Now what about an AE arc full of Giant Monsters and AV's? Are there any repeatable AV's or GM's in the game that are repeatable? Answer still no? |

1st time we were unable to spawn the GM due to us not understanding that only one bomb can be clicked per team. Second time we dropped team when we jumped up to the ship and had no issues.

As it happens I've just been discussing having a crack at this one with a friend the past week, but I assumed we'd need to load some alts just for the bomb phase.
Are the bombs the only requirement to trigger the spawn or is there a kill threshold as well?

Considering just the t4 Victoria bot can solo AVs by herself (not counting the lieutenant, not counting that Cims do more damage than that), that's not saying much.

People blow the difficulty of this raid WAY out of proportion.

Yeah, once you've dropped the shield it's pretty standard fare. At the time we did it, the tricky bit was downing all the Pylons in time by ourselves. |

I imagine it'd be very straightforward nowadays.

Well, there's the whole "staying alive while hordes of Rikti swarm you" thing too... not all characters that can survive against a single GM / AV can handle aggro-capped hordes or multiple Magi spamming huge AoE stuns on you. Unless your Ill/Cold has mez protection and the ability to survive personal aggro (there are more Rikti than the PA can distract) it's going to be a problem, and I don't think it's possible to softcap and have perma-PA.

Man, now I gotta go sell a 30 year supply of spam and bottled water. What am I supposed to do with the bomb shelter.

I had imagined it harder, but I had a go last night and took remarkably little effort.
We used a beam/rad corr and a bane spider. Logs show it's 39:21 from the first attack on the first pylon until U'Kon Gr'ai fell, which is I guess isn't horrible for a first run where we only had a rough idea what to do to get there at all.
It was hardly interesting enough to try again, so we're on to the next thing I guess.

I've seen a description of a "two bomb" raid where after a period of time you can set another one and get Ukon to spawn twice. But I don't know the mechanics.

I've tried to test this a few times by wrecking all the other grates after we've been there a while, then checking a bomb until it's time to set again, but I've never gotten other people to cooperate before we get teleported out.

Reroll Bot/traps and solo everything in the game. As you soon as you get your T3-4 lore you can prob solo half the av/gms in the game on any gimp build.
