Triumph defeats Hamidon in a landslide

Well, looks like I picked the right time to return to the game. First Hami raid I've been to since I've been back and success (not to mention 3 rare salvage drops in a row). My Centriole could have been better but I will be content to know that Triumph has what it takes to beat Hamidon at his own game.

Batz did an excellent job leading.

My only request is that we get 1-2 Dark Defenders to make a regular appearance for this (or have more people with self-rezzes) so that we can regroup faster when we have a lot of people down.

Might also suggest we get one going Villain side so that the villains have the chance to raid as well.

Anyways... good job last night

I usually bring my Dark Defender, but I couldn't make it this time around.

Good to hear that the raid went well, though.

Congrats, Triumph!

We did a successful villain side raid not too long ago (can't remember who organised it) and I was on my 50 dk/dk corr was a lot of fun.

Oh yeah Ultra Troll organised it and it was ages ago before it got broken.

Woot! Gratz Triumph on another successful Hami Raid. Sorry it took a while to finally take Hami down, but everyone basically stuck through it until it was done. And considering that the majority of the people were either first timers at a Hami Raid or old time vets who had only done the pre-I9 Hami, it actually went very well IMO. Although we had to pull out a few times to reset from some team wipes, we did have progress each time we went in. And by the last wave, it looked like everyone knew exactly what they were doing and we did the 4th wave in one sweep.

Since we had a few vets there to fill in some key leadership roles, I tried to make the instructions as simple as I could for anyone not on the Hami Taunt or yellow mito teams: Follow the main targetter and kill whatever he was targetting (green mitos, then blue mitos)- and that's it. The scrapper, hami taunt, and controller hold teams were in good hands, so my main concern is usually making sure that the tanks on the yellow mito taunt team are coordinated and are each taunting a separate yellow mito. I stayed on the yellow taunt team as a scrapper to make sure I can see that the 5 tanks are on their assigned mito, and then make sure the scrapper team starts on the 6th yellow mito that was available. With that taken care of, all that was needed to instruct to the rest of the raiders was 1) Buff up, 2) Bionuke, 3) attack thru the main targetter. Like Gem said, having some Dark Defenders or bubblers for the fear/mez resists could have made things much easier, but that didn't stop us from pressing on forward!

Since it's been a few years since I've organized one of these, I wanted to thank the following who made it real easy for me to organize this:

1. Emerald Fusion, Kaasha, Mintmiki, and Bimbo for organizing the Hami Taunt team
2. organizers for the other key teams:

Sun Splitter (what?! he was here?!)- scrapper team
Dragons- controller team
Kyle Al Mordu- blaster team

3. Otelo for being the main targetter (I think it was hie first time at it, too! )- I figured that since he's used to calling out targets in PvP, this should be easy-peasy for him as long as he knew which mitos to target for everyone!
4. Anyone who brought EoEs, and Dr. Gemini for organizing the EoE/GM hunt on Friday (sorry I couldn't make it for that )
5. Anyone who brought bionukes (Fyrus, Bluebella, ThugOne, Last Ronin, Einot Imperium, and a few others)
6. Turbo Starr's Council of Heroes (formerly the Riders of Apocalypse), as well as the SGs of the Grand Coalition (Fusion Force, Wild Cards, and Global Heroics)- these SGs are always around somewhere to assist when you need them
7. My top notch yellow mito taunt team! The 2 buffers (sorry, forgot who they were, but you know who you are!), and the tanks (@-graystar, Gavalin Kingsbury, T'Rne, Arachnid _____ (forgot the 2nd part of the name), Mr. Slovakia, and Statesman V who filled in for Gavalin when he had to leave). You guys were on point the whole time, and that helped the rest of the teams to make progress on the mitos each time we went in!


Cyas at the next one! (TBD, as usual )

It was fun! Great job leading Batz!

Gratz guys.

Had a great time, only found out about it literally last minute before it began. This is also my 2nd post i9 Hami Raid and the first one wasn't a success. Was on the Hami Taunt team with Turbo and Em. Great coordination and tank rotation on the taunting.

Batz really gave easy to follow and clear instructions as to what needed to be done. He really did an amazing job.

I will bring Az in next time since he's a D3. Looking forward to it.

Thanks for leading Batz! Was a lot of fun!

Grats everyone, wish I could have made it.
