Tank solo iTF +4/x8?
Aww thats a pity, would be interesting to hear from someone who tried anyone got som numbers om how much +4 av regens? All i can find on wiki is 2000% :s
I just did a rikti pylon to actually see how long it would take... 22mins which should be 157 dps or so, thats without incarnate stuff and insps...
Any numbers anyone?
A couple of things:
First, I thought someone had done an ITF solo a while back (over a year or so ago and I don't think it was at 8+4), iirc, they used a SD/DM ...
Second, there was also a couple of threads a while back on pylons, I think Sylph Knight had one "recently", but there was another further back, and I think SD/DM or SD/Fire were the choices discussed if not used.

with longbow lore pets you *shouldnt* have a problem with the AVs since they can debuff regen really well although the rommy fight at the end will prolly be very difficult
Okay with pet i can see its possible, but no way my sd/ss will make it without... Such a pity
Aight thanks for saving me dozens of hours

Top-end brute builds solo stuff like this with ease, for example:

The AVs in the ITF are not so much a problem as the final boss fight itself, where one of the Nictus AVs is a dedicated healer. Even with -Regen, you are looking at a serious survivability threshold to overcome. I doubt that it's impossible for a Tanker to solo the entire thing with every available tool put on the table, but at +4/x8 - it's just not very feasible even with temporary powers. When more Incarnate abilities come out, we may get a tool that helps in this regard, but for the time being there are few options.
I might just have to take a whack at this challenge myself, but I won't deny that temporary powers, inspirations, and the whole nine yards would be involved with that last fight.

Now soloing: GM-Class enemy Adamaster, with a Tanker!
Linea Alba did a 4x8 solo on a crab, so I'm sure a high-damage tanker build could do it as well with Incarnate powers.

Yeah but if you read the thread, that ITF was not done +4x8. And when he tried it...wasn't pretty.

I never said that the thread posted was about the crab. That one was about brute builds, because they're probably closer to a tanker's runs. And a solo master run is impressive in lots of ways. Hell, I think Iggy did a solo MoITF with no temps and no inspirations, YEARS ago.
Here is the thread where the crab solo'ed the itf at 4x8:

Looks pretty attractive to me! No, not a master run, but that's what Tanks are for.
Pretty sure you'd have to use pets to pop Rommy.... Depending on your build, might have to kill the healer or the dps'r first, too.
But it's very doable, I'd say.
Searched the forum and didnt seem to show any threads about it... Is that because its just old news?
So is it possibl without pets :P i didnt want to try it if the dmg wont be enough?
Took me forever to get at pylon to 75% and i bet it has less regen and dmg resist than a +4 av
