Really Hard Way get!

Don't mind the sour grapes, kis. Your lovely inmates know what happened and stand by you as always. :3

Stupid shiny badge, it's so bright...

Back to a positive note, we now know what it takes and can recreate it, it involved sacrifice for some who alted from badgers to make it work so that means we now have more peeps with thier badge able to help further runs, im sure in no time everyone will be badged up right nice.

and for those who asked

Hybrids that were used tended to be Assault radial (as with the 4- kins we were dmg capped)
Lore was Longbow for the warden regen debuff and drones where poss, thou some random lores were in the mix.
Destiny was as stated a mix of rebirth and ageless with few barriers in for the guys in close.

Kins and darks with thier -regen heals were a massive help and then just as much dmg and debuff as we could muster, and ofc only one tank.

Guys please.

It looks like there's already been moderator activity in this thread.

Keep it civil, OK?

It was posted (in a hurry, as you can tell by the currently ugly, quick and dirty screenshot I posted) as a Congratulations to the League that managed it, and as an 'It can be done' encouragement to players on other servers still trying for it.

Congratulations all round to the league that succeeded, and I'm now off to re-edit the screenshot in an attempt to make it less huge <grin>

Congratulations! Very impressive.

Awesome job!

the run couldnt of gone any sweeter tbh, was a epic job by everyone great weekend of Magi runs!

Congratulations to all who got it. It was AWESOME to hear.
A pity I missed that run... and more the attempt after that. (The latter due to connection)
But, better luck for me next time (I hope)

Congratulations for that epic run,do you think you can post how you did it to give everyone an idea of team makeup and powers for it Thanks and again congratulations.

I was considering putting a guide together, but after last night I think that the only person really qualified to do that is @Kisana, an amazing job of keeping the league on target!

Indeed, great teamwork and leadership on this one! Should you need me for more runs, feel free to give me a call, I'll help out if I have the time.
Now to hybrid-ize all of my other incarnates *sigh*

For kins in this trial I'd like to offer the following suggestion:

Since people mostly stay in melee with Cole, it always pays to target Speed Boost directly at him which keeps most of the league SBed even in all of the ensuing chaos. Not only does SB reduce the recharge of all the important debuff and also buff powers, it also helps a TON in getting away once Cole is about to unleash his big lightning attack. SBed people will be hit not only a lot less in lightning columns (especially when that nasty movement suppression after attacks strikes!) but also the columns will be spread out much further allowing people to get back at Cole that much more quickly which is absolutely vital in this trial.
The most important thing to hit as often as possible is of course transfusion to stack that nasty -50% regen on Cole. SB, Siphon Power, Fulcrum Shift (and Siphon Speed to speed up your own powers) are a distant second.

Also, Skye: At least you are GETTING any stars *sniff*!

Do the impossible, see the invisible
ROW ROW, FIGHT DA POWAH
Touch the untouchable, break the unbreakable
ROW ROW, FIGHT DA POWAH

Heh that's pretty much my rating system too Canine

That's exactly my view too. Also, ID gives good resistance to his "punching the ground" attack which can kill squishies pretty quickly.

Gratz!

Well done.

Well done!

Congratz. Im looking forward to getting that badge and the others.

Just wanna thank everyone on Union for the awesome Magesterium runs, and not just the run that got us the Really Hard Way Badge last night but every run since Thursday

A VERY special thanks to everyone who alted from their Main Badgers to help us, it really was appreciated and you KNOW I wont stop until you all get the badges on the toons you want them on.

Took us a few runs to figure out what exactly was happening and how we could best work together as a league and do the job

I'm not a number cruncher, I have no idea of Tyrants Regen rate or hit points, I dont know or care about statistics for his powers, for me there were only three important elements for this trial when I put the league together on Saturday night for the first Really Hard Way attempts.

I wanted as many -regen powers available as possible
I wanted as much damage and ST damage as possible
I wanted people who could follow instructions and stay at their keyboards for 20 minutes

My advice to anyone trying for this badge would be this:

Run a few Lambdas
Ask Team 1 to head to the Warehouse and Team 2 to the Labs
Ask people to use acids on only 2 doors
Ask people to Back away from Marauder when they see the warning for his Nova Fist

After 2 or 3 runs you should hopefully have 24 people who can follow instructions and stay alive, and who hopefully have enough damage and debuffs to work as a league for the badge.

You can be maxed out on damage and debuffs but if the league doesnt move when they see that warning then whats the point?

The Magesterium trial for me was a fight between Tyrants Regeneration V Our DPS and Debuffs and dead people don't do damage
