\"2005-07-10_hess.jpg\"Did the Hess TF again this weekend, as organized by Avocet, and participating, this time, Velvet <\/strong>and P-siren<\/strong>. Along for the ride were Aerobolt, Granite Rock, Fixette, WillO’Wisp, and Lunar Lupun.
\nInitial organization with these things was chaotic, as folks couldn’t make it, folks dropped, the SK\/Exemp questions nagged, the lack of scrappers concerned, etc. (Yes, Avo, it’s often an hour before TFs actually take off, though 30 minutes is usually a more common lag.)
\nOnce we got going, though, and got used to each others’ capabilities, it went remarkably smoothly — despite the fact that everything was purple to both PS and me, PS couldn’t actually hit anything for damage, and I barely could. On the upside, PS’s bubbles were a key defense (despite everyone running away when it was time to reapply), and I was able to draw fire briefly with taunts (without being able to further hit well, it was hard to hold the aggro).
\n

\"2005-07-10_hess-robot.jpg\"The upside to all of this was that both of us dinged twice — and that was from just into 25 for Velvet and dinging on the TF completion. And we all got out before the Giant Robot blew up. Spiffy.
\n(Our tactics in the Robot Chamber — just stay on the first level and draw everyone down to us — worked great. We probably should have jumped to the bottom sooner, but by the time we drew Archon Burkholder to us, we were able to pretty effectively gang up on him and take him down.)
\nGood group, overall, and much fun. Wasn’t up to doing Bastion (a *real* slog) after that, as most of the group did. Went off to Talos, and made some serious investments in SOs.
\nAnd, yes, the Velvet respec seemed to work well. I ran with full defense most of the time, and only had End problems when I forgot to drop Super Jump before entering the mish.
\nAnd I got KO Blow, which actually did<\/em> do some damage to the mobs, so I didn’t feel completely <\/em>useless.
\n

\"2005-07-10_tu.jpg\"UPDATE<\/u>: After dinner and some other mishing, ended up running Truly Unstable<\/strong> with Fallen Twice<\/strong>. Duoing with two Defenders is an interesting challenge, but between Margie’s kinetic mojo and my radiation buddies, we did pretty well.
\nAnd playing TU on the coms is always a lot of fun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
