Yes - that's the hope however @Technowill not be with us (busy tonight) and I'm not sure who else is still up for this but will maybe put together a PuG TF maybe with all the free spots.

For anyone who is interested a few of us Rad/Fire defenders will doing some TFs tomorrow - (the hope is to squeeze a Miss Lib. in there if enough interest). So if you have any Radiation Emission toon that you'd like bring along we'd love to have you join us. You should be able to find me in-game on global @Guffy. May the fourth be with you, Guff.

Excellent - I've been super busy so not updated this thread in a while - Will change the title again shortly. I dinged the big one last week (any time in game has been used in getting some incarnate powers going), @Techno was just over a level away and suggested that we try a wider invitation for 'ANY RADIATION EMISSION' toons to join for some TFs (think he wanted to try a Miss Lib) - which might be fun. As ever this might happen 'early evening' for your side of the pond so will likely try and pickup any interest in-game on the night rather than bank on 'yeah - I fancy that' here. I've finished my 'cheap' +Res build now so just need the accolades and last three incarnates to have it fully finished - hard to know how well it performs as a non-super-teamer as the only other thing I've done on it was a couple of BAFs (which are just smash face on keyboard). For anyone who wants to catch me in-game this Thursday 18:00 on Excelsior (@Guffy) for a 'Bring Your Own AM Task Force Session' it would be great to have you along. Cheers, Guff.

1 Defender in team = If you are a great player then Kin - what you choose for secondary is a little bit arbitrary in my opinion as you'll be super-busy in a larger team. Otherwise, if you're not a great player (like me) then Rad primary is a much simpler choice and all 'foe focused' - plus it blossoms early - sonic and rad are nice secondaries. 2 Defenders in team = As you'll not know the makeup of the potential remaining 6 team-mates I'd suggest both the above as I think debuff for a full PuG team just trumps buffs - logic would suggest a buff heavy and debuff heavy mix - but there's always be the time when the buffer is bored not needing to 'heal' the only squishy blaster on the team as the tank/brute brigade turned up in force. And to answer a question you didn't ask; 3+ Defenders in team = All Rad primary with anything heavy AoE and no KB as great secondary choices. The other good choice for more than 2 defenders in the team is "Yes please, bring more defenders!" - stacked leadership as passive buffs alone is a good enough reason before even considering the 'right' primary powers (not sure there's a wrong defender set).

This is a much cheaper effort that I eventually may be able to afford - it's high on +Res (all) and I've cut out a lot of the expensive +Rech | Copy & Paste this data into Mids Reborn : Hero Designer to view the build | |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |MxDz;1766;777;1554;HEX;| |78DA6594CB4F135114877FD3998A9442054A799637B44229D4E7D620E882820D127| |7A6A9ED004D6A5BDB12A9111F6B776EF0159F6B23A0FE05BAD495EFC4B5D144D184| |1835A2F574CE5C73692799B9DF3DE7DCF3BAF7CEE4E298FDF9B3E00128350713916| |C363CA6CFEAC9989EB1CDE8D1F9642A919ACB831EFBA17846CF1F5E989D0D65F315| |24E81486E15112FAA723B17824174F25C3E327E3D92C41CB7F83E948724E8FF98B1| |EC2A31424074728954AF8837A84D4D9F978BACE98CFE8093D9DCAE40C3F7661928E| |27E76CC6E4685AD763CEF1743CEAA724A2F3F1687892BCE9997C1325E4A1F7B4853| |E0AC453B00213340D68D881A08049863A4C31B87084611821860FCEAD6EE8F5A986| |264F011449A32AD8D40C8D05BF04FC6670E207C34772A7CA59A9F8C31A0D7F05141| |8B60156131486EDB030D452DBAD726C2B1A14D3A49AA10636869D7030786851855C| |4A05EC1643F389B2AA8494552576B3C6863D02F632D8B14FC07E8B196917C3220D5| |572715558B198F5AF3274628DA10B0F197AF188C187C70CF59467B5ECA61A37C5EA| |5B0C3DB8C7D08F3B0C43B86B3177EE36431FB971C8E53AF09E354B34D44A1AAD16E| |F48E42E1E84B70C2EBC66E8C71B060F5E32A82EA05E6A164D0661F8F552C406C9AF| |A501ED56730FDA1806E066F84C2D6F948B6CC472F1E46A68C2150157195A704DC07| |58636DC6038433935CB453653678D005F2840AB5C642BCED3D8546CFD05861E5C64| |E8C59280730CEBB4DA2DA7E7C602FB6D474E40564006E6F614B8C11E6C329CA5A14| |3EA95D68135F330E2BE626EDCAA80070C01AC30BCA08BD62DAD56BAF15433F7FF09| |C32B32E9932F429FD15577B1E53F55B3E5DF05FC62A8A37DF2CA4DF38AA66DD8814| |1D9DDA028D227CAF6E114CC34CD8EB8C89D5F5AA4F8C5651CC606477492C9885CC9| |88300960824DA6B4AD3F9A429B06F92918C24201C11243C24A71192A18429A6C414| |B15B49AA7C256F63B1B62CD7AB9C6CB9AAFB6B2805DAA790C8F7115DFCA4D96C53D| |BFCC3031B0B505854B7489545910244140EE408BB34410B295088E970A22A58213A| |5827F0181DF88| |-------------------------------------------------------------------|

