Any hints you might offer on taking down Hami? I'm on lgtf atm and on the hami mish, but was wondering if you could give me some hints on how to approach it before i just feel my way through it.

Leave the pylons up while you take down the mitos. Supposedly it limits aggro of hami
the Mitoes are tricky because one is only susceptible to melee (the first)
second to range and third must be held to kill. If you don't have enough stuff you just aren't going to get it done.
Some people swear by keeping the Rikit alive and dragging them to hami but I think that is more of a pain than its worth Your mileage may vary. I think you need to take down the pylons before hami.
That is all I know. this point is where more team wipes happen in my experience.

I'd start off by clearing out the rikti and save the pylons till the mitos are down. It's best to down the mitos the order of yellow, blue then green. The yellows are only injured by melee so pop an EoE and some reds and if you have earths embrace/rebirth destiny(extra hp and regen will help lots) and take out one mito. After each I ran off to shake off those nasty debuffs and repeated oh and have some breakfrees for the blues stuns. After yellows the blues are only affected by ranged so pick one and stand way back and pick it off.|

Green mitos are a pain since they have to be held first to even be damaged and I think you need to apply a hold 3 times to get one locked down. After one is locked down you can hurt it but you have to bring the pain quick because they heal quick. After they're done dogpile on hami once you down the pylons but watch it his attacks hurt

Ended up doing exactly what you guys suggested: Cleared Rikti, left pylons, took out yellows first (brawl and sands of mu ftw, yo) Ended up taking out the greens and blues in pairs, just worked out that way, no real strategy involved. Essentially ate one EoE per mito then cleared the debuffs and went back to it. Hami took a couple, maybe 3 EoE.
Thanks fer the assist!

Honoree was difficult, if I'd brought a shivan, prolly no sweat, but I didn't so it took two cycles of lore pets, lmao so like a 20 min fight.
But yay!

9 hours+ on an ITF. Hard core. I love people that do stuff like this. I am much more pedestrian, but also have my windmills I tilt at in the game.
Enjoy, and good luck!

Just finished Sutter:

One of the hardest tf's yet, for me. I ended up pulling the non-porting duray to an old fashioned dumpster pwn, was able to keep the pets and shivans focussed on him for the most part because the other duray kept porting away. He took a couple shivans with him and pwnt them on their own, so I ended up going through a full set of five shivans before I got them both dead. But it definitely kept me on my toes for the whole fight. Felt good to get this one behind me, fer shur.

Leaving the pylons up keeps Hami's aggro radius down to near melee-range. I don't think the # of pylons matter; leaving one up accomplishes much the same as all six. However, IMO it's faster to clean up the Rikti and the mitos, then the pylons, then the Hami nucleus. How those tactics apply to Bonk's solo project, YMMV.
If you're interested in the proof, let me know and I'll dig it up. I'm fairly sure I posted it on the forums here.

I did exactly as you suggest, in fact. Worked out quite well. I pulled some rikti into hami but made sure I cleared them all first, left pylons up, cleared all yellows, then the blues/greens, cleared pylons then took out hami.|

Just finished Faathim TF. Hardest part was simply the logistics. You never get the cell number for the guy, so you have to travel back to the center of the chantry after nearly every mish, got a bit tedious. Then, making sure I had two other people on standby that could sign on and help me click glowies when needed (I use my alt account to click a glowie as well). Just had to wait till two of the folks that stayed on the tf to help were on at once, I'd knock the mish out fast, they'd help me click glowies while they were avail then I would just wait till it was convenient to continue. Ended up taking a few days, but nothing was very difficult, inlcuding the av.

