Hover? Why would you want a power that makes you a sitting duck? Get something else.

Because in PvE once i hit my stride in a mission i have 2 siphon speeds on me all the time. That with 3 fly speed makes me very nippy indeed, certainly faster than running, and provides me the KB protection i need to use my kin powers.

Spent quite a while looking at my build last night and it seems i can't really have the best of both. To get what i want for PvP i'll have to sacrifice things i love in PvE, so i've decided not to spec this toon for PvP

As someone in another thread said, fire/kin is so damn good in PvE it seems a travesty to ruin it

You may have defeated me this time Scarlet Harlet, but i shall return! Muahahahahaha.....Muahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aa!!

Firstly....concept, concept, concept. I have tried "uber" builds in the past, and they have all been deleted, make a toon that looks cool, has a good story/theme and is fun to play and you will get to 50 with it.

secondly...what KIND of blaster do you want? If you want to PvP then choose a ST set with lots of extra effects. If yo uwant to PvE choose a set that will add to your survivability more.

Thirdly...consider who you will be playing with. My lvl 50 fire/fire blaster is by far the most "powerful" toon i've played in terms of upfront damage (though my fire/kin comes out in front over time and for survivability) but my regular team was a stone/fire tank, an earth/rad troller and a dark/dark defender. This is a team built for mass AoE herdage and controlerage and i had a whale of a time anhilating huge groups with this team. I pretty much outdamaged and outkilled every other blaster i teamed with...but without good backup and crowd control i would faceplant faster than anyone with the agro i cause.

All sets have their speciality and their drawbacks, how you like to play and who with will determine which will be best for you.

One thing i have to say is consider stearing clear of AR and archery at the moment, i don't use the word "gimp", but they are in serious need of help right now. Any of the other sets will serve you fine.

Note: Fire secondary only really works well with fire primary, with any other primary you will find it seriously lacking in use.

I'd say go grav/kin. I think for one they match thematically the best and kin is just a great set. It will make for a fun, fast paced character without worrying about anchors. It's also good solo if you can learn to love melee for the great self heal and self +end powers. You will also be popular in teams, in fact if you took no other powers, just say you have speed boost and you'll be fighting off invites with a stick

I have been asking about smoke myself on the troller thread and it seems the recommended slotting is 2 acc and recharges if you can afford them (for PvP). For PvE purposes it's one of those rare, lovely powers that only needs one slot to be good One recharge maybe or even an end i suppose, it's use is as a -perception power (basically team stealth for a mob) and not as a debuffer

/em regrets slotting 3 -acc on last respec (i was young-er and foolish)

The build imaginary asked you to post is pretty much what i have now except for the leaping pool. May i ask why get CJ/SJ, which supresses, instead of IR which doesn't, esp with acro as late as 49?

I think i'm fairly set against leadership, i don't much like toggles and i don't think i'll get much mileage out of it if i still can't see stalkers.

Good to know smoke is good in PvP though, i notice you don't slot for acc debuff, which i think confirms my assumption that the debuff is piddling on it (and that it now needs acc).

Before i5 i didn't have cinders in my build, as like you say FF/cages is awesome. But post-i5 i find it a little lacking on it's own, and cinders suits my melee style in PvE (used it for about 25 lvls and i've always liked it )

Don't get me wrong i'm not totally stalker-paranoid, but i think i read that after i7 any damage aura will interrupt AS and/or hide? I suppose i wouldn't have to run hotfeet constantly, just when i park myself somewhere briefly (i already have bad enough RSI without constantly jumping around in the zones, sometimes i need to take a breather )

My other problem would be fitting in hover as well as all the other nice powers b4 30 (for sirens) as i love it too much to part with it.

Can i ask how well bonfire performs in PvP? I've seen other fire troller laying down bonfire for squishies to stand on, so is it another anti-stalker tactic?

Also, i've been told hotfeet is great for PvE as it does good damage with containment. Would 3 end 3 dam be best for this purpose then? (i do exemp on occassion and lack damage before the impses).

I think (don't quote me) that it's on a par with Flash arrow, in case anyone has those numbers. I do think it's fairly piddling though. Spose it wouldn't be useless but seems there would be other things needing those slots more. Also i don't think it's autohit in PvP? Least everyone i've fought against have said it made no difference, so i can only assume it didn't hit.

thanks for the build but theres a few things that strike me about it;

1) no acc in transfusion, i'll never hit with just tactics
2) no hotfeet or repel, so no stalker protection
3) I was planning to go 2 acc 3 dam 1 end in firecage as it will be my only damage attack in sirens, but i'll defo get it, kin is better on non-moving targets
4) Cinders can be useful to stack mag so long as it hits, plus i think it would hurt my PvE alot to lose it, with my recharge rate it's up fairly often.

