pretty sure i got a lvl 50 PvP IO in BB, when i was a level 50 exemp down and so were they.

WSs dont. PBs do pretty good if build and played well. think not as high damage blaster with better survivability.

I liked when teams ran storms against us because i always felt we had the beating of storm teams. If they didnt normally run storms and then ran one against us, i felt they knew we would win. We actually had some good stormies in JAL and knew how to play against storms pretty well. We pretty much stayed around the outside away from the canes, got a target came in killed it got the hell out. That was the plan anyway.

At one stage in JAL we had 2 seperate teams, one was a storm team and one was run and gun, it was at this time alot of [censored] was happening and in the end alot of people left mainly from the storm team, supposedly lead by me, not one of my finer moments lol...i dont think too many could of kept it together though, (no, really!) and the two teams kind of merged but it did mean we all had alot of practice with storms one way or another.

The Freaks flying turtle was a bit different, some of our team was apprehensive about that because we didnt really know what to expect and most felt it was really lame...i thought it was great myself.

As far as the smack talk went, it did inspire us to try really hard to beat Velocity, it was very different agaisnt them than against other teams for most of our members, it certainly was for me. They were a great team though.

We ran two rad or two sonic most of the time, except the 3 rad/2 sonic team. I wanted to run a 5 sonic team but it was deemed too cheesy lol. The odd time in the two rad team 1 rad and 1 blaster would split off from the main target callers and put pressure on either the other teams emp, blaster or rad..cant remember which but it was way too confusing on vent. We tried a sonic + grav/ff and a grav/ff+ rad too i think, memory is a bit hazy it nearly worked well but was lacking a little bite from the extra -res. Spec (not the OS one) was great on his grav/ff, so annoying.

If the other team really fell apart Pesky would call for us to go rogue, which was always fun. He would still call targets but it was fine to just attack whoever at that point.

i think there was like 30+ pages on one thread of negative feedback bascially saying everything you layed out there. There was plenty of other threads besides.

The whole thing has left a very bitter taste. The pvp changes were handled so poorly.

Yeah, i think alot of other groups had their share of drama too. Probably the main reason so many teams split off into new SGs.

There was alot of drama and pissed off people, i was on the verge of qutting for awhile myself but im glad now that i stayed. The (latter) team was close group and we did turn away people that didnt fit into the group personality wise, even talented ones.

got a nerco/storm and ninja/poison, before i13 the psn was king being able to slow and web nade, sick debuffs and quick heal was nice.

Which do you think is better in i14 between the storm and the poison ?

<QR>

I very rarely play a tank but love it when a good tank is on the team! I dont think this is the norm for most content, probably just some farm teams.

Ive been playing a MM a little recently and those npcs annoy me more than ever now.

I'd like as little nonplayer involvement as possible. No npcs and no heavies.

i solo'd every av every story arch gave me on the way to 50 as both a necro/dark and a thugs/traps and did it without io's.

You dont happen to remember if there were any AVs with no AOEs do you ? And what the easiest one you faced was ?

thanks!

Was hoping you would! There seems to be a few wierd things with pet sets/recharge intensive pets sets and actual the pets.

You should pm Castle about this IMO, ive bugged him about pet IOs too recently, lol.

i13 pvpers.
i14 farmers & MA creators.
i15 could be you.

I think you should go with the sonic/em instead.

Free rep and a chance at a good drop. What's not to like?

[/ QUOTE ]

If it is the chance for a good drop, i can understand that.

You cant really believe people dueling want to fight you mid duel...

I dont see what is to be gained other than small chance of a pvp IO and to spoil other peoples fun.

It's easy, really - anything goes in a PvP zone. If I see someone con orange, I'll attack them (well, most of the time anyways). If people want to duel uninterrupted, Pocket D is only a button click and 15 seconds away.

I know what is done and that anything goes in a pvp zone, i have already said he has every right to attack, what i dont understand is why he (or you) would want to. There is no challenge and slim chance of a reward.

I know there is a warning about being attacked in a pvp zone and he has every right to do so. It is however clear when people are only interested in zone duels, most of the time they are in a remote or hidden area of the zone. The exception being Bloody Bay where it is on a roof top and even then it is normally easy to tell who is dueling.

No, i dont, not long term anyway. Perhaps at first briefly.

Why do you feel the need to kill people not interested in fighting you, unless in a duel ?

I`m finding it much harder to sell things quickly in the BM, in WW i never had this trouble.

Pleasure.

Yes, only tier 3 unless gang war spawns at your level and takes them ? i was going off my necro/poison for (little) experience. i was disappointed, had to burn a respec over the soulbound matter.

on a side note, if gang war does accept them and does spawn at level 50, splitting the set in two between bruiser and gang war might be useful, would get +6% hps out of it.

im very new at pvping with a MM, so take with a pinch of salt.

i would drop paralytic poison...not sure what i would take instead but even acro would be far better imo. i dont really like the set choices so much. it looks like you were trying to build up defence but if you are playing in the normal zone format you will be facing BIG DR issues way before most of this defence in applied, your 39-40% will get cut too around 15% at a rough guess (ouch!). if you plan on playing with DR off it would be fine as the defence wont get reduced then.

the soulbound allegiance wont work properly in the enforcers, they only work in level 50 pets, i know it is daft but that is how it is unfortunatly, i did the same thing and pmed castle about it for conformation.

i think you should get nuerotoxic breath, im not sure how badly -recharge is effected by DR but it is unlikely you will be playing against someone with no + recharge at all, so having the extra -recharge would be a plus.

i would take web cocoon over web envelope.

if you plan on taking combat jump i would go with hurdle. (although i quite like hover & swift on MMs myself)

hope this was of some help.

Wish they would get rid of heavies and all the npcs.
