Finally a chance to speed boost lots of people and not get any complaints \o/


[/ QUOTE ]
Sorry about that, Psy
Ill be there if I can make it.

Talking in general -

Personally I don't think stalkers are broken, but I still think we should remove the one-shot ability. Just amp up their survivability a notch so that they can have a fight even after they've As'ed and didnt kill opponent outright. (I have to admit I'm not sure what exactly is their survivability these days.)

It can't be that bad though.. Yesterday I was in Sirens call in TG's group (thanks for that, Tainted btw) and this one stalker taunted us by standing next to us while his "PVP on"-meter counted down. When it ran out, the stalker just vanished in front of our noses and we couldnt do anything about it.. That is so totally cool.

Imo stalkers are a cool concept and I like having them in the game.

Only take Aim or Build up early, as either will tend to max your Acc.


[/ QUOTE ]

If you dont take both aim and build up ASAP, you gimp youre blaster. This is for both PvE and PvP.


[/ QUOTE ]
Slight disagreement here, im playing PvE with my lvl 23 blaster, and while BU is godly, I dont have Aim yet. I dont see myself in any way gimped in PvE though.

Bonesmasher is ok but no better; Energy punch is dire (imho).


[/ QUOTE ]
Bonesmasher is by far the best PvP attack from enery melee. Much better than total focus.
1 of the best PvP (maybe also PvE) attack chains in the game is:
nrg punch -> power thrust -> bonesmasher.
In both PvE and PvP, I think energy punch and bonesmasher are must take powers.


[/ QUOTE ]
I agree here Bonesmasher is great.

[ QUOTE ]

Two travel powers? I always thought that was a little wasteful, but if you're taking Hasten anyway *shrugs*


[/ QUOTE ]
Movement is what keeps you alive in PvP. This guy can kill all except tanks and brutes in less than 5 seconds. Prolly closer to 3.


[/ QUOTE ]
Im fairly certain that at least an En/en blaster can kill a tank without unstop or granite in less than 10 seconds. ....maybe minus dull pain as well - but stunning without breakfrees takes care of DP. And somebody said ice is even more damaging?

[ QUOTE ]
So was I but somebody pm'd a dev about it and apparentlly the inf badges are for total earnt, not held at any one time.

[/ QUOTE ]
I have a hunch that these badges may not have been always working as they were meant to be, but I tend to agree on the "total earnt" part.

I know for a fact I got the sensation badge the moment my inf account dinged 10 million inf (at the same time). But that was long time ago and they might have been bugged then.

On comparison I know I have never had 50 mil inf at the same time and I do have superstar badge(50 mil inf badge).

AND for some reason, I got trendsetter (100 mil inf) some time ago immediately after logging into the game, not when I was earning inf.. That made me raise an eyebrow and wonder.

[ QUOTE ]
Nothing official has been said about it that I know of, although /Regen always gets nerfed.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, it wouldnt be a real issue if regen didnt get nerfed in it...

...(a joke)

[ QUOTE ]
Well i can enlighten you on that:

I'm a badge [censored]. Theres 3 epic badges for earning influence that I eventually wanna get. To do this i need to stay out of SG mode as theres no inf game while in SG mode for a level 50.

I also want to contribute to my sg tho and hence need to convert inf. However, I want the ungratefull buggers to know that i'm still actually pulling my weight and hence was wondering if converted inf shows up in your prestige total..

[/ QUOTE ]

I think you'd be even more popular if you'd donate the inf straight to the low lvl ungrateful buggers But to each his own or how you say that in english

btw.. I was under the impression that the inf badges come from owning x amount inf at the same time, not the total amount earned.. If that's the case you have even less reason to convert inf..

Good question.. I wonder if anyone knows.. Cause for the death of me I cant imagine why anyone would want to convert influence to prestige..

[ QUOTE ]
I would like them to up stalkers deff if they take away one shot kills as we will need it if we are gonna have to stand and fight.

[/ QUOTE ]

They could boost some other aspect of stalkers in the process..

[ QUOTE ]


I personally don't think it's a matter of over/under powered. I think that many people just don't like the playstyle of the stalker (no offense to the players). I think people don't like being beaten in a manner that doesn't allow them to put up any kind of fight.

[/ QUOTE ]

I agree. I think the point is not whether stalkers are good/bad/overpowered in PvP; the point is whether they reduce the fun of other AT-players. And this is kinda hard to dispute.

