OneAboveAll

There's been a lot of things that have been stated over the years, that have been mentioned by dev's here and there, about things that would happen but never did or has yet to come to fruition and is actually planned. I'd like to list them here. I don't think I have 10. Please feel free to add to this....

In no particular order....

1. The Vault
2. Tearing Down/Removal of the War Walls
3. Cathedral of Pain
4. Working Arena Tourney's
5. Arena Wagering/Gambling (I really thought this was a feature of i4, but looking at old notes, I swear things have been truncated)
6. Incarnate EAT
7. IoP's
8. Resetting the Chess Style Ranking System
9. Working 75 vs 75
10. A reason why HO's reduced to 33% even though ED was eventually put into place, even though the reason for reducing it was because there was no ED.

Anyways, if I16 in allowing our level 50's to become more powerful grants us more slots I'll be a lot more excited about my PB.

Get excited. However you wont be able to PL to get those slots.

[/ QUOTE ]

What now? What is this I hear about adding more slots?

[/ QUOTE ]
At the Comic Con panel, they highlighted some of what they want to do with Going Rogue, and a few of the things were reinvent the low-level experience, add a real endgame, and make ways for level 50s to get even more powerful. No idea what those entail specifically but I'm not holding my breath.

[/ QUOTE ]
A little birdie that went to comic con also said they told him something about making the arena cross server

Hot Damn =P

they're also relatively more survivable than many MELEE builds out there

[/ QUOTE ]


Are you serious???? I want this so called blaster that has 3000 HP, and can get to 75+% resistance. Oh and dont forget the taunt. I want taunt on my blaster.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ah, and here we go.


Everyone is simply "jaded" by the "gross" survivability of Regen and Invuln Tanks Hero Side. In reality, many/most other Melee Toons DO NOT have that amount of survivability...at all. Especially if we start looking "Villain-Side". Vill side, you have about "one" good PvP Brute Secondary, and that's Fire Armor, and even that has many achilles heels in which it can be defeated.


Take EA and ELA Brutes for example. Anyone care to talk about how "survivable" WP is? What about DA? How's those SR's these days?


Just because "Regens" and "Invln Tanks" run amok in zones these days and outnumber other sets, don't be jaded by "their" performances. In reality, I've seen many Blasters have MUCH better survivability than the other "less popular" sets out there, especially when you start to factor in Hibern00b and Hoarfrost.


Maybe the other melee armors need buffed/fixed in pvp? I dunno, that's not my point. My point is, that Blasters are currently more survivable than "many" of the Melee AT's you could take into pvp. Some of that survivability comes through their sheer damage output, while a good portion of it comes from just simply being tough as nails...and that's the problem. You shouldn't have an AT that, while solo, can not only deal "MASSIVE [u]RANGED[u]" damage, but also survive as well as just about anything short of a Tanker. That to me, and anyone else with a level head on this, is simply borked and wrong.

[/ QUOTE ]

QFT.

Blasters have:

- the highest dmg
- no longer have the least HP.
- easiest to cap HP
- can attack when mezzed
- can cap squishy resistance
- bonus dmg from defiance

[ QUOTE ]
Oh, I primarily zone pvp. So, take what I said with a grain of salt.

[/ QUOTE ]

what powers did you choose for dark....slotting?

[ QUOTE ]
well i was that dom you fought ( not to be obnoxious) and beat you 8-0 or something . Kb helped me do that a lot. Blasters who use power thrust will also give you that problem. I would see you build but im on a mac so no go.

[/ QUOTE ]

And i think your the only one who has done that to me really, against build #1. No other mind/fire has been able to come close to thrashing(actually i think you might have been the first to beat me) me like you did. But like I said in that duel, it was your attack chain combo that was giving me fits (was unable to land a heal at the beginning or end of your attack chain.(kb,placate, leaping out of perception range being the culprits), and after falling behind like 4-0 i was just playin on tilt. You're actually the reason why I respec'd...then i got thrashed by an ill/therm with this new build, because i couldnt keep my toggles up, even though elec/therms havent posed a problem in the past, this ill/therm shut off my ability to keep my toggles up and keep my attacks constant, with non pb holds and perma he.

havent had any problems with blasters w/power thrust since they can't confuse or tk me nor can they do the same amount of dmg that doms can do...especially doms that double stack PR and hit me at will.

*edit: Run Boot Camp! on a mac too.

[ QUOTE ]

What percentage zones, arena?

[/ QUOTE ]

zones - 0%
arena - 100%

1. ya
2. even at the cost of not being able to keep toggles up and attack back or hit as hard?

