All illusion MSTF, Saturday 5 p.m. EST

Saturday, Nov 13, at 5 P.M. Eastern Time. Get out your illusion controllers, because I'm going to be forming a master STF. Illusion primaries only. Bring whatever secondaries you like. You can send me an email in game, or reply to this post, or both. I also monitor Triumph Watch 2.0 closely, so you can look there to find me over the next few days and add me to globals to make sure we can meet up on Saturday. Otherwise, just send a tell to my global at 5 oclock, or check TW to see when it's starting.

When you make your reservation, please include the following: @Global, Secondary powerset, and level.

50's take precedence of course. I may take a level 47 if we can't get a full team, considering how easily an all illusion team can do this. But you'll be placed on the "backup list".

Guest list so far: Four confident in their schedule. And very solid players. Known Sayaki and Taryn forever, and Anarchy did very well on our Kahn today. Good team. Good secondary balance. Two debuffs, a buff, and a control secondary.
Primary
@Elimist - 50 ill/rad
@Taryn - 50 ill/kin
@Sayaki - 50 Ill/storm
@Anarchy Assassin - 50 Ill/rad
@Snow Globe - 50 ill/emp
Drumroll<-- Tutututtututu @Dragons, coming off the shelf to bring out the 50 ill/rad. THanks Dragons.
It's a special occasion with @Dragons coming back for this, and considering how good he is with his ill/rad, and how many master runs he's got under his belt and what he can bring to the team:
@Strypes will be coming with: 50 Ice troller.

(And you people have been talking of phailure) Pssh. The only one I haven't teamed with much is Anarchy, but I've seen him around and not found any reason to make a negative note of the name. And I saw him at work on Kahn the other day. So I'm totally comfortable with this team. All good players. And with the potential exception of Anarchy, because I don't know him as well, I'm the only one that is known for scrapper lock. LMFAO. And I can keep it contained for the occasion


Backup (In case a primary can't make it. Will put overflow in here)

A mstf ran by eli? I'll be taking bets on which mish it'll phail on.

:O How dare you

Join two Dr G Statesman-Task-Fails, and you're branded for life.

5 mill it's the thorn tree, 10 mill it's against the patrons and 20 mill it's against Aeon

How dare you! The thorn tree is weaksauce, the only patron you have to worry about is Cuda, and 8 illusion trollers can easily stay away from her nuke. And Aion's pets have got nothing on 24 different decoys, 32 if you count the decoy phantasms. Quit yer besmirching of my good name. I'm a respected member of this server.

Meh, my mistake. Still, with 8 illusionists, i'm pretty sure just about anything in the game is pretty doable. No more slander you rapscallion

I'll throw my Ill/Emp into this for you all.

Triumph: White Succubus: 50 Ill/Emp/PF Snow Globe: 50 Ice/FF/Ice Strobe: 50 PB Shi Otomi: 50 Ninja/Ninjistu/GW Stalker My other characters

This has mega fail written all over it.

Lol, Dr G, you caught a bad rap for forming fails, but it's because you're not "mean" and "picky." Learn to say no. Azile told me I couldn't come to a MSTF once, and I didn't get upset. Be picky, and set up for success, and you'll be more popular. You've got great toons and you know how to play em. I'll rip on you a bit for setting up crappy STF's, but I'll never toss you out in the cold and refuse to team with you. I just won't come to your STF's until you learn to be a jerk and tell someone they can't bring their level 45 blaster to STF. I think it kinda sucks that you got alienated from Triumph.
But I'm still obligated to pick on everyone. Lol. My favorite people are the ones who fight back, like Mal and Tam.

Why are you guys anticipating a fail? Illusionists are known for soloing GM's. I took four to a kahn TF yesterday, and we totally smoked it. It's safe, holds aggro like a champ, and 8 of them can hold aggro on a room as big as Shadenfreud's. STF isn't hard. Only issues are Cuda's nuke, Aion's clones, and tree aggro. Patrons aren't really that hard with 24 PA's smacking them, and the same with Recluse.

It's not hard to manage the TF that is. It's hard to pull off the numbers with a crappy team, but the TF itself isn't hard to call shots on. And besides, look at the guest list. If I get 3 more solid players, there isn't a team I'd rather take to a master run. Haven't seen Azile around much, but I'd like to get him in on it. Malkore doesn't have an illusion or I'd convince him to make try to make it. But I'm sure we can get 3 more solid players.

Legit opinion. And I agree. Triumph is starting to annoy me at times. Just sayin, nothin wrong with settin up for success. Everyone hates to fail. And the human element means people get an opinion of whoever ran it, and the opinion sticks. Especially on Triumph, where the small player pool does foster a bit of snobiness. I'll admit, I've been trying to follow my own advice. I tend to form a lot of pugs because I just wanna play with whoever wants to come, if I want a certain quality of toon, I'll specify. Don't usually turn anyone away. Some of my TF's that I don't specifically form to pwn turn out kinda slow. Hence, Tam has little faith in me setting this thing up. . I play a little free and loose, and tend to cannonball sometimes. And my reputation is middle of the road because of it. But I don't mind.
I was watching your slow alienation on Triumph, and I thought it kinda sucked. You got great toons, and you can play em well. I kinda wanted to see you set up some more high end teams so people would know that you know how.
I need to start doing the same, or my reputation is gonna be one for mediocre task forces before long. A few of these master runs, a few good STF's. Maybe lead a MS raid. Just because you know how to run and set up a task force doesn't mean you always choose to max em and take the time to go all ragin bull on it and end up with a -30 minute time.

Reached my quota of kind words for the year.

Man, I wish I could join this, I have an Ill/FF, woulda loved to see how things go w/ 8 Illusionists, but my gaming time is limited to after the kids get to bed (or before they wake up!). GL though, please post the results of how this went!

And Dr. Gem playing on a different server- I'm totally clueless as to what happened here, first time hearing it here. Sorry you're not with us anymore on Triumph Dr. G- man, sucks finding out when you're outta the loop on ur home server

Omg, even my posts for recruiting turn into flames. Mkay, well, anyway, 5 hours left till MSTF attempt. We got a great team roster, and we're only missing one. If someone else takes the spot, still try to make the reservation, and I'll put you on the backup list. Watch out in TW2.0 for when it starts, or I'll send out some /tells to look for our teammates. If someone isn't online at 5 P.M., I'll probably wait a bit, but it'll depend on the team how long we wait for ya. Hope you all can make it. Lookin forward to it.

Bummer I missed it but I would have to use up my last toon slot to make a illusion heh.
