Any idea how long this will go on for? as some of you know i leave for university on saturday and friends (yes i have RL friends) have arranged a going away party at the local 'Chicargo Rock' to watch a 'Pussycat Dolls' tribute, Fun! i have to leave at 9 so hopefully the vigulance match wont go on for longer than that!

It is about 100 to 1 bet that all such events like this will drag LONG. Especially with huge teams like these.

What kind of mix of ATs do you need for a raid?

[/ QUOTE ]

I think pretty even, except tankers arent needed... I wouldnt mind trying it, I havent seen the new hami except in the rikti tf.

Can you guys stop this spamming [censored] now, ok? It seems to be everywhere I look.

I guarantee that there are individuals that fulfill the expectations as well, but but the problems really stem from the options that are: either we get a random group, we lose, and we dont have fun (at least I wont) or we get a decent group that might have a chance and fighting would be enjoyable, but getting that group together seems too hard in the present circumstances.

If I got motivation I might try to put together a defiant team and pass tactical lead to Xanthus, who I acknowledge to be much better than me in leading a pvp team, but I doubt PDs would even accept to play in that team.

In any case the fight would most likely be random chaos which I so utterly despise. I've never been much a fan of team pvp.

EDIT: TG you form the team.. k?

Not bad.. providing you like fighting with teleport. If I were you I'd at least squeeze hover in there to aid with teleporting.

Also, remove 2 endred slots from stealth, add 1 endred to invisibility if you intend to use it, and put a toHit buff or two to build up. The passive defbuffs are pretty inconsequential so maybe slots from there.

Energy punch is a good attack, especially for getting that last bit of health before enemy heals itself. It has very very fast animation, but then again so has energy transfer. But up to you.

At higher levels it will be impossible for you to 'scrap' unless you are running elude.

The reason khelds dont get a power with mez already in it is because we get mez from our inherent power, which does unfortunately mean carting around 2 or 3 trollers for all around mez protection.

On the plus side, a team of 1 Pb, 2scrappers, 2 blasters, 2 controllers and 1 defender would give the pb 40% bonus restists, 20% bonus damage and mez 2 protection all around, which s'alreight. Who needs a tank when you can get a pb that can nuke and still have better resists all around

[/ QUOTE ]

Mag 2 protection? Am I supposed to be impressed? A scrapper unyielding for example is mag 10+. It is also without proper damage aura, no gauntlet and toHit check in taunt.. Phaugh.

[ QUOTE ]
To OP post i can't think of anything a stalker would bring to a team that is necessary or or other ATs can't do better.

Atm i run a new team with fire/dark draggin 2-3 grp tar patch and aoe begin from team.

We use stalkers at lowér lvl as teamfiller to get bosses each pull They have zero use for the team and i tell them so and just stay back not to [censored] it up. But i guess they hare happy enough beeing 5 lvls lower getting insane exp.

[/ QUOTE ]

Why play other types of characters when one toon can clear a 8-man invincible team missions by itself.

Answer: Its a game. People are here to have fun. Leveling is supposed to be fun, not hard science.

[ QUOTE ]
You tried asking those on the CoX pvpers list Xan? theres like 20+ defianteers on there

[/ QUOTE ]

Im pretty sure we could manage a team of 16 COH defianters, but whether it would be something Xanthus would be happy with is a different issue. Would be too much scraping together the required ATs, really, so little synergy there. I was going to post about whether this was happening cause my motivation was dropping and I forgot the date already. Looks like I don't need to bother then..

[ QUOTE ]
It's not a hijack if the original topic is finished

[/ QUOTE ]

You should start new threads for other issues..

The bug (enemy is still able to attack stalker after being placated) still happens in PvP. I have never seen it happen in PVE though. PvE mob hitting stalker during placate will screw up the hide, but the mob still loses aggro.

go MA/Regen, it's the best PvP scrapper imop

[/ QUOTE ]

This.

or a MA/SR with perma-elude.

[/ QUOTE ]

Perma-elude is not much different from no elude in some fights... Granted, it is still good.

ps. I created my MA/regen during time when spines/regens were FotM and I just considered MA better. So no complaining about me making toons FotM

[ QUOTE ]
claws/sr is by far the best pvp scrapper EVER IN COH.