Besides, Im not sure if the devs have blatantly stated the oneshotting will be removed - "its being worked on" is more accurate statement imo. States said in this thread a moment ago "this is something we'd like to have" (removing oneshotting).

I stopped playing my dominator for a while cause I feel he's underpowered(mind/en) in both holding and damage.. But he's only lvl 12. I had big hopes in regards of dominators in general but..

I hope this is either a case of dominators blooming late or that devs made cov characters weak at the start so they could buff them upcoming issues instead of nerf..

[ QUOTE ]

After that, Hamidon falls, and we party to Atlas and eat some bloody christmas pudding ;o

If i've missed anything, feel free to ask questions on here, or PM me in game. (I should normally be online with Apocrypha, But i'll most likely be online with Xiro on the day of the raid at about 7pm, when I get in from work.)


[/ QUOTE ]
Wasn't there a second mito-spawn point when Hami is at 25% life? Not that Ive actually ever seen it in action, its a make or break on 50% mark anyway.
On another note, im slightly disappointed not seeing the holdless strategy in the works yet. But that can be discussed elsewhere.

What can you build out of it then?

[ QUOTE ]
So can I sell the telepads, beacons and the room then put that money toward a larger teleport room?

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, but you will need to build telepads from salvage a second time, as selling telepads means the salvage used to build them is lost.

[ QUOTE ]
If you have an uber-PvP build, you won't be very good in PvE (storm defenders and controllers, SR scrappers).

[/ QUOTE ]

Since when has SR been uber in PvP???

[/ QUOTE ]

Sorry if Im mistaken but what sort of scrapper was in winning team of the S4 final again?

Grats!!!

[ QUOTE ]

yeah whirlwind allows that as well,although i not know about the snipe since its an interruptible power.

[/ QUOTE ]

If you can snipe while whirlwinding THAT is something I'd like to see ROFL. The anatomical implications are already busting my gut. LOL

[ QUOTE ]
I haven't placed the beacons and wouldn't know how to replace them if I destroy them. How is that done?

[/ QUOTE ]

Beacons arent crafted items and simply give back the prestige and go to your edit base menu if you sell them. You can put them back with no fuss.

One small teleporter room can only manage 2 telepads and 4 beacons btw.

[ QUOTE ]
all defensive items have to be placed in a secruity corridor

[/ QUOTE ]

Or a "secure" version of a room like secure generator room, secure control room etc. These cost more than you can possibly imagine. Plus the plot gives HUGE restrictions to how many defensive items you can have anyway.

[ QUOTE ]
I always went with NB and not X-ray, xray has a slightly higher defence debuff I believe but a slightly longer activation/animation time.

[/ QUOTE ]

And also does more damage. My char has both for the record.

My way is that i dont bother to petition anyone - at least so far havent had to - I use ignore and pretend that such persons don't exist. Peace of mind.

Has anyone actually given thought to the holdless strategy? Not only does it sound feasible, it should also be a lot less boring.

I have no qualms about stalkers, even when im there alone. Then again, im a tank. Sometimes I just stand there for fun and let them come scratch my back. Not that I have much chance of taking them down either.

I have to admit i dont have spent that much time in PvP zones, mainly cause i consider PvP dull. Maybe I havent met the bad stalkers. I was really excited about open-zone PVP at first, but have been severely disappointed about it afterwards.

It all depends if you plan to attack someone on occasion and what your secondary is. I use war mace which sucks various bodyparts so I may be biased in this case. I cant imagine not having end reducers on my toggles. One in each is a base for me. I personally have one end reducer in each toggle and one in each of my attacks and i have 4-slotted stamina.

I also dont think highly of fighting pool, other pools give more variety and versatility in my opinion. I once tested 6-slotted invoke panic as a crowd control tool, it worked ok, btw. Now i can't squeeze it in.

[ QUOTE ]

3) Drag the item from one room to the other...


[/ QUOTE ]

This part is the problem. The bases currently are as bugged as an ant nest. I and some others have had trouble with this. Goonies base has had 4 telepads deleted so far cause the dragging didnt work.

[ QUOTE ]
Compare the activities of a tank to a mastermind with 6 pets or even with a brute... thier roles blur considerably. :/

[/ QUOTE ]

I agree that Masterminds(their pets, duh) can tank in PvE. Even robots, who can be forced to close combat by using GoTo command. This is good.

When I was playing mastermind in beta i had a GoTo-button bound for every one of my robots. I could finetune the formation perfectly. Nice.
