Not a personal moment, but I always remember Xanthus getting in to PUG's with me on his Sonic Defender and, upon being asked if he can heal, he just replies with 'Yes. I can run around and give you respites.'

Granite is overrated.

They can still be taken down by a good team, unless the tank itself has a good team backing it up. Mind you, if the Tank's team is good, go Invul or Ice, hell, or Fire (maybe )! None of the Debuffs associated from Granite.

Rad has issues in big teams or big maps. Nice for smaller matches, mind.

I'd prefer a /Kin troller over a Kin/ defender, personal preference. I'd say Emp and Sonic are the strongest PvP Def sets, with TA coming along closely though not for the same reasons. Storm and Dark are funny, both can do well, but those sets are much better geared to PvE.

Eden simply cannot cope with the 80+ people we get turning up to these open raids

Not meaning to but in, but does it really take that fewer players to topple the raid on Union? I'd of assumed Union'd be running on the same Hardware as Defiant, but if that's the case, something's amiss.

Movement is the best defense against most stalkers because they're not skilled enough to get an AS off on a moving target. However, it can get boring because many simply don't try.

My advice would be to find a Sonic/ Def or a /Sonic controller or an Empath and do some duo'ing, you'll have +perception and some nice buffs to aid in taking them down. Hell, Force Field's also help to a degree!

If you want to solo grab the IR goggles, jump a little bit, try and goad them in to Scrapping with you, maybe bring some Insights for the +perc too.

PvP Pliz. Base Raid pliz.

Congrats man, long time coming! Thought about that respec?

I think the issue is Dom's don't suck in teams, but rather have some issues solo, and while CoX is an MMO, the Dominator AT looks in powers very much like a set that is supposed to be self sufficient.

[/ QUOTE ]

What do you mean with that its supposed to be self sufficient? It has no shields, no damage reducers, no defence? I dont see how dominators are in anyway self sufficient.

[/ QUOTE ]

They're as self sufficient as Blasters, which with the right build can be very self sufficient, though do pale in comparison to so called melee AT's.

What I'm saying is, that Dominator's, as with the other Villainous AT's, seem to have been geared more to accomodate to Solo play over their Heroic counterparts and it should in some aspect carry over to PvP. Dominator's have Control and Damage as their design, couple with powers like Drain Psyche or a PB/Aid Self combo (yay, lets debate that again) and they should be pretty hard to drop, but they're not.

Now, it's either that pretty much every dom I've fought sucks, or it's that the AT isn't performing as well as it should on paper.

Time and date please. Atleast 3 days in advance or I wont be there.

Likewise.

As far as I know the bug is still present.

But I also kinda want to get this over with.

Word.

yes, we'll just summon one at will shall we?

We can manage it just fine.

lol, I was sure the mantra of most PvP'ers was 'it's not the toon, it's the player'

(And before Xanth or Stalk get smart, I know that means i'm screwed regardless of build )

[/ QUOTE ]

i'd take a good player with a 'bad' toon every time over a bad player with a 'uber' toon

[/ QUOTE ]

Exactly, more people need to think like that!

Quite spooky you've done this, as a few of us are currently in the process of making a PvP SG over on Defiant!
Good luck with it all!

[/ QUOTE ]

I find the idea of a PvP SG interesting. Very interesting.

Let either myself (@Extremus) or Xanthus (@Xanthus) know when you think you're ready for some PvP action!

[/ QUOTE ]

bah we've been trying to get u defiant boys to fight us for ages i seem to remember u agreeing to a 3v3 but havent heard anything since

[/ QUOTE ]

O RLY?!

Consider this a challenge to a 6v6 on the Test Server in a few weeks.

I too was brainless, not having Xanthus to remind me.

Oh, btw, the one spawn point thing is a bug afaik.

build does a huge lot dude :P

In the right hands, yes.

Good ol' Red's finally hit 50 on his BS/Regen, Space Gambler.

Gotta say, it's taken a while, and almost 48 hours non-stop grinding, but it's been a hell of a ride.

And you still owe me 1 Mil Inf from that bet, DAMNIT!

I'd like to challenge Force Of Immunity to a PvP fight on the test server. Name your times and your terms and we'll be there.

I'm sure Retribution would like a pop at you as well.

[/ QUOTE ]

We're a start up SG at the moment. We have a couple of lvl 50's that have been moved over and are solo PvP builds or PvE builds waiting PvP respecs but we've not even really PvP'd together yet so think it's a bit early for us to be accepting challenges, I don't think we even have a Defender in there over 45 at the moment let alone PvP specced!

Don't worry, I'm sure if it takes off, you'll get plenty of chances to show our lack of team experience up

[/ QUOTE ]

Any level. Any team size.

Thought I'd mention that. :P

Right. You know why people are suddenly playing things like /Regen and Brutes so much in zones?

Because they nerfed Toggle Drops so hard they're virtually redundant in fast paced PvP.

Funny, some pointed out that this would happen when they announced the changes on Test before it even went live.

yeah but we're not american so our opinions dont count

You have a very good point there.

I got an incredibly amount of (rather explicit) abuse in Warburg the other night because I three shotted a Brute. Now, the reason of the abuse?

He could be bothered to turn his toggles on after zoning in to WB. Sorry, if you stand still long enough for me to get BU>AS>Placate>Total Focus>Energy Transfer off on you, then you've enough time to toggle up. Hell, you've got 30 seconds of immunity to do so!

I then killed the MM he was 'dualing' against, who wasn't running Bodyguard. More abuse. I miss the one shotting of squishies. :<

Aye.

Oh, just so you know Kin, if Regen Aura is up (and active, IE, you've dropped it) the +Regen negates AP's -Heal, so you can spam it all ye want.

In PvP you need Heal and Range as a priority.

Range always nice to have too

You mean Recharge, right?
