Just had a go at States TF, we succeeded with a less than ideal team in that we had no debuffer, and overkill in other areas.
We had Stone tank (me), invul tank, 2xfire/kin, grav/FF, 2xbubble/? defs, blaster.
Mish 1 - Outdoor map, Grandville - the Fab. Need to destroy a load of objects and then take out Arbiter Sands
Mish 2 - Recluse's Victory outdoor map via lab map, trick with this one, if you leave the RV map due to being in future, you can't get back to it. Take out Regent Korol, Shadow Spider, Magus Mu'Drakhan and Viridian (separately).
Mish 3 - Basically this is like the last mission of the villain respec with the vines and the psionic tree. It drops a temp power that expires in 5 hours of real time which you use in the next mish called power of the thorn, it only drops one of these.
Mish 4 - Lab complex via Cap outdoor map (with lots of toxics and Mu guards for the BWs among you). First find the key by defeating the right "Security Chief ?" then go into lab and defeat Ice Mistral, Barracuda, Silver Mantis and Wretch (separately). Then kill doctor Aeon who summons several EB clones of himself (and can resummon them). Dr Aeon is invulnerable to all damage unless you use the temp item on him, which renders him vulnerable for a while.
Mish 5 - Outdoor Grandville (area where the shop is in front of the main arachnos building). Kill Ghost widow, Mako, Black Scorpion and Scirocco (we got the first 3 at once, diplomat badge), depends how well you pull. Then kill Lord Recluse (end of TF, can't remember badge name). Also present are the flier (which you can take out) and 5 towers which buff recluse like crazy in different ways. What you have to do is take out some of the towers and then take recluse down (the one that heals him 3000+ hits every few seconds was a prime target). Bane spiders drop from the flier, Recluse summons some executioners and repair squads arrive to work on the towers.
Quite fun to do, took about 5 hours but could be a lot quicker, AVs are 52 except in last mish where they're 54s.
