Cimerorans it is (for me), then.

Regarding Destiny, I'm leaning toward Barrier Radial, although I'm beginning to think it's a good idea for one or two people to use Clarion as defense against Tyrant's knockback and stuns. (Granted, we'll have several Barriers and Support hybrids stacking +def, so they'd have to hit, but just in case...) That said, I'm willing and able to craft a new Destiny, so, again, just let me know.

Well, my badger is on Liberty, and my 50 +3's on Champion are t-3 -- not quite grown enough for me to step up. (That darn rng! Always commons, never the very rares!)

I'll be rooting for all of you - and if you're short a kin or a rad or just about anything other than an ice/ice blaster, give me a shout, and I can transfer it over in about 30 seconds. Somehow, I'm pretty sure that won't be necessary.

@amygdala has done her homework, those of you that have signed up are prepared - I see no reason why you won't come through it victorious.

I've also changed a few of the requirements based on some screen shots of Tyrant's stats I got a hold of last night that were taken by an SG mate using Surveillance. It appears that -Regen debuffs have no affect on him, not even a little bit. They show up under his Regeneration, but his Regeneration Rate always equals Base + Favor of the Well Bonus - Scaling. This was the case for 8 screen shots taken at different points during the final fight. His Regeneration Rate before he reaches 50% and below (when Favor of the Well kicks in) is simply Base - Scaling.

Here is an example of two screen shots taken at different HP points, one at 83% (before Favor of the Well is active) and one at 21% (when Favor of the Well is active).



At 83% HP:
Base Regen - Scaling = Regeneration Rate
466.88HP/sec - 365.39HP/sec = 101.49HP/sec

At 21% HP:
Base Regen + Favor of the Well - Scaling = Regeneration Rate
465.05HP/sec + 926.12HP/sec - 363.95HP/sec = 1027.22HP/sec

With that in mind, there's no real reason to use Longbow pets over any other pets. If you've already crafted them, hang onto them. If you are choosing between Longbow and pets with higher DPS, go with the higher DPS pets. A chart of Lore Pets DPS can be found here.
With all the -res flying about as thats all we have would it be worthwhile using something like....seers? Since Tyrant doesnt like Psi and the 2 Top DPS are mostly S/L which he resists at least 50%?

I had considered selecting Lore pets with damage types that he is less resistant to, but at this point I'm OK with trying it with the mix we have now. If we fail it may be an area to look into for improvement.

There are also the empowerment station buffs - your SG has to have the station to make them (you can't use a coalition or base you're visiting) - but a 20% recharge rate buff for 60 minutes isn't bad.

I don't know that the resistance buffs are significant enough to matter for squishies, but they may be worth looking at as well...

I will not be able to make this attempt; I have some health stuff going on. I apologize for having to back out this late. I wish you all luck! I know you all will own this!

Another wacky, random thought. The defender inherent boosts damage based on team size - is it worth sticking the defenders on teams by themselves to get the boost, or are there team-wide (as opposed to league-wide) buffs that would make this counterproductive?

Definitely a creative idea, but overall I don't think will be necessary for various reasons, including the limitation of some buffs to team only instead of league wide.

I still have a couple ideas for this that I haven't posted yet that I'll probably test during our warm up run.

Couldn't manage to scrounge up that last VR to get T4 Reactive Interface, but might be able to try a little more tomorrow during the day.

I did toss together a T3 Assault, though, so Rularuu T4 is my only "non-optimal" slotting here. Hopefully that'll work out okay.

Don't sweat the Lore recommendation too much. The ones I listed were based on what I had read about the trial and successful RHW runs up to that point. However, as more information comes out this is likely an area that I may tweak. So don't worry too much about trying to craft the "right ones" as they may not end up being what works best.

One thing we might need more of with this league is debuffers. If anyone who is signed up is just coming for the badge, doesn't have a "badge toon" and would be willing to switch to one, let me know.

Sorry, my Brute is the only character I have that is able to run Magisterium. I am working up a 50 Thugs/Dark Mastermind to give more debuff options in future Trials, also a Rad/Kin corrupter but he's not even 50 yet.

That wasn't directed at you specifically. Sorry if I was unclear.
