Congratulations Ducky, I believe it was long in coming.
Time to do it harder next time and roll a Kheldian

Just to add some more accurative anecdotal evidence to my "Stalker's can't level for toffee" statement, I've been levelling my blaster all weekend. I got my Stalker out for a hack at one point, got wasted within seconds, and realised there and then that the Blaster would have made very easy going of that mission.

As I said, Stalkers have one good attack, and after that they are reduced to very-sub-par Scrappers. The ability of a Blaster to do consistently more damage, and keep away from the (often more damaging) melee attacks makes Blaster's far superior at levelling.

I can only assume that Stalkers were created as a PvP class from the outset and their PvE capabilities have suffered as a consequence.

You could of course deduce that there is something to playing stalkers that you don't yet understand.. (that came out as nicer than I thought..)

My own claws/nin stalker leveled 1-32 in 5-6 days with a ~4 hours playing each day. All except about 3 levels I soloed. And this was without any double xp. Im not saying that they are completely equal to other ATs in all respects, but leveling shouldnt be a problem. It's just that a change in playstyle is often required and some people thrive and some do not. Stalkers arent for everyone

also you wont need bfs for immobs.

Come again?

ps. indeed, lose stun.

I'd love KB on sonic blasts, but I guess then all the energy blasters would get annoyed.


[/ QUOTE ]

Im annoyed by my own KB attacks mostly..

I reckon you might have trouble blapping with that build cause you don't have superspeed.. Superspeed and follow allows you to get into close range quickly.. Whenever it is applicable at all. Power thrust could use second acc in case youd ever want to use it. Unless you want to go for more ranged approach, in which case combat jumping and hurdle would need more jump slots..

[ QUOTE ]
Something like a Tier 2 Inspiration bin, needing some Salvage and costing another 100k would be usefull. Same goes for an Enh Rack.

[/ QUOTE ]

Could be something to build from salvage..

Yup, atm its the only zone where I cant switch >_> But I recommend normal servers.

I would go as far as to say it always takes place at the arena, the RV events havent taken off yet on test server..

[ QUOTE ]
I suppose there's meant to be some weird sort of balance, but the second two weakest, Power Blast and Ice Blast, have somewhat higher endurance cost, with Power Blast having longer activation times (though not as long as Mental Blast or Hurl Boulder).

[/ QUOTE ]

Think its because they have secondary effects slows and knockback

[/ QUOTE ]

Whats a junk secondary effect like knockback got to do with energy being weak? Balance weak with weak? >_>

[ QUOTE ]
and beating up prisoners is hardly heroic.

[/ QUOTE ]

But we get a badge for it?

[ QUOTE ]
Just got my first 50 and deceided to make a WS. Since I obviously never played a Kheld before I was just wondering if they suffer from end limitations like all other ATs and requier stamina.

So will I need to take stammina to be able to pay my WS full out?

[/ QUOTE ]

Kheldians suffer all the same limitations even more than other ATs..

Minionless mastermind could however maybe be played as a defender-type of character. They have nice secondaries with little minion-specific stuff. Not something Id recommend though. This just shows how 'pre-designed' the devs made the COV ATs.

[ QUOTE ]

Its also worth bearing in mind that not all sgs are like this. I knew a few that gave base access to its members without being a leader. I would also point out that not being a leader and having base access isn't out of your sight. There is nothing stopping you joining a supergroup and working your way up to base access.


[/ QUOTE ]

Uh, base access or edit access? Not giving entry permission to all members sounds weird and harsh to me..

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
OK so is everyone ok with the plan? I will log in a bit early on the test to create the global channel.

And no volunteers for the sg idea? should we scrap it?

[/ QUOTE ]

Think the global channel idea is the best

[/ QUOTE ]

Global channel idea easiest method to collect people on live servers, although I personally dont have any room extra channels.. and I know im not alone.

[ QUOTE ]
Also the rechg and duration of taunt is not offering much in the being flexible to handle aggro and keep damage of teams in various team make ups especially under -rechg circumstances with +lvls.

[/ QUOTE ]

Can you clarify this a bit? I dont understand what youre after here..

To answer your question:
I am the co-leader in SG that I was one of the founders of (the Goonies), same for the Alternate Goonies, and two cov SGs on both defiant and Union. I have base entry access to... uh... something like 7-10 different SGs (mostly in coalition) with different alts.

Offhand I can remember having full privileges in Goonies, Alternate Goonies, Rise of the Defiants (union VG), and Most Wanted (defiant VG) and could get full privileges to Goonieatrics (our SG for retired 50s) if I wanted to, but I don't have characters there.

Goonies don't have a designated leader, rather the founding members and few long-time players do things according to general agreement, discussing things on coalition or goonies global. However base-designing has been left to me.

Ps. because it is impossible to fit all our (even just active) alts into Goonies, the whole SG business has grown dry and Goonies looks very abandoned . I know its not because the players arent playing, its because they are spread over servers and different SGs.. I was so hoping for the SG size change.

2. What is the range?

[/ QUOTE ]Depends on the power, see here.

[/ QUOTE ]

Are you saying that the diameter of the gauntlet AOE taunt effect depends on the power?

[ QUOTE ]
"Healer" Sounds like someone who's main purpose is to heal.

[/ QUOTE ]

To you maybe, to me it sounds like someone who 'can' heal.

Grats Trix!

[ QUOTE ]
Aid self will, in most cases, up your survivability more than the passives.

[/ QUOTE ]

Not really.

[ QUOTE ]
The "healer" thing is silly, Empath's get 3 heals, 1 Res and 5 Buffs.

[/ QUOTE ]

The terminology has always sent me scratching my head. Where does it say that 'healers' only heal and are unable to do anything else? (I know where this term is from but still). For me it marks the ability to heal in a practical way, not whether they are healing at all in the team or only buffing or attacking..

To choose your own set of gladiators for the match, click an arena terminal and 'own gladiators' button.

Then you can arrange a gladiator match (its a certain type of arena match).

[ QUOTE ]

This idea came about from the RV/Heavy discussion. Underpopulation of RV was stated as a possible reason for it's failings. The general idea was to get a lot of people together (including people who do not usually PvP) in RV.

I can't speak for the OP about his intentions but a lot of people who have signed up for this are not the same bunch of people who pvp in the arena on a monday.

[/ QUOTE ]

a.) arranging it on test server is..self-defeating goal because you'd be aiming simply to get higher amount of participants when people from both servers would join. The result would not say much about state of RV on either server alone.

b.) arranging it at the same time as the test server pvp night cannot be anything but damaging to both events. No matter which way you look at it.

[ QUOTE ]
I've already run a Recluses Victory event on Defiant in the past that went well and as a result am organising a monthly bash at it (RV Saturday, last saturday of the month) on Defiant.

A weekly one is too much for my tastes, but if people want to give it a go then good on them!

[/ QUOTE ]
Arranging that on coming saturday may not be best of ideas because of the double xp weekend.. Most PVPers are propably PLing day and night.

[ QUOTE ]
But an inkling of where this might happen could help.

I DON'T have a 50 on Defaint AND Union .

[/ QUOTE ]

You need to be only 40 to get to RV.

ps. I recommend against arranging this on monday or sunday night, because those days most often host either test server PVP night or Hami raid on defiant.

Having this on test server also defeats the whole purpose because it excludes all grinders.
