Friday morning, well eaned day off, and after a very fun run of ITF, i got a desire to atempt a solo run in it.

I chose my SS/elec brute (lvl shifted), not my most optimal toon for this (luck of DDR against roman defence debuffs), but i really wanted to do it with this. I jumped in AE, i found an arc with Rommy and Req, and practiced a bit, and i decided i will give it a go without any preparations.. I asked some globals to fill for me (thx guys ), and i started it. The only temp i had with me was the great Envenomed Dagger

The first two missions were easy, and the 3rd went slow but steady :

1st mission :

.....and then i hit brickwall in the 4th mission. I couldn't separate Rommy from Nictuses... after some tries i got a bit tired and decided to pause the attempt and continue saturday morning a bit more prepared :

saturday morning, made cofee, changed costume, grabbed warburg nukes and shivans, refilled Envenomed Dagger and inspiration tray, got some very good advices of how to use aggro cap........but before i would enter the 4th mission again, i found this great tip in forums : "if you manage to land in Rommy's spawning point before he does, then you can separate him from Nictuses"... i liked this tip a lot so i decided to try this 1st.... i entered mission, and with help of Phase Sift temp power i stood in Rommy's spawning point before him.... and it worked..... i pulled him away from Nictuses, and after that was a slow but steady fight till Rommy's final falldown..... warburg nukes were not nesecary, but fasten things a bit....... Shivans was a great help for added damage

I know that other players managed the same without lvl shift and without temps (and i respect them)... but this is my greatest personal achievement in game, and i just wanted to share it

I got only 1 shard from all this, but two purple recipes (confuse and hold) and a LOTTA FUN

Lastly, i believe that personal tells and chat in private chanells are supposed to remain private, so that's why i blackened them ( i left only Defiants Events, wich is a public channell)
