"Defeat the Council Agent"

I've found a Vigilante mission where the regular spawns are ALL void hunters.

So... who's managed this on their kheldian?

(I'm doing it on a scrapper, and I'm rather glad about that)

I managed it, but it was WAY harder than I expected. I went into it figuring I would just use Starless Step and Gravity Well, single out the Voids, and take them on one at a time. I'd done it a couple of times on other ATs, and figured the strategy would work, even if it was slow and tedious.

Unfortunately, I don't know if it was my difficulty, or an innate resistance, but the Void Stalker Lieutenants turned out to be immune to my Starless Step. I just COULD NOT get them to teleport, no matter how many times I tried it. Finally, I managed it by overloading on Lucks, charging in in Dwarf Form and taking on the Stalkers, and taking out as many as I could. If I died (which was often) I either loaded up on Lucks again if there were any Stalkers left in the spawn, or picked off the Hunters one by one from behind an obstacle.

The Council Boss at the end, in comparison, was a pushover. He was one of those Ascendants that hide behind a shield, but I just pounded on him until he put up the shield, then just stood there and waited for him to drop it. He wasn't really hurting me enough to be a worry.

I was thankful the mission is in the 30-40 band and not the 20-30, as I don't think I could have taken it on with my 20 Warshade. He has Starless Step, but not on his main build, which is the only one I have fully slotted. I actually got frustrated a couple of times because I ran into a Void (just a normal one, in the mission) started to Starless Step him, and remembered, "oh, wait, I can't do that yet."

Fortunately I got him to 24 in the Tip missions, and as soon as I did I picked up Dwarf (it's a Human/Dwarf build, but I didn't want to put off Stamina or Stygian Circle) and respeced, and picked up Starless Step when I did. If I ever do it again, I will probably turn my difficulty down to -1, or at least 0.

Saw this mission on my Scrapper and my inner Squid died a little. Was a scary f'ing mission! I'm glad to hear someone managed it on their Kheldian.

Seem to be recalling Starless Step/Teleport Foe are mag 2 (assuming they even are based on magnitudes) ports, thus they don't port liuetenants.

Of course, might be wrong since i haven't exactly looked at the foe porting powers lately due to me never actually taking them.

That missions should be renamed to the Kheldian Debt Farm.

I ran across this mission last night with my PB.... and a 8 member team with a 2nd PB needless to say between the Void mobs and the Crystals all over the place... I had (lets just say) a hard time relaxing in that mission. There was a corner that spawned 2 crystals, a Boss, a few LT's and a number of Minions.... While I was visiting the ICU nurse I stocked up on as many Purples as I could hold and that group was not as hard the second time around and because I focused on the Crystal while they took out the others. I did notice that If I stayed in Human form the Voids ignored me but once I changed to something else, seems they all shot me at once.


Anyway I just have to say the Devs are wrong, just plan wrong for that mission!!!!
