fighting 4 or 5 of them in one of the lab equipment rooms.

They all seemed to use fire blast, and I was on my fire tank, so it wasn't a problem as long as I could keep them focused on me, but it was hard to do so as I wasn't the only tank on the team.

Don't complain, they're the best bit. :-)

Im kinda hoping they stay. They make the TF challenging and punish those who dont watch what they aggro.
