We were few, but mighty!! Three teams in the league and we took the rikti to they're limit! Good job all!! Thanks to all who joined the event and a special thanks to all those that brought their 50s allowing us to have a great raid! We're back on Excelsior next week for our usual first of the month TT. See you there (King's Row, by IP Gate 6pm PDT/9pm EDT).

Hi all, The previously mentioned "two weeks" is here! Head on over to Excelsior for an all Tanker MSR tonight! We'll be starting at the normal time in the normal place (King's Row at 6pm PDT/9pm EDT). We'll head en masse to RWZ from there. If we are lacking enough Tanks to form a league, then we'll run teamage as usual. But, lets shoot for the high mark (we are Tankers after all) and go for the MSR!! See ya' there!!

Hi all, We're heading back on Indomitable next week, 7/23. Meet in KR by IP gate at 6pm PDT/9pm EDT, and we'll get rolling from there. **Two weeks away, get you're Tanks as close to 50 as you can for an all Tanker MSR on Excelsior on 7/30!**

That's pretty much how I'd rank them as well, although once you incarnate things many sets get MUCH better.

Hi all, We had a great time last night. We were few, but mighty! I like to take a minute that thank everyone that comes out to our events, and also a bigger thanks to all the event organizers and team leads! Next Tuesday we'll be visiting Lor and Co. on Everlasting, so looking forward to seeing you all there! Hyper, thanks for input on MSRing, in general I call for the Tanks to "round the corner" when they herd. It serves two purposed, 1) helps direct the AoE stuns away from the center of the bowl, and 2) allows the mobs to actually get in range of our meleers. Alternately I suppose would could just "cruise the mother ship" and wipe it out section by section/rinse repeat (probably counter clockwise, starting with the "North" section first). Always open to suggestions and ideas. Feel free to pitch in with ideas.

Hi all! TTT on Everlasting next week 7/16. Meet in KR by IP gate at 6pm PDT/9pm EDT, and we'll get rolling from there. Long term PLAN, get you're Tanks as close to 50 as you can for an all Tanker MSR on Excelsior on 7/30!

Overall, the answer is "no". No minimum level required, just realize we'll be punching 54s, so the closer you are to 50/incarnate the longer you'll stay on your feet. That said, one thing we do need is at least two level 50s per team. So turn out and number of 50s we have available for the event will be a factor. I'll probably be on and off Excelsior for the next few days, so feel free to drop me a line if you've got a Tanker and need some levels. I'm not 50 yet myself, but with a little effort I can probably hit that mark+ by the time the event rolls around.

Hi all! TT on Excelsior tonight! I'm not sure if the official start time there got ironed out, so check the TankHQ channel for additional information. It's a public channel so anyone can join. /chan_join TankHQ See you there tonight!

TT rolls back to Excelsior or the 2nd! I don't think and official start time has been declared yet, so I'm guessing the event will start at 5pm PDT/8pm EDT? If so, we'll also make accommodations for west coast Tankers, so if you show up at 6pm PDT, you'll have a chance to get in on the fun!

I'd try like heck to make it (Ice/Elec). I'm 48 I think now, so 50's within reach. Not sure how much beyond 50 I might be at that point though. Are you thinking that last Tuesday? Yes, the last Tuesday of July would be the day for the raid. Along similar lines, we may need to play "zone shuffle" (move to another spawning of RWZ) depending on how many players attend, and any other MSRs are taking place at that time. So, be ready to shift MSR zones if need be.

Looks at roster...does some quick math...realizes 22% of all characters have Dark Armor. Looks at Rangle...are you saying there's a problem here mister?? Dark Armor = Lurking = Rangle, I don't see any problem with the "maths". Other than that, I'm thinking you're enjoying the set PapaS. ;)

Looking forward to July, we have 5 Tuesdays (the 30th being the 5th). So, what does everyone think about an All Tanker MSR on Excelsior? If possible, I'd like this event to kick off at 6pm PDT (to allow for our west coasters to make it to the event). So the start time would be a little later, but the event would primarily be for the MSR. Once the raid ends, teamage could follow as folks have time/are available for. Things we would need: 2 level 50 Tanks per league team Invest in flight packs if needed Tanks! Lots of them! The more the merrier! Thoughts, comments, suggestions?

I just got a chance to look at these.... Ah.....

