Empath_EU

I'd be suprised if Mesmer died. [censored] bubble.

[ QUOTE ]
I can make it, but dunno about white magus or Empath.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'll be around. Most likely on the US servers, but I'll pop over for this.

Same Hamidon releated reasons for me.

[ QUOTE ]
My personal playstyle (until I got into epics and respeced into fairly hard offender) was hovering about 5 feet above the tank, but my normal team was fairly melee-centric. Why 5 feet above the tank? because that puts you out of range of 90% of the AoE's they might get hit by, and you're in the best position for dropping aura's mid fight.

[/ QUOTE ]

Exaclty how I play as Emp. Occasionally dropping down to fire Short Circuit and Power Sink. Go End drain!

[ QUOTE ]
and as for stam, arena reference yet again. last longer / heal more / buff more / team goes longer, less downtime = faster moving grp = more exp etc etc

[/ QUOTE ]

Barring End Drain, I have never ran out of Endurance in PvP with Empath. Not once. Why would I waste three power slots that I don't need?

[ QUOTE ]
but tahts used in pvp etc ALOT

[/ QUOTE ]

What? Hover is useless in a good team PvP match. No way can you stay near your team.

[ QUOTE ]
pve you dont need to bother with it as you 'should' be capable to stay out of harms reach

[/ QUOTE ]

Sure, if you're hanging around at the back. But I like to be near the melee players so they get in on my Healing Aura. With Hover I can do that. And stay out of melee range at the same time.

[ QUOTE ]
As for AB i DID say APART from the 3 recharge reductions it needs nothing else, default amount it recharges/heals/etc is enough to use the last 3 slots of 6 for something else

[/ QUOTE ]

Well no. It doesn't need the extra slots. But they improve the power. So why on earth wouldn't I use them?

Fortitude is an awesome buff out the box as well. But slotting it makes it even better.

[ QUOTE ]
AND for stam I said its NEEDED, you'll last longer if in large fights, or against ones that take ages to kill etc etc

[/ QUOTE ]

No. No it's not. I almost never run out of endurance. I've never taken Stamina, and even back in the days when people used to hear the entire map I didn't have problems.

All that matters is that I got a kill. Woot!

[ QUOTE ]
i saw the gms just about entering the goo heading for Empath, put the shout on broadcast that 2 gms were inc, one footstomp later Empath was down, hammerfall died, then the 2nd empath died and the controller team i was in started wiping out.

i didnt see if the gms were dragged in by anyone or not but they both made a total beeline for Empath in the tank healing team.

basically as soon as the controllers started taking flak mitos spawned and it was game over.

interestingly despite being the first on the gms and unloading full attack chains into them they didnt turn to attack me until tank team was entirely whipped.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, it was pretty odd. They really did seem hellbent on killing the tank team.

[ QUOTE ]
It was difficult one but good raid until the GM incident.
Was a good effort by white magus,war man and everyone else im too tired to think of right now. THanks Jackie, Dis, PDs, erm..everybody!

Two GMs just appeared and apparently killed my Emps, and then Hami killed me. I was facing the other direction so it came total surprise to me. Never saw anybody.

I still think though that we should stack the holds a bit longer before applying enervating fields. Imo Hami started to lose HP too fast.. I have seen the so-called held-animations right before brawl phase and I highly suspect Hami was held at that stage so I dont trust those animations. Well.. Ive only been to about 10 Hami raids Compared to last one(the succesful one) we certainly rushed that stage. I got no lag or loss of target during holdphase either.

[/ QUOTE ]

Same here. First I knew of it was when a big giant leg took up most of my screen.

But good job leading the raid WM.

[ QUOTE ]
The GMs approached from an empty area well between both hills and headed straight for the healing team. No-one knows how exactly that happened.

[/ QUOTE ]

I suspect that someone taunted the GM's, then ran around to the opposite side...pulling them into us. [censored].

This is pretty much what I'd go for myself. But the pool powers can be swapped out. That's just what I prefer. You might want to consider picking up the Concealment pool, it's pretty nice for keeping aggro off your back.

I find slotting ressurect a bit of a waste, but you'll have tons of slots free if you don't care about your attacks, so it doesn't really matter.

The End Mods in Recovery Aura aren't really needed, but if you plan to PvP they're pretty handy.

Fortitude gives enough of an accuracy buff without extra slots, concentrate on defence buffs.

who won that PvP Summer thing you guys had?

[/ QUOTE ]

Well sad to say but it werent the two english servers. The French won the grand final heavy weight category and the Germans won the grand batem weight category.

