All Scrapper STF Happening on Guardian Server

Hello all!

Not sure if any of you remember this but a while back I started a thread inquiring about how an All Scrapper STF might be run. Well, now I'm ready to give it a try. I'll be posting this on the Guardian Forum as well but I thought this might be a good place to post about it as well.

So far we have four people for sure:

1.) Myself: Katana/Dark

2.) Dying Breath: (Probably) Fire/Willpower

3.) Sylki: Dark/Regen

4.) Mystic Marvel: Spines/Regen or Dark/WP

5.) Stratonexus: Katana/Inv

6.) Angry Weasel: Claws/Regen

7.) Sweet Loving: Claws/SR, Dark/SR or Dark/Inv

8.) Mousedroid: Broadsword/WP

I ran into Stratonexus and he reminded me about this so I'll be saving a spot for him if he wants it and is available.

We'll be running it this Friday on the Guardian Server at 9pm Central time, so if you'd like to join, send me a message here or in-game.

Thanks everyone and wish us luck!

Not on that server, otherwise I'd join. Have fun!

Alright, it looks like we're all set. However, I was wondering if anyone has any advice on which of us should Tank Recluse as we (surprisingly) don't have a /Shield Scrapper, which is what was recommended in an earlier thread.

Any advice?

I've seen a SR scrapper tank recluse. The tactics he used was taunt recluse from afar to the point where he does run after you he just stands there dumbfounded.

The toon gotta IOd out for defense ranged preferred just incase.

Its been awhile since the AS-STF happened on guardian so I can't remember much more.

We will see what the builds are when we form up. I can tank LR, but he will summon pets which will eventually overcome me, but we should be able to get the towers down in enough time to make it a non-issue (barring bad luck and me being too slow on the green inspires).

Well, we did it.

Took a little over three hours and there were more than a few deaths but it was awesome fun. Oddly enough, Scirrocco gave us a harder time than anything else, even after we got him and Ghost Widow seperated.

Recluse and the towers went very well too--much more smoothly than I had anticipated.

All in all, it was a blast! Thanks again to everyone that joined us and to those of you that offered advice.

Awesome!

Any screenies?

I bet Celeste was your tank.

If Strato's Blaster can tank LR, would have been a cake-walk for his Kat/Inv.

Lord Recluse and the towers.

Hey, neat! Thanks for posting the videos!

It's also interesting to note that when I was asking around in the channels, looking for people to do this TF, I had more than a few people kind of be like "An All Scrapper STF? Uh, yeah, good luck with *that*." I'm not really sure why though...I don't know of anything in the game that eight Scrappers, or heck, eight of any AT couldn't handle at this point.

Lord Recluse failed to summon any bosses (until the big summons when he is near dead) in my most recent run even though he did not have a debuff toggle on him for a large portion of the beginning of the fight (mostly because I royally screwed up, but that is a different issue). His pet summoning seems to be broken.

Also worth noting - Recluse won't summon anything if he hasn't been damaged. So Confront is actually useful to have here, for once.

Did this when we ran it on Defiant, I was on a capped SR scrapper but also popped purples to keep defence above 75% - this counters his tohit buff and keeps you at the cap until the tower's down. I also had enough native run speed to keep him chasing after me, using the pillars down the bottom to block line of sight and greatly reduce the number of attacks he could make.

That said, I did still go down a couple of times... which is why one of the Shields was on backup doing the same thing.
