Blaster vs. blaster fights are always good fun whichever way they go

[/ QUOTE ]

sure they are! most of my favourite and most fun fights are with blasters, although i don't get that many, don't get that many against anything tbh :/

apols if you're elec/nrg gatling, thought u were /elec, but it has been aaaaages (duh, *looks at your avatar*)

Plight

P.S. for any pvper out there who isn't sure about insp stocks, if you don't know your opponents sets/build then take enough BFs that, if they are the nastiest combo within the AT, you can still survive, once held we're all screwed

For those in the king of the hill PvP event please check the thread on the PvP board, the time is going to be 7:30 pm on sunday 9th july 2006.

the original 6 should be there although please sign up here if you want to be a sub, if we dont have subs we will just lose more i imagine :/

tbh i dont PvP with many people, this is mainly because i duel mostly, and mostly on defiant so tbh i'm not the best person to ask, i also look at people as opponents rather than people until they really stick in my mind. so without further ado, from a mostly solo PoV:

Blasters

Jag
Captain Freon
Gatling
(no offence but the icy blue guy (name?)(psydock i think) performed poorly against my 44 onion spec so doesnt cut it for me)

Trollers

Lt. Keith (any troller)
Imaginary
Omega MCX (more to do with him having TK tho to be honest, not many trollers fight)
Talin le Thaed (AWOL so barely counts)
*not* Osiron, not meant to be a dig, but from a solo/from elec blaster PoV he doesnt understand me as an opponent enough for me to put him on a list (i'd comment on more of the other names but dont know them)

Defenders

Powernova
Elerith
Decibellion
GL Jaz (he beat me a few times)
some dark guy i fought but cant remember who, pre single pet and ED though

Scrappers

Nightbringer
Aburame
Chives/Hobojack
I wtfpwnz j00 (for the fact i fought him at a very low level, we'll see)
Sechs (any of his/her scrappers)

Tanks

Novocaine
(no others that i've fought stood out but i havent fought any of the international tanks 1 v 1, i've fought tanks that pwned me, but not for any other reason other than they were had GA or were EM usually, i would put some1 on this list even if i beat them if i thought they were exceptional)

Plight

the fac tyou brought 6 BFs is why you totally went down hill after you ran out, imo that was a 'stupid mistake', not saying your stupid at all though. being out of BFs with more than 15 seconds to go is gonna get u stomped on as we who are here all well know.

i did acknowledge that you have respecced as i remember you said, and i dont expect our next match to be anything like the last tbh, i dont even expect to win. blasters are the most lethal thing you can face imo.

looking forward to some good matches in future though

Plight

u might think that, but we are both elec elec, as balanced as you can make it barring that my build is solo and his is team

Plight

i know gatling respecced and we are still trying to arrange a rematch, but... i did walk all over him on test last time we met. teamwise im not special

Plight

ello ello, new poster? Give us a name?

Plight

well egen, it may not pwn, but the idea is to get it to 50 as a group, once there, there are plenty of other toons that can be used from the existing alts and mains. and besides it supposed to be fun, im all for dying lots

and to those who are less familiar with the keith, he isn't trying to get MAAAAAD, he is just trying to sort this out, and i soooo understand how hard it is to sort things out. keep up the good work mates.

I fought a Grav/Emp tonight. First with insps and I won 8-0 then we fought without insps and we drew 6-6. Are they gimped or am I just uber .

[Edit] Just realised there was no point in posting this, but I did anyway [/Edit]

[/ QUOTE ]not being funny but they were prolly the worst controller you've fought or they were watching TV most of the time.

Plight

took me 808 (or was it 608?) i think not to mention the first 1400 before i rerolled from 44 ... : / ...

Plight

i did some testing with trix shots today, and the bestg pvp blaster sets are definately not AR/dev

as for pwnage of the ill storm troller, very few blasters ive seen have the skill to take a troller down, i can manage some, map abiding, but id say freon is most likely to mash your head in every time , not that he's about much any more :/

for my blaster personally, it falls down against ice nrg purely as ice nrg has a handful of powers worth slotting for PvP, whereas my blasters is slightly pve friendly and has faaaaaar more tricks than just a few slef buffs and uber dmg, elec has a few more powers to 6 slot so comes in a close second imo. (think im trying to say that if u slotted the pools of an elec blaster to match those of an ice nrg blaster you would be left with a lot less of elecs utility and i wouldnt enjoy that so much)

Plight

Grats on 50 matey, go you etc

Plight

RAR Uber grats to Cambo for getting Tridento to 50, his first afaik

Been a pleasure having you about matey, a worthy addition to the team indeed, I just hope this marks the start of many more alts to play and have some fun with.

