So you took on the 3 nictus and Romulus and stood there until they all dropped dead? Damn impressive if so.

(Still quite a feat even if I misunderstood. )

I would love to see your build (unless you keep them as your secret =], then in that case its all good). I have been looking for a good defense/hp/regen build for a kat/wp, and boy do you have a good one!

That was plan B
But since plan A went through without a snag, just went with it. I invited him along with his buddies, but I think he wanted to solo me...

Nothing really out of the ordinary. Goal was to cap melee with 1 application of DA, f/c/e/n at the cap (failed here as I was not able to get the PvP IO) and as much HP and regen I can get while having an average ST attack chain and still keep Lotus Drop slotted for damage along with Flashing Steel (failed here too).

Here you go

Does it say something for how high the bar has gotten these days that I took my first stab at a double RWZ challenge this morning with Alexei, failed, couldn't find another two groups of 54s, and am now depressed about all the effort I put into a toon that sucks so bad that he can't even do a double RWZ challenge on the first try?

But seriously, solo MoITF with RWZ challenge rules? That sounds like the land of make believe. Now I REALLY think Alexei sucks. Grats, mang!

Very nice. I hope you don't mind if I steal this for my BS/WP

HOLY MOTHER OF CRAPCAKES!

Amazing!

Curious to know what attack chain you're running though, my Nin/ Stalker will soon need only one application of DA to softcap and I was wondering what the best chain for that is.

Nope, don't mind at all. The build is there for the taking or wouldn't have posted it otherwise ...

My Kat/Fire couldn't even come close on doing the 2x RWZ challenge on cap melee (2x DA), range and around 40 aoe with Healing Flames coming back every 15 seconds. I really believe going for cap melee with 1 application of DA is the way to go. That slotting I have for DA is pretty much common across my Kat/BS builds.

MoITF is really a challenge in itself. No deaths no temps? I just added no inpirations to try to go with the RWZ rules.
But as Nihilii stated, I failed to agro Romy and his Nictus together. The Plan was to go in, kill everything on the platform first then use those 5th column around as fodder for RttC. But for what ever reason I was able to pull Romy off without the nictus following which probably made it a bit easier. I've seen it done a few times by others but have never actually tried it myself till now. Probably just got lucky

It turns out I needn't have feared. I beat the double RWZ challenge on my second attempt. I feel better now. Video uploading. It's not a solo, no-inspiration MoSTF, but I'll take what I can get.

(Edit: Please, devs. If we tell the game that we're equivalent to eight heroes, please let that be sufficient to run a task force. I'll send cookies.)

Sweet!!!

And it only takes 6 heroes to start it up...
I got 2 accounts if anybody on freedom that wants to try

Woah... that's pretty crazy stuff right there, Iggy. I agree with Werner that is almost the land of make believe. Congrats!

Side note, any particular reason RttC is shut off in your pics?

Must have came down when I got stunned from the nictus
Good thing I took down the auto hit first. That would have sucked if I died

I'm extremely impressed; that is one hell of a feat. Congratulations to you.

Almost makes me want to give you the gladiator's piece because you'd but it to better to use.

Almost. (Looks like you don't need it anyway)

:P

He say nerf WP, nerf katana, and nerf IOs while also saying buff Romulus by making the healing nictus have also a heal other, the auto hit pbaoe dmg nictus have also a auto hit ranged aoe attack with sniper range, and for the nictus that spawns more he will also spawn dwarfs and novas.

Wow.

That's awesome Iggy. Cheat Code, my claws/sr just soloed her first pylon with only half her sets done so it'll be a while before I can come close to a solo ITF, but I am amazed, jealous and proud all at the same time. You set the bar higher and it gives us all something to strive for.

And I totally agree with Werner, please devs, gives us the ability to start task forces solo.

LOL, nice name there.

As far as the topic goes. Erm...yeah....don't think I'll be doing that anytime soon. (Who am I kidding, I'll probably never do it)

Awesome job iggy.

I wanna try this on my kat/wp - how exactly did you take out the final av spawn? You fought rommy and his nicti (is it nicti?... lol) all at once or did you seperate them? If all at once, what did you kill first? I'm suprised you had the dmg to take down anything with that healer nictus in there.

*chuckle*

I've had that happen to me a couple times on my WP Tank, too. I keep forgetting that RttC detoggles when mezzed. (I think in my particular case it was while fighting GW and not Romulous. I think Tanker status protection is just strong enough not to be blown out by his aoe stun at lvl50.)

Glad you guys like the name I thought it was appropriate for an /SR and since I only made her like a year ago, I'm very surprised the name wasn't taken.

And yes, her battlecry is "Up. Up. Down. Down. Left. Right. Left. Right. B. A. B. A. Start." and no, I didn't forget Select between the last A and Start. I never coop played Contra because people always stole the scattergun.