It's hard to pass judgement as we don't currently play to our potential (i.e. not a full team of 8xRad/fires). However, even in a team of 4, I don't think that Hasten is required and the fighting pool seems a bit 'safe-n-solo' if this build was really meant for superteaming. But of course we all feel different things when deciding what to chase with any given build. You seem to have relied heavily on solo +Def and +Res(S+L). I'm still working toward (maybe mistakenly) getting most of my +Def and +Rech from the team. I find it beneficial to have another viable single target attack (Blazing bolt) and would personally ignore slotting your Teir1 blast to be stronger against AVs by using this snipe. Also if your build can't make room for extra epic power picks then you might want to think about Red-side epics as you can get a +RES shield without a prerequisite. Maybe you're just going for 'one build for all occasions' in which case I'd say personal taste is king! My planned build as you can see is vastly different as I spend a lot more time using the various teleport powers. I still advocate that more fold space would be of great benefit to this team - however is likely very situational in PuGs.

Some off the wall slotting there - looks like fun, how do those procs work in AM?

This is my current thinking for my Rad/Fire - seems that so far we only really need one TPTeam so no doubt yours will differ. Having had two of us with Fold Space works well however one or two others (if well coordinated) would be gravy. | Copy & Paste this data into Mids Reborn : Hero Designer to view the build | |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |MxDz;1698;767;1534;HEX;| |78DA65944B4C53411486FFDBDE0A9442054A79B4E52950799496876E0D8226520C4| |1E2B669DA0BDCA4B64D8B911A8DBA76E773A33CDC1B151FA85B5DEACA77E2DA68A2| |68424C74554FEF993103DC64DAEF9E73E69C33FFCCDCA9A571D7EB57D143D0AA0FA| |7E2F97C6CDC9833D24923E79C35120BE94C2A335F003DAE2366CE281C3D3D37379D| |2F9491A14D06C6C6C8189A8927CDF8A29949C7264E99F93C41F3FF8099787ADE488| |64A196263546411EEE94C26158A1A7172E717CC6CADF53E6BA48C6C26B768E571C9| |90AC999E775A2F27B28691F44C64CD44889A482C9889D81465337285466AA893C61| |91BFD68904FD101F8ED4044C75E0424B430D4A295C18B368641B4337CF16C4F43A3| |9F3D052AA0291EBB86AB36CB63C3350957183CB8CEF095D2D9D5AEEC58E7743A1E4| |A78C4B0078F253C6128C706430DC9EE50D33850AF89902A866A38193AE162E84135| |C37EB88585D294A98B2B838BFBFC467D564029508161F63831226194C18503120ED| |A44ED218625FAAB5435AAC473A9C806433B9E32ECC333863AEAAA4A99A45761993D| |6D5861E8C61AC300EED8C486AD3274D16CB7BA26373EB3E73CFDD5A8796BF0894C8| |1D2FE7F64F0E23D43373E30F4E02D83DD0BD4298AD04B1FACBC41AA58AF2EB21E3E| |8710DACFD08B00433F5A18BE93C00DEA0E3620AC5B9E460C4B186568C6050A692CC| |145063F2E319CA5E69AD4D53691A0D6A41F54C0A7AED68701A978C8264EC6A0943E| |2C21C2B049B3036A7B8192B5345A30246144C22D5D6CCF6D86085618CE51B656453| |4BD15EBF230DED5C40E3E90704F13B3EF33BCA1C3DEA1CCD63AF052179DBF607847| |215DAAF65D96AA8192F67FEC42FBDF12FE8AEB4E1B1654450B4AD1B65C409FE2B1F| |5614D171BB72C6195C14B59424AAC16927770105B5CC84321617501611912C12487| |1CD7B77F5F8A7E1DEA53B48CC522A23B02092BE465286798D6D5089AAAC1270E837| |3D7576C803D9BBB3D41F6FC74EE2A788C464FE9F49DE455FCDA11426DDC9437F586| |3C6CE21338D9BB5D8BE265BA4D76D51025434495A2D9B3C3F00FD7B9CF03| |-------------------------------------------------------------------|

Good to know - I may be on again later today so if anyone is about and can see others online (assuming you have swapped 'globals') then go burn (and lightly irradiate) as required. I may also be about on Wednesday - so will see how well populated we are over these alternate times and adjust the schedule as necessary. Hopefully catch you later.

