Very busy night on Excel for Tanker Tuesday with 5 full teams running. Many thanks to @MsAligned and @Agoogala for leading the missions teams tonight, and to @PLVRIZR & @Warboss for each leading a Citadel TF, both getting done in 53-54 minutes with PLVs team having the slight edge in the finish. And thanks to those that joined me on the Prisoners of Eden Trial, We had some massive herds for DE and took out the Crystal Titan in about an hour. Next week, August 12th, we are on Torchbearer. Meet up in Kings Row, 6:00 pm PT / 9:00 pm ET. Hess and Lady Grey will be the WST. I will be looking to run the LGTF if there is interest, If you want to join that foolish attempt, make sure to bring a tank that has a hold or two. See you all in the City

Hmmm... good point, we'll have to check with other who do that method regularly and see if there's anything they do. After talking to some more knowledgeable people, it may have been an issue with "Locking" the league prior to launch, which I did to prevent non-tanks from sneaking in. The next one we do we can try with an open league and just boot any interlopers. Sounds good, what timeline are you looking at for this one? As we discussed at SNS, let's aim for December 30th on Torchbearer for this. Should give us enough time to get the proper folk involved and plan it out. We will need at least 32 Incarnated tanks for this to work, but as always, the more the merrier. Will have to determine our Hami tanking strategy as well, I'm fuzzy on how we arranged that on previous ones. Like our prior All Tank Hamidon Raids, we should run this in the Abyss as to not conflict with the regular daily raids on the server.

We had a good run on Victory yesterday. A team of 8 tanks took on 3 Paladins in Kings Row before heading to Talos Island to assist Citadel with his Task Force needs. A couple of new level 50 tanks resulted from that and many Council were defeated. Next Tanker Tuesday will be August 5th on Excel with Citadel and Eden being the WST. Meet up in Kings Row as usual, 6:00 pm PT / 9:00 pm ET.

We can try that for the next one, could also be an issue with locking the league, which I did to restrict non-tankers for sneaking in. That being said, we should probably look at doing a all Tank Hami again soon. Looking at Torch for that, I think.

A grand old time was had on Everlasting tonight, 27 tankers joined forces to kick the Rikti off the planet in a Mothership Raid despite a crash on the initial attempt to launch the attack. Many thanks to those that came out for the event. Special thanks to Rotalas for getting the killshot on U'Kon Gr'ai and to Matteus for getting the drop on the Dropship. The next Tanker Tuesday will be this Saturday, August 2nd on Victory at 10:00 am PT / 1:00 pm ET. Meet up in Kings Row by the IP Gate and we will find some tanking to do there. August 5th, Tanker Tuesday will return to Excel - 6:00 pm PT / 9:00 pm ET. Citadel and Eden will be the WST. See you all in the City.

I'm open to suggestions from those partaking in the challenge for how to start this run. We did DFB for the start of the Stone Armor challenge on Indom and an old school sewer crawl to start the Electric Melee challenge on Ever. Could just get some regular low level contacts and run their missions. The newer Shauna Stockwell-> Eagle Eye arcs unlock at level 7, could be fun to run those with a full team of tanks for a change.

I have an /ice melee and a /spines built for this now. Not sure which one I'll actually use for the challenge run since both could do well in different ways. Guess I'll find out in September.

We had a fun time on Indomitable tonight with three teams running. Many thanks to @wittylibrarian for starting off the mission team tonight for those not doing the Stone Armor Challenge. For the stoners, we had two teams going with @Warboss leading a speedy Yin TF for most of them and @PLVRIZR leading a Numina to get the TFC accolade for the last few tanks on the challenge that needed it. With that done for most, next month we can do the big push to get these tanks to 50 and/or fill in any gaps in the TFC for those that need them. (I believe @X'terra volunteered to lead a Positron 1 & 2 next month) Next Tanker Tuesday is July 29th,. Since that is the 5th Tuesday in July, we will be running an all-tank Instanced MSR on Everlasting. Bring a 35+ tanker with the Member of Vanguard Badge to ensure maximum exp and v-merits are gained (lowbie tanks will not help out much and maximum damage will be needed). Meet up in Kings Row at 6:00 pm PT / 9:00 pm ET by the IP Gate and we will launch from there. Warboss has also suggested that the next TT challenge set start in September on Excelsior. This will be with the Energy Aura armor set as the required Primary but the Secondary will be your choice. Bring a new Tanker, no higher than level 4, to the wall in Kings Row on September 2nd to join that challenge run. See you all in the CIty

