yep all the stealthy ATs (VEATs and Stalkers) belong to redside. As a blaster you will be spotted and killed.

the +perc is not a proc and its not a globle auto so you should put it in a toggle.

if you are facing a player like urself who has over 40 points in KB protection, 2 of ur powers has gone to waste.

If you choose to go with power epic, Keep TI but you can drop force of nature is it kill only add ~5% more res.

If you chain your attack with Aim BU, Power Thrust, TF, and snipe, then your other attacks, this maximized burst dmg for an nrg/nrg blaster, giving you the highest chance to kill a squishie beofre he gets away.

Those who Phase and stick around are either trying to 'taunt' the other players. If you Phase turn on invis and run for your life, you have about 97% of escape. If you PFF and try to Aid Self you have about 50/50 chance.

Grav/FF is not made to annoy its made for something else... If you really want to annoy people, go with Earth/FF, Earth/TA Earth/Therm, Merc/FF/Mace, /Therm/Mace or /Cold/Mace, Mind or Grav/TA. Most importantly, the Playstyle and attitude that is the most annoying thing not the build really. I would run in throw down patches, KUs, Debuffs, or whatever annoying thing you have wait till he phases or hibernates (then quickly run away)... find him 30 sec later, do the same and watch him die... he will know exaclty what caused him to die like he did. Is this the most efficient way to kill? No. does it make people angry and come after you for no reason? Yes.

Some of you may disagree... but my case and point is the character Twixt who was for the most part a DM/Regen with all four travel powers.

and how do you have 131.5% damage boost? or is my mids trippin' out?

He has a build up proc toggled on in tactics.

Oh no wonder... if the OP wants extra damage, get rid of these Procs and just but in damage procs in attack powers. I would recommend revising the slotting in them to adjust for that.

Ur going overboard on the KB thing. power push and repulsion field is too much... all you need is power thrust and learn how to use it is all. Assault need end redux not recharge. U need a phase type power... aid self and PFF will not save you much. and how do you have 131.5% damage boost? or is my mids trippin' out? I'd pick up TF instead of Power Push. If you have to have it Slot Aid Self with lvl 50 Numinas' or Doc Wounds. Rectified Retical can go into Tactics so the +perc will always be on.

Stalking in RV is SOOO hard, especially on Freedom.

All the heroes are ALWAYS at full health and never stop to attack anyone, or get mezzed.

It's almost impossible to get a kill on a solo stalker.

Any other AT will have more success scoring kills than a stalker.

Is this the fiction thread?

No? Please disregard the above statements then.

I'm a noob stalker (didn't start stalking until the last couple issues) and their damage may be less than it was previously, their survivability may be less than it was previously, but stalking is still EZMode.

All players can achieve substantially higher Killeath ratios on a stalker than they can on any other AT. Bad player, good player, doesn't matter.

^ This....^^ this and moar This^^

I like this paragraph from the article;

"The professor was disturbed that game rules encouraging competition and varied tactics hardly mattered to gaming community members who wanted to preserve a deeply-rooted culture."

Yes, who cares about what the devs do to the PvP game, and we should not care about Twixt or Meyer... Let us defeat each other efficiently and with out emotion over and over with out fight clubs or other arbitrary rules. (not being sarcastic)

[ QUOTE ]
Hmm, the impression I got from the in game persona of 'Twixt' was certainly not an objective professor.

Heck there has been many a time where he went off the deep with 'base is safe', 'moar phase', 'arean boys'!

[/ QUOTE ]

Twixt's persona would have had me at moar phase, arean boys, and cry moar plz... and i would have joined in on the 10 year old's broadcast immaturity BUT after further observation and hearing the "base is safe" made me apprehensive. That and his play style in PvP was way too methodical and systematic, which lead me to believe that he was very intelligent, but had a capricious personality. Anyhow, The phrase "base is safe" told me one of two things... he's a douchey 24 year old international student from Dubai who couldn't make any friends, OR a 38 year old who'd lost his job for having cyclothymia. I guess i was wrong... however i remained indifferent about him and continued my emotionless defeating of other players including Twixt.

A while back i messages Twixt that he never killed me (which is true) and i've killed him 3 times on my /psi dom... it actually made him ask what my doms name was... i think he went back to check all his logs too bad he did not find my dom's name in his log (oh well) too bad his experement did not work on some of us. And by "Us" i mean those Players that PvP for the sake of defeating fake characters controlled by other Players with a completely indifferent attitude and approach.

