Well if I said the immob on subdue doesnt stop KB would it make you feel better?

Cos it doesnt.


[/ QUOTE ]

You are right, it doesn't stop KB...most of the time but occasionally it seems to. Maybe I was being unlucky with TK Blast but unfortunately I dont have time to run a proper test.

[ QUOTE ]
It might be a gravity control hold/immob graphic, those tend to stick to your char sometimes... Were you by any chance fighting family?

[/ QUOTE ]

As do that dark defender ones sometimes (Tar Patch and Shadow Fall).

[ QUOTE ]
Stacks with the disorients from your secondary and it gets past acrobatics which many people take these days.

[/ QUOTE ]

Any disorient will get past acrobatics as it only protects from knockback and holds.

RD, Zeshin has a sonic/energy up to the low 30s. Try PMing him on the OV forums.

Big suprise, seems his initial calculations were wrong....

Statesman explains the changes a bit more here.

Assuming his calculations are correct, it actually looks like a decent change for those of us that like to fight mobs at a higher level than ourselves. Minions are going to be a little more threat than they were, Lts and Bosses a little less.

heh, not got Overload yet, but from what i've heard, it's gonna be fab

[/ QUOTE ]

It is

I should have mentioned I was talking from a PvE point of view. I haven't done much PvP with my /psi defender so it may behave differently (but I doubt it ).

It seems to but only when the immob hits which is ~50% of the time.

Well done Onion and well done Jiaozy and all the team leaders

I took my /kin corruptor to 40 using just siphon speed and IR. If I were to try another /kin I would take a travel power then respec it out later.

I've seen mine go to 11, then again I never really count, far too busy

Hit 10 plus one for the pbaoe effect.

Siphon Speed issues I get, yep that can indeed be a pain...

IR... nope, still not convinced. Leaping requires you to check around and press the jump key in order to do your jumping. You can't leave your toon to get where they need to get to on their own. It requires almost the same careful consideration of where you are going as IR.

Brick. Space bar. Nuff said.

Or type /++up in the console .. or bind it. Tiz handy.

[/ QUOTE ]

I use this bind "powexec_toggleon Super Jump$$++up" to start SJ and get me jumping.

[ QUOTE ]
I thought Acrobatics would provide some sleep resistance? I ran into a problem the other night with it, I had it active along with combat jumping and stealth and I got chain mezzed by a rikti luit the other night, thankfully I could take the damage as it was just him, but from the time I started timing I was mezzed for 1 minute 15 seconds.

Although acrobatics says it provides resistance to holds, does it stop you being mezzed? As a lvl 40 AR/Eng, is there anything bar a 'break free' that could help? They're really becoming a nuicance!

[/ QUOTE ]

Holds, sleeps and stuns are all different types of mez.

I miss being able to crash peoples PCs with a nice FS

[ QUOTE ]
Force of Nature, alongside providing high resistance to all damage except psionic, also provides protection from holds, immobilisation, sleep and disorient (knockback isn't mentioned, but I'd have thought it would be included)

[/ QUOTE ]

Looks to me like the Hero Builder text is way out of date there. IIRC the mez protection was removed while the patch for the EPPs was still on the test server after the scrappers and tanks got a bit excited about blasters getting their level 32 power. I hope somebody can prove me wrong.

[ QUOTE ]
personal force field protects you from teleport foe in PvP, as well as providing very high defence - if the mezz misses then you're not going to be affected by it of course

[/ QUOTE ]

I didnt know about the TP foe thing. Handy.

[ QUOTE ]
Hibernate simply leaves you invulnerable, hence having status protection by default.

The various shields offer no status protection, just the same as the equivalent tank shields. A shame really.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yup.

I'm looking forward to trying it out. Still got a few levels to go

[ QUOTE ]
Most of the Epics give Protection as well, but that'll depend on which area you're fighting in...

[/ QUOTE ]

They do? Apart from Hibernate which other blaster epic powers give status protection?

[ QUOTE ]
So I guess it's impossible for people to use their head, and to be respectful to other people... It's apparent that kids today has to do anything that is possible for them to do, as long as it is entertaining to them and it gives other people grief. As long as it's in your OWN PERSONAL best interest, OF COURSE you HAVE to do it...

[/ QUOTE ]

But aren't you doing the same thing, putting your enjoyment ahead of theirs?

[ QUOTE ]
I have no problem with a rule that says no swearing, but to me ganking and general griefing is 100 times worse.

[/ QUOTE ]

But what you consider ganking and general griefing many others consider using the zones as intended. They really aren't the place for friendly duels, there are arenas for that. That's not to say you can't have a duel there, just don't get upset if you are interrupted.

[ QUOTE ]
Also try and fit TD + tactics in there to see stalkers, they can still AS you, but they have to be faster.

[/ QUOTE ]

Can TD + Tactics see through Hide + Stealth?

[ QUOTE ]
I reckon Illusion does more damage with all it's pets out + Spectral Wounds.

Oh yes, and froget about Secondaries people, concentrate on Primaries.

[/ QUOTE ]

Possibly, but you can't have PA out all the time anymore so you would need to take an average over time for a proper comparison.

Two points:

You need to be on or very near the ground to use Burn (not that it's worth taking any more...)

Post-ED, 3-slotted hover is quite slow (I'm assuming you will 3 slot it to use as a combat travel power). It might be worth checking on test whether you can live with the slow speed or not.

Several of my characters got started on the healing badge by using presents at Xmas. The Gift of Life was a PBAoE heal.

That's an excellent guide Dead_Calm

[ QUOTE ]
A tactic you could use as Dark/Psi might be Fear->ST->Gaze, but I know nothing about Psi Blast. As far as Acro is concerned it really does work! It's no subsitute for BFs though.

[/ QUOTE ]

I have only PvP'd a little with my /psi defender so I could be wrong but:

Subdue supposedly has a 50% odd chance to immob but it doesn't seem to stick that often
TK Blast does knockback
Will Domination does a sleep - drops acro on first hit I believe.

Those are the 3 main attacks I use pre auxiliary pool.
