Powers typically dont work the same way and/or dont have the same numbers in PvP as they do in PvE.

OP: Beam>AR

Fireball has a 1 second activation time, Firebreath has a 2.67 second activation time, so while Firebreath might be doing more damage per activation, it is not doing more damage per second. Firebreath also only hits 10 targets while fireball hits 16. Aannnndddd fireball is typically a staple part of your single target attack chain, especially if you are a corruptor, where as if you used fire breath on a single target you would be hurting your dps unless you were recharge debuffed and had nothing else to use.

I'm not saying it's bad, You can get good mileage out of fire breath in many situations where you need a follow up aoe to your fireball, but Fire Ball is your staple go-to aoe for its ease of use and activation time, not the ever slow fire breath.

I don't really understand the hate for keyes, its fast, its not hard, it basically has 100% success rate, and gives 2 emp merits. I does require alot of coordination, but really that just falls on the lead and people actually reading chat (god forbid). It is easily my favorite trial by a long shot, now if only it was run more so long in depth instructions didn't have to be given every run and it'd be golden

Also for some reason every single master trial run posted on these forums is on a sunday, which doesnt work for me as its my day to spend time with rl friends, so gl with the runs as usual, hope its successful.

You would need at least 1000 hits for a good test.

A /Time corr can do the same thing with any primary.

It is absolutely doable and has been done countless times in the past, most specifically by fire/mms.

Slotted Drain Psyche from mental manipulation does -500% regen. -Def isn't necessary, blasters have access to obscene amounts of +tohit, fire is your best choice for primary for the sheer damage it does, sonic is capable of pulling ahead in teams, but for solo play the -res isn't going to beat the damage of fire.

Yeah, before GR, dev stance was very firm about heroes not getting poison ever, just like villains not getting empathy ever. However, with everything that has been done since then with removing the distinction between hero ATs and villain ATs (especially now with freedom, you can start all ATs on either side), there isn't much of a reason not to give empathy to "villain" ATs, and poison to "hero" ATs.

Mind Probe is better than Subdual, by a significant margin (better animation, base damage, and can slot the hecatomb proc).

I did not say pets were useless, I said they were ineffective in a fast paced environment. I could spend the next 30 minutes writing out a long list of situations where pets fail to deliver and spend more time listing situations where they can function as well as other power sets, but I'm not going to spend such time.
Team tp is terrible.
Waiting for a tp defeats the purpose of playing in a fast paced environment.
Corrs have plenty of time to dps, and many corr support abilities further increase dps.
Taking aggro off team mates is silly, unless you're on a low level team, theres no reason that should be necessary.

I still group with MMs frequently because I have friends that play them and alot of people I pick up to fill incarnate trials play them, and I play my own MM occasionally, but that doesnt change the fact that TFs run with MMs are almost always slower than TFs that are run by the same people not playing MMs, does it mean I won't invite MM's? No. But it doesn't make it go any faster.

But I digress, making my point is a lost cause, as clearly most of you havent played the same endgame I play, which is fine, to each their own way of playing, it doesn't change the way I view MMs (which is being a very poor choice for an AT for the way I play, which is running content extremely fast), and it doesn't change the way you or anyone else views them either for the way that they play.

Of course you will always be contributing as long as you aren't afk or off fighting things that dont matter; but lets say you're on a corruptor or defender instead, then you would have no issues doing both support and damage in any situation, in this case you will be able to contribute significantly /more/ to the team than only being able to bring support when your primary isn't capable of being effective.

Thanks man

Did that include hasten/enhanced values? Would this be enough?
Blaze/smite: 322% rchg (196% global+126% enhanced)
Midnight Grasp: 300% rchg (196% global+104% enhanced)

As fiery enforcer said you are comparing yourself to bad teams, try comparing yourself to good teams, try seeing yourself on an MM on those good teams being effective at completing objectives as well as your other team members who know what they're doing, and running past and ignoring mobs that aren't important. Your pets will die, they will lag behind, they lack the same kind of burst damage that other ATs have to effectively complete objectives quickly, accurately, and consistently.

I have an MM, it was my first level 50, and I've played it extensively, as well as playing 2 other MMs up to 50 briefly, and by that I mean actually playing them, not powerleveling, because MMs are great soloists and leveling toons, but as soon as they hit 50, and get on a good team with people that know how to play well, theyre just not going to be as effective as other ATs at keeping up in a fast paced environment, and I deleted my other MMs for that reason. I've played in both casual and high end environments on my MM and while they can hold their own in a casual area of play (quite well, they're incredibly easy to play), the faster your group goes, and the better the people you play with get at completing objectives, the less you will be able to contribute on an MM on such a team. It's just fact, it has nothing to do with your or any player or group of players its just the design of the archetype that they don't perform well in fast paced environments.

cause being able to solo on SOs +0x8 (which any AT can do) and AVs is what is important, i9 came out a long time ago bud, oh, and those things called teams.