Isn't the tohit debuff REALLY tiny though? I'm talking in the 2-3% kinda range...

Yes, base, very interesting, but more importantly.....KITTEN CANNON!!!

Muahahahahaha!!

Hello all, i have a few questions for those of you experienced with fire control in PvP.

I am looking to respec my lvl 50 fire/kin into a more PvP friendly build. By this i mean hybrid, as i'd never sacrifice her PvE godliness So a few questions;

1) Smoke - I've never hit with this in PvP, does it now take acc enhancements, if so how many would i want for PvP ? (assuming 2). I rather wanted it to be like the nightwidow uberpower, but it seems not

2) Hotfeet - I have repel atm but assume hotfeet is the better anti-stalker power? If so what slotting would be best? Does it need acc or is it autohit? Assume it'll want end red and possibly damage.

3) Travel powers - I currently use SS, inertial reduction and hover (combat). I know IR is great as it's unsupressed but would i be better off with hover, fly and IR? It can be annoying when siphons run out to be stuck at base hover speed again, but it's not a huge problem.

4) Leadership - I can't really see the use other than the small resistances it gives (seems to be very very small) to placate and the like. I don't notice much missing with 2 acc in everything and i hardly need a little damage buff with siphon power. Also any good stalker will be running hide AND stealth right? So either way i can't see them anyway.

5) Any use for stealth in PvP? I know it doesn't stack with SS in PvP, which is annoying, so is it any use to me at all or will hotfeet be adequate repellant?

Obviously i'm constrained by the number of powers i can get by 30 (for sirens) and wont want to give up my PvE powers. The easiest thing to change is travel power as either way i'll have hover and hasten, the prerequisites.

I got a high score of 1063 on the Kitten Cannon It's the little pleasures that make life worth living (least thats what spanky says...)

I can't i get url blocked Damn work filter

You HAVE to try this game

http://www.addictinggames.com/kittencannon.html

Got it off the discussion board...sooooo much fun, even if i do love kittens

...shortly followed by blood red...

You have my full and total support...

I must warn you though, if one chip of paint is missing, one book out of place or lighting fixture slightly askew, Scar and I shall hunt you to the ends of the earth to inflict unspeakable horrors upon you...

Have fun

All sounds good spanky, how much is that secure plot again? and where are we in total prestige?

Also, good tf yesterday, went nice and smoothly.

I had a great time in Sirens last night (whch was suprising to me as i usually hate it). Went as my lvl 32 earth/emp, Rosey Cheeks, and teamed with DCs scrapper and a few others. We did really well and showed me that team pvp once you work out some good tactics (i.e. for avoiding those AS's) can be good fun So we definately need more SG PvP stuff going on, maybe an SG arena rumble? Was thinking free-for-all but then that can get to be no fun if everyone gangs up on one person (speaking as the dominator with the target on her back here ), so we would have to play nice

Hmm more like gave up after 12 coz you ran out of toes to count...

1) Grats Zanji
2) Lady i'll buy you a life for your next birthday, triple numbers now isn't it?
3) As it was pointed out Lady Necrophilia is /poison not /dark...so i've done another one;

Ok maybe not eat then...but can i have just a little nibble?


Oh and can you imagine the powerstruggles involved in merging with another well established SG? I think not perhaps.

Hurricane also has a very noticable but rarely mentioned -range effect that i find handy (and it's so annoying when a sorc gets you with it and suddenly everything is out of range.

Isn't the AoE immob in grav one that has no kb res? Hense would be awesome with freezing rain as it wouldn't ruin the knockdown.

O2 boost....yeah it's not great, but i've saved many a life with it, and i use it to buff my empaths with sleep and disorient res.

Do take steamy mist, it gives some nice res to cold, fire and i beleive confuse and slow. These are more use in PvP to be honest but a group stealth power is always nice and lets you get the jump on any mob and avoid accidental agroing.

i have tornado on my ill/storm and whilst i love it, i would kill for an immob to use with it to stop it throwing things anywhere and get the most out of it's impressive damge (on one target). Having said that if the grav AoE immon doesn't give KB res then maybe not (unless it's just KB res and not KD).
