Fire/Radiation Superteam

I think you put it best when you said who needs PL when you have a fire/rad team. I personally went from 16 to 23 from the frostfire and posi's. There is some work to be done on getting AMs synced and/or waiting for everyone to gather up but that's kind of expected two meetings in. Tuesday I'm hoping to do some Striga stuff and maybe get a Hess in there too.

Yeah, I stopped Al at 14. Going to make sure to get the Cavern of Transcendence trial so we have it as an option.

One of the things to get on top of too, is the ability to anticipate your enemy groups and adjust difficulty accordingly. Posi2 with CoT+Vahz is a lesson in this.

Council, with all that knockback and mez, is another one we need to be wary with.

If you think it's crazy now, wait until everyone has choking cloud and their imps.

The hard part is going to be the ability to avoid outlevelling some of the unlockables.

I believe there is an option to turn XP off, as crazy as that must sound to some folks.

I made a toon specifically for this, mainly to learn more about the powersets. This was a lot more fun than I thought it would be.

As far as getting AMs in sync, I think that if we all have hasten 3 slotted, and all have AM 3 slotted- and have them slotted the same way,(recharge redux) they should all be in sync, provided we're all the same level.



Still, it was a lot of fun throwing an attack out and getting the invalid target show on the screen because the baddies were already dead.

The biggest shame is that tanker tuesday conflicts with this time. Wish they'd move the tanker time to later or another day.

Yeah. We had a good run in the Hollows. Gave a bunch of trolls a good shellacking, taught some Igneous the meaning of "assault and battery".

Then half the team decamped to TT.

Fun had by all.

Thursday we'll finish the Atta arc and unlock the Cavern of Transcendance trial. Then I can turn XP back on.

Wish I could've joined you guys, but I don't get online much during the week due to work.

You don't need to worry about Tanker Tuesday, it's only on Liberty rarely. They do TT 3 Tuesdays a month on their home server of Justice I think it is, and the 4th Tuesday they jump to a different server. This month was our turn, but they likely won't be back for a few months.

Nah, turning off XP is my friend. I have a Widow I'm working through ALL red-side content in level-order that's making EXTENSIVE use of this. The hard part is trying to remember when and where to stop to give yourself maximum effectiveness without outleveling things.

That's just it, the level spreads are sometimes fairly wide. So it can be a bit...gappy at times.

TT has been going a lot longer than we have.

That's like some guy emigrating from Outer Spotsylvania coming to the US and asking the whole country to go someplace else.

And heck, the TT this week drew something like 5-6 full teams. I was gobsmacked.

Actually it's First Tuesday is Champion and the rest are spread across other servers.

Oh, and it popped into my head just now.

I will not be here for the Liberty Fire/Rad group or TT next week. I'm going to be down in Indianapolis at GenCon.

If any of you live in the area (or are going to the con), there's a Meet and Greet at the Spaghetti Factory on Friday, August 6th.

Like Hyper said, theres gonna be a little disparity between levels with people being able to make it or not. I crafted a good amount of basic IOs that are in the base and will send out inf if needed for SOs so that AM can be up as quick as possible.

We started off the night running some Striga Arcs with the intent of unlocking Hess but once TT hit someone suggested Synapse so we tackled that with 7 f/Rads and one scrapper. I don't know if he was, but if I were the scrapper I'd have been getting frustrated running into a mob and it being dead already. A good time was had by all.

Fire/Rad 1: Why's the scrapper just standing over in the corner?
Fire/Rad 2: He's sulking.
Fire/Rad 3-7: *Nod* LETS BURN STUFF!

Last thursday we ran a full f/Rad Synapse. We did it quicker than the one on tuesday plus we wiped out babbage so quick that he was dead before anyone else could get there to help. It's still amazing at how fast fire/rads can wipe things out.

So.....has anyone come up with a build for our f/rads yet? I can't wait to have all of our f/rads slotted up and ready to BURN!!!! hehe

Tonight one team did some Bloody Bay action while another team wrecked some council by doing Hess and Citadel TF.

Tomorrow I believe there is some teaming/tf action to help people catch up.

Synapse was run yesterday and I think a Sister Psy is happening tonight. If you need to catch up, now would be a good time.

Due to some server hiccups, not a lot of teaming happened tonight. Anyone else for a make up day tomorrow?

Even with GR being out we were still able to form up for some Citadel. Did I hear ITF soon?

And now that GR is out, we are accepting fire/rad corrs as long as they have AM

What level is this superteam? I just resigned up and this sounds like an intriguing team.

Like the group over on Freedom, this is a "come as you are" event. If you wanna show up with a brand-spankin' new Fire/Rad, you can. Realistically though, if you're in TF range (10+) it's easier for everyone (and more rewarding).

I'm pretty upset with myself - I slept through Tuesdays run. Had my alarm set and everything. Not sure what happened, but I'm not missing Thursday, if I can help it.

We missed you too, Ukase. If any of the brand new f/rads are around tonight, feel free to send me a tell @calla and I can run missions to get you a few levels before tomorrow.
