Well in terms of the easier to level, no doubt it's regen.

But for PvP, im not that sure. I'd deffo have more problems with any of my trollers against an SR than against a Regen. Nevertheless, blasters would have more chances against an SR... tanks, i really dont know which would be tougher for them

[/ QUOTE ]

It actually depends who youre against, Im slowly starting to accept some PVP'ers words about rock-paper-scissors, meh.

Good job all, it is getting easier every time and for some reason, Hami is disappearing less as well.

Heres some pics I took:
Mito clearing 1
Mito clearing 2 (In this pic it worries me why Hami is stonecaged?! )
Mitos 3
4
5
6
8
Holding phase
Death throes
Hamidone!

Sigh, it always comes back to regen.. But I must admit its the tougher of the two..

[ QUOTE ]

That is precisely why I dont understand why people are so furious about droning, but not base-snatching.


[/ QUOTE ]
Because I am yet to be killed a single time after been snatched from the base, I'm not helpless in that situation you know. Snatching from base doesnt happen that often in the first place. And Im not cowering in the base that often either.

[ QUOTE ]

Normally to get someone to drone you, you need to be sat on top of their base in enough force for them to be unable to leave, and have one or two people teleporting people out into instant hospital trips.

[/ QUOTE ]
Poppycock. I have been tele-droned while fighting in the air above the ship or above the water. We werent camping the base, just waiting in the water and certain joker doesnt even attack normally at all but continuously tele-drones people, even when the villains are not in particularly big trouble.

[ QUOTE ]
I stand by what I said, if people start calling in their friends to form mob-squads every time someone fights fire with fire, PVP will die, and it will die fast.

[/ QUOTE ]
Yes.

Im not touching any particular incident and Im talking only for myself; but, personally I don't care about debt that much. Often I have had 100k+ debt from visits to sirens call. But if someone tp-drones me there is no possibility of fighting back and it makes me 10 times more angry than anything regarding mobs.. Its the helplessness that I loathe. So far I havent experienced this sort of thing that much , but things may change.

I think what I try to say is avoid generalizations, and dont think something is ok just because it causes no debt..

Erm... this was a joke, yes?

[ QUOTE ]
I choose unstoppable at 32 and it has left me eating carpet regulary ever since, dont get me wrong it is great but how can you tell without having a stopwatch handy that its goin to run out?
Is there anyway of making it last longer?
Ive got 3 SOs in it for recharge time at the moment whats the best way of slottin it?

[/ QUOTE ]

3 recharge and everything else is up to you.

I use herostats to time it when I need, but its possible to use dull pain as a sort of 'timer' as well, since it recharges faster (about 2 mins with 3 recharges).

Finally, Maces rule!

[/ QUOTE ]

I probably need to get my head examined but I'm very tempted to start a second macer (ice/mace this time) in Issue 7

[/ QUOTE ]

If we were living in the time of I4, that combo wouldve spawned a number of men in white labcoats.. Now it might be possible to play. Hey, you could be the lvl 50 first Ice/macer on defiant?

[ QUOTE ]

Is this in I6 or based on I7 on test as I'm pretty sure a redname has stated on teh American boards that AS will soon only be interruptable by direct damage.

[/ QUOTE ]

Incorrect.

Heres a quote from _castle_ :
[ QUOTE ]

The Repel portion will interrupt AS unless the Stalker has some for of Repel protection.

[ QUOTE ]


Pop a Breakfree? Sure, you could do that; but if Brutes were smart now before engaging a blaster they should pop 1, making toggle dropping impossible. Its all about balance & tactics.

[/ QUOTE ]
Um, break frees have no effect on toggledropping (and I mean REAL toggledropping. Mezzing is different. Hold is a hold is a hold, but I'm talking about the blaster melees with built-in toggledrop ability. Of course this will all be forgotten once I7 hits live.)

[ QUOTE ]

Cold, The armour isnt great but snowstorm and hibernate are great powers. I think 1v1 cold can be a great choice. snow storm = slow and -fly as everyone knows but, snow storm also interupts snipe, heal self etc which is outstanding in 1v1s.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, Im interested in cold myself Actually I think theres more variation available in blaster epics than there is in scrapper epics..

