How fast? THIS fast! :)

I do not play blasters very much, but recently on Infinity we decided to have an all-blaster ITF race between various chat channels. The League of Debt, the pinks, and Architect Entertainment Anonymous all fielded one or more teams.

All four teams that tried were able to complete the ITF with nothing but blasters, and the winning team ripped through it like a hot poker in a snowbank:




Yep, 32:55, with only 14 deaths.

Has anyone else ever done an all-blaster ITF faster? If so, I'd be impressed!

I tried it once- unfortunately the team melted before we completed the 2nd mission. People are afraid of challenges like this. Congratulations. That is a good time for any team, and a great one for a specialized team of blasters only.


Words to the wise aren't necessary- it's the stupid ones that need them.

Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.

Awesome!

Just curious, how did you guys handle the AV at the end? Did a few of the blasters assume tanking roles or was it an all out shootout?

Hello! I lead the team of awesome blaster friends on this, and to answer your question, the av was handled with a combination of warburg nukes and sheer damage, he died in under 30 seconds the first time, rezzed, died again a few seconds later and was out of line of sight of the nic! argh! you would think! but, in true professional style the team switched targets and took out the nic in only a minute or two This was a very fun challenge, and I would like to thank the team who put in sooooo much effort preparing for this, including respecing into leadership pools at my request!

That's pretty impressive, considering the amount of lag a full blaster team must have in an ITF. Congrats !

Yay for City of Blasters! Gratz to all involved.

BTW, I'd imagine an all-blaster superteam built around stacked Leadership would be very powerful. Sure there'll be deaths, but imagine stacked Vengence + RotP nuking.
