It was pretty much the first night back from my mini break and I get the badge. Good times.
Pictured above (L-R) is Master Kronos [Elec/Stone Brute], Kokuin [Ice/Ice Tank], ACFU [DM/DA Scrapper], Ms Ann [Inv/BA Tank], Pyroplasm [Fire/? Blaster], Al'verde Beskotin [Spider], Athene Aegis [Fire/SD Scrapper], and Blood Wrath [MA/Regen Scrapper] is the guy with no pants on.
I started attempting the MoITF about 6 months ago, with many different team builds, but it was alwasy very difficult to find success. Problems ranged from team members who lacked the experience, team members who are running the TF for XP (not the badge), poorly built/slotted team members, too many squishies on the team, horrible lag (glad they finally fixed it!), or a lack of aggro and damage mitigation. I probably attempted it about 10 times or more, all failures.
This team, which is not the most "conventional" team make up for a MoITF, I finally got the dang badge. Our team had zero support characters (no h3al0rz!!1) where the only "support" type is the Spider with the team buffs. But to make up for the lack of support, our team was a damn sturdy team, with plenty of aggro management.
I guess, it also helped that there was about 4 other team members who have been running those MoITF attempts with me previously, so we were able to learn together from past mistakes.
The team also included a few members who were not all level 50 (I think 3 people dinged during the TF), or had fully IO'd builds, but it went pretty smoothly because the team actually worked together and there was communication and follow-through. There were a total of 3 *heart attack moments* but we've recovered otherwise, and I'm proud to finally be sporting my new badge!
Next on the list is to get the Master of 5th Column TF on for Ms Ann! Given the fact that I've been running that TF ad nauseam before my mini-break, that I have a pretty good handle on how to successfully complete it.
