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

A very busy and fun time on Torchbearer tonight. We had 32+ tankers show up throughout the event. Many thanks to @Agoogala and @Warboss for leading mission teams tonight. As well, thanks to @MsAligned for leading the Dr Kahn TF, that team got it done in 48 minutes which is the fastest I've heard of for an all tanker team. And thanks to those that joined me for a +2x8 Cavern of Transcendence Trial, the unending waves of Igneous ambushes caused multiple deaths for us (being only level 15) but also a tremendous amount of fun. Everyone stuck with it and in the end we saved Sam Wincott until the next time he gets kidnapped. The Next Tanker Tuesday will be June 17th on Everlasting. Terra Volta Respec trials will be the Weekly Strike targets. Meet in Kings Row by the IP gate, 6:00 pm PT / 9:00 pm ET. The Electrical Melee challenge will also be continuing next week, with the Synapse TF being on deck for those participating in that. See you next week

Good turn out on Victory today for our weekend TT run. We had 2 full teams that started off cleansing Kings Row of the 3 Paladins there and then we went to Croatoa to stop the War of the Vale. One team then ran a Katie Hannon TF with @MsAligned leading us. while @PapaSlade ran the missions team. Many thanks to both for taking the leads today. Next Tanker Tuesday is June 10th on Torchbearer. Will be running Cavern of Transcendence and hopefully someone will take a Dr Kahn TF as those will be the WST then. Meet up in Kings Row on the wall by the IP gate. 6:00 pm PT / 9:00 pm ET. See you then

This Saturday, June 7th, we will get back on Victory for another Tanker "Tuesday" run. We will be forming up at 10:00 am PT / 1:00 pm ET in Kings Row beside the IP Gate as always. We will likely try for a Katie Hannon TF if we have someone with it unlocked and enough tankers that are over level 30. Depending on turn out, we will need someone to lead a mission team as well. Hope to see you there.

We a good night of Tanking on Excel tonight. Four teams running with a Katie Hannon TF Lead by @MsAligned, a Numina TF lead by @PLVRIZR, a MIssion team doing Tina Macintyre's arc lead by @Warboss and a mostly speedy KM ITF with some great herding being done for those that ran with me. This Saturday, June 7th, we will be on Victory. 10:00 am PT / 1:00 pm ET. Meet up in Kings Row as usual. Katie and Numina will still be the WST or maybe we will continue the DA arcs. Next week , June 10th, we will be on Torchbearer. Dr Kahn and Cavern of Transcendence will be the WST. 6:00 pm PT / 9:00 pm ET in Kings row as always. See you tanks there

I don't know where they finished up at but they should be in the mid 20s now, so hopefully able to do more on the next run.

That is mostly correct. @wittylibrarian ran a Moonfire TF as the WST for the non-challenge tanks and I ran some Unai missions for the 2 tanks that weren't tall enough to join the TFs June 3rd on Excel will be the next TT event. Numina, Katie Hannon and Dr Aeon are the WST then. Also next week will be our weekend run on Victory, Saturday June 7th 10:00 am PT / 1:00 pm ET. Same WST as above.

That's half the fun though. If these were easy then they wouldn't really be a "Challenge" now would it? My recent Ice/Savage melee tank was rough at that point too, but came together quite nicely around 30 and with some IO sets slotted. I think we had 40+ defeats between the 5 of us on my teams run but most of that was on the last mission that PLV had left set at +2x8 🤣

An interesting night of tanking on Everlasting tonight. We had 4 teams running with E'lle Trik (@O'terra) overcoming her star allergies to lead the mission team. And many thanks to Murk Breaker @Krogoth for leading the Manticore TF tonight. We also had two teams of 5 tanks each doing the Electric Melee challenge and running the Positron TFs. @PLVRIZR took over the lead of team 1 since he was the tallest and took us through at +2x8 that we completed in 1:26 with a few team wipes while we tried to kick our own asses. Team 2 lead by @Warboss fared a bit better than us, completing both Posi 1 & 2. Next month, the Electric Melee challenge will move on to Synapse which should be interesting. Next week, May 27th, TT will be back on Indomitable. Meet up in KR at 6:00 pm PT / 9:00 pm ET. Market Crash and Moonfire are the WST. The Stone Armor challenge will be continuing this week with the Manticore TF up next but Moonfire may be an option as well. See you then
