It's been awhile since Johnny took on the dastardly Council and their giant robot in the Hess TF and now he (and others) are in range for more task force shenanigans.
Manticore - This TF requires eight people to start, so it would have to be done with a pick-up group. That also means probably in one session, too. Level range is 30-35, which unfortunately means with the new auto-exemp system we would not get any XP for the TF, just the badge and influence. A bummer but I'd still like to do it (unless I've gotten the level range wrong - there is some conflicting info on it). Main enemy is Crey.
Numina - This TF only requires four people to start and the main enemy is Devouring Earth. The level range is fairly tight, 35-38 - so this may actually be a better choice to try first, instead of Manticore. If we can get a fourth to help us start, I'd say there's a decent chance at least three of us could complete it.
The Abandoned Sewer Trial - This is a partially timed trial and Circuit and I tried it once before with PU9 and Angry Carrot. We failed, in part due to a rather poor leader and an especially idiotic controller who let her pets repeatedly destroy our every effort at executing a plan. The level range is 36-41 (38 to get the trial yourself). Now, while you can enter the Abandoned Sewer Network at 36, doing so without some kind of invisibility or phase power is what they call A Very Bad Idea. I'd recommend holding off on this until level 40, possibly a bit sooner.
The Eden Trial - a timed trial that requires four people to start. Level range is 39-41, so it is a little ways off. The enemy you face is DE. Many people say this is the best TF/trial in the game, even outranking Hess. Are they insane people? Perhaps. :)
So in summary, I'd like to probably go for the Numina TF first, then have a go at Eden and The Abandoned Sewer Network Trial again. Manticore would be the lowest priority since we've already outleveled it.