[/ QUOTE ]

Whaaaaaat

Unfortunately this is not always a viable option. Firstly, the opponent has plenty of time to go for your duo partner (and may cancel your AS attempt by running away from you at the same time).


[/ QUOTE ]
Do you actually play stalkers?
a.) AS is not interrupted by distance, only if they break line of sight.


[/ QUOTE ]
Do you actually play stalkers? All in all I have around 100 levels of stalker experience with half of that coming from my lvl 50 stalker.
I can't be bothered to even try and count the times my AS has been interrupted by so much as a twitch on the side of my target. True, AS should only be interrupted by breaking line of sight and I have had some funny 100 yard assassinations, but unless you have never attacked a moving target you must have noticed that this is not always how it works.

[/ QUOTE ]

That is exactly how it works, and I have not witnessed any exceptions. If you move yourself or fall down it will be interrupted.

I also dont see why this would be offtopic, since apparently for these reasons Im argumenting against you would deem a stalker an unsuitable companion in a team.

I also have some measure of stalker experience, as you can see from my signature. My stalker is also built entirely for pvp.

Secondly, you might get hit by your opponent's friends during the long animation of AS, thus wasting your Placate.


[/ QUOTE ]
b.) placate also has stealth element, which will hide you from the enemys friends, provided they didnt already have aggro on you (placate only removes aggro from a single target). If there was some AOE going on etc then the others will leave stalker alone most propably, and I play a defense based ninjitsu stalker anyway, so its a fair bet they wouldnt interrupt me anyway.

I don't like this constant arguing about which server is better. Make toons on both and see for yourself I say.

[/ QUOTE ]

how in the slightest is this arguing over which server is better? all i see is ppl saying they want a democratic vote on which server should be the pvp server...

if u make a pvp toon on each, by the time they get high enough to pvp it wud be a huge waste of time for 1 server

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, and my pvp toons are on defiant, and its unlikely for me to get high enough toons on union without the server transfer, so making union "more desirable" ie. "better" will make defiant more empty. Therefore I will be left with less pvp.

[ QUOTE ]
Most pvpers do read forums.

[/ QUOTE ]

No they dont. Forum poll is not a representative of the majority. Stat.

And a poll would not change my behaviour in any way regardless. Leveling toons is a long process for me, and at the moment I dont have suitable toons on union anyway.

I don't like this constant arguing about which server is better. Make toons on both and see for yourself I say.

Teleport foe in my opinion needs lot more slots if you intend to use it in PVP. At least 2 acc SOs worth and range. Id slot my own tp foe SO-wise, 2 acc 3 range 1 recharge. Maybe get rid of the set ios in caltrops, leave one recharge in there and move the rest of slots to tp foe. Tp foe with 1 acc in PVP is useless.

PBs have phase shift power, quantum flight, just like warshades have nebulous form.

[ QUOTE ]
Basically you will need invincibility plus tough hide to negate the -defense from unyielding

[/ QUOTE ]

This isn't entirely true, since scrapper unyielding debuff value was changed so it is in line with scrapper tough hide. It used to be true though but that was long time ago.

To the OT, you can never overrun Tanker taunt with your own invincibility taunt, so keep that in mind

For PvP It's hard to use SJ vs others fly, unless you take web grenade or you have smth like Impale from Spines power set for -fly(which I don't have on claws).

[/ QUOTE ]

While it may be hard, its entirely skill-related issue I think. I have never had much trouble to combat fly with SJ, unless they are purposefully escaping.

Brutes got from primary
Fire Sword, Scorch, Cremate, Build Up, Incinerate, Breath of Fire, Fire Sword circle, Greater Fire Sword.

Somewhat more than what blasters got ^_^

I have just made a fire/fire brute which for fun I intend to make work in pvp. The Fire primary of brutes seems at a glance be loads better for pvp than fire secondary of blasters. Which is kinda shame.

I think that blasters fire secondarys best attacks would be fire sword and fire sword circle (which hits hard despite being a PBAoE). Ring of fire may also be useful.

You can have fun in PVP even with censored toons

[ QUOTE ]
Oh yes - I always slot 2 Acc SOs regardless of the primary, you can't have enough accuracy.

[/ QUOTE ]

Same here. I cannot tolerate anything less.
