You've been.....Alphastruck!

I've had more luck pulling Trapdoor to the corridor. Knocking him in the lava doesn't help much for me, as he keeps hopping out, and he kept spawning in clones within LOS, even down below. Might have just been my bad luck (I've seen him spawn them below when he's up top), but that's my experience.
I managed to unlock the Alpha on about 12 alts but only managed to slot it on 4 so far.
Trapdoor is easy if you have KB and I found the Nemesis Staff useful in knocking him into the lava where he quickly died. Mostly dropped the RWZ mission after doing it on my main. The new TFs are fun and challenging. People seemed really frustrated with Apex but I think once they adjust tactics it will not be a problem. The loudest complaints came from tanks who said they felt useless on the last mission. A tank can contribute in the last mission either by taunting the mobs away from the squishies or by taunting BM out of the blue spots so other melee can get in close to attack her. If you're used to turning on granite and auto taunting Recluse while AFK then I can understand how the BM encounter might be frustrating. Ninja run is my new favorite power for the BM fight. People regularly failed other TFs when they were first released but we eventually adapted and can breeze through any TF now. |
Tanks and melee are okay on the Battle Maiden encounter if they learn to joust. I admittedly did not do a good job of moving Battle Maiden around the map on my run, but she tended to not want to close to melee with me, and I didn't want to get her in tight to a corner. Though if melee types are jousting, hopefully shouldn't be too many nanite strikes right by her.
Wow... did not think too much about how Granite is screwed for that encounter, like MMs. That's a rough fight if you can't move.
Going to have to give that and Tin Mage another try later. I have to run down to my wife's family for a few days, as her grandmother is really sick... things aren't looking good.
