Strike Force Inferno still had a 15-20 spread, but close enough to be able to SK the lowbies.<br \/>\nFirst mish?  <strong>Mister Ravenous<\/strong> was pleased to see pleasant shades of yellow and orange, rather than the angry red and purple that dominated last time out.  We did suffer a TPK in that first going, against a room that was, in fact, full of reds and oranges and three purple bosses, all of whom annoying decided to come running after us at once.  But, aside from forgetting my rez temp power, that wasn&#8217;t so bad, and we had cut the group in half and managed the other half easy-peasy.  <strong>Charity <\/strong>was the resident healer, and did a fine job of it.<br \/>\nThe second mish (CoT at the outdoor power station) was handled through wise use of our invisible stalker resources &#8212; and we  relearned the lesson of pulling the folks you want out to the exterior of the map, rather than going in and dealing with wandering patrols (who always wander by at inopportune times, like when you&#8217;re hip-deep in opponents already) and spill-over to neighboring groups.<br \/>\nAs mentioned, the level difference made all the difference in the world &#8212; especially with the SF being front-loaded as I keep being assured it is.  Red bosses I can handle.  Red minions with ultraviolet bosses, not so much.<br \/>\nWas still having endurance problems, even with an EndRed DO in each attack, if things went beyond a single mob at a  time..  And going up against Ruin Mages, and being the Guy with Status Protection, it wasn&#8217;t like I could toggle any of my armor off.  I forgot to try Doyce&#8217;s trick of auto-firing Brawl &#8212; I&#8217;ll try that tonight and report back.<br \/>\nBy then it was around 9:30p, so we adjourned for the evening.  Margie and I re-signed in as <strong>Torchy <\/strong>and <strong>Hildy <\/strong>and blew up a lot of Council and DE Real Good.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rebooted the Virgil Tarikoss Strike Force last night with much the same crew, many of them up a level or two.
