Lady gray tf is not fixed.

After an hour of going through the Task Force with the challenges set up for Mo run, we were stopped cold by the green mitos, which still regen like crazy and won't drop their shield. Avoid.

Oh, actually it's worse. Castle just posted in the patch notes.

So now you know, if you're not a controller or dominator, don't bother trying for this badge. 50 points of hold protection for a team of 8? What the heck, Castle?

je_saist: 50% hold resistance on mitos. You can stack it 3 times, not 6-7.

I agree. I just spent 20 minutes trying to organize a team of 8 to attack 1 green mito and it just wasn't happening. Fortunately the server went down and ended our misery.

Remember the good old days when Blues and Greens could be tp foe/wormholed out of the hami goo and you could fight them with out the other Mitos getting in the way?

Those were sure some fun times. I think I miss them now more then before.

Take the Magic: The Gathering 'What Color Are You?' Quiz.

Update from the other thread:

I hope it doesn't take long to revise this. "Let's datamine for a month to see if its needed" would suck.

I think Castle is just getting things set for the upcoming MoLGTF... >.>

Biggest Troll on the forums? I'll give you a hint:

I can get 12 points of Hold with my Ninja/Dark MM and that is if Fluffy is on the same target as I am. I would suggest that since 50 people are required to defeat Hamidon and 8 people are allowed in a TF, then give Hamidon 6 or 7 protection since 50 divided by 8 is 6.25. Not sure how bad Hamidon would be if every single stat of the weakened hamidon was divided by 8 compared to regular Hamidon with a few changes here are there to make it more suitable.

We've done Hami raids with 18 people, and it's been done with less.

We also completed a LGTF before today's patch with only one mezzer on the team, so it's certainly possible. Bring along a few EoEs for the melees, kill the yellows and blues, kill the pylons, power through Hami (if you can), and then kill the greens.

skip the green mitos?

Well, I had a team give it a shot today and we had 2 controllers on the team, and we still couldn't do it. I even had my tanks KO Blow, so that was a little bit more of a hold, blaster had char and another blaster had freeze ray. We couldn;t hold the green mito.

So yeah, I think this needs to be taken down a few nothces.

From the looks of it, you will need a team of Controllers or Doms. I like a challenge don;t get me wrong, but when you need to drop other ATs to load up on other ATs, its not a good design.

I wouldn't go so far as to say you need a team of Controllers and Doms to do this, but I do think 50points of hold prot for an 8man team is unrealistic.

For reference, iirc my Fire/Fire permadom, (128% global rech not including Hasten, Unbreakables in Char), spamming Char and Cinders as soon as they're up only just about manages to maintain 50 mag.

Requiring you to stack the amount of mag necessary to permahold an AV is absurd. For raids, fine, because there's far more people. For a LGTF, I'd say 15-20 at the most, is reasonable.

Well I just completed the LGTF with a PUG and we had 4 controllers and it was really hard to take one down, but we managed it. We didn't complete the MoLGTF requirements, but we did complete it.

Yeah, I hope a fix is in the near future, because normal pug teams will have a helluva a time completing the normal TF let alone a Master of.

I just finished LGTF with 7 attackers and 1 empath.

It took around 1hour 42mins I think it was, There was no controller or holders within the team.

Only 2 members kept dieing, the rest hadnt died once.

Really, it all depends on who is within your team, but it proves that this can be done, and is not exactly impossible. Only a little harder then it was once before. But isn't that what we are constantly seeking within City of Heroes?, A challenge??.


Also its good to note that the team was a PuG collected from SBH channel in Union.

I've only done this one a few times, but why is holding the mitos so important? We always just killed them all and I don't recall holding them on any of our three runs.

From Castle's notes two things got changed, 1. they can't heal while held, 2. they pretty much can't be held. Seems to me like these cancel each other out and there should be no significant difference from before.

Previously holding them meant they still spammed heals. Now, they spam heals because you can't hold them. What am I missing because i'm obviously missing something?
