Yup I respeced out posion gas arrow about 10 minutes after I took it. It is a completly rubbish power that gives you nothing but aggro.

IMO the biggest problems with PvP are all the trash-talkers, moaners and poor losers.

I am in the Army of Archers SG on Defiant. All members have either Archery, TA or both.

I never run away. I make strategic withdrawls until such time as the odds are more favorable. Sound military tactics. To fight on when the battle is lost is the sort of stupidity that got so many soldiers killed during the first world war.

The advantage of group invis is it can't be detoggled.

It works well against mobs, I can walk right up to turrets and arbiter drones without being seen. It's not very effective against defense sets with +perception powers though. Stalkers usually see me long before I see them.

Strategic withdrawl is the makes fighting humans more challenging than fighting mobs. Only an idiot stands around waiting for a stalker to finish them off.

If you don't have a ranged attack then you need to have a decient travel power and a little keyboard dexterity. Superjump is a good option as is 3-slotted swift+hurdle+sprint+combat jumping.

Frosty is still around (Ice/NRG).

No it's just attacks. This was the case when domnation was first added during beta. The only difference with brutes is it decays much more slowly and you get nothing for being attacked. I have Brawl on auto on my Blapper Dom.

It's just you. My dominator hits just fine.

I think only duration and magnatude are reduced, since with domination they are supposed to equal a controller, and domination doesn't boost accuracy.

Note that for both Contollers and Dominators single target controls tend to have higher than normal accuracy, but most aoe holds have lower accuracy.

You tend not to see Stalkers about the place because they congregate in the PvP zones.

I can usually get domination up before it recharges on my ice/ice (basic attack chain Block of Ice -> Ice Bolt -> Ice Sword -> Brawl), however it seems to be harder to do on larger teams, perhaps because I am doing more aoe controlling and less blapping.

Mind control is unpopular because it doesn't get a pet I think.

My dominator is a bit squshy but doesn't feel underpowered. I'm quite happy with it. In PvP my dominator does better than my controller.

I think these powers are pretty much like the ice tank powers anyway. Both shields prob grant a whopping cold resistance so if you have them both you can get pretty close to the cap anyway (which is almost never useful). The fire resistance is prob fairly minor and not worth slotting. Put +def in these shields.

Brawl increases fury exactly the same amount as any other power, and it has a short animation time. If your attack chain includes powers with longer animation times (e.g. Shadow Maul) You will not be able to build up fury as quickly.

The stratagy is to use quick attacks like brawl until your fury bar is full, then use your slower animating high damage attack.

It was 0.8 but there was talk of raising it to 0.9 (same as tankers) after max fury was reduced from 350% to 250%. I dunno wether that happened or not.

If it is 0.8 the at maximum fury it is 2.8, compared to a scrapper critical of 2.5.

The shields are great. My robots really feal the pain when they wear off. They stack wish dispersion bubble and the shield the protector bots cast.

The trouble with PvP is there are an awful lot of very poor loosers.

"If only you hadn't used any of your powers I would have pwnd you you cheeter!"

Frosty Robot became self-aware 8 months ago. Purple Sprite is difficult to measure since time passes differently in her native dimension, and fairie folk are immortal anyway. Abominable Yeti is about 50, which is young for his species. The Robot Master is 37.

Are you sure dispersion bubble is buffing your team and not just yourself? All accounts I've heared indicate PFF blocks this.

With PFF on you can: click glowies & travel in relative safety.

The H34L0R syndrome refers to those who want to do nothing but heal. Since Corruptors are not as good at just healing as Defenders if your corruptor only heals its not pulling its weight.

When i'm playing my MM I bubble my pets first, since they are pretty much always in range. I usually find I have to go chasing after other players in order to bubble them. Lastly I bubble the pets of other MMs, since it is sometimes hard to tell if they have been bubbled.

One issue is that the shields are useless if you mostly solo, so loners may avoid picking them. However if I was going to create a solo Corruptor I wouldn't pick Thermal as a secondary.

Dark has all round resistance, but it is weaker against the most common damage types than Stone and Invun. Its defence got nerfed in issue 5 to be negligable. In addition it lacks a +max hp power, and they have reciently been improved.

Confusing Embalmed Abominations is good for a laugh too.
