Oh hey, two Defenders and one Controller.

Balance for the win.

i can hold thru acro, even with the one hold i have at40, i just didnt see the point trying to get u with it, when i have a better chance to put u to sleep or stun in melee.

its great in pvp, but i hate empaths with SS

Plight

[/ QUOTE ]

You need to stack 2x to go over Acro as a Blaster now iirc, but yeah, I know you can stack that easily enough. Shoulda spammed Electric Fence, I was hardly using CJ.

Actually, I really shouldn't of said that...

[ QUOTE ]
LOL, did I even manage to hit you at all, Carni?

All I remember is trying to find that bloody defender of yours who seemed to disappear at will, before saying aww sod it and then trying to hit you.....which I could barely do with that damn storm of yours

It was fun, honest.......no, seriously....I mean it, i really do!!

Anyway, my scrapper will be ready for the next tournie, i hope

[/ QUOTE ]

You know what the best thing is Coin?

I was Group Invis'd TWICE that whole match, most of the time I was visible. Usually with Plight on my tail.

That was annoying, I'm just glad he was a Blaster because his holds just bounced off Acro.

Stupid Hold change.

With all due respect, we fielded teams almost every night. Not always possible for 8mans, but we pretty much did Pentad all the time.

[/ QUOTE ] iirc defiant turned up twice for pentad after spending a while levelling new toons and never turned up to 8man
[ QUOTE ]

We just stopped because we were sick of some people whining all the god damn time, it simply wasn't fun for us.

[/ QUOTE ] no1 whines at the international pvp and im glad ur not there now if thats ur attitude and i was under the impression half ur team stopped cos of whining about i7 coming out

nothing against the guys i've teamed with over the last couple of times as they have a gr8 attitude along with the majority of guys there on monday night

[/ QUOTE ]

We 8man'd the first night, and one or two times after that. And we Pentad'd every Pentad night from when they started.

And my comment about whining was made in haste, for the most part the people that turned up were all great. Just in my opinion some people where taking it a tad too seriously, we played for fun and when people start arguing about whether or not Tactic A was 'fair' or not kinda takes the fun out. In my opinion, if a tactic stops an entire team in one fight, I'll think about it and come back the week after with a counter. Not complain because we couldn't do anything about it.

And yes, we disliked (and still do) the toggle knock changes because, in practice, they're too far. At least in our opinion, but it's not why we 'left'.

[ QUOTE ]
to be fair defiant havent fielded an actual team for monday nights in ages and have only done so once or twice, we usually team up together against vigilance these days anyway

Oh, and as for HO Farming? If you do that, you've just lost a lot of respect in my eyes. Yes, they're usefull. And yes, I'd want a lot more in my build. But I certainly won't dupe them simply to 'win'.

Elerith on Test has less Hami-O's than Elerith on Live. I may update her in a few raids, and I need to tweak her build too. But I sure as hell wouldn't max out on HO's 'FOR TEH WINZ0RZ'. For a start, it's exactly why HO's were nerfed in the first place from 50% bonus, to SO levels.

Another succesfull raid!

Nice one guys, good one.

[ QUOTE ]
Insane animation time dude. A squishy can pop a couple of respites, use a self heal etc in that time.

[/ QUOTE ]

In Sirens at lest, BU+AS+ET will drop anything but a Tank or a Scrapper running Dull Pain.

Not forgetting that ET is an almost gaurenteed Stun, making Total Focus easy to pull off if you're A) Good at getting your attack chain going and B) have a team/buffs.

When you can't?

Ice/Kin is more than capable of bringing someone to the slow cap.

[/ QUOTE ]

Doesn't help if you're Webbed/Impaled/Slowed yourself though

[/ QUOTE ]

BF's or CJ help with the Immob, and as for the slow, it happens. If you've been slowed badly enough to not be able to get the hell out of melee at all then Brawl sure as hell isn't going to help.

[ QUOTE ]

I don't unless I think I can kill them. But you want to drop two or three toggles with brawl? Seriously? Because, in that much time, most people would've killed you.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, with 2/3 good hits, my buddy standing over me has a far better chance of Pwning you

[/ QUOTE ]

And if you were teamed with another villain I wouldn't ever recommend that you move in for brawl, it's much easier just to spike them.

