Mind/ff used to be quite good for team pvp. In fact it was that good that even Mesmer looked decent when playing it . Wish they fixed force bubble

Sorry to go off a little wayward from the OP. When you say it's broken is this the problem that basic SS or sprinters can get in to melee you as the 'ticker' to repel opponents is so slow or something else?

I use FB alot in PvP on my grav/FF and although not fantastic it seems to do an ok job or is there something I'm not aware of?



[/ QUOTE ]

Basically you don't even need ss to get into melee distance with it anymore, which kinda nullifies the reason to go /ff these days. Still, I love my fire/ff no matter what it's so much more cute than mesmer's ugly bubbler ^^

Fire/Fire is orgasmic

WB u noobzord!

And don't despair when you see how things are going

I think I can try it on my fire/fire blaster if that's cool

2 of them quit team, run the map, and then invite them to the team to farm

IMO you want everything from FF apart repulsion field and bomb.

For PvE I'd also skip detention field and force bubble

*Got a fire/fire blaster called Spanish Inquisitor, with huge load of text binds added to powers *

Amagad, another? how many are there already?? Gratz btw

Well obviously with your 'funny' builds you won't kill a troller with your blaster, but it's not that blasters can't or shouldn't win, it's just your 'funny' builds which makes it hard. About the 'copy & paste' thingie.. well yeah, we all play alike, smashing buttons and that... and yeah we try different variations with our builds too, and come up what works best. That is what you could also do if you had gone past 35, according to your sig

Don't get me wrong, if you are happy PvPing that way kudos for that, some others prefer some slightly higher standards in PvP than fighting a team where troller holds make a difference, that's all

You forgot the final 'not'

Ah yes because we all know that Controllers name have nothing to do with Controlling their real name is actually Defenders-with-nerfed-primary-that-is-a-secondary-and-a-primary-trat-does-not-control-just-suck-end-better-spendt-healing [/sarcasm off]
[Sarcasm On] Darn, something about this post keeps switching it on...[/sarcasm off]
Empathy allows the OPTION of being a heavily supportive, not a law-enforced need to.

[/ QUOTE ]

Given that you seem to have PvPed an amount of times I can count with just one hand, I'll try and be a bit clearer.

Holds are useless in team pvp, no matter what. Every PvP team will have 1-2 empaths and a sonic that will have the whole team mez protected forever... and I do mean forever.
Illu/empaths are used in PvP because they get superior invis without having to sacrifice a pool for that, nor a prequisite power. They were way fashionable pre-IOs because they could heal/buffed while invis, while defenders couldn't. Every single decent illu/emp PvP specced will focus heavily on the empath side, and just use their primary to get some good set buffs. That also goes for any /kin, /sonic, /ff and any secondary you can think of, when it comes to team PvP

Hilarious, really

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, truly hilarious.
Now it's fairly obvious that this is an attempt at being funny, as such complete ignorance of and disregard for bacic AT functionality can ONLY be an act

[/ QUOTE ]

Once again I'll try and be clearer...

My Storm Defender managed to take one out in the arena just due to Endurance drain from Lightning Cloud, and the Regen was properly slotted and had way more +recovery than necessary from bonuses.

[/ QUOTE ]

I can stand under lighting cloud with my rad defender with 9 toggles on, some of them as enddraining as EF, while spamming attacks without end problems at all, so just the simple idea of a regen propperly slotted and with +recovery bonuses being drained out of it is HILLARIOUS with capital letters

Hahaha!

No wait...

Mwahahahaha!!! Hadn't laughed so much at a post since Illusion Master's guide

Which is easy to achieve.. what about when IN granite, tho? Besides, set recharge? it. Besides we are dealing with a non sets build afaik

[ QUOTE ]
I would get hasten a lot earlier.

[/ QUOTE ]
I am guessing Dark_Blasphemy was giving an example of a lvl 50 respec

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, not really.. . Hasten isn't as compulsory when it recharges once every 2 months imo. In fact I got it at 49 cause I didn't find anything better to get.
Before rolling my stone tank I also thought about getting hasten as quick as possible, as I do on all my toons, but really, I found it quite meh with so much -rech

9) Pair up with a dominator, to take advantage of your critical against slept/held foes.

[/ QUOTE ]

Oh you forgot about to have a good laugh when placating a boss too

[/ QUOTE ]

Hehe, I acutally mention in my guide about being careful when using placate when you have squishies around. Fun if they have annoyed you though

[/ QUOTE ]

I know of a domi in particular that would react like the crazy German kid

Ok thanks very much guys i think i am sorted now. I wouldnt mind if there is anymore info on the ice power pool if thats ok

[/ QUOTE ]

Ice is the most used epics on blasters for PvP these days.
As all the other epic sets, it priovides 4 possible powers, which are:

Snow Storm. A toggle that dramatically slows down the target and all the baddies surrounding him. It's a superb power power for PvP since it's -fly, -50% run speed, -50% recharge and -50% jump height. Combined with powerboost (available for /nrg blasters) the -rech and -speed is capped (cap is -90%, iirc).

Flash Freeze. An AoE sleep, not really useful, I'd skip this one.

Frozen Armor. The epic shield. I don't like much the fact that it's def based, instead of res (well it does grant some res, but only to fire and ice). Good thing is you can slot a LoTG on it, tho, even a kismet if you haven't placed it on cj alreaady.

Hibernate. A panic button life saviour. You can use it to replenish ur hp and/or endurance completelly. Pretty good as it's up quick quicly after some slotting up. Quick animation and uninterrumpible

[ QUOTE ]
Anyway, aren't Controller and Dominator mezzes double magnitude in PvP?

[/ QUOTE ]

No, only dominators in domination get that . In PvP trollers and domis holds are mag4, just like when they crit in PvE (they are usually mag3)

And no, force is not the best set for PvE and PvP. For PvE I'd go fire, force or elec, for PvP i'd deffo go Ice, mainly on an /nrg blaster.

The only explanation I find if all you pointed out is correct (no inspies and such) is that he was using perma parry and you all tried and hit him in melee distance. No AT should survive alone vs 2 players tagging alone, let alone 5.
