Magisterium: The Really Hard Way - Sunday, September 2

I've got things sorted out so I can do this again this week. We'll be focusing on The Really Hard Way. We should also get Shadow Master and The Hard Way (even if The Really Hard Way doesn't work out); Ready to Rumble is certainly possible, but I won't be actively trying for it on either of the first two runs. The first run won't use Ultimates, so we can practice dodging lightning, then we'll go for the badge on the second try. Time and interest permitting, I could do a third run to try to get either Triple Threat or Ready to Rumble.

I'm making a few changes to strategy from last time, basically focused on getting it done before fatigue starts to set in.

If you'd like me to save you a spot, post below or let me know in-game.

Requirements

• +3 level shift.
• Hybrid unlocked and slotted.
• Completed the Magisterium trial.
• At least 6 Ultimates. There may be some available at the event, but please try to bring your own. You can get them from:
  • Astral Christy in Ouroboros for 2 Astral Merits each.
  • Wentworth's. I haven't checked prices lately but last time I did they were running between 7 and 10 million.

• If your badge character needs it, by all means, bring them.
• General Incarnate suggestions:
  • Judgement: Try to avoid Vorpal (he resists smashing).
  • Interface: One with a damage proc. Reactive and Degenerative have nice other effects, but don't overdo them as they can only stack a few times.
  • Lore: High single-target DPS (List at ParagonWiki for comparison) and/or exotic damage. Note that Cimerorans are getting brought into line (i.e., nerfed) in i24, so be careful if you choose to make them.
  • Destiny: Barrier or Rebirth.
  • Hybrid: Assault (Radial) or Support.
  • If you can't change to one of these, anything's better than nothing. Also, don't change from an ability with a level shift to one without.
• Overall, the main concern is being able to do steady damage to Tyrant. Stacking Barrier and Rebirth destinies should be enough to keep the league alive.
• The best things to bring are damage, AoE damage and tohit buffs, and defense and resistance debuffs for Tyrant.
• Corruptors are good, between the buff/debuffs and Scourge.
• Leadership powers, particularly Assault and Tactics, are useful.
• For filling the non-Ultimate slots in your tray: reds (although we'll hopefully be pushing the damage cap without them), greens, or team yellows (or red/yellows).

I should be there.

I plan to be there.

I'll be around.

Good luck to you all!!!!

I'll try and be there as well. Besides, I still need Triple Threat, so might as well just go for the whole thing

Ill be there

Just so there's no doubt: Regardless of today's announcement, I'm still planning to do this Sunday.

Any chance of a Triple Threat attempt? The ONE LAST BADGE that Zube needs for the complete set.

I got this on my home server recently but i'll transfer another character here.

Bump – little over half an hour.

Recruiting was slow this week, between the impending doom and holiday weekend. Still, it was a valiant effort.

I'm going to host again next week; I'll get a post up soonish.