Ah Hah! I knew you were lurking around here somewhere.

Oh well, could be worse...

??? eh??? Fixed, thanks IK.

Hi all, The TT Tour stops by Indomitable this coming Tuesday! We'll meet at the usual time in the usual place. I'll be on and off this weekend working on my tank over there, so if you see me on and are up for some Tanker teamage, shoot me a tell! See ya' Tuesday!

By control, do you mean maintain aggro on yourself (keep the minions and bosses punching you only), or do you actually want to Stun/Hold/Fear/Slow/"control" them? If you want them to keep punching you only, spam your tier one attack and look at slotting it with a Taunt Enhancement, or set. Slot taunts into your aggro and damage aura/s, and in your AoEs, one is usually enough. If you want to keep them held, look at slotting one of the +2 mag procs (Lock Down and one of the Winter Sets), in the appropriate powers (Ice, SS, KinM, Stone, and Nrg (I'm probably forgetting one in there). If you want to keep them Stunned, look at one of the stunning sets (Stone, Nrg, KinM(?), and slot for stunning. For Fear, Dark Melee and Dark Armor combined (DA can also be used for Stunning). Ice Melee is actually not as bad as some folks may remember it and at some point Ice Patch actually started knocking things down again. Pair this with a with Taunt Aura, and AoEs and you can get very good control/aggro control. Ice Melee also offers some slowing with all attacks and Frost now has a "wider" deeper cone than it used to (depending on when you stopped playing). Another tactic for slotting is go for recharge on your AoEs. Faster firing powers with or w/o Taunt slotted will gather and help hold aggro. Take Taunt an put a few slots in it. There are several sets that provide beneficial advantages and a few interesting single procs as well. Ice Armor/Stone Melee is very "controlly" Ice Armor/Spines does a very good job of controlling aggro. Stone/Ice Melee is interesting if not boring and slow to play/level (imo, ymmv). Rad Armor/Ice Melee has good "control" and is very support and utility oriented. I'm not sure of the mechanics of it (and maybe someone that knows them or understands them better than I can fill us in on their effect), but I've noticed that "sticky" (DoT) powers hold aggro better as well. So thing like Chilling Embrace, Spines, End Drains ("ticking damage and effects") would all contribute to holding aggro as well.

1). Not to my knowledge. 2) My guess is a Saturday will be the most viable option for Reunion. On the selfish side I would suggest a mid/late July (20th?) attempt at a first run just because I have vacation planned for the week after the 4th of July. Or, if we want to be ambitious, we can look at June 29th as a possibility. If I remember correctly, which happens less and less these days, there was a TT thread on the individual server forums that was used to advertise when the tour was rolling back around. Perhaps we revive those and use the reunion thread to solicit times from the folks over there? Let's look a few week out at least. Saturdays are not going to be great for me due to RL. Yeah, we'll need to get their server used to the idea. I think I saw one person there, during the discussions, but not sure they were keen on Saturdays.

Hi all, Two things: 1) Did we come up with a universal start time for TT on Excelsior, and 2) Has there been any additional thought on a stop by Reunion (day/time)? Thoughts, comments, suggestions?

Great TTT all, very fun running with everyone again. I'd like to go on record for the most deaths every at a TT event. I now put out the challenge for anyone to beat it. I lost track somewhere near ten. See you all next week on Indomitable!!

Step one of my cunning plan complete (leveled toon to 16+). Step 2 complete, took Hand Clap at level 16. Step 3 complete. purchased and slotted SE proc KB to KD (works very well)). Step 4, waiting to see the look of horror and shock on Lor's face when I use it at TTT tonight. ;) Bottom line, HC +SE Proc = Fault, good damage mitigation, good recharge out of the gate, waiting to see it in action to night with a bit of recharge/Acc added in. Next test will be adding PZ's Psi damage Proc.

Nice! LSK has the TankHQ star, but I think any of us can invite you. I'm on atm, so if you send me a tell, I'll get you into the SG. On another note... just picked up Hand Clap, and ready to slot it.. ;)

And the Tanker Tuesday Tour rolls to Everlasting tonight so we can hang Lorna and company there. See ya' in King's Row!

Hiya' IK, I don't recall a specific logo from live, but then I likely wasn't paying attention to it. Seems that one of the builds, a shield or something like that would be appropriate.
