PapaSlade Posted June 7 Posted June 7 Fun Times on Victory today. Kudos to Ronin for the usual smooth operation. Ran thru some of the Marchand arc with a good number of levels for some on our team (with the usual death and debt). Might plan for the council bosses and invasion of Striga Isle next month. Many thanks to Frostyfire Meg for a lot of the heavy lifting. The Titan Weapon tank I was running always seems to disappoint on the damage side for me. On a side note, I may have finally found a profile pic that matches my somewhat frenetic play style.

PLVRIZR Posted June 8 Posted June 8 Second shout-out to @MsAligned, for the great Katie TF. Tons of fun and a good bit of leveling was had.

Ronin_Around Posted June 11 Posted June 11 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
Groovy_Ghoul Posted June 17 Posted June 17 With the implementation of this newest patch, I suggest a name change to: Tanker Tuesday/Wednesday 😆 1 1
Krimson Posted June 17 Posted June 17 What confuses me is that the buff was implemented so that people would PLAY Tankers in end-game content. After my DPS test, I don't see that happening much. 1
Ronin_Around Posted June 18 Posted June 18 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

The changes to tanks with today's update definitely made things more difficult, but we will adjust and persevere. My pleasure and we had a blast. 59 minutes was a significant accomplishment (IMHO), considering only half the team was incarnated and with the aforementioned changes to tanking, ,especially in AOE damage. Our non-incarnated (and certainly non-kitted) tanks understandably struggled against +5 mobs, in the final couple of waves in the reactor chamber. All-in-all we had a successful mission with a WHOLE lot of dings 😆 As an aside, I didn't notice much difference on my electric armor tank.

Ronin_Around Posted June 21 Posted June 21 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

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. 1

SeraphimKensai Posted Tuesday at 10:59 AM Posted Tuesday at 10:59 AM Will try to make it tonight as I don't have a night meeting at work this week.
Ronin_Around Posted Wednesday at 03:49 AM Posted Wednesday at 03:49 AM 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 1

Thanks again for "X" leading, as they were the tallest of the six of us (and all of lvl 38, IIRC). Six (now nerfed) tanks took on a +2/8 Numina and finished in less than two hours. Big difference in the time it takes to complete the hunts, without a full team, for sure. I quit counting dings, but my (starting) level 36 tank ended at 38. Much herding and tons of fun.

SeraphimKensai Posted Wednesday at 09:55 PM Posted Wednesday at 09:55 PM Sadly I'm horrible about screenshots but last night's mission team started at +2 (I think we had 2-3 50s if recall right. I was drinking but Ohma was on their stone/weapon tank that was already at 50 leading the way. I was test piloting my new 50 psi/fire tank that was only 80% slotted. Psionic armor is very good. Although I did have a little issue maintaining end from sappers, carnies, and mu, so it gave me some needed insight. We did a bank mish and all the side missions, and then a few radios. The lowbies got some XP and debt, but fun times.