[/ QUOTE ]

Which is why in my first post I said to always stay at range; brawl is just for those times when you can't

Autobrawl is there as a last ditch attempt if they come in close. De-toggle is far more serious than Scourge to most Melee's. Three slotted with recharges and they get worried.

[/ QUOTE ]

A one-in-twenty chance to toggle drop wouldn't scare any of my Melee toons. At all.

2x Damage on the other hand when I'm already low on health would warrant some concern.

[/ QUOTE ]

2 or 3 toggle drops with Scourge and then the follow up with no defence might though; and if you're low on health, why are you charging a Corruptor?

Imaginary wants me to post this for him, and seeing as it's no bother, I shall.

Don't Auto Brawl, what ever you do, don't do that. It's got too small a chance now.

Basically, keep moving, stay at (some) range. Always move in for Transfusion even if you don't need much healing, keep Siphon Speed on him. You'll REALLY want CJ and Acro, sadly it's basically become a must have for PvP. I don't like taking it on my toons, but I don't like falling on my [censored] even more.

The biggest thing is, not only are you squishy, your front load damage isn't going to take out anything but another squishy. But if you've got Forge on you, you'll hit so much harder you won't want to play without it.

Oh, and kill steal like crazy with Scourge. If something's low on health, shoot at it!

I'm only posting because he made me!

Seriously though, I doubt the PvP zones will be safe for villains for ever, I think he enjoys splatting them too much to go for good.

[ QUOTE ]
Indeed, I think Brutes are gonna rock in post-I7 pvp world.

Still gonna be a right pain to build up Fury before rushing into a fight, sadly.

I don't really mind being insulted, I mean, if someone takes a personal dislike to me in a PvP zone I just kill them more.

If it is getting to you for whatever reason, that's when /ignore and/or leaving the zone come in to play.

I would like to say that friendly banter/smack talk is a fun addition to PvP.

Ignore the info that says it's disabled, that's only saying you're not in a PvP zone. You can PvP in Arena just fine.

The thing with you being kicked out is a (stupidly) common bug, happens to all of us now and then. Your best bet is to simply try again, it'll work eventually.

[ QUOTE ]
I dont play these kind of battles in the Arenas (yet) so am not au fait with the dynamics but wouldnt a decent Granite tank with the presence pool be a boon? 3 taunts and damn near unkillable.

[/ QUOTE ]

Apart from Granite being -dmg, -recharge, -spd, yes. Even with a Kin and speedboost, it's got some major downsides.

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
I think empaths are just like tanks..you don't REALLY need em but it can speed up things a lot..


[/ QUOTE ]

so you dont need either tanks nor empaths to team with you?
would love to see you handle an av or a gm without either´of them.

[/ QUOTE ]

Nine out of ten times my SG does that. Hell, sometimes one of our members goes off and solo's the AV while we finish the other mission criteria.

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
... and the confuse from that made me unload a shadow maul/smite combo into our own blaster before I realized what was going on.

[/ QUOTE ]

but, you said you were buffing my damage!!

Also, while it's a funny tactic, it doesn't work. As a damage dealer in S4 I never bothered learning people names anyway, I just kept pressing the target button until a squishy AT came up. I only looked at Icons, not names.

[/ QUOTE ]

This does, of course, make it incredibly fun to team with him when we're only fighting non-squishies.

Chances are the PD's won't show up in force.

Some of us are taking a break considering the way they've handled RV and the toggle dropping issue.

On call and raring to go.

[ QUOTE ]
Alot of people who regularly pvp take tp foe, how does everyone slot it?

Just curious has anyone 6 slotted it and how effective do you find it?

[/ QUOTE ]

Taken it on Elerith.

It's a fun power, INCREDIBLY situational though. I mainly use it for teleporting Stalkers while they're in hide for the 'What the hell? h4x!' factor.

I've got 3x Acc and 3x Range in there, all 53's, and it still misses quite a bit against anyone with Def/Purples and you need to be pretty close.
