Ok it looks like there is a channel called "Fruit Salad". I have no clue if it was created in response to this thread or not (the channel op did not set a message of the day). In any case I suggest we all join it unless it turns out we aren't welcome.

I can't readily share that information as I wasn't the team leader. You'll have to ask Synchrony. :P

To answer the other person (regarding did we get Masters)...

We did talk about trying for the Master run, but we forgot to set it up. After the team realized we didn't have it set to do one... nobody wanted to start the TF over since we had already finished the first mission.

We have a word that describes those people, and it's not favorable.

I'd vote for traps, dark miasma, and a radiation emission defenders.

There are too many awesome team combos to list.

Here's a challenge, what mix of defenders would NOT steamroll an ITF?

All bubblers is the only outright terrible combo I can think of, no debuffs at all.

Defender pride is great and all, but this seems a little bit like American women of 2011 celebrating suffrage. Do Defenders seriously not get invited to teams nowadays? All-Defender teams were rockin' STFs years ago. I have a hard time getting my non-Defender/Controller/Corrupter on LRSF runs. I imagine it will be the same with Apex/Tin Mage runs.

Maybe it's just Victory, but I don't see Defenders being disrespected like they used to, and it's been that way for quite a while.

I once had my perm-hasten traps/dp defender kicked from a forming ITF team because they "wanted more damage." I sent a few tells to them mocking their lack of knowledge.

The really silly thing is as I was waiting for the team to form I was goofing around putting as many traps out as possible to my teammate's amusment. So they could plainly see me put 3 acid mortors on the ground at once for a few seconds of overlap. I use hail of bullets fueled by Soul Drain every 32 seconds... On teams I run normal ammo so I get the -20% resist from piercing round on the hardest target, plus I have 3 achilles heel procs slotted, so with acid mortors I'm regularly putting 56-100+% damage resistance debuff on a target. Not to mention I have the best -regen power in the game.

....but they wanted someone with damage? Idiots.


I gotta make pain. I gotta make things right. I gotta stop what's comin'. 'Least I gotta try.

Not so much that, but I wish more people would PLAY defenders and the other buff/debuff ATs on teams.

Calling all members of the enigmatic eight who did the all defender ITF team. It's time for a reunion team up.

After much reminiscing, it's time to bring it back to prove again the defenders can do it. This time : Statesman

Freya (myself) Zippy and Altered States are ready we need the other 5.

The Enigmatic Eight shall rise again

Interesting. Good luck with that. Based on my experiences over the years with teams that are all Defenders it should be pretty easy. i'd offer to join, but i wasn't part of the Enigmatic Eight originally.
