Soloed my First ITF

So last night I was on a Master of the LGTF. I like running Master runs because we make it a team effort, but last night was just sitting there watching the Stone tank do everything. So I was bored out of my mind, and kinda felt insulted too. It's like he was saying he was the only one who knew how to play the game. Now I don't think I'm a great player, I know some people might hate the way I play, but I know what I'm doing.

So after feeling useless I decided I need to do something to prove that I know what I'm doing. So I jump on my DM/SD Scrapper and soloed the ITF



I set it for a master run, but really didn't care if I failed. My first death was in the second mission, when a Cyst killed me I brought my second account back on after that. I died 6 more times, my other account died 4 to give me a total of 11 deaths.

I didn't use temp powers but I did use Insp, but most of the time it was just me being paranoid I have yet to get the Rare Alpha slot yet so I'm still only 50. I'm going to do this again when I get my Rare Alpha slotted.

Pretty cool.

One of these days I will have to get around to trying this.

Very nice! I need to get around to trying this on my main character, too, someday.

BTW, you missed a name in your target box.

Nice, what was your strategy when fighting super rommy and his fuzzies?

Awesome work, BrokenPrey!

Congratz!! I've wanted to run that one and silver mantis solo for the longest time but I don't have a second account and I don't think I could find someone to log in theirs and keep it from logging out long enough to do so. When will they give us the opportunity to run them solo? When I tried before it dropped me from the TF when the last filler quit.

What server you on? I have a 50 to spare on Victory, Pinnacle, and Freedom.

How did you tackle Rom and the auto-hit nictus?

Siphon Life I bet. If you can eliminate the threat of everyone else (down to 5%), SL can keep up with the autohit damage if you have enough recharge.

EDIT: Well, 5% for minions, Rommy will be a bit more.

The second account can log out without dissolving the TF, they just can't quit. Get a friend with a level 35+ character they don't want to play right now to keep your TF active for you if you don't have a second account.

Oh, and gratz BrokenPrey.

Gratz on the run! I have always wanted to solo TFs, but on Pinnacle I find getting anyone to help you out starting one a rather tedious and often futile effort. So, my toons never get the Task Force Commander Accolade, let alone get an accomplishment like yours.

Heh, I noticed the protector tfs channel in the top. Yeah, I know how some of their LGTF runs go, and I agree it can feel like one or two people doe everything and don't inform the team of the leader and their friend's strategy for it all. And it doesn't help that the master run makes everyone who doesn't know the plan afraid to go against whatever the plan might be, making them feel useless. Anyway, gratz on the ITF, I wanna try it solo on my fire/rad sometime soon. Duo'd it a while back with a db/fire brute.

I think the second account is still kind of soloing..but as long as ya honest about it, it alright. This has been soloed by different ATs without a second account used at all but the point ya had to make has been made I am sure.


He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.

Even so, it's meant for 6-8 people and he did it with 1 and a half.

The Second account did nothing but die, it was killed by ambushes. It did no damage at all or took any damage away from my Scrapper, so yes it was solo. I bought it back on after losing the Master run because I wanted to get some rewards like shards.

I would of left it on all just to collect the rewards to begin with

When I went to try and solo the ITF on my scrapper, one friend remained on the team (as you need at least 2 people) and basically door sat collecting xp, presitage, drops while I soloed.

Of course, they then quit the TF thinking it would be fine, and they were just along for the free stuff when all I had left was defeat Romi

Good job BP.

I soloed a master itf set for 8 on my first try with my fire/shield a year ago before incarnate abilities and inherent fitness. I used inspirations only in the last fight. After the autohit nictus was down, it was smooth sailing again. A few of the other players who helped me start it stayed logged on in town and a couple logged back in to collect their badge.

No point; just had to come brag.