I think I jacked up my build last night....Got 1 respec left. My first build, did reasonably well against all the current fotm's, however I was getting tired of getting tossed around like a rag doll so I went and got 38 kb protection. After doing that last night, my stats in HP, DMG, Recovery, and Mezz Resistance took a hit. Most noticeably my Recovery and Mezz Resistance just isn't what it was, i can barely attack, heal,keep toggles up and mezz(holds) last longer then I'd like....just so I wouldnt get KB'd....thinkin about going back to build 1, which was at least survivable even though i'd get kb'd. Should I try incorporating some pvp io's?

In comparison to my last build...

Def Ranged
21.9 vs 18.3

Res L/F/C/T
66 vs 71.3

Regen
176 vs 204

Dmg

KB
47 vs 17

Hold
113 vs 121

what if there's no lag.

When looking at people's builds sometimes in game, there info appears and sometimes they don't appear in zone or not in zone, even if on same faction. How do they do that?

[ QUOTE ]
but I am also making a Fire/TA

[/ QUOTE ]

I so wanted this a long time ago for pvp....but now slows are nonexistant and so is my desire to make one now =*( . Man fire/ta/leviathan would have been nice.

[ QUOTE ]
Hmm...come to think of it...I wonder which Primary and Secondary powers benifit the most from Power Boost for a Corruptor in the first place?


I could look into it, but does anyone have any insight to shoot out off hand?

[/ QUOTE ]

Rad/Dark

[ QUOTE ]
One of the dev said he doesn't like how Slow is right now, or maybe I was just hearing some rumors. xP

[/ QUOTE ]

The pvp dev on Test said it.

It would...cuz double stacking shiver makes powers to little dots with DR on.

[ QUOTE ]
Yup, pretty much it. Blasters are a 1-man team wrecking house already. Without a team, you're pretty SoL in beating one. Sometimes, a really well played dominator coupled with a really well made build can take one out solo, but it's not common. Elec/Therms can too, if they are lucky enough to survive long enough for the end drain to take effect.


Imho, Blasters are way over the top right now in pvp performance.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well built Dark Defender or Corrupter.

[ QUOTE ]

What are the typical procs chosen for Rad's attacks? I need to start buying now lol =/

[/ QUOTE ]

Good luck with that. I've got 4 rad blast toons and a pb...and getting them for each attack was a beeeotch.

Shield Breakers, Javelin Toxic, Appocalypse Neg

Not so hard to get Lady Grey's and Achilles.

but ya fo sho l will say Rad/EM will pawn ANYTHING. PB+BR+AIM+BU+CB...GG.

Sounds like Desdemona, has a little of "The Darkness"...

[ QUOTE ]
I have Tactics, and with Telekinesis being an auto-hold, any toggle debuff that can affect it will be taken off. If you thought I would have Phase, would Hibernate vs. PR make any difference?

[/ QUOTE ]

Can just TK, then use PR. Seen people just TK then Blazing Bolt every chance they got.

[ QUOTE ]
i noticed that the person i am attacking does not have to attack in order to lose endo when i am chasn them, there mobility alone drains them along side with snow storm it makes it easy for my voltaic setinal to stay on em as well, that right there gets there endo to nuthn while blastn away with the /cold power..i.e- infrig,benum and HL.

[/ QUOTE ]

This.

The thing i had disliked about mine is choosing between do i want perception or a heal of some sort. I was actually surprised with the end drain HL does after it got buffed a few issues back.i've been wanting to try a soulmastery version of my build just to see pb with end drains.

currently running fitness, speed, leaping, leadership with mako.

[ QUOTE ]
I dont know whats wrong with your fort, but i just tested mine not set io'ed out yet agains my Io'ed set scrapper and i was doing alot more than 134 with out aim, so your toon is messed up.

[/ QUOTE ]
how much resists does a DR'd scrapper get? that's the difference.

[ QUOTE ]
TP away

[/ QUOTE ]

I was still under the impression that we still could not tp away anymore in pvp.

[ QUOTE ]
That doesn't make any sense either...if Nova form has higher base range then how does using it make inefficient use of your range? It almost seems like you meant to say human form...I dunno. That part of the post seems confusing.

[/ QUOTE ]

not slotting for range, would not increase your range, now would it? if you took that power and just used procs...like the other poster said they would do.

nova form building for +range wouldnt be good at all if you dont have the perception.

I built a fort with 67% Dmg Bonus. Needless to say, it still sucked and the hardest attack it could muster was 134 w/aim against any squishy with a res shield. so i gave up.
