Your most epic moments for Rikti Monkeyfication

So here it the last mission of the ITF on my SS/FA brute the team is busy hitting the romans on the lower platform so I run up to Romulus and his Nictus friends. I pop [Eye of the Magus] and start hitting rommy. Then I notice my secondary mutation is recharged....
Yup. I get turned into a monkey while solo against Romulus with Magus ticking away D:


What's your most epic time to have been Monkeyed?

I rarely take that risk, but it has bitten me once. I managed to hop-hop away from the combat somehow without getting whacked and had to endure the laughs of my teammates as they finished up the group we were pounding.

Turning into a monkey is never epic.

Illus/Rad on a LGTF and I was of course the debuffer, just locked onto Honoree and noticed my secondary mute was rdy for a recast......

....worked out well for Honoree.

On a side note, it happening while fighting Rikti made it funnier.

I was in rare form on my Warshade and doing well in Siren's Call. I decide to pop Secondary Mutation before charging into a fight in Nova form, when I drop out of the sky because Rikti Monkeys can't fly. So I spend the next minute running from every person and NPC I see hoping I don't get one shot by... well... everything.

Happened to me just a couple of days ago on the boss of the last mission in Ice Mistral.. Right as the team was ready to jump in and start swinging, I hit that wonderful button on my tank and was reduced to becoming a cheerleading monkey.. nothing more. By the time I reverted back to my tank, the boss was dead and the TF was done LOL

Thank goodness I was on a good PUG team

Tanking the Phalanx.

*poof*

"@#$%!"

Oh, and it persists through resurrect.

i once got hit with the monkey 2x in a row during a apex tf lol, couldnt participate for entire part of first mish because i was monkied whole time lol

Rolled a new Stalker red-side, enter Break Out. Claim all my veteran rewards, set up my power trays and UI how I like them, turn on my toggles, and hit Secondary Mutation. Now I'm standing in Break Out as a Rikti Monkey.

Not a good sign of things to come for that character....

(Cue "Devs hate villains"/"lolStalker" replies....)

I got monkeyfied right at the start of a mission in the Sister Psyche TF. Not hugely epic but one of the other characters on the team had a Clown motif so it made for some good jokes.

When did they add this? I used Secondary Mutation a decent amount of time and I've never turned into a monkey...

I would buy the Mutant Pack in a heart beat if the power always turned you into a monkey.

Jumping into the bowl during a Mothership Raid.

For me it was during the start of a Rikti invasion in Founder's Falls. I hit the button and... yep, I'm a monkey.

Then a Rikti bomb fell on me.

It did surprisingly little damage to me, though. Nowhere near what it should have. I think the monkey form has some special resistance/immunity to the bombs.

Two times come to mind:

Buff phase at the Hami raid. (Has happened more than once)

Created a new character in Praetoria, just zoned in, hit the power, and wham, Monkey'd.

A tank on an STF run right as they were about to start taunting Recluse and we'd just started on the towers.

I was teamed with my usual Wednesday night team fighting Malta on my Warshade.

*BLAST*
*HOLD*
*STUN*
*Turn into a monkey*

EEEP!

A couple of weeks later, the same thing happens against Carnies.

Last phase of Hami Raid, hit it for a buff and...

Great Stories everyone

i usually set Secondary Mutation on auto if i have no other click powers that can use that honor more.

Once it happened when i was switching to one of my Dark Miasma Defenders to run a Kahn TF. i log in and was a monkey when the loading screen cleared. i told the team, "Um, slight delay. Monkeys can't use portals."

It also happened to another Defender in the middle of a boss fight midway through the Manticore TF IIRC. Slightly annoying since i was on a rad with the debuff toggles running. i spent my time monkeyfied trying to hop onto the boss.

i wish Devolution happened more often.

I was the emp supporting a tank who was taunting Recluse. The tank was a fire tank and really needed my attention. I hit secondary mutation and instant monkey, hopping around trying to not get killed.

For some reason I wasn't killed. The tank died a couple times, but pulled through. We ended up winning the TF as well.
