Help with Well of Furies

Recently came back into the game so I'm trying to get my lvl 50 into the Incarnate trials and what not, but first have to beat the intro arc to the Incarnate system.

My first question is can you even solo the final mission "Find the Well of Furies" on anything other than a tank or scrapper? I breeze through the mission but cannot solo the final boss to save my life. Tried fighting him straight up, he two shots me every time before I can even heal. Went in with a full tray of reds and purples, had enough to pop 3 rounds of 4 purples and got him down to about 1/10th hp and then the minute my final round of purples went down he one shot kills me. Have died about 8-9 times trying to solo this final Elite Boss. It seems like he is immune to just about everything, even cosmic burst fully slotted to stun, it never works on him. I also find it retarded that my nuke slotted for damage along with 4 red inspiration hits him for 214 damage and then he turns around and wacks off 3/4 of my hp with one axe hit.

Trying this on my emp/rad defender, who is my only 50. It sucks because with Empathy you can't use but 3 of your powers on yourself so you are gimped from the get go, but this final boss is just leaving me scratching my head. I have never had a problem soloing most content in the game. Wondering if anyone who has solo'd this on a defender could offer some tips. Honestly I would grab help/team for the boss, but Infinity seems like it is deader now than it was 2-3 years ago when I left the first time.

The Minotaur??? I always have a problem with the Honoree and Captain Holtz. The minotaur has always been easier for me. On anyone that can't go toe-to-toe with him, I kite him. The room he's in is wide enough that you can circle the perimeter with him following you and he'll only rarely actually manage to get a swing at you. Stick to short animation ranged attacks.

Yeah.... never tried this on an emp. I soloed Nosferatu on my emp and swore I'd never solo another EB. It's just too annoying and time-consuming.

There's more places to go and things to do. You need to ask on global channels and you'll have tons of people volunteering to help.

I would recommend:
Inf Badge Seeker
Infinity Incarnates
Infinity Badges 2.0
Infinity TFs
AE Anonymous

These are all active channels with 'serious' players. If I'm starting a task force, I'll broadcast on any or all of them to assemble a team. Also, you can specifically look for me. I'll help if I'm on. My globals are:
@Ironblade One
@Ironblade Too

It was the minotaur boss.

Finally got it last night, one of my friends was actually on and brought her tank so he went down in about 30 seconds. I guess I honestly had just forgotten how hard it is to solo tough content on an Emp, since you are sort of gimped and can only use 3 of your primary powers on yourself.

Will check out those channels, I'm just missing the days when Infinity was thriving, both in game and the forums, just kind of sad to see my global list staying dark anytime I am on the game. Now that I have the incarnate stuff unlocked, will probably try to jump in on some of these trials and task forces.

It is still thriving.

Well, you've been gone for how long?

Well I checked back last year and there were still a lot of my old friends here, but this forum is hardly thriving, lol.

Infinity also looks to be one of the lowest populated servers, at least the times I am on, I'm lucky if there are 2-3 people in any of the zones I am in. Thankfully a couple friends have chosen this time to return to the game so we can get our own little team going at night, but I will hopefully be able to start joining some of the events that are posted up here.

Oh. I wasn't even thinking about the forums.

Actually, it's one of the more active. It's usually in the 3rd or 4th position out of..... 14? Checking how many people are in a zone really tells you nothing - unless you're in the Rikti War Zone. That's where all the incarnate stuff launches from on this server.

I empathize with your emp. My emp's secondary offensive powers are well-slotted with IOs, but some days she's lucky if she can kill a minion in 30 seconds.

Many players on Infinity have a wide variety of toons, so advertising on the channels is better than broadcasting in-zone. Someone might want to team with you, but on a different toon. The channel post will reach out globally.

Also, you can look for "all" in the team search box and send a private tell to anyone around your level, or anyone in a team with room. Most players will at least respond, even if they aren't available to team at that time.

Don't know what times of day you're playing, but evenings and nights EST to PST are pretty busy on Infinity. Look for the Sunday night mothership raids, evening incarnate trials in Rikti War Zone and lots of task forces (posted in the chat channels).

See you online!