Last night's ITF was loads of fun for me - the Team Teleport into the middle of a group and then deciding when to use Fold Space still hasn't got old. It would seem that (on this team) more often than not EBs would get teleported too, which made some of the 'harder' elements of an ITF really quite easy. That doesn't mean there weren't a few comedy faceplants, despite @Technoclaiming top spot on that leaderboard the judges, last I checked, were still discussing their split decision... Due to the horrible scheduling of this superteam there was only 5 of us but playing at +1x8 meant the xp poured in - I finished the evening at 'Lessons in Love' (A little 'Level42' joke for all you 80's kids - you're welcome). Even though the timezone issue is restrictive for a full team compliment, I'll keep with the usual schedule until someone can suggest an alternative. In my sleepy state before logging last night I recall a discussion about doing the ITF again next week which I think we should hold as a plan or if we have lower level members joining something 'inclusively appropriate'. Might be best to gather at the normal time (or earlier if you're 'about') and do regular missions so as to give others the best chance at joining before deciding on the TF. Until next time, Guff out.

Excellent! I certainly echo your desire for team-focus-ness. So far we've met 5 or 6 times, the content has largely been radio missions (to ensure that as many different time zones can drop in and out as appropriate). However for this week I thought of mixing it up and starting a bit later (for us in BST) so as to ensure the best possible chance of participation however, as you know, once the TF starts it'll be locked into 'who we have' at the time, which may not be ideal for new starters (esp. as ITF is min level 35 iirc). I'm glad that there is new interest despite the timing - if normally playing late on a Thursday evening is going to be too restrictive for yourselves then perhaps next time I'll schedule a longer window to let folk come and go. Indeed there's no reason to keep us at once a week if the demand dictates. I've not played that much since coming back off of holiday so not sure where everyone else is at (although I suspect that most folk have had a couple of weeks off RadFiring). I'll be sure to add your global in-game later on and if the ITF doesn't pan out I'll let you know and maybe the remainder of us can do something more inclusive. We usually use discord (mostly because my 'typing while TPing' usually goes horribly wrong) - the timing of these teams usually means I don't have the wife rolling her eyes at me while I chat to internet-strangers - I'm sure she knows that she 'could have done better'. Catch ya later, Guff.

Being granted access to the bed seems like the sensible choice. I like the idea of proc-bombing a hold however my build (Dominate) doesn't really have the slots to dedicate to it 😞 When I looked at Flame Mastery I wasn't sure if there was a third power I'd want to take as the recharge on consume is just too long for any useful sapper/AoE damage. Which is probably why I'm wondering if another toggle of World of Confusion would be of any benefit - which includes a tiny bit of of PBAoE psy damage. With the rate at which mobs die in this team I not sure if there would be any noticeable advantage to both hold AND confuse with PBAoE toggles? Although the more I look at WoC's small radius the more I think it maybe overkill. As for pets I'm not sure there's pixel-room for Team Teleport and Fold Space for all the good+bad guys as it is...

Hope you all have had some Rad/Fire fun while I was away and are at least level 35 now? I'm thinking for this Thursday's ITF session, that; it would be best to save time on the night, so ensure you have access to Cimerora before the published time. we should run the TF as a 'kill most' and not worry about 'getting a time'. Have fun with ridiculous teleport effects and give @Techno the opportunity to maximise his veng. if we are less than 5 then open it up to any other Rad Emission toons that want to join (as long as their KB is negligible/controlled). actual levels will be discussed on the night depending on the team size/make up. Here's hoping that the time away from this team has galvanised our resolve - although the opposite is usually true when there is a period of 'time away'.😮 As an aside I'm now thinking of Psy for epic, what's everyone else thinking? Looking forward to it, Hope to see you there, Guff.

Anecdotally it works well on +3 mobs. It's late here so have finished for another session however if there are some of you about soon or over the next week (while I'm on holiday) then carry on with the Rad/Fire goodness. Would be good to try an ITF on Thursday the 13th April 6pm EST - shout on here if you fancy it or leave a thumbs up. Cheers, Guff.

One of the few teleport powers I've skipped - really only needs one person with Team Teleport to make it work - fold space however might need 2 or 3 of us to get it as it's recharge is that much longer. Be good to see you later hopefully.
