LAMDA bites

Eh, my ice/ice blaster has no issues in Lambda. Died once, due to my thinking that I could nuke a group solo...learned pretty quickly that I couldn't.

Of course, I ran a ton of BAFs before I ran Lambda, and I used some of my threads from there to unlock and slot both my Lore and Destiny slots. This way, I was already 50+3 when I ran my Lambda. Is it slower to unlock the Interface and Destiny slots this way? Yes, but still effective.

It's not just team content, it's oversized team content. If you end up drawing focused fire from stuff that's meant to harm an oversized team, you're going to eat dirt. A lot. Many of us, including me, are spoiled by being able to do just that sort of thing - take on foes that are scaled in number and level enough to be a challenge for a mid-to-full-sized team. If you do that in the iTrials, it's likely to hurt, a lot, by design.

There are things I don't like about the iTrials. If you're low HP, there's not a lot you can do about things like Siege's repeated AoEs, several of which are enough to make low-HP characters reliant on the one-shot code to survive. I'm not a fan of how frequent that sort of thing is these days. I really haven't had a problem with Lambda, though. Yeah, I die more until I get my level shifts. I try to do what's smart, be aware of the limitations of the foe AI, and stay with my teammates as much as I can. I've been fine. Maybe it's because I face things sort of this dangerous on a pretty regular basis by choice. I have a good idea where my characters' knife edge survival boundaries are.

I have played Lambda ONLY on squishies. Granted, both were level shifted, so that may be part of it, but neither had a problem. In fact, it was the one not IO'd that had it easier, since he has invisibility, which made the whole container search part a cinch. Seriously, I wasn't spotted even once, and I was able to call for assist with the containers and drop into stealth once a few people arrived. I didn't die until the Marauder battle and even then only once.

/still waiting on the warehouse map fix to alleviate lag leading to running into boxes, shelves and everything else cluttering the hallways

I run both trials with my Ice/Kin Corr... how he is +3 but he still dies from time to time. I die casting... Standing still (usually next to a blaster...hmmm I wonder if he is targeting thru me just for fun), running and fighting. As a squishie it is the nature of the game.

Now my Corr is fully IO'd out but only one power (Blizzard) has a purple set and I very rarely cast in in am Lamda.

I usually have no troubles getting either of the glowie stuff i just follow a Tank/Brute or Scrapper and target thur them and guess what? I am usually left alone.

It can be difficult but that is the fun of it, however if your with a good team you can breeze thru it with only a few deaths

Lambda.

I lol at the OP, i find lambda to be crazy easy. Even on a "squishy"

Odd, I tend to find the Λ trial only annoying underground, but I always get seperated

LambAda the Forbidden Trial!
All of my characters that i currently use in iTrials are somewhat squishy. Yeah, a couple of them have positional defenses over 50%, but overall none of them have resistances worth mentioning. Well, my PB has decent resistances in Dwarf form, but i rarely use it.

All of them rarely die much unless team wipes are ongoing.
Even my Controllers.

i suspect the OP just needs to learn a bit of (about?) control. Or maybe they've become accustomed to fighting a very narrow range of enemies and need to unlearn habits and relearn flexibility. Or maybe they're playing with a bunch of jerks who deliberately dump aggro onto them. It definitely seems like there's a PEBKAC issue at work here, the only real question is whether it's the OP or his teammates/"friends".

My Arch/Ice Blaster has been doing nothing but Lambda for the past few days. Does she die? Sure occasionally but not every few seconds and she puts out a ton of damage before anything takes her down. Is Lambda Pointless? Hmmmm well In the past 2 days she has managed to obtain 4 rare components and 3 very rares along with some uncommons and is now at 50 (+3).

The big things to remember is just what some others have mentioned ..

Do not attack things solo and let someone with a LOT more defense take the Alpha strike.

If you have Destiny at any tier use it and cuddle up to anyone else that can pop one to gain even more defense.

INSPIRATIONS of any size are your friend.. I have left the trial with practically nothing left in my trays and that's after resupplying in the hospital.

Don't waste threads, components, ect on Judgement or Interface until after you have Destiny and Lore to Tier 3. Yeah I know judgement is awesome and gets even better as you get higher but it doesn't give you a level shift. Now that I have both of those shifts Bosses con red and nothing is one shotting me anymore and things are dying in front of me a whole lot faster.... Judgement is at tier 2 now and I am working on 3. Then I will start moving Interface upward. As mentioned things do get easier, and more fun, when your level shifts kick in. I look at it as revenge for the beating I took previously and now when an MK Vickie rushes toward me I freeze her in place and proceed to destroy her. {at 50 +1 this same thing would have resulted in almost certain death if I hadn't perfected the art of shoot and run earning my Master of Apex TF badge}.

I had no trouble on my ss/fa brute today even after I got separated. He just made 50 and only has standard io's, I did get help with +rech from AM and with fast heals I didn't die once (Marauder took me close ). However on baf I was next to useless.

Huh. You want to quit dying. You cast powers and die. You want a way to be less squishy and more resilient and want the devs to tell you how to do so.

First. Chances are, you're running into the mobs. Stop that. Now.

Second. If you AREN'T doing that, then you're probably attacking mobs the tank has not yet aggro'd/running in before tank. Yeah, stop that.

Third. Stick together. Stay with the team at all times (not too close as pointed out first).

Forth. It does get easier.

Fifth. None of this doing it for you? Make a tank.
