So unless they have changed it in the meantime a Player is considered a boss.. which means its 15% for a scrapper crit.

[/ QUOTE ] No. Players are NOT considered bosses, evidenced by the fact that a SINGLE hold still holds anyone without status protection...AND....my hero stats does not report 15% for crits in PvP.

[/ QUOTE ]

Maybe I should have been a little more specific..

PCs are considered bosses for power effects like criticals and stygian circle heals.

I will have to see if I can't talk one of my friends into meeting me in a PvP zone so I can check the stygian circle thing there.

[censored], hop into Siren's and wait for my Stalker to die(shouldn't take long ), I'd let you test that [censored] on me...

[ QUOTE ]
I believe that for every great gain there should be a price. I would like to see a stalker extra vulnerable during the time they are trying to execute an AS. So what ever interupts them should hit them for critical. That way there would be some risk in assasin striking other then "oh they saw me I better run away and try again." Also we should note that a lot of the stalker sets are defensive based so being a stalker in zones where tanks and scraps dont have focused accuracy is a lot safer for them and i believe FA is a +percept too.

[/ QUOTE ]

A critical? Is that a joke? Do you know how much damage a tanker is capable of? Now, imagine a Scrapper or Blaster...

My Tanker can drop a stalker to less than half HP with KOB. I've had en EM Tanker nearly one shot me with ET... Adding a critical is just insane.



And to the people trying to dissuade the anti-stalkers in the thread: They don't care about balance. They don't care if your attack becomes impossible to pull off... They just want to your stalker to be removed from the threat list so that they don't have to worry about ANY villain AT anymore.

[ QUOTE ]
I'm pretty certain this isn't the case. I've been hit behind buildings before now and I know for a fact that it doesn't do a range check like snipes do.

[/ QUOTE ]


It does the LOS check once. You have to break LOS in under 3 seconds. Like the snipes... I've had a snipe follow me behind several buildings and over a couple of rooftops in Siren's...

[ QUOTE ]
ust be a man (or woman) and don't prey on squishies. You can beat any squishy without AS, Placate or Hide.

[/ QUOTE ]


You know, for someone who can heal back 90% of the damage from a Built up crit from Soaring Dragon... You really don't seem to know anything.

I hit you with SD, you heal it, back up, debuff me, and I have to run... Well, I have to jog very slowly in place as you debuff the crap out of me.

[ QUOTE ]

Well, from my Ice Controller (Ice Slick), I can tell you Ice Patch is useless.

[/ QUOTE ]


It'll keep you from being AS'd, not from being hit.

[ QUOTE ]
Um.. don't know about multiple posting or what not, but thanks, I had missed the death knell from States.

Gee, why be a stalker when you can 2-shot just as well and probably a lot safer, with almost as much stealth with a /DA brute?

Thanks States.

[/ QUOTE ]

A Stalker can drop someone faster than they can react. Can a Brute do that?

Remember, unless your opponent has exactly 100% hp you can still one-shot them. How often do we all take a few points of falling damage...

[/ QUOTE ]

Nope, a brute can't... but a Blaster CAN. And they can kill you even if you manage to start running away.

Right...

2 things:

1. WE KNOW!

2. Isn't making more than one of the exact same post, and posting them in different forums(cross posting I think its called), against the forum rules?

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
If they do than they will need to add to hit checks to every other auto hit power in the game IE taunt,repel. On the side of fairness and balence ofcourse.

In otherwords let them cry it aint going to happen.

[/ QUOTE ]

I thought taunt was 50% chance in pvp? I could see them making placate the same, or 75%. Something like that.

[/ QUOTE ]

Taunt's recharge is what... 1/10 of Placate's?

If they remove the auto hit from placate, they should also reduce its recharge time.

Best you can do is make your skin some wierd color... Like Green or Purple...

Or do what I did and turn your chatacter into a Collosus wannabe.

There was a Blapper in Siren's hopping all over the place... and he was gunning for the only Dom in zone. So I watched his grasshopper routine and hopped down to where he would most likely land, then just spammed AS as rapidly as I could. Soon enough it triggers and as the Blapper was heading over to deal the final blow, he dies. His corpse goes flying off into a zone wall because of the momentum from his jump.

It was pure luck that he even landed near me and even more lucky that AS even triggered.