GL with the kheld and the robo medic, bring on the dev's common sense and expainding SGs (*prays*).

ooo im all fuzzy, yet another well desrved ding . I always thought u should have a gun :s

You must have 'oonagi' or whatever Ross from friends prattles on about. Because i dont know how you might know how someone hovering 120 yards above you, outside of your view is launching a snipe...

[/ QUOTE ]

Snipe range is 150 yards and with boost range this goes upto around 220 I believe. Havent properly tested it since boost range was nerfed though...

[/ QUOTE ]120 iirc for snipes at base, and its feet not yards

maxed with boost range and 3 SOs its about 312 feet

Skipping most of the OT stuff.

I have an NRG/NRG blaster and he does just fine against any AT, some better than others. It has a nice cross between range and melee.

With any build it comes with its own flaws, so keep that in mind, everyone dies at some point.

PvP in general, movement can make or break a fight.
Know your toon.
Stock up on the insps you'll need.
Stamina and Tactics a must. Aid Self depends on you.

Hope this is mildly useful...

[/ QUOTE ]agree with all this apart from tactics

Plight

I'll come up mrs, Jaz said he'd think about it too, I hpoe Nova will come too.

CAN THE PVPERS READ THIS PLEASE . clicky

Plight

guys please sort this out, at the very least email or Gtell keith ingame, but tbh if u can manage that then you can PM him.

thanks

Plight

P.S. Jazis gonna go afk a while with RL, but he'll post about that soon

u better be doing some TFs with us laust u big n00b

I'm just sick of people saying is has poo range, it doesn't. Erhm you know u can jsut run behind an obsticle or wall when u see someone snipes you.

[/ QUOTE ]i actually did my deep ,monotone huhuhuhuhuuuu laugh at this, and the fact im ill didnt help

its true, in zonal PvP you want avoid this tactic without oonagi, although in duels its rare some1 snipes me, that may be because most duelist blaster dont use snipes tho. and getting behind objects is a nice trick, although if you use that trick when firing snipes in pve the reverse is true for the hit.

talking briefly about this outranging thing, i have fought jag probably more than any other blaster, whenever we take it to melee he tends to win due to FoN, although when i try and keep at range, even with only 2 rubbish recharge attacks and a pet I still manage to win and barely get meleed at all. what's more i dont have SS, only SJ. The thing here is that nrg/ has only KB and /nrg has only KB and stun, neither are any use against a fast person with SJ. what makes the difference? elec has far more utility at range, drains and holds, this allows me to wear somes end and BFs down whilst not really losing any of my own insps. for the same reason ice/nrg would beat fire/nrg imo, fire would lose massive DPS through stacked -recharge and once held and out of BFs, well i hate to say it, but no one on this thread is going to stay at range once they know th opposition is crippled are they? (and if they say 'i only have ranged and buffs from /nrg thn they are gimped, heavily, for pvp and pve, and this isnt an opinion its a fact i have my GCSE english language and theres no way a heavily slotted ice/fire primary and nrg secondary can be outdamaged by a build with only primary damage slots).

on with the debate, luminous and i are going to test at some point but when we both have time

Fire? Easy set to play? Not really. You have to learn how to control aggro like no other blaster, since early AoEs and DoT means you get A LOT of aggro.

/em points at gankatron's debt cap.

Now, that is for 2 reasons. 1) I've never actually played a fire before, so a good deal of it is my fault. 2) From the other blasters I've played (only 1 got to SOs), I've had no aggro problems. Whereas fire is a walking aggro generator

Also, Elec was most fun and best to play, for both PVE and PVP. Ice comes second, but that could be the fact I chose the /ice secondary.

I really wouldn't count Elec primary out. It's a far better fighter than Fire, which is aggro from hell in PVE, and lacks control in PVP.

Although Fire/Energy is tremendous fun to play. Aggro everything! Smack them all!

[/ QUOTE ]you can stop rambling now Seri

although ther was some truth in what he said

*points to the PvP part of the forum title*

Plight

then i suggest someone else sets it up for you by mid july

Plight

seeing as only nrg/ blasters have nova i imagine it to be a lot less devastating than you imagine .

not that i use TB, but elecs have thunderous blast, yes that's right, yet another tier 9 blaster primary that isn't called nova. thought you would know this being fire / fire

Plight

you telling me end drain is useless in team pvp? or stuns and holds? i cant help but disagree, whilst against the best pvp teams out there the only kills you get are through pure dmg and spiking, in a more casual team a blaster can take advantage of their utility. not every team huddles with an SSing empath stealthing about to prevent any deaths, the more casual teams as i say will stray, and then u essentially have mini 1 v 1s going on.

then theirs the slows from ice blasters, stack with slow from kins and troller, drains from kin and dark, immobs to help containment. sure utility's effectiveness wains later on in teams but its still there.

Plight

sound sound, whatever, im just rambling anyway. u make it, i'll be there etc
