PA is almost 10 seconds off from perma if you remove the 100% recharge from force feedback proc. I'll have a look at making it perma if it doesn't gimp the build.


[Edit] Added the data chunk. I've squeezed another 7.5% recharge out of it but there's not much else that can be done.

I'll be there again

Defiant is dead so i guess it's just you two then.

It'll check every 10 seconds.

Does anyone else think it's ironic that Tuarus is telling people not to moan about in-game problems?

Well with it happening with a program like Google earth i'd hazard a guess with it being a lack of power issue not a graphics issue.

When you vaccumed the fans did you also clean the power supply one?

Hmmm... I've personally come across something similar to this with a friends computer.

Is there a noise your computer makes when it freezes? A click or the sound of a fan speeding up/slowing down?

Post your basic PC specs and i'm sure someone could give you a hand in getting you back in-game

[ QUOTE ]
There is a reason 95% of all hero PvP players have blasters or spine scrappers cause ranged burst damg is king in PvP not meele damg.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'll start with a positive first. Your right, ranged spike damage is king at the moment. It's not the be all and end all of PvP though.


[ QUOTE ]
You obviously never tried to kill a good blaster as a meele toon.

[/ QUOTE ]


I went through a stint where all i played was a stalker and i spent all my online time in RV. I've killed many a good blaster with a melee toon as that is what a stalker is.

Sure, i got creamed a fair few times my self as these blasters were very good and loldefence kind of lets me down sometimes. However, i still do well with my /ninjitsu despite the huge to-hit numbers blasters can get and that is down to the heal, hide and phase.

[ QUOTE ]
AS has a long animation time and the target needs to stand still.
A good blaster will NEVER stand still but hopp around like crazy or fly.

For your meele attacks to actually hit you need to get close to the blaster first which is almost impossible if he/she is superspeeding and jumping around.

The blaster can fire the attacks from range while hopping around, with no need to be close to the target, the meele toon cant.


[/ QUOTE ]

Don't AS then. You don't have to use that power all the time. Thing is though Moghedien, you can AS a moving target. Takes a lot of practice but it is possible.

Yes the blaster can fire from range but every time they do so, they root. Those 2 seconds are plenty of time to close the gap and fire an attack off.

If they super speed off then chase them. If you have chose fly over super speed then you get the advantage of flying vertical to escape. Something a blaster with SS and SJ can't do. Same with TP.

Pro's and cons with all the travel powers.


If your on union send me a tell when your next in-game. It sounds like you've had a couple of bad experiences with villain melee toons which has tainted your perception a little. I'll happily show you how effective a stalker can be in zonal PvP.

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]

I have done and frequently do. If you can't kill a blaster and definitely a troller with a stalker (without TP foe) your doing something wrong. Try practising more

[/ QUOTE ]

A stalker cant kill a good blaster, permajump for the win and your lucky if you get 1 AS off in the whole fight.

Most blaster get clearminded so the stalker has no chance anyway.

Blaster: Superspeed + cj hopping around eventually the stalker can AS once, blaster jumps away hibernate or Phaseshift or Personalff, heals to full, uses ranged attacks etc etc.
It was possible to kill blasters as a stalker but only if the stalker used ET with the stun.

[/ QUOTE ]


Sorry but what?


A good stalker can kill a good blaster with or without emp buffs. If your just dependant on AS then that is your main problem.

Stalkers can also get super speed and combat jumping so what's your point? They can also phase and a few sets have a self heal so they can also phase and heal to full.

Thing is though, a stalker can hide and placate so a good proportion of the fight the blaster can't even see his target (plenty of time to recover). If the stalker stays hidden and moving the blaster will never be able to hit you, clear mind or no clear mind.

It still is possible to kill a blaster on a stalker..... Quite easily.

Why does melee actually fail against ranged toons at the moment?


Being Rooted for 1-2seconds when you use a skill

I think addressing that issue would require alot more time and effort but would improve the balance more so than tweaking suppression values, and would allow for suppression to be removed from pvp entirely then just increase the endurance cost of travel powers.

