Another fun TT! We had two mission teams running, one doing "Tips" and the other running radio's in PI. So, all-in-all a good turn out and time.
See you all next week on Virtue!

I really hope I can make it tonight; Sands is itching for some more all tanker action. Some things have come up and I may not make it back home in time. Even if I do, there's a chance I'll just crash as soon as I get home.
Have fun, everyone. With any luck, I'll be there.
Where to now?

Looks like I may have to put in some OT tonight at work, but I should be able to make the kickoff time.
I think I've got a level 26ish Fire/DM on Virtue.
Hope to see you all soon!

Hellacious run for me tonight!
Tried running an All tank MoITF.
Were it not for some REALLY bad luck right at the end it woulda been a done deal!
As it was, a single death (though a couple close calls) for the entire TF! And smooth as silk! We didn't "speed". We fought our way to every objective.
And "Lag Hill"? MUCH better lately. MUCH better! I had a couple rubberbands and that's about it. And I get a few of those a night anyhow!
Admittedly, I was a bit timid tonight. My Stone/Dark's active build was less than 3 hours old. So I'd had zero time to break it in. Plus I was playing essentially a PUG (not in the BAD sense mind you, the entire group was EXCELLENT!) Hence we were running +0. Just so I could feel everything out.
Barring the one bad luck death, I think we really set the diff too low. 
- Obsidian Seraph (Me)
- Kael Fireheart
- ZenX.
- Destiny Overdrive
- Nito Brennen
- Shirayukihime
- Equiknocks
- Neon Apocalypse
All in all, a totally kick-*** team!
MVP has to go to Shirayukihime though. Crazy Ice Tank was our enemy herd-master for the entire run. Left me crying because I couldn't get no aggro! While our run was no speed record, it probably would have taken twice as long were it not for Shira's efforts.
I look forward to teaming with you guys again the next Tanker Tuesday or, barring that, the next time I'm on Virtue!

Oh! I need to get my tank out of praetoria before the justice round.
I did Posi Part 2, we were doing great till near the end where we started to have mapserve and from that had a team wipe sent to prison cells in the CoT caves, hard to get together from there but finally finished that mish, and went on to last one with no more team wipes, almost had 1 on first part of the last mish. Great job guys. Oh we had competition for witty :P

Don't feel bad about being unable to pull aggro off me ... it's what Ice Tankers are really good at and known for. Ice Tankers very much subscribe to the "flypaper" strategy for grinding down the enemy. Bring 'em in close and tear them to shreds wholesale, rather than retail.
I was rather pleased by how little the Def Debuff potential of the Roman Legions mattered throughout this entire run. You'd think that an Ice Tanker with no Def Debuff Resistance would be highly vulnerable to Def Debuff Cascade Failure ... but fortunately that's not the case so long as you can keep your Defenses at (or better yet, over!) the softcap, making it hard for Foes to Debuff you in the first place. Since your best (and only?) method for achieving that is via Energy Absorption (PBAoE +Def(all), +End), you wind up with a very Brute-ish mentality and playstyle where you're actually safer when hip deep in enemies, rather than dealing with singles. It's kinda like how Rise to the Challenge fuels Willpower, except here you're adding Def(all) rather than Regeneration.
So what may have seemed like somewhat (semi?)suicidal tactics and strategies for positioning and playstyle, is actually rather "necessary" in order to keep "fueled" and Tanking when playing Ice/Ice/Arctic ... especially with all three Leadership toggles running too. In that sense, my build is actually somewhat "vampiric" in that it drains (live) PBAoE hostiles to fuel itself ... and for that to work, I have to dive in and grab all the aggro I can. With two PBAoE Auras (one damage, one taunt plus slow plus damage debuff), I inhale aggro like a wind tunnel ... and even shield charging tankers have a hard time pulling aggro off me. Once I've got a dogpile in my PBAoE ... they're Zonked. Stack the bodies by the Ice Tank.
Heck I used Hibernate by accident more times last night than I needed to use it to save myself from harm.
And as I said during the TF, I seriously felt like Obelix the Gaul a lot on last night's TF.
"Look at all those lovely Romans ... just for ME ...!"
It's the end. But the moment has been prepared for ...

But Ice tankers *do* have defense debuff resistance--about 50% from Frozen Armor, Glacial Armor and Wet Ice. So unless you skipped all three of those powers, that could explain why you didn't have much trouble with defense debuffs...

We had a great turnout last night, and managed to get four teams rolling. An ITF which from the sounds of things, did great a Posi TF team, I thought they did parts 1 and 2, but I won't swear to it, and two PI missions teams. Thanks all for coming out and thank you Virtue for such a great turnout! Next TT is September 7th on Champion (the Home of Tanker Tuesday!). I'll post the September TT schedule in a day or so.
Take care all, have a good one!

No only part 1, after wards ever one pretty much left so we could not do part 2 like we did on freedom.