A fun time was had on Reunion today. With 7 Tankers in attendance, we first cleared out 3 Paladins from Kings Row and then ran a +3x8 ITF in a little over an hour (with 2 of our tankers still in their 30s), and to close out the run a few of us ran through Heather Townsend's arc in DA. Lots of levels gained and I think at least one purple recipe dropped, which is nice. Next Tanker Tuesday is July 22nd on Indomitable. The Stone Armor challenge will be running and I think are up to Numina's TF. As well, the WST will be Yin and Faathim. Meet in Kings Row on the wall by the IP Gate. 6:00 pm PT / 9:00 pm ET. July 29 will be the 5th Tuesday of the month. We will be running a IMSR on Everlasting for that event. Bring a level 35+ tank with the Member of Vanguard badge for maximum exp and vanguard merits. See you all in the city.

A good run tonight on Everlasting, we had a few new faces come to join us and had 3 teams running for the night. Many thanks to Disarray aka @VooDooMan for leading the ITF team tonight and to Guy With The Thing aka @Palmtree for taking the reigns on the mission team, The Electric Melee challenge team managed to get a +2 Yin TF done with @PLVRIZR leading and then ran a Citadel TF with @Felix 9 getting the star after a few of us crashed out. All in all, a good night of tanking was had. This Saturday we return to Reunion. Meet up in Kings Row at 9:30 am PT / 12:30 pm ET. Will probably run a Justin Augustine or Imperious TF depending on the turnout. Next Tuesday, July 22nd, we will be on Indomitable at the usual time. A Clamor for the People & The Saga of Lanaru will be the WST. And July 29 will be the 5th Tuesday of the Month. For that special event we will be running a IMSR on Everlasting. Bring a level 35+ tank with the Member of Vanguard badge for maximum exp and v-merit gains. See you all in the city.

It was a busy and fun time as the Tanker Tuesday Tour stop on Torchbearer tonight. There were a lot of new faces and baby tanks that showed up so we needed 5 teams in all to accommodate everyone. Many thanks to @MsAligned and @Warboss for each taking a mission team and putting the lowbies through their paces. There were also enough tanks wanting to bring about The Fall of the Clockwork King that we needed both @Hiro Juan and @X'terra to run Synapse TF teams. As well, there were 7 hearty tanks that joined me in the Shadow Shard to beat up Nemesis minions and take down Ruladak the Weak for Sara Moore on her TF. Much fun, leveling and bozo trashing happened all around Paragon tonight! Next week, July 15th, we will be on Everlasting. Imperious and Justin Augustine will the WST. (Not sure if Warboss wanted to run a theme for the ITF or not) Meet up in Kings Row by the IP gate as usual. 6:00 pm PT / 9:00 pm ET. The Electric Melee Challenge will also be continuing this week. Next up in the run are the Yin and Citadel TFs. May be able to get both done if we are lucky. Saturday July 19th will be our Reunion run. Same place, 9:30 AM PT / 12:30 pm ET See you all in the City

We had a fun run for Tanker "Tuesday" on Victory today. Six tankers cleared out the 3 Paladins that were messing up Kings Row before we took on the Crey Corporation for Manticore in his task force. We finished that in about an hour and then @Warboss took us to some alternate dimensions to assist Unai Kemen. Some good dining and Incarnate unlocks happened along the way. Next run on Victory will be on August 2nd. Next Tanker Tuesday will be July 8th on Torchbearer. Meet up in Kings Row 6:00 pm PT / 9:00 pm ET in Kings row. Synapse and Sara Moore will be the WST. The 29th will be the 5th Tuesday in July and we will be running an Instanced MSR on Everlasting for that event. See you all in the city.

