Rant - No Damage on high level TFs
I did my fifth Statesman TF last night and I failed again.
I know a fire/kin is probably not the best toon for a STF, but I want the badge on this guy, so I asked the leader if this powersets are okay for his team and he said yes.
After I joined the team I had my doubts... I was the third controller, also teaming with two defenders (dark and rad) and one stone tanker. A scrapper and a blaster came a couple of minutes later. I asked the leader via tell if s/he's sure we got enough damage (imo we didn't), but s/he just mentioned we'd have so much debuff and s/he succeeded an all defender STF last night.
Okay, let's give it a try I thought; at least I'd make some prestige for my group.
No doubts, this team was great. We wiped out anything, even Dr. Aeon and Recluse not-so-fantastic Four. But we failed terribly on the big guy because of the lack of damage. We didn't even manage to destroy one of the towers and this shows again that debuff is not everything.
I succeeded one STF with another toon with much less debuff in 2,5 hours due to the bigger damage output before, so I think I can compare that.
You can do other TFs with such a team, but not if it comes to the big ones like STF, Lady Grey or the Imperious TF.
When will people ever learn? Or learn to listen, at least?
I just know I'll rather leave the team if I see it's not well balanced than giving my time to that (I don't want to say it was a complete waste because of the influence and prestige).
And I really wonder why the Recluse TF is so much easier than its Hero pendant.
