From your screenshots, it looks like you didn't use any judgement, destiny, lore, or interface powers? Is that correct? You did this with just the alpha boost?
If so, MAJOR CONGRATS!
Even if you did use the new incarnate powers, thats still something to seriously brag about. Great job!

No, he definitely had all four of the new slots (you can see Interface on his Buff bar, Judgement and Destiny are recharging on his power bar and he's got a pet window with the Lore pets on it). The other player also had at least Interface.|

But still very impressive.
Ah, i didn't see it due to the icons being different. I use Corva's icon pack, so i've never actually seen what the new powers look like at base icons

Yup, I was running tier 3 alpha, interface, lore and destiny and tier 4 judgement.|

Can't say I actually used them whenever they were available, but they were used a few times.
Only (apart from alpha ofcourse) the Interface has been a huge help throughout the whole thing since I slotted the tier 3 one that has 100% chance to do -5% tohit and Ice Storm and Blizzard do 5 ticks per second making it cap in .8 second generally.

A friend asked me what approach we used for Rommy. I said a pretty straight forward approach of running in and pushing buttons in the hope the AV's health would go down and ours wouldn't.
Then I realized I could upload a recording of that on the first run. This was the run on which we were not going for MO, but to be honest the fight against Rommy went basically the same in all 3 runs.
Since I've uploaded it now anyway, I figured I may as well post that here too:

This is awesome.
I have no more to say.
EDIT: Just watched the video, and I do have something more to say. I adore scourge. It amazes me how quickly the last 25% of his health goes down. You can see the speed pick up right at 50%, but once 25% is reached, it's like he's already dead.
Where to now?

My husband and I also duoed the ITF, we did ours a couple months ago and posted all of our screenies and such in the Justice forum. Our time was something like an hour and 30. We did it on our controllers and used no temp powers or temp pets. Was quite fun!

Aside from that it amazed me myself how quick he went down in general tbh - start to finish.|

But as you probably have noticed Sky is a fire/cold so there was some pretty good debuffing going on as well.
Let me put it this way though: when we started the first run I thought the AVs were going to be a little tedious and the rest should be easy enough.
However it turned out all AV encounters were much smoother than I had expected and the two trickiest parts - especially after we decided to go for MO - were just the Phalanx and the whole of mission 2.
The Phalanx is a bit annoying since it's largely a matter of hoping the dices don't roll entirely in your disfavor, but mission 2 was a lot of fun and pretty intense.

Well done!
Also, how do you get that little window with your defensive, recharge, etc stats?
Good job mate!
Can't say anything else besides I'm impressed!

Im impressed with the name Sky.

... or something.
This morning I was thinking "What new challenge can I come up with for today with all these shiney i20 toys that will result in having some good fun for another day?".
In the past I've done quite some soloing TFs, but it gets a bit boring and tedious at some point. The obvious answer to the question how I could make it more fun was by doing it with someone who IS fun - thus the duo run.
Next issue; if we were to see what we could do as a team against romans (yes, yes, romans are always the ideal testcase to give something a whirl you haven't done before) we would need some sort of challenge.
Killing romans is not a challenge. Killing romans on +4x8 is not a challenge either. Buff and debuff challenge options - another time maybe. Time was an option. We could see how quick we could do it.
The idea was born.
We went for it and the result was 50 minutes and 1 second of running right across romans like madmen.
We did this on +0x8 as to still have regular size spawns.
Video of the fight against Rommy at the end (viewing in 720p mode to make it look _somewhat_ decent recommended)
What surprised us both was how smooth the whole thing went and thus I suggested going again for MO.
The first attempt failed as I got bombarded by Phalanx robots which for obscure reasons ALL decided to roll numbers allowing them to hit me. Even with orange insps up and popping greens as it happened I died near instantly.
The final result was 58:41 and 1 death:
We decided that was bad luck and thus we would give it one more try for the day.
The result: success.
Two corrs getting MO ITF on +0x8 in JUST under an hour:
All in all it was some GREAT fun. Especially things like the whole second mission, working through the generals on mission 3 and clearing towers on mission 4 became very interesting with the knowledge we were going for MO. There were some very intense moments, but it was a fun experience and that's really all I was after.
Also, doing it with 1 person you know knows what he's doing can be a lot more fun than with many a full team.
I suspect I'll be doing more along these lines in the near future.
Edit: A while after this post the time has been brought further down...