A very busy and fun night of tanking on Excelsior today. A lot of new faces and some surprising returns of old friends as well. We had 5 teams running with many thanks to @ultraamann for leading a Dr Q TF, special thanks to @Warboss for getting the league going tonight and leading a speedy ApeMage TF, And thanks to @X'terra and @Agoogala for leading the other two mission teams. This Saturday morning we are back on Victory, 10:00 am PT / 1:00 pm ET. No specific plan for there as of yet. Next week, July 8th, we will return to Torchbearer at the usual time and place. 6:00 pm PT / 9:00 pm ET in Kings row. Synapse and Sara Moore will be the WST. The 29th will be the 5th Tuesday in July and we will be running an Instance MSR on Everlasting for that event. See you all in the city.

Some good tanking got done tonight with 3 teams running. Many thanks to @Ohmazine for starting off the mission team for the regular tanks tonight and to @MisterGrass for keeping it going. There were also 12 tanks doing the Stone Armor Challenge which we split into a team running a Numina TF lead by @X'Terra for those over 35 and a team running a Manticore TF lead by @PapaSlade for those who didn't get it done last month. Next week the cycle starts anew with Tanker Tuesday returning to Excelsior on July 1st. Dr. Q and ApeMage will be the WST. Meet in Kings Row 6:00 pm PT / 9:00 pm ET. July 5th will also be the next TT run on Victory. Same spot just different time - 10:00 am PT / 1:00 pm ET July also has 5 Tuesdays, so for 5th Tuesday in July, the 29th, we will be running an Instanced MSR on Everlasting. See you in the City

I went back and checked, in April we did Yin and some of us got a Citadel in as well that night. Last month, Warboss took the stone tankers on a Manti while I took out a non-stone tank on a mission team for the lowbies. So not sure how many are in Numina range now or not, but we will pencil in a Citadel TF at least and maybe do a level 30 contact arc for the rest. I'm certain I can find an interesting way to get people killed... I mean XP.

Good fun on our Reunion run today. We had two teams running with a few baby tanks trying out new power sets in the mix. Many thanks to @Stormangel for taking the lead on a team and running them through a Moonfire TF. The other team joined me running the Know Thy Enemy Arc from Alexander the Great in Kalisti Wharf. A great time beating up warriors and demons there. Out next run on Reunion will be on July 19th. Next Tanker Tuesday will be June 24 on Indomitable. 6:00 pm PT / 9:00 pm ET. Stone Armor challenge will be going (not sure where we are in that) and Positron 1 & 2 will be the WST if others want that. See you in the city

A busy night on Everlasting today with a lot of new faces and new tankers joining us for Tanker Tuesday. We had 4 full teams running. Many thanks to @Ohmazine and @PapaSlade for taking the mission teams tonight. And thanks to @PLVRIZR for running the FreakSpec team in saving the Terra Volta reactor in under an hour. The Electric Melee Challenge completed a Synapse TF in 1:53:52 with everyone doing their impersonation of Witty at some point. Thanks for taking the reigns there @MsAligned The changes to tanks with today's update definitely made things more difficult, but we will adjust and persevere. Next TT run is this Saturday, June 21 on Reunion. 9:30 am PT / 12:30 pm ET. Will look at running some of the new content in Kalisti Wharf for that. Next Tuesday, June 24, we will be on Indomitable. 6:00 pm PT / 9:00 pm ET. Positron 1 & 2 will be the WST. Stone Armor challenge will be going there, not sure where we are on that though, hopefully someone else has that answer. See you all in the City

Put this together in MIDS for you to get him started or at least point in a direction of where to go. Probably mid-range for price on the black market, save for the ATOs and a few of the PVP IOs. Assumption is you would get him the prestige attacks from START to flesh out the early attack chain until the later attacks are available. ScienceTanker (Invulnerability - Staff Fighting).mbd Hope that helps
