Go away. We don't need more people trolling PvP on these boards.

Elec's Thunderstrike is supposedly doing crazy damage now, so you might want to look into that.

AS definitely showed who the noobs were.

If you got hit with an AS, you were a noob.

(btw, break frees helped a lot against those holds. Just because you were bad doesn't mean i12 pvp was)

I'd probably go EM/WP. Siphon Life isn't anything special in PvP and the elusivity nerf combined with DR makes /Nin not as great for PvP.

Or it would allow people to kite other people with little to no risk.

Bad idea.

Yup, I know for a fact that things like unique roles, less glaring imbalances, and power familiarity were just getting in the way of it being good. So glad the devs removed all the tactics and strategy from the game so we have our improved fight club.

You might not like the "negative vibe" but I'm not going to lie to you about it. Things were made worse. If you want people to only tell you good things, regardless of truth, you really shouldn't ask in the first place.

You mean the thread of ill-informed opinions and half-celebratory posts from people claiming they're glad they don't have to PvP anymore? Nah, I caught that one.

This thread could beat up that thread, though.

Also, I'm positive now that this is a troll thread. gg

Either this post is a joke, or you are less informed than I thought.

PvP wasn't revamped for the better. It was revamped, yes, but the changes instituted in i13 were for the worse. Unique team roles were removed and now everyone is almost exclusively a damage dealer. The pacing of the game was slowed way down, and many sets were made worse while not nearly as many got better.

Of the characters you have listed, none of them I'd really recommend for a PvP build. Your Fire/Ice tank will have poor damage. Your empath's heals will cause suppression and heal decay, almost ensuring that whom you've just healed will die shortly after. Elec blast is "lol" in general without more end sapping to help it, which /fire doesn't do anything for. And Warshades are and have always been bad at PvP.

Your friend also lied to you. That blaster will never be like a /thermal corr.

Seriously though, do both. That'd be fantastic.

So, what are the chances of you staying sub'd here once CO comes out? If so, do you plan on posting on both forums? Cause that would just be super.

needs more Touhou programmers

He'll be there long enough to realize the devs won't let him make the tankmage he wants there, either.

AS has gotten better since i14. It isn't resisted anymore.

In i13, it was MUCH harder to do, but possible if you caught a squishie unprepared (one with no +HP bonuses or accolades, no additional resistance, etc) and had enough +damage. In i14, it's gotten a bit easier since AS is unresisted again, but still pretty tricky, due to DR.

Still, far from a credible threat as all it takes is WASD to diffuse most assaults like that. Same as it's always been.

With his past commentary on PvP, most wonder if he PvP'd even before i12.

You know as well as I that it's the Stalker/Scrapper/Brute builds which cause the majority of kills in prime time PvP.

This is wrong.

Please learn what you're talking about before you try making statements like these. Thank you.

PvE and i12 PvP (for the most part)

Blaster: Ranged and Melee damage

Scrapper: Melee damage with some range and a mitigation secondary

Tanker: Melee damage with minor range and massive mitigation/aggro management capabilities.

Controller: Hard/Soft controls with support buffs/debuffs.

Defender: Support buffs/debuffs with moderate ranged damage.

i13 PvP

Blaster: Ranged and Melee damage. Moderate mitigation due to universal resists.

Scrapper: Melee and Ranged damage. Moderate mitigation due to universal resists and DR.

Tanker: Melee and Ranged damage. Moderate mitigation due to universal resists and DR.

Controller: Ranged damage. Moderate mitigation due to universal resists. Support role antiquated due to suppression and DR.

Defender: Ranged damage. Moderate mitigation due to universal resists. Support role antiquated due to suppression and DR.

True, but my question was more in reference to the party.

I've met the people on this server. You can be honest with me.

I google'd "prison" "passion" and "party" and saw some very interesting images.

Is that what we can expect at the party?

i c wut u did thar

GRIEFER!

I'd love it if Dimensional Shift were replaced with a power called Gravity Well. Target based toggle that has a reverse repel effect. All enemies in the area are drawn closer to that target.

Gets them in niiiiice and close for some AoE havok.

FATALITY!

It offers resistance to repel as well as easily capping your HP. The self heal is the same, and with the changes to elusivity in i14, defense isn't nearly as good as it used to be.

The two are close, but WP gets the nicer perks out of the two for PvP utility.