The bantem weight union team that won on this server were called The Other Guys and consisted of Liability, Billy Brown, Masked Skull, Wrayth and Poweramp. Only 2 of the that team are going pvp strong. That is myself and Lady White aka Bitter Ice who I believe has crossed over to the USA with some of the other pvp'ers. Im too leet to teach ya some pvp lessons .

[/ QUOTE ]

And the winning teams for Defiant were:

Heavyweight:

Me
Rose Knight
Cryonic
Blazing Bio
Icelock

Bantamweight:

Me (As White Spectre)
Mesmer (As Hornet Girl)
Xanthus (As Stygian)
Nightbringer (As DaRock)
Funky Dragon (As Zombie Guy)

Questions for our EU friends over there (You can reply in your thread if you don't have access over here):

So, I was told a while ago that "bloody" was pretty much a curse word over there. Does that mean it's filtered on your boards?

Also, who won that PvP Summer thing you guys had? What all did you get from it?


[/ QUOTE ]
Bloody doesnt appear to be too strong a curse nor filtered, but im not British.

S4 was a pentad team tournament with multiple weight classes. Winners got unique forum titles if Im not mistaken. Who won I can't remember it was ages ago.

[/ QUOTE ]

The teams that came first on each server got:

A unique in-game title
A unique board title
2 months free game time.
A custom made silver medal.

And the overall winners (server vs server) got:

An Ipod for each team member.
A custom gold medal.

I'll be there with Empath. If you need any healers for the tank team, let me know. I'd be happy to help.

[/ QUOTE ]

ARGH, DEFENDER. YOU'RE A FREAKING DEFENDER, NOT A HEALER, BURN THE HERETIC!

[/ QUOTE ]

Ah, but in this case a healer is what is needed. Not some crappy debuffer. *ahem*

[ QUOTE ]
in the hole ime i been with coh (since day 1) the eu's most expensive prize handed out was a couple of time cards so dont expect to se any prizes close to them over here we just aint worth that much

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually, the biggest prize in the EU so far was an IPod for each member of the the winning teams in S4. So that's 10 Ipods in total.

I'll be there with Empath. If you need any healers for the tank team, let me know. I'd be happy to help.

[ QUOTE ]
Now I just need the mind troller to get there...currently halfway....so better hurry up Empath

[/ QUOTE ]

Well that's not going to be easy. I just got Granite on my tank. And 'hurry' is no longer in my volcabulary.

Jesus Archy, can you at least wait for me to get another 50 before your next one?

But grats man.

I can't believe I've been on these boards all this time and not read this!

All hail Lord Calm!

Hmm. I'm having trouble with test at the moment. I may not make it. Hopefully I'll get it sorted in time though.

If it was a 1vs1 arranged Duel, the way i see it should be all powers, no inspirations.

If you were just fighting someone, suck it up and take it like a man.

Ofcourse, when someone has around 20 Respites and 20 Catch a Breaths it does get frustrating v.v

[/ QUOTE ]

No. Any PvP fight should use inspirations. They balance it out. What's a blaster supposed to do against a controller otherwise?

[/ QUOTE ]

And then the troller pops around 10 Robusts, a medium break free, 10 reds and 10 yellows with a purple in there for good measure.

We have a Uber troller tank running Unstoppable, completely mez resistant and hitting the damage/accuracy cap.


Ofcourse your right, inspirations balance everything out, how silly i was for trying to be the voice of reason.

You can't buy inspirations in two of the 4 pvp zones for a reason.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well then kudos to the controller for getting 30 seconds of power. Oh noes.

They are cool, and it's always fun to play around with the character creator like that.

But coming onto the official boards and essentially bragging about breaking the rules isn't exactly the best thing to do.

I know that's not your intention in posting these, but that's basically what you're doing.

I'm up for this. Don't have any 45+'s but I do have the following:

Cluricaun - Thug/Trap MM
Captain Cognitive - Mind/NRG Dom
Dr Nocturnal - Dark/Rad Corr

All around level 30.

The above rules do not apply to your opponent, who in fact MUST do the opposite while whinging about even the slightest thing that may make things hard for them (planetary alignments,cats,cake,disease) and blaming the other party for them.

[/ QUOTE ]

Seems like today that 10% of the people who lose in casual PvP (1 v 1 mostly) say that a cat jumped on their keyboard.

[/ QUOTE ]

That's actually happened to me. Although I only mentioned it to my friends on TeamSpeak.

Ditto on the 50 thing.

Sounds cool, look out for the funky evil Leprechaun.

I actually really like the bubbler idea. I think we should use it on the Defiant raids. CM works, but it'd be much nicer to have constant protection.