Incinerate is better.

so how would you guys think /dev stacks up these days?

I killt 100 peeps no pvP IO drop ... w/e though fix is comming.

I'd say nova for the most part, but you still need to transform to dwarf just for the heal and then transform back to something else. IMO, you need all you forms ready for heals and one or two forms for attack. and oh yeah get the phase power to.

some stalkers with skill can keep up to your moving/jumping around.... jump onto random places like rooftops train rails, trees, statues, and stuffs. The best thing you can do though is get on a dedicated PvP team that can defeat stalkers in 4-5 sec while being able to keep you alive. One emp + one rad isn't mush to a stalker. 2 blasters, a storm or FF or rad, and an emp is prolly better against 4 stalkers. So uhhh,,,, ask around for some good pvp experience and team with them.

I think mutation... he already had great shouting skills and that what got him hired as a Lifeguard, but since he doesn't wear sun screen, the suns radiation amplyfied his mutation and even have him power over radiation.

The Devs should do events like these... i know these were bugs but sometimes bugs can lead to good ideas.... especially for the expansion (hint hint).

If they could do zombie raids, rikti raids, holloween stuff, christmas stuff... why not a paragon city/rogue isle raids where for a short while villains/heros attack/protect a random certain part of the city... Obviously for RP reasons there should be a tough PvE objective and badges envolved for both sides. And to get to the zone you'll have to select Kings Row (PvP), Steel Canyon (PvP), Nerva Arvh (PvP), etc. and everyones gets put on the same lvl like in PvP zones here... that'll be good for Going Rogue... I think.

I like this games PvP no matter what you do to it because there are so many builds to counter. i don't care about what system i have to use to defeat other players, i just like defeating other players in this game.

I believe the Players that like i13 -i14 PvP are majority PvEers (i'm not a PvEer). They are vocal, but they seldom check the PvP boards, and when they do check these board I believe they don't really understand what we are usually arguing about. If i was a PvEer i would not post here and look like a dummy to you guys right?

Stand alone, regenerating HP is probably better than a weak heal like Radiant Aura or Warmth for example due to heal suppression. If you are going up against DPS type builds like brutes, tanks, scrappers, defenders, controllers, MMs, and some corruptors AND if you are moving around, moving away, and even using walls as cover, regen comes in quite handy.

It's not very usefull for obvious reasons against spike teams, or burst damage type builds like blasters, stalkers, doms, etc. Unless you get away and hide regen won't come in handy there.

I like it because it puts me back in the game faster after i ran away so it indirectly increases my offense output.

maybe SRs are experiencing the same thing i'll check my SR later on.

Brutes are good for Fight Club adn decent at disruption. Tanks are decent at disruption and good for survival damage from multiple baddies if your good at running.

So choose what you'd like to do.

I like that, ill do the same to these blasters heck even trollers, defenders, stalkers, doms, corrs i don't care i don't discriminate i even kill members of my own SG/VG lol.

I think ur missing the point... there is no phase or hiber if the right conditions are there.

So to all the damage lovers....With proper CHAINING and builds with enough +dmg or even a popped red or two, A dom can now kill a squishy before the squishy can regain the ability or option to escape death. Although the window of escape is small against elec stalkers for example, that window is certainly there and you can still phase/hiber/heal/pff/cage before death to avoid defeat even if the stalker popped many reds.... On an i15 broken dom that is built to spec, (unless you've popped 5 BFs preemptively) there is little to no chance of escaping certain defeat especially if he is in domination or has megalo popped.

So how to balance? well... you can either make the dom mezzes/KB powers just as effective as blaster mezzes/KB and keep the same damage as it is live while upping the HP cap slightly..... OR... simply rebalance the damage to a normalized level. The first choice would essentially take away the primary power set for the Dom AT in a PvP environment and making them the same AT and role as a blaster. Remember, doms are disruption/moderate damage first and damage second while blaster is damage first and some more damage/disruption second.

"tEh ZoMG!! your taking away the only ranged damage we got on redside!!" besides look, Rogue is comming out so make a redside blaster if you want the damage. Now for my subjective opinion; I think that many of you guys want an AT that can get guarantee kills and these kills can't be bypassed by phase/hiber. C'mon now don't tell me 'nah that's not me, I don't want to feel like im cheating' lol these are the guys that had a stalker alt before the oneshot rule was made lol and how many of them were there?? So let the Devs do what they gotta do & GLHF!
