Besides the -recharge and a minor -dmg (you tank, not scrap)

This is my view on my GA tank - I use him a lot for non exemplar work i.e. STF, AVs etc. What I tend to focus on is that you are a Stone tank - You are there to take the damage better than anyone else; that’s your role in a team.

I planned my GA build around the premise that I would never be attacking for damage - for example all my attacks (minus a couple) are 6 slotted; 2 acc, 2 rech and 2 taunt. That is what the attacks should be doing attempting to get the aggro of the more squishy types. (Fire epic is what I have on mine - it is slotted for range, acc and rech since it doesn’t take taunt)

But that’s just my view on a GA stoner, I’m not saying this is definitively how you should play yours but it is how I like to play mine.

Whenever im in PvP I tend to ignore the abusive comments people broadcast and if they are directed to me my usual come back (dependant on situation) is "Go email the devs; and give me a marking out of 10 how much attention they give you" Harsh maybe, but its better than insulting people and renforces my view of PvP is what it is - obey it or leave.

In regards to the empath situation - whenever I see one on a team, I make it a point to remove them asap since being a stalker their CM buff is leathal as many of you know - but I enjoy this as it makes PvP a bit more 3D so to speak.

Sounds great! count me in!

Well after Mum's creation of the new Union Chat channel today, I felt it would be a good idea to post up on the forums about the new channels which are in use on Union now.

Union BadgeHunters - The age old channel, recommended for anyone interested in badging (or even if you’re not)

Union Auctioners - New channel created on the break of i9, this channel is for the private selling/trading of items and Invention related queries etc.

Union Chat - New channel created by Mother's Love today just for general off topic chat etc.

To join any of these channels put in either:

/Chan_join Union Badgehunters

/Chan_join Union Auctioners

/Chan_join Union Chat

Cheers all and see you ingame!

Ah yeah I was in that also (Lightning Falcon). Yeah it was unfortunate you didnt come back as we did manage to get it done.

@Darkwave.

Lightning Falcon - Elec/Elec/Elec Blaster

Its is very easy as Ov said above me. All you need is a strong leader and a player who knows how to use Invis and TP friend correctly.

As long as the leader can explain what they goal is and what each person has to do you will be fine.

Missed me *sniff* lol na dont worry. Was a great team very efficient, would be glad to more TFs with a team like that.

I bet you can now see why theres gonna be a 4 hour limmit on salvage drops

If you have any drop outs im up for it - Lightning Falcon - elec/elec blaster.

@darkwave.

Personally this is one of my favorite nukes in the game.

This is how I run mine (elec/elec):

Aim + BU > TB > pop a blue > short circuit > power sink

You have end from the remaining mob members and they have zero works everytime.

My TB is slotted - 3 53 DMG SOs and 3 53 Rech SOs.

I have an Elec/Elec/Elec Blaster at 50 (check sig) and I have to say it is a late bloomer, however if you stick with it it can be very good in teams - just ask my team last night >.<

Anyhow, this is essentially my build - was respeced for PvP as such but I dont use him as much as Id like.

Hope that helps for reference

Upon reading this thread I decided to roll a Dark/Fire Brute and I have to say im not a fan of Fire usually (in any AT etc etc) but even at lvl 6 im loving this toon hes just pure pwnage with fury up

Hello again all, Ive looked and found that I was using heroplanner not character builder (this one) so that has fixed a few problems.

Anyway, Here once again is my latest version . TBH I have never had Elec mastery before so Im not really sure what to put in Shocking Bolt + Grasp. But from your comments I think I have done it 'correctly'.

Once again thanks for all your help with this

Cheers for the reply Nefarious, as I said eailer ive never really used a hero planner before so im really not certain on what im putting in lol.

I will see if there is a new version of hero planner out and I will get back to you with the new build.

Thanks again for your help.

Personally my view is that defiance can really save your [censored] in pvp only, especially in duels it can sway the battle in your favor.

In PvE I have found it serverly disapointing. I find it hard to use the inherant because I retreat rather than risk debt. Because I tend to find faceplanting is very easy with my blaster

Problem is with that build im very tight for slots but i think it works.

Ok heres my new proposed build

Ive decided to go for medicine and get rid of fly in favor of SJ with its def+

Comments please

Thanks for the reply. Just read the threads you linked and the 3rd one seems to of helped me a lot.
[ QUOTE ]

Lose health for hurdle (try and slot as many (upto 3) jump and run speeds in them if you plan to duel in the arena).


[/ QUOTE ]
TBH, I am more interested in zone pvp with a bit of arena, so would this still apply?

[ QUOTE ]

Shocking bolt wants an acc or 2.


[/ QUOTE ]

According to hero planner this power doesnt take acc, I can check on my toon as I went for fire mastery first time round.

I’m just looking over the build again and I’m beginning to think that I should maybe looks at the healing pool since most seem to benefit from it well in pvp.
I’m, also debating on the concealment pool as well trading it in for the +def powers in the SJ set.

Anyway I will revise my build and post a new one soon.

Ok well My Elec/Elec/Elec blaster is currently at lvl 46. I’ve just finished the 3rd respec, (with a great team might I add) So my current build I have had some success in pvp and coming towards 50 I’d like to respec to make this toon more pvp oriented.

So here is my build - I’ve never used the hero planner before so this time was my first.

Please disregard enhancement levels
