4 Man STF Accomplished!!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Heya Folks,

A few weeks ago I came along a post in the forums that evaded to a 4 Man STF Challenge. Over the years I have accomplished many things, but this "challenge" hit me as something I found particulary interesting. So I came into our voice chat, and I asked the others what they thought it would take to get it done.

The first thing out of everyones mouth was "Illusion". I stopped them cold. I run a particular method of muscling through everything, and wanted to encompass our "style" within this challenge. So I said, everything but Illusion is welcome. We then came up with a team concept.

2 Grav/Rads
1 Grav/Therm
1 WP/Nrg Tank

We set out to build the toons over the next 2 weeks, IO'ing and Accolading out out toons. Impatience got the best of me and I pushed them to finish early. We attemped 2 failures. Some of the problems were as follows...

Grav/Rads couldn't seem to keep the repairmen from healing the tower. And couldnt come up with the nessecary DPS needed to finish the towers. This was heartwrenching for us. So we saw an opporitunity to go back to theory and replace a Grav/Rad with a Fire/Rad. Then we tried attempt #3.

On Attempt number 3 we brought the following...

1 Grav/Rad
1 Fire/Rad
1 Grav/Therm
1 WP/Nrg Tank

This got us to the end, as in our first 2 attempts. In the first 2 attempts we were able to only kill 2 of the towers. With the combination changing to the Fire/Rad over the other Grav/Rad we were able to mow through things easier.

***NOTE***
if you go to get shivans after killing the last 4 AV's you will have to re-kill all 4 patron AV's.
(Don't ask...lol)

***NOTE***
The endurance drain from recluse hits less often if you keep recluse in a single spot. Do NOT move him around to reposition him or you will likley initiate him spamming a ranged endurance drain on your tank that will lead to a team wipe when the tank gets their toggles dropped and dying using this method.

I want to take a moment to thank those who helped make this possible...

@Lost Incorporated
@Nikki-Graves
@Wiry One
@The One
@Carebears1752

A special thank you to those who helped Nikki get some much needed enhancments $ Respec for our 3'rd attempt, I think the SG helped her with a few hundred million easily.

They say the proof is in the pudding, and pictures or it didn't happen. So here you go...

yeah, had to go to work the night before...lol. As for the master badge, we think it's possible if u have a lot of patience. We just opted for shivans on the towers. The ONLY place we used the shivans were the towers. We only used 6 shivans the whole "Towers" run.

We had LR NP, but we were all tired so we unleashed every shivan we had, shielded them, forged them and watched LR go squish!!!

Overall this was a lot of hard work, but man we feel great we did it. The initial day I came into our TS and said "Hey guys, what do you think it would take to do a 4 man STF?" they all said "An act of god!" or "SHHQQQ TSSSS SShhQQQqq,.... you're breaking up. What did you say?!!!" lol. The next day they came back and said "Are you serious?!" and when they knew I was we got to work. The last few weeks was a wonderful thing watching these Guild mates work together towards this challenge.

I thought the lady and gentlemen that helped make it possible deserved the credit, so I posted it here for posterity. I feel honored to be working with them.

Nicely done. Now, after you get the quad-team MoSTF, you have to duo the STF like they did here.

You mean try to get recluse stuck in a spot where he can't move and can't attack? Sorry, no thanks. That isn't how I do bussiness. Khalens a good player, I know. he learned most of his basics under my sg's guidance. He is a valuable resource for anyone that needs advice.

I don't try to avoid the AV... I advance on them. It's all about playstyle. But hey, thanks for trollin the boards again. Toodles, and happy turkey day.

PS, tell me when Khalen manages to use "Resistance" instead of defense to accomplish his "Duo" team. I would be interested in hearing how he overcomes certain obsticles.

Sorry EverStryke if you thought I was trolling. Really, I am truly impressed with a 4 man victory. Even moreso that you had 0 defeats. I couldn't do anything close unless competent players dragged my sorry rear end along with them. As for trapping LR, didn't know that's what he did. Guess I'm just a little too naive about those things.

I was just throwing the duo out there for something else to achieve, not to knock down what you did. I am really sorry if that's what you thought I was doing.

So what about that MoSTF run? Out of the question?

4-man MoSTF would require intense care to it, far more then full team, obviously.

Just saying.

Didnt meant to sound harsh bro. I have heard stories of him getting "trapped". And in the pics I saw he was just that. There was no "fight" so if that was me it would have made me feel as if it were a hollow victory.

As for us, I thank any encouraging words you throw our way. The guys worked hard for this. And the thermal... lol. He's got tunnel vision. lol.

It's possible. Would take an immense amount of dedication on the thermals count in order to keep the tank alive. We only tried it 3 times. victory on number 3, swapping AT's until we got it optimal.

I'd take a rad and a kin, for the four man. Or atleast one of them. They'll make a big diffrence.

Quite the accomplishment! Congrats to you all!

Put a team together, I am willing to bet there are better combos. We just used what fit our playstyle. Mitigating GW seems to be the hardest part next to killing the towers (without trapping LR).

On Saturday I will do that, or try to, Lol.

Congratulations, nicely done.

Was it really 0 defeats, or it just shows 0 if not specified challenge settings?

Damned good thermal is all I am saying!

Gratz guys! That's a huge accomplishment, considering all the 8 man teams that have failed that TF.

Let us know how this works out. I know a team of 5 Cold doms did it on another server. Let's see how you fare with your 4 man.
