Master of Lamda *Done*

re: Interface, I've just thought, having the team stacked with Interface wouldn't make a big difference anyway because it has a stacking limit which you'll easily hit with only a few people. Even if everyone had the DoT one it'd be nice but still not a huge amount of extra damage.

This badge took more than a few attempts, and you'll know very quickly whether or not you're going to be successful. You don't get a chance to catch up if your dps lags or the damage dips because it's a slow crawl on the health bar for him. Keep hitting him hard all of the time or you won't do it.

Would love to join in on one of these Master Runs

We just did this again last night, got Synchronized at the same time as well as dropped Marauder with over 9 minutes left on the clock. Good times.

That was definitely an epic beatdown Great focus and teamwork, guys.

No way, the MVP was my tier 1 Seer pet.

Hope to get an opportunity to do a Master run sometime !!

It looks like you can keep Marauder from using Nova Fist by just flying above him out of reach and Taunting him. I'll pay closer attention to it the next time I join one, but so far, that's been the result.

He's got Hurl, though. Does his version not have -fly? I mean, if you're softcapped he might very well not hit you with it, just saying.

Nova Fist is still limited by the one-shot code; if your support is doing it's job (i.e. keeping the green bars up) when the notice goes off in everyone's screen, even if people don't get out of the way in time, one leaguemate popping Destiny Rebirth immediately after will clear the problem up. Pretty much neuters how devastating Nova Fist can be can be.

Yeah, that works really well also with people spamming AoE heals like TG/Transfusion. It works fine, but I'd not recommend it for pugs :3

It would also help if more people would keep up with Marauder when he runs. <.<

Tried to do a master run but I guess we didn't have enough damage T_T

No longer possible to do it in one go either. You now need to go three times.

Bleh.

This is going to be one of those badges where after a year the Devs realise that besides the 100 or so players who got it early while it was bugged, no one is bothering, then they'll change the requirements.

Antacid is the worst, IMO. The requirements for that badge should simply be that you do not use any acids during the battle. The idea that you need to collect all acid, zero grenades, then still win while not using any of the acids, seems plain ridiculous. I would rather the Master Badge be for zero deaths than for antacid plus the other two on three separate runs, since zero deaths would actually be *easier*.

The way it currently (maybe?) works, or apparently should work, is dumb. I think it should be for the following:

Badge for getting all grenades, Synchronized badge, Badge for getting all acids, badge for not using any temps on Marauder. As in, entirely doable in one run, but still challenging.

Edit: I mean, I don't really care since I'm not a badger, I just think its a dumb system.

According to the GM that spoke with me, it has to be done in 3 runs (it's stupid I know)

a)Taking all grenades and no acids at all and beating Marauder without the grenades.
b)Taking all acids and no grenades at all and beating Marauder without the acids.
b)Taking both grenades and acids and using neither to beat Marauder.
