Because the Penny Yin TF is new and because it is the weekly strike target, I have run this TF a number of times with SG-mates and PuGs. I don't want to give too much away but as in Sister Psyche, this TF features Freakshow and some Council. There is also a climactic ending to the TF, which is not very long at all but yet challenging. (I am looking at you Reichy-britches!)
The first run through was with the Triumphant Defenders and Allies coalition. Blaster, Controllers, Defenders, and a Corruptor. If I recall we had but one casualty. It was an utter romp. I did one pick up TF that was challenged with a number of defeats in the final mission, but we made it without starting the hospital to mission merry-go-round so prevalent with Praetorian content. Again on Sunday, we had coalition folks primarily and some great new friends on exalted. This was a little more hairy, but one character dumped about 3 Warburg nukes and a Shivan and we pulled through without the exodus to the hospital, too many times.
This got me thinking: a) I have a character in the high level 40s that could use the double xp push to 50 and b) This is classic task force with an amazing spawn count featuring endurance drain to the mix to really bottom out toggles and shields. Enter, the bubbler! This TF had a good mix of support, melee, dps, and a humble Forcefield/sonic defender with a superior, attentive empath. I wouldn't say the forcefielder could support an 8 man team by himself, but neither could the empath! When in doubt, recruit both. Between defense, top off heals, endurance drain protection and recovery aura, our team was a juggernaut.
Back in the early days of the reactor respecs, my original forcefielder made level after level in the old level 24-33 respec trial, bubbling teammates and the core. Flash to 2012, and this upper end forcefielder is still a vital part to the level 20-25 content with the defense.

HelinCarnate:OMG it is so terrible. I have the option to take 3 more powers but no additional slots. Boo F'ing hoo.
