Likely in a few weeks i will attept to assemble a team for this badge. I want us to have a chance to get some MoM practice before i attempt this. I you are interested i advise practice fighing Penelope Mayhem and learn the fight. The requirement for the badge is to defeat pen mayhem with 4 or less voids defeated. my requirements from team members is to be +3 and original pet window(for focusing on a single target).this will probably be sometime during winter break.

There is a lil more to it than..single target attacks and pouncing.

I have failed about..5? MoMs, usually at the penny fight. It seems to help to do a rough explanation of what is needed BEFORE going into the room (obvious I know, but people are generally stupid) or everyone gets in, sees bad guys, starts attacks and taking damage..and it soon becomes chaos.

Most runs I have done, assign tanks/brutes to taunt the voids over, while the team huddles at penny. Pet peeve here..idiotic tanks without taunt..who argue flat out they can NOT taunt things...when they have taunt auras and Gauntlet. Fools. Anyway, this can work fairly well.

However, for the Perfect Storm badge, I would suggest the tactic I convinced my team to try just now. That of huddling up inside the small room (where you zone into), while one taunter pulls Penny back just inside the doorway, facing away from the league. Then, that taunter or others, can go out into the main room, taunt, run back in breaking LOS (I am seriously gobsmacked how many melees flat out swear they can taunt stuff better standing in the middle of a room) and killing voids as needed.

To quote our league..Doorway pulls all the way.

The voids are on a path, taunting generally doesn't bring the voids over, move her to their path and they will gravitate to you.

We got Perfect storm tonight. Didn't use any lore pets. (We did 2 runs of MoM, and I think we got it on both runs)


We also pulled off Master of TPN in a single run.


Everyone was really on the ball.

Of all the MoM runs I've been on, Taunting definitely affects the Storm Voids.

I can't commit to weekends (hence the reason I don't have any of the Keyes badges)

Sorry

On most runs taunting them over seemed to work pretty well. There was one run where they would not come over despite being continuously taunted. I'm pretty sure that had to do with someone having Force Bubble up.

In terms of pulling the AV into their path, interesting idea. But like others have said, a lot of the time we just fought her at her spawn point. So unless her spawn point already overlaps with the path, I don't think doing that is necessary. It would be a good strategy if no one on the league has Taunt and is worth investigating for that reason.

I'll have to run it a few more times.

Have done both pull methods. Pulling Penny to the door and taunting Voids thru it to intersect with her made a frustrating taunt exercise into cinnamon flavored win sauce. We did notice that the voids were wigging out like they were Feared from something but we couldn't pin down where from. YMMV.

Grats! Sounds like they took the Underground approach ("A good league has a good chance") to designing badges for MoM (except Dreamwalker, which is "Do it enough and you'll get it eventually") and TPN, which I'm glad to see.

If no one else beats me to it and depending how I'm feeling after Keyesing, I may try to organize MoM/TPN badge runs tonight. (And if I don't, I'm sure someone else will.)

I was going to say, it seems like the more people do MoM and get comfortable/more efficient with the second phase battle, the more "accidental" Perfect Storm badges are going to happen without giving it too much thought. Just a hunch.