Oh... And heres another one:

A group of heroes were camped(As always) in one spot, inside of a FF controller's bubbles. Only this time, they're standing right on top of a Spines longbow boss. So I have to do that rushing past attack thing which makes the controller puts up PFF because he keeps getting smacked around. So, I use that nectar temp power on the longbow near the group of heroes. Sure enough, the boss gets confused and starts wreaking havoc on the group of heroes, in fact, the boss nearly killed a scrapper.
The funny part about this whole thing is that the heroes didn't move. They stayed in that spot, taking quills damage again and again, until my group swooped in and easily dispatched the wounded group.

In the name of the Great Blue Smurf! Why do I always find out about this stuff after I get to work?

Now I have 8 hours of wishing I was home, while torturing myself with the 'occasional' board break.

... Part of me wants to know what that is... the other part doesn't think I want to know...

[ QUOTE ]
So how do you get it?

Log in.

[ QUOTE ]
I've heard some great things about dull pain and hide but I don't play a regen and haven’t experienced it first hand. Many who say regen is gimped don't know about dull pain allowing you you take damage and still slip into hide.

[/ QUOTE ]


Theres also reconstruction and IH... Both real good powers for PvP.

IH is how I survive melee-less blasters. (Blappers can still eat me alive)

I can also scrap against a lot of scrappers, and take tankers on, 1 on 1. There are some that can out damage my healing, but most can't by the time I kill them(or someone else comes up and "helps").

[ QUOTE ]
How'd you manage that, anyways? Isn't she kinda... ectoplasmic now?

[/ QUOTE ]


In Pocket D... She looks pretty... um... pokeable? (man that don't sound right)

[ QUOTE ]
I dunno. DA doesn't really seem like a stalker set to me - the ideal form of stalker damage mitigation is defense, not resists. Though I suppose if they're putting regen in, why not.

I don't have much experience with DM, but I can say it'd be hella cool to watch a shadow maul score criticals with every punch.

[/ QUOTE ]

It doesn't crit with every punch. When it crits, the game takes the damage you would have done, and puts it all in one lump sum for the crit.

[ QUOTE ]
i hope for DM there's buildup instead of soul drain. would be kinda stupid if the powerup move for DM knocks them out of hide also hehe

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, they removed follow up from claws and gave that set build up, I don't see why they wouldn't do the same for DM.

[ QUOTE ]
For shields, I do remember it being used by one of the villains.. I forget who though, but he used it like a phase shift where he cant do anything and I cant hit him. Twas pretty neat.

I noticed the martial artist, Foreshadow, seemed to not only use kicks, but chi-enhanced hand strikes as well. Does this mean MA will be getting some energy melee animated attacks to choose from, or are we getting a different,more "street fighting" MA set to choose from? Also seriously looking forward to a gunkata scrapper, if thats one of the archtypes that's coming

[/ QUOTE ]

I think Street Fighting is actually planned. (I *THINK*. Thats not to say I am right)

[/ QUOTE ]

I think that stuff is Foreshadow's special abilities.

Like States gets that lightning crap and Psyche gets mind riding(or whatever is called)...

heres a hint, if there is a white powder on the package, DONT OPEN IT! call the bomb squad or you'll get an ambush of terrorists.

[/ QUOTE ]

What if the package is from Krispy-Kreme?

[/ QUOTE ]

Then call me... I'll take care of it.

[ QUOTE ]
And two: ¿Why no mention about their feud with the Outcasts? Both gangs seem to hate each other for something more than simple territorial issues. Yet the origin of this hate has never been explained (at least to my knowledge)

[/ QUOTE ]

I think the hate is purely territorial.

Outcasts want to control x and y parts of the city, but trolls inhabit those spots. Like animals protecting their territory, the trolls fight the outcasts.
Atleast, thats how I see it.

Dude... Every time I see your stuff, I'm totally blown away by the detail.




There is no measure to the envy I feel for your artistic ability.

[ QUOTE ]
Is it feasible/effective to use hide + stealth + hyperstealth for this problem?

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't believe that Stealth and HyperStealth can be activated at the same time.

[/ QUOTE ]

They can't. Turning on hyper stealth will turn off stealth.

[ QUOTE ]
Not anymore, that's for sure. I was just on, I can't even kill Blues and Whites with AS anymore. Looks like we've been hit with the nerf hammer.

[/ QUOTE ]

What kind of mobs are you fighting and how did you slot AS?
