MA REGEN FTW!!!!

I'll be up for this on my thermal I have a pvp thing at 7:30 though

Fire/Kin for PvE and Ice/kin for PvP at the end of the day

Any combination of sonic/, ice/, /rad, /kin, /ice, or /dark will be awesome in pvp. Sonic/ and Ice/ have great secondary effects and dont require many powers from the primary so you have got space for acrobatics, stamina and hasten

I myself have an ice/kin and is really good even in sirens the stacked slows are nasty for melees, good hold for squishes and a good heal if you can get in the right position and to think theres transference and fulcrum to come 30+

P.S. Thermal really good but nothing more than a buff bot until 35+ when it gets 2 of the best debuffs in the game

You've always been a great guy to have around mate the game will be lonier without you

Dont forget end drain , no end = no toggles

Ele/Energy and Ele/Ele Blasters

Kin/Ele/Power Defender

*/Kinetics/Primal Trollers

I presume Ele/Ele brutes can but I'm not sure.

-Art of War-

Total Inertia (Corruptor) @thePhilosopher
Transonic (Defender) @Enervator

But Mind/Kin has the AoE sleep Fulcrum combo

Controller, damage?

Kids these days....

So you really have not seen a good fire/kin at work? The spawns go down in about 5 seconds.

[/ QUOTE ]I have, but I still think the abomination known as containment should be scrapped and controllers should focus on, you know, control

[/ QUOTE ]

I've always thought dead mobs is the best kind of control

Any comments on Lightning Field?

[/ QUOTE ]

I think thats ok only if you plan on going against stalkers, and even then it is debatable.

Out of powers listed, power sink is a definitive yes though.

[/ QUOTE ]

The AoE defence of stalkers is too high for it to be that effective

Possibly something like this:

If me brute is high enough by then I'll bring him if not maybe Phil not sure

I'll be up for this with my Ice/Kinetics corruptor

Higher DPS (second overall, IIRC), acc debuff, less resisted, touch of fear. Easily better.

I'll probably be up for eden on my fire/kin controller, when do you plan on doing it?

[/ QUOTE ]

Saturday at noon i believe

Gah think I'm playing footie . . .

All in all I really can reccomend PvP as an Empath

[/ QUOTE ]

Playing a PvP empath is one of the biggest adrenaline rush you can get from the Empathy set.

[/ QUOTE ]

I love my empath in pvp so exciting and rewarding keeping your squishy teammates alive and buffed

[ QUOTE ]
Having said that, you will be unlikely to die I suppose. The only way of effectively destroying a granite is end drain, which they have no defence against, which leads to a detoggle.

[/ QUOTE ]

Unless they are also running Rooted.

[/ QUOTE ]

DOes rooted protect vs end drain?

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah but still possible to end drain them even with rooted especially a kin/ele for example.

[ QUOTE ]
Already had a 'Taxibots FTW ' comment!

[/ QUOTE ]

Hehe that was me

[ QUOTE ]

As for the secondary sets, Super Strength, Energy Melee, Stone Melee, Battle Axe all have plus points which make them good, just depends how you wanna play and if you are going to be part of a team or solo.

[/ QUOTE ]

What plus points does battle axe have? Im trying to see it but I just cant.

EM for burst damage and SS for sustainability is how I see it.

My INV/SS has crazy damage and hits harder than my scrappers.

[/ QUOTE ]

You look a real man and not a cheerleader

[/ QUOTE ]

[ QUOTE ]
Maybe I'll take haste at 35 then and Total Focus at 38 and see if I can fit amplify in somewhere in the 40's. I imagine the epics are... useless-ish?

[/ QUOTE ]

You'll only want 2 or 3 of them anyway so plenty of space for amplify

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
Also does anyone out there have a successfull PvP tank or should I just forget the whole idea and choose another AT?

[/ QUOTE ]

Max Powerz invul/axe
Mr Bosher invul/em
X-plosive fire/em
Forbearance ice/ice
(Globey's Tank) invul/em?
Solid Sgt invul/em
Cryaice/em
infy invul/em
seriphimus fire/em

it terms of best sets valens summed it up perfectly

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah lots of good tanks around if you know where to look
