Firstly, showing planned slotting would help a little.

All armours should be 1 End/3 Armour (Psi can wait a little).
Dark Regen needs to be 6 six slotted. Actually, 12 slotted would be better (3 Acc, 3 Rech, 3 End, 3 Heal) but 2 Acc, 2 End, 2 Rech will do.

Cloak of Darkness only really needs one Endo - not sure the Def is worth buffing, which is what I think you're doing.

Cloak of fear needs to be 6 slotted or dropped. The power is only really worth taking if slotted up (Oppressive Gloom is better if you are tight on slots). I assume this is PvP?

Cant' make it that early I'm afraid... might see you there later.

Surely you only need Cryo armour if you're going to the PvP zones?

Good night, although 10:30 is my weekday cutoff (5am start), which is just when the heroes seem to come out and play. Before that villains seem to be more numerous (I actually considered swapping over to my 'troller at 9:30 but I only needed a bit more bounty for an SO). The zone seems to work really well when there are an equivalent number of heroes/villains - a few too many on either side and it seems to quickly get imbalanced.

Well, not quite full but above 80% for an entire mission... /kin (SB) rocks

Well, I was only on for 30 minutes or so (stupid career ) and it was very lively. Quite new to the PvP stuff but had a lot of fun. Cherry, add one more to your arch nemesisisis list ...

Need to get my final <=30 powers slotted up then I can giv people a run for their money - but if that sodding cloak of fear doesn't do something soon, it is geting dropped for Build Up, as I couldn't hit most of the heroes reliably... except Doc-Bot (I wasn't singling you out, but healers get taken out first)

Hope to see you all again soon.

You missed one. It's closely related to 'suicidal' but involves having a pet SB/Transfusion dispenser.... call it 'Lawnmower Deth' .... you dive in flailing, sending body parts flying everywhere and finish as 'mission complete' pops up, saying 'damn, full fury, where's the nearest next mish?'

I'm only at 27 myself, but so far, nope, no change.
Although I use the extra levelling time to save up for SOs, so I don't really care ... yet. Ask me again at 32 or so

Is the challenge in finding the thing in the first place or putting up with the smell?

Check your sig for details....

Masterminds kill fury. Stalkers/Dominators and corruptors (especially /kin types) are appreciated. I do team with masterminds, but typically only to be sociable ... outside of a kinetic, or more brutes, everything else pretty much slows down my XP/hour...

Look at the numbers on Union right now ...

87 MM
49 Brutes
40 Corruptor
30 Dominators

Brutes are popular - but I find COV much less team required than COH - so if I don't find a team quickly I just go solo and have a blast.

I have4 a /kin corruptor and a brute and alternate with some people who have one of each as well ... it gets very silly.

Anyone interested in running the 1st respec? I have someone hitting 27 (GenericVillain001) that I need to tweak.

I'm on from 8pm UK most evenings, so hopefully see some of you in game if you are in the same boat ...

I didn't put it round myself - I dropped it occasionally on heros when they were about to get AS'ed (I could see the stalker approaching).

It was fairly obvious by the end of an hour who the 'good' stalkers were - they were the only ones left in zone... one of them even managed to get a hit on me without me seeing them before hand, in a truly spectacular fashion that I'll be stealing for my stalker

Energy Melee stalkers REALLY hurt though

Now I'm well aware there's a couple of threads about this, but since everyone else see fit to start a new one ....

Seriously, this isn't another 'Stalkers are overpowered in PvP' rant.

I still have toons on the US servers. Lots of them. All with lots of banked respecs. Probably going to let the account lapse, so not that bothered about them. I have an Old Fire/Dev, back from when smoke grenade was king *sniff*. He even has a proper backstory, name and bio, he's that old...

So I rebuilt him for PvP, with targeting drone + leadership and all the single target blasts maxed out (+stealth). I had some advice from Syn, who PvPs a lot more than me and I took him for a spin in Sirens on Pinnacle. That's the Fire/Dev, not Syn.

Those poor stalkers. They'd get this close to someone and I'd snipe them and/or rain of fire them. some of them eventually quit, as they couldn't get out of their base without me going after them (left everyone else alone, apart from one MM who though he was safe in the base perimeter...).

Most of them were good sports and I ended up chasing one poor guy all around the zone. We eventually called it a draw and I logged.

So yes, I have a specific build that is great for single targets, particularly those with stealth. But given the paper scissors rock nature of PvP, this is not that surprising. A corruptor got hold of me and it was not pretty...

The only point of this post is to provide a counterpoint to all the 'stalkers are overpowered' ... no, they may well be over specialised, but regular ATs can stand up against them without gimping themselves in PvE...

Should you have to? Well, if you're willingly going into a PvP zone .... expect to see some people who take it very seriously.

P.S.

I had so much fun I'm seriously thinking of having the blaster moved over. Defiant or Union?

You'd like to think people were smart enough to figure out that protecting the person putting CM on THEM is in their own best interest...

just been roped into a christmas thing for the anklebiters tonight
good luck all

Mind control is unpopular because it doesn't get a pet I think.

[/ QUOTE ]

Not as much use for dominators, but with the addition of containment, mind controllers get very very useful indeed - if CoV hadn't come along I would be creating a mind troller about now... mind/energy melee dominator it is though ....

People who have played controllers tell me they lack control.

[/ QUOTE ]

I think those people are thinking back to when they were lowbie controllers ... back in I3 or so. I find the amount of control dominators have just fine and almost (but not quite) up there with controllers. The damage is also fine in teams, although containment makes certain controllers very high damage builds. I think the difference is that we're now playing "city of solo artists". Teams were easier to find in COH ... which is where lowbie dominators (the only type I have) perform best.

That would imply I sometimes turn it off

It has but you not really see it. The fact that the highest in numbers AT in CoV is the MM means there is a higher probability more and more MM's to come in PvP zones.

I'm firmly in the "leave the stalkers alone, they're about right' camp. I did say on the beta boards I expected exactly this sort of response to them (I think I even said as much to you TG)... but ...

the comment above is also based on a false assumption (all players are equally likely to PvP, so more MM=more MM PvP).

Right now, if you wander into Siren's call (I can only do this on Union) as a villain, you see 100% of villains in Siren's call are stalkers (yes, both of them).

... based on my limited experience, that's about representative, apart from evenings where it opens up a little. Even then stalkers are far more commonplace than most other toons and disproportionate to their absolute numbers in game. There are far more MMs in game than anything else, but they appear far less in PvP than almost any other AT, because unless you're very good, the key to taking one out is fairly straightforward.

Yes once everyone hits 40 and wants to get kitted out with 43 SOs, I expect to see a huge increase in the number of MMs in PvP zones (Sirens anyway). I do not expect it to last as they are weaker than most at PvP. Brutes, Dominators, Corruptors are all excellent at PvP (well I enjoy them anyway). I can't speak about stalkers, as I'm not playing him until I can make him turn hero ... and then go hunt stalkers in Sirens with him.

I would expect most people with an MM that want to PvP on a regular basis to go away and PL up a stalker alt. I do not expect to see them in PvP zones on a regular basis with their MMs. Either that or go make up a /storm ....
