Very odd gaps there&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\nThis all came about in the post-Portal Smasher TF discussion last night, in which we started out by talking about when we might want to do the second Shard TF (Rudalak the Strong), and ended by discussing TF&#8217;s in general and which ones we&#8217;d like to get done.<br \/>\nPer the list below&#8230;<\/p>\n<pre>\nHT   Hype  Epitaph  Strat  Pumm\nBurkholder's Bane                    X     X\nPositron's Ally                      X     X       X              X\nSynapse's Cohort                     X     X       X\nSister Psyche's Comrade              X     X\nCitadel's Assistant                  X     X       X\nManticore's Associate                X     X       X       X\nNumina's Compatriot                  X     X\nLiberator (Eden)                     X     X\nTranscendent                         X     X       X              X\nCharmer (Hydra)                      X\nHonorary Peacebringer (Moonfire)                   X\nPortal Smasher (SS 1)                X     X\nSara Moore's TF (SS 2)                     X\nJustin Augustine's TF (SS 3)               X\nFaathim the Kind's TF (SS 4)\nKatie Hannon (Cabalist\/10x the Hero)                       X\nStalwart Medallion (TV Trial 1)      X     X       X       X      X\nStatesman's Star (TV Trial 2)        X     X\nFreedom Cross (TV Trial 3)<\/pre>\n<p>&#8230; there are a few things that really jump out at me:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It&#8217;s mind-blowing to me that neither Strat or Epitaph did the Hess TF (Burkholder&#8217;s Bane) when they were in range.  More ironic, Pummelcite will probably be the next one who does do it.\n<li>Strat, in general, has done almost no TFs or Trials at all, but of three on his list, he&#8217;s done two of them twice.\n<li>I have no recollection whatsoever of doing the Citadel TF with Epitaph. None.\n<li>I&#8217;ve run Manticore (with its difficult starting group requirement, mediocre story (you accomplish pretty much nothing), and high levels of competing content in that level range) more than any other TF except the Sky Raider Terra Volta Trial.  Hell, I went so far as to start a PuG to run it with Epitaph. That&#8217;s crazy.\n<li>I&#8217;ve actually run Moonfire with HT, Hype, AND Strat, but that was before they gave a badge for it, so if I want their badge, I need to do it again&#8230; three times. \ud83d\ude41  Four times, if I want Pumm to get it (and he&#8217;s in the first bubble of the maximum &#8216;xp-earning&#8217; level for it).\n<\/ul>\n<p>So&#8230; stuff I&#8217;d like to run?<br \/>\nRudalak the Strong: preferably with HT, but I&#8217;ll take Hype if we&#8217;ve not got a tank.  I&#8217;ve heard of this going really poorly for some folks &#8212; when I did with Hype, we rolled it.<br \/>\nMoonfire, Hess, and Katie Hannon: with Pummelcite, and soon.<br \/>\nNumina: with either Epitaph or Strat.  This is probably my second favorite TF\/Trial, after the Eden Trial.  Lurve the Eden Trial.<br \/>\nSewer Trial: Now that most everyone&#8217;s 50, I&#8217;d like to take a shot at the Sewer Trial with Hype.  HT did it three times, but they code-blocked the &#8216;hold-spam win&#8217; solution we used each of those times, which means it will be HHHHHHAAAAARD: maybe impossible?  Maybe not. I&#8217;d really like to find out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I turned my Task Force List into an editable wiki page, so that folks can (if they choose) correct anything<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-410","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-mmos"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/randomaverage.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/410","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/randomaverage.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/randomaverage.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/randomaverage.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/randomaverage.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=410"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/randomaverage.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/410\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/randomaverage.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=410"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/randomaverage.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=410"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/randomaverage.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=410"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
