The incarnate pets do insane damage, utterly insane. What's more..they have a recharge value, meaning you cant have them out all the time. Sounds a lot like a temp power to me. Of course you can get technical, and call them Incarnate Powers.
Videos are cool though.

Also, what's your reasoning behind the maps you've chosen?

I mentioned the 5% that I considered "hardcore" PvPers, which are those that PvP is the reason they play the game.

I also mentioned an additional 5% that dabbled in it occasionally. That number may be a little higher than I estimated, but that number is a lot harder to quantify. Do you count if you participated in zone PvP a couple times, or if you fought another player once? Casual PvPers are a lot harder to identify than the hardcore.

I don't think the hardcore PvP population ever got higher than 6-7% at it's peak. Like I said, 5% of 120,000 is 6,000, and even at PvP's peak I didn't see enough people participating in it to accumulate that kind of number. I you average that out it's a little better than 500 PvPers per server, maybe a little skewed toward Freedom and Virtue. I don't know about you, but I never saw enough people PvPing to add up to that number, taking into account non-peak hours as well. I mean, if you see 25 in a zone on Friday at 9 PM, it's a bit of a stretch to assume that there were 475 at different times throughout the rest of the day. And casual PvPers making up the difference seems unlikely.

I'm not 100% sure I will be participating in this, I'm not big on dueling, especially after incarnates, and am busy with managing the Freedumb PvP League.

That said Freedom RV is boring, and I would like to meet some of the Victory PvPers.

Also I would be transfering a toon for this if I did participate, from Freedom, probably only 1 if any.

ALSO I'm very very against dueling with incarnates, anyone who challenges me if I participate will be asked if we can duel w/o them almost every time, but rules are rules, I won't turn down challenges if we are using incarnates.

Sorry for the follow up stuff, dunno if that's something that you want or not Masque, just wanted to clarify those things.

Thanks for running this btw Masque, I will talk to people and see if I can convince anyone to sign up from Freedom PvPers I know.

Also I would suggest you signifigantly lower the legal maps... The only maps I consider truly viable dueling maps are Cargo Ship, Graveyard, and Perez. On most of the rest of the maps if people really want to they can just run and hide for 10 mins, which even if you count SD wins as wins, makes for very boring matches.

To the question of 'why claws/electric rather than claws/fire', I'll try to make it a bit clearer.

While the mission itself is capped at a level where you can only use the powers of level 6 and below, any timed/duration buffs you have in effect when you enter the mission zone remain in effect until they expire normally. This is why you are spamming the inspirations before you run over and into the mission after all.

So if you pop Hasten just before you click on the mission entrance, once you are inside you are still Hastened, even though that power icon is now dimmed and unavailable to click. When the timer for the Hasten buff runs out, the buff drops as normal. The Electric secondary offers Energize (regen boost and endurance reduction) and Power Surge (massive damage resists) which are used to pump up your Brute before entering the mission (as is Hasten).

While /fire has a slightly more damaging aura, /electric offers useful buffs later in the build, which is why it is the preferred choice between the two.
