Dont change anything until the number of cancelers becomes too high. It is extremely rare to make a time work for everybody and being too sensitive is hazardous.

if 1 or 2 cancel, it is bearable.

I'll need to be subbed I'm afraid.

I can sub, but Id like to know whether or not it will make me pass round 5... I AM still in competition so it would be nice to get into a mtach.

[ QUOTE ]
if you go from basic plot to 1.1Mp plot then to 3.3Mp plot i believe it costs a total of 4.4Mp, if you go from 1.1 > free > 3.3 do you save 1.1 Mp? i don't think this is very fair : /

answers and comments please

No, you get the prestige back if you downgrade to smaller plot first. ie. Same cost both cases. And if you buy a bigger plot on top of a big plot you only have to pay the difference in their costs apparently.

Psst. you can test this and other things at test server, cause we still get the 36 million prestige auto when we make a new SG on test server.

Ok im completely lost. Tell me, has any round 5 match been played yet?

The claws stab and pull out animation is great

I agree. MA is the same as EM. I used to joke to my friend about EM assassin strike, if you turn your back to enemy while As is activating, it looks like a butt attack *oomph*

Claws is the best of the ones Ive seen and I love claws in general. I dont know what assassins eclipse looks like though.

Ill try to be around tonight, ask me to sub if necessary (I got a new pvp build, too! )

@hammerfall

ps. If I sub and my team wins, does that mean I pass round 5? Since im in competition still but Morgan didnt put me into any of the round 5 teams..

I think were aiming at wednesday 12th, 8.30 pm.

I agree. Acrobatics is quite cheap toggle as well, I have done with only the basic slot for end red in it, even with end heavy characters. Slotting attacks and other powers for end red is more crucial imo.

Group Invis can't be made perma with 3 recharges. It may be perma if you put a 4th recharge in it since the downtime is only about 2 seconds but it would just be a waste of a slot imo.

[/ QUOTE ]

Personally I wouldnt say that 4th slot is a waste if it makes something perma, after all, not long ago we used to 6-slot things I dont have experience myself, but Im getting used to the fact that if the power isnt perma with 3 slots, it isnt with 6 slots either.. ED, bah.

[ QUOTE ]
I am still pretty much a novice at this game (been playing around 4 months) and am FAR from an expert on builds but......

Isn't ANY power 6 slotted for damage a bit like using an Apache Gunship to trim back the trees in your garden?

Also, with SOs isn't there some kind of "law of diminishing returns" thing with slotting more than 3 of em in a power?

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, 6-slotting powers for damage doesnt work in practise due to ED (enhancement diversification). In short it means that there is a sharp drop in enhancement boost after third similar enhancement, so 6 slots for damage is in practise only SLIGHTLY better than 3 damage slots. In practise its only worth 3-slotting things with similar type of boost. so: 2 acc, 3 damage, 1 rechrage for instance.

Erm.. I didnt notice this in time, did you have the fights?

EDIT: hmm ok, I can play most nights other than saturday night, and when the king of the hill matches arent underway.

Grats people!
(and I hear the statesman origin enhancements are just fake plastic Hami-Os manufactured at Singapore)

Im fine with that, but preferably not much later than 9pm, because I live on a +2 time zone..

[ QUOTE ]
My only wish is that they weren't so "Wolverine-y" :/ But yes from what little I've seen so far the animations do look cool.

[/ QUOTE ]

The villain claws look different, they are curved and infinitely more cool, but playing a villain would force to make a different type of character.

The only thing combat jumping is worth slotting with is jump height, and this happens mostly with just PvP characters.

[ QUOTE ]
I'm planning an alt based on a Werewolf character I played years ago. But was wondering, how gimped are Claws these days?

[/ QUOTE ]

Just to answer the original question, claws are anything but gimped these days. The recent animation change was wonderful.

It is called follow up and imo is that much different from build up we shouldnt compare. Follow up lasts 2 seconds longer than BU and will stack with any kind of recharge enhancement. Afaik it only gives +50% damage and also +acc (but boosts the accuracy of the next follow up ). It also does a tad more damage unslotted than the minor damage attack.

I have to admit I dont have claws scrapper myself but I have played alongside a good friend of mine for about year and a half.

In general I'd rather play any other day than saturdays.

Sure you can do it without, but it is simply no-brainer with a hold.


[/ QUOTE ]

interesting point.. didn't think about that.


[/ QUOTE ]

Well I have to admit that sappers can spawn multiples when soloing these days, but a ranged hold is still a lot better opener alternative than say, a melee attack with 20 second recharge.

And the moral of this story is..?

I mean what is the subject about? Something wrong with BB pvp?

Good to hear from you and its great that we can still continue (although I myself have only one life left so the joy might be short-lived.. I havent won a single 3vP match after I7..)

Thumbs up that 3vP will go the distance.

Thanks, I am trying to make a more suitable pvp build for my tanker with propably 6-slotted taunt (last night it was just 2 slotted with acc) but thats the stuff of another thread. I get the feeling that there is simply no way to make certain powers work in pvp. Stun with my en/en blaster for instance..

Getting an epic pool with a hold will help you solo sappers easily. Sure you can do it without, but it is simply no-brainer with a hold. You don't need energy mastery pool that much if you go for PvE. Originally It was favored because of focused accuracy allowed to drop accuracies from attacks completely, but now, after ED, theres no point.

You also dont need fighting pool that much, and unstoppable is overslotted with res, 2 is max and even that is pretty pointless. Slot with endurance recovery instead for emergencies with sappers or something.

Was that the time with me playing my tank? 2-1 to Gatlings team? :/ We had 2 tanks in our team as I recall.. I simply didnt get enough experience to make an opinion, sorry, team matches are team matches..

If I played against persons in question 100 times then I could make a better opinion..

Well I dont want to disrespect anyone so I guess Ill just be silent then.. Especially as Im so bad in pvp myself, and last night I was disappointed with my other build as well..

Captain Freon and Plight Trawler are the only ones mentioned that I have fought against, and they get votes from me. But I want to play more against people..