Edit 1: Had only one shivan left so decided to go fill up, and decided to try to take out a PI monster with it instead of wasting it:
http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u...dedlattice.jpg
Edit 2: Started a Katie, to see if the stuff I learned could help me beat Mary#10, where I gave up last time.
http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u...atietfded4.jpg
This is how I have my screens set up atm. My alt account is on the right screen, dead, as a map holder for when I need to hosp, get temps/insp, etc. Left screen is just to browse the wiki, keep pandora going/watch movies etc.
Essentially what I did after Mary#4 was to release pets, hide at that corner, soak the ambush and let em pre-herd themself, hosp, come back, confuse down to just Mary, call pets, pwn, rinse, repeat. Intend to go through at least a full batch of shivans from here on out, at the very least. I'm prepared to restock shivans and even go get warburg nukes for any that give me problems up to and including Mary#10. We shall see!
Edit 3: Mary#9 pwnt me after going through the rest of my shivans. Ran fer Nukes and fresh Shivans, was over fast. Getting Nukes and Shivans again fer Mary#10.
Edit 4: Mary#10 put up a much better fight, but 3 shivans and 3 nukes later: http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u.../dedmary10.jpg Can't tell ya how glad I am to have this one behind me. ONe of the ones I truly doubted I would finish at all, even with all the temps. Whew!
Updated my sig to make it easier for me to keep track of what I have left. Moved the remaining vill respecs off the table, because beating the first one with fewer powers makes it acedemic to blast through the other two with more powers avail. Perhaps if I complete everything else I'll do em just for completeness, but probably not. Also moved Karsis, because its more a logistics thing than anything else. I've *solo'd* it many times with different toons and just friends and alt accounts to click glowies. The zone hami and the incarnate trials are also off the table for now, just for logisitics and %probabilty of success lmao. Again, if I get everything else done, perhaps I'll move on to attempt these (even with my very low expectations of actual success, after all, i didn't think I could do 90% of the stuff I've already done), but we shall see how long till I'm bored with this project or just can't figure out how else to proceed.

Worked my way through a Justin Augustine TF today in fairly short order. Cleared the Circle in the chantry, then there was just that big ice cube in the center. Is that all? So I beat the ice up and he was free and buffable and mish complete. I shoulda freed him first and let him whoop everythings butt lmao.
Oh well, scratch one more off the list!

Started a Kahn fer my third run at it. Took no chances and brought a full tray of shivans and nukes and env daggers.
You have defeated Countess Crey
You have defeated Gyrfalcon
You have defeated Vanessa DeVore
Reichsman has defeated Gremlin

Round two! Just him and nemmie left, and I restocked on shivans and nukes and even crafted a back up radio and fresh daggers. He killerated me again. *sigh*
I left my alt account logged in dead at the final room, with just nemmy and reichs left, but my windows decided to update while I was sleeping :/
Starting over:
[Amy's Ward][Gremlins][Power:Cimeroran Radial Superior Ally][Backup Radio][Shivan Shard][Vanguard HVAS][Ice Shield][Glacial Shield][Biological Mutagens] [Cold Domination.Sleet][Ice Mastery.Ice Storm][Static Field][Temporary Powers.Nuclear Blast][Temporary Powers.Chemical Burn]
Got him down to about 30% again, Countess and Nemmy joined in, but I was fighting in the center of the room, so countess kept pwning me from afar, though Nemmy did rush in and succumb to aoes; nice of him! Shoulda corner pulled Reichs. Prolly woulda had him. Oh well, pulled Countess to the hall, parked alt account again and headed to refill temps.
Disaster: I accidently quit the TF with my alt account while moving it around and it kicked my main. I was down to one more dimensional grounding ray, anyhoo, thanks to trying different things besides the max temp power method. Oh well. Guess I'll try again another day.

Nice
On a side note:
I pulled back out my Elec/Cold and figured I'd work on some stuff this past weekend. I dropped paladin and thought man I need to respec back into my /mace build for better dps. So I did incarnate trials and got the agility alpha and figured while I was in RWZ I'd try a solo MoLGTF. I went slow and steady and ended up dying on the hami mish due to running out of EoE's and hami getting two good hits in before I could get to some cover. I finished it off but I WILL try it again and this time with a full 20 EoE's instead of the 14 I brought. Dang hami got me RIGHT before I could kill him.