My own little idea

[/ QUOTE ]

Theres ways around it. A bane showed me that in sirens a month or so ago. He jumped into hurricane and then jumped out and activated the power as he was jumping out rendering
my max slotted tohit debuff hurricane useless also avoiding the repel. Sure he was still rooted when he used it but he overcame the the problem.


[/ QUOTE ]

Hurricanes ToHit debuff sticks around for 10 seconds so there's no benefit in doing that, in terms of being able to avoid the debuff. More likely he had +ToHit &amp; maxed out Acc in his attacks.

[/ QUOTE ]

In PvP, if you run through hurricane and jump as you do the attack the to-hit debuff has dropped before you hit so it can't be 10 seconds in PvP.

[/ QUOTE ]

It says 10 seconds in Red Tomax too, no distinction between PvE and PvP mentioned so I assume its the same. Easy enough to check with Real Numbers anyway if you've got a handy Hurricaner to check with.

[/ QUOTE ]


I always monitor to-hit on my PvP toons and it shows that the debuff drops before i finish the TF animation (on my stalker) so i guess it's possible it lasts 5 seconds (at the most) certainly not 10 though.

Castle has said there will always be power rooting, it's something he can't get rid of. The -range from taunt would've gone along way to fixing the melee-range gap but the i13 movement suppression has made things worse.

That's called jousting.... One of the "skills" people pick up.


[ QUOTE ]
Try to kill bunnyhopping blasters or trollers in PvP as a villain meele class and say PvP is balanced for meele AND ranged.

EDIT: [censored] knows I might just be speaking out of my [censored] anyway... it's late.

Your spot on tbh.

Erm......

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
Thanks for the delayed feedback guys

ive changed a few thingies, went for 4 deva, 1 ruin and one dam/range HO for ice blast/ice bolt

also nabbed some of the ideas from Falcon and Nickey, cheers

[ QUOTE ]
might aswell wait to see i13 changes before pimping a blaster at the moment as your money might be better spent elsewhere...

[/ QUOTE ]

Build i posted is already on live, but yeah, not building/lvling a new PvP toon until we see where PvP goes post-i13

[/ QUOTE ]
Yeah thats cool Hopefully the devs will look into adding a feature that enables all IOs to be moved out of a toon when respeccing instead of the current 10 which has been poor since IOs have been out. Its been mentioned over at the US forums so it might actually get some attention..

[/ QUOTE ]


I made a post about changing that in GR's QoL thread. It got totally ignored. Hopefully that doesn't happen over in the US.

[ QUOTE ]
In RV, standing close to a pillbox is one option. They can't hurt you much unless your toggles drop, but for a squishy they are much more dangerous. Picking up a Heavy, leading your opponent to a pillbox where half the Freedom Phalanx is having a party or picking up some temporary phase power are a few of the options available.

[/ QUOTE ]


Right, cause level 54 bosses, EB's and AV's all show how good you are. RV is a PvP zone, not PvE.

The rest of the post was quite an informative piece of information to new tanks and you'd be wise to listen to Jess as she's the hardest tank to take down that enters RV.

However, ignore the bit i quoted bar the part about phase. Doing any of that is extremely lame imo.

Heck, i'm not arguing about it lol.

I've given out a lot of criticism recently to the Dev's but this is a huge thank you. That was awesome fun fighting those smelly zombies off.

Good job team!




On another note, it seems the door timers have been reduced by quite a bit. Or at least the 30 second limit till you can activate the next door.

Heard the other two but not that one.... So ta for the chuckle :P

[ QUOTE ]
On the Praetorian AV Shadowhunter does it really affect his regen if he is pulled into the water?

[/ QUOTE ]


LOL now that's a new one.

Will Power 4 blasters tbh!

I was 6 slotting it for end reduction..... Cheers for the tip Rooks!

[ QUOTE ]
And, I am confident this will work with nin/nin too, myself being a Claw/Sr stalker (Yes, i can hit the def cap )

[/ QUOTE ]


The defence cap?

I'm rolling myself a Claws/SR if you can hit 200% defence.

I heard it's that computer that started the global credit crunch

Meh. Sorry. My bad. I blame the merits!