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

[ QUOTE ]
As it stands, those small SG's for whom the empowerment stations were intended can't really make that much use of them.

[/ QUOTE ]

Why am I not surprised

And have someone use grant invisibility couple of times on you on top of hide+stealth and its as good as it gets

I have changed Goonies base around couple of times completely, but its because of attempts at raid defense. Only one actual raid so far though.

I have also built quite a bit of stuff from salvage but its just testing things for my salvagebuilt items guide.

[ QUOTE ]
I wish this was being held on test.

I'm not going to respec into a PvP build for this and ruin my PvE toon, but would happily do so on Test.

Besides the toggle dropping changes make test far more fun for tankers, you might even see some sign up.

Shrug.

[/ QUOTE ]

Hmm, if there are upcoming events on test server, maybe I should go forward with my HO-replicating plan for the test server (tongue-in-cheek semi-serious joke)

[ QUOTE ]
Think of it as if there wasnt a computer involved. The other party was sat right next to you. Still bearing in mind its all competetive, if someone says to you "Oh lawd, god'll kick yo [censored] sumting rotten", thats well in the ways of fun banter. "Im not doing so well because I put my back out humping your momma " is something that you could get away with saying to a friend, or perhaps someone who you've struck a decent vibe with. "You're such a [censored] [censored], suck my [censored] when your daddy [censored] [censored], [censored]! GANK -playername-!", followed by all that guys buddies saying similar stuff, and droning on with more of that stuff whenever you talk.

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually thats not the kind of talk I would call fun 'banter'. Especially in internet. In here people are definitely more sensitive.

Im not thinking real life equivalents, I think ill make couple simple binds like "$target, youre under arrest!" next time Ill go to sirens.. I suspect that cannot be misunderstood..

But I noticed that some people got agitated by the combination of losing and banter-binds, so I have stopped doing them, maybe I should start again to lighten the atmosphere there..

[ QUOTE ]
Wildly off topic, but still base related - aren't there any doors available? Does ever corridor and hall just lead into a room with no door or gateway or anything between?

[/ QUOTE ]

Nope, there are no doors.

[ QUOTE ]
Can someone just clarify, then, what exactly I would need for a Post I7 Base? I Mainly just want it for the Teleporters & Insp/Enhancement/Salvage Banks/Bins

[/ QUOTE ]

Teleporters still require at least
energy room+basic generator
control room+main-frame
and transport room for the telepads.

Plus you need workshop room and basic forge/worktable to build the telepads from salvage, but you can sell it once you get the telepads and swap workshop room into transport room.

If storage bins wont need energy/control as it looks like, you only need a room to put them into and Im not sure if entrance room is eligible.

Character name: Captain Skyfire
Global Handle: @Hammerfall
Archetype: Blaster
Powersets: Energy/energy

..wish I had other suitable toons suitably high..

How do you randomize the teams, btw?

And did you mix the thread locations? heh, maybe this thread shouldve been in pvp section and signup thread in defiant section..

[ QUOTE ]

Another change this time around, we'll be using a "Bubbler". This is a tactic used in the US to help people make sure they're in the right place during the mito clearing phase. Basically, one /FF controller runs Dispertion Bubble (In this case, Mesmer). If you're not inside/near the bubble, you're in the wrong place. This doesn't mean we need ALL bubblers to run it though, just Mesmer.

[/ QUOTE ]

This sounds like a good idea Ill try to be there.

Invis is gimped in pvp, unless u play a stalker

Is Illusion controllers Superior invisibility any good these days? I thought it used to be.. But that was before +percep...

See, that's the kind of smacktalk that's good - it outrageous, makes no reference to the opponent's abilty, and is almost IC, in as far as it refers to the players in-game apperance and (possibly ) habits.

[/ QUOTE ]

I personally like 'smacktalk' thats 'in-character' but its kinda rare i think..
