5. Villains have many bonuses over Heroes, such as Permadominators

Buffed Permadominator vs buffed Blaster = lol

If you port villain powersets over to heroes, and hero powersets over to villains, and the heroes seem to have come off better, do you not think that could be because villains already had the better powersets?

I should also point out that this is only the first round, BAB has promised there is more to come. Likely PP round 2 will include those powersets than needed a little more tweeking.

A sound argument, except for my previous point in another thread that heroes got two of the absolute cream of villain exclusive sets, while villains got only one, and it's not that good anyway. Most of my PvP will be unaffected (99% of arena is hero vs hero anyway), but it's the more casual zoner villain that will be hit hard and I kinda feel bad for them lol.

I have just realised that maybe these new sets will bring some challenge to us Vindicate lot

Riiight,because we wont have one of every new "good" pvp combo to 50 and fully IOed within 10days from i12 launch...lol.

I call Elec Melee/Dark Armour Stalker.

[(don't think we'd ever see /kin MMs for instance, though with certain restrictions it'd be possible).

Lowish damage cap for MM pets (possibly speed cap for those who fear the speedy ninjas) = job done innit. What they should have done with Fire/Kin tbh, instead of lowering the damage of the epic attacks and screwing over every troller except the /kins lol. <--Fail fix

I have just realised that maybe these new sets will bring some challenge to us Vindicate lot, but previous moans have been about players of equal experience/ability being beaten by others, which is off-putting to the casual PvPer.

anyhooo bring it on liek innit yo dawgz

All you have to do anyway is make a mental note of where they land in Hibernate, and wait next to it, provided you're not being ganked by anyone else, it would be no more efficient a heal than say Reconstruction.

Willpower would still be better I think.

That leaves Elec Armour tbh. Or Ice. Ice is most likely I reckon.

it looks like he was roleplaying the elf to me...

I want an MA/Stone Stalker so much. GRANITE EAGLES CLAW!

Word on the street is that Globey got with Spag's girlfriend.

Pass it on.

That was a joke. My Empath's build is about 4 issues out of date and cack in arena.

wat ya sayin?

I currently have one IOd toon. It has no purples and one LotG +recharge. It has no decimations, or any other of the expensive regular sets. It has only Archmage and the Atlas Medallion. It is still awesome in PvP. I don't only PvP with that toon either.

tbh we should just make new accounts and call ourselves vimdicate or something.

Good fun tonight! The SG chat after the event was priceless.... and i got it all logged so i can extorsion all of you starting with Rooks

You can't hurt my reputation because I don't have one. Or at least one worth hurting. :<

:<

I was never a fan of FFAs personally, more of a team man, I just thought what's the point in levelling a Duelling/solo toon if it can still be easily beaten by a different one. All of my toons would totally suck in FFA.

I like to hide in teams to disguise my inability.

sux ftw

An average Stoney will be more survivable than an average Invuln, but an average Invuln will be much better at keeping agro than an average Stoney. I pride myself on keeping agro on my Stoney which is why I play him, I wouldn't bother if I couldn't keep all the agro. I think a skilled Stoney is much more worth having in a team than a skilled Invuln, but that's because most of an Invuln's ability comes from his build, but most of a Stoney's ability comes from his personal skill in holding agro.

Stop blowing wind in your own sail Rooks!

it's true holmes.

O btw, granite sux. I tanked 2 AVs unbuffed without it. and 2 gms at the same time. How's that for "only using it when you need to"?

Enervator and myself have put together a plan to take down Hamidon, however it is reliant on certain characters being present, and as such we need to gauge how well we can hit our targets for characters. So, if you are up for beating Hami at any point, could you post a reply, including any and all 50s from the list below (along with their archetype).

Empath (state if you have Recall Friend and if you have Ressurect)

Kinetics (ID is a must.)

Radiation

Scrapper/Tanker (state if you can fly)

Blaster

Dark Miasma (must have Howling Twilight)

Trick Arrow (must have Oil Slick).

Sonic (needs Clarity and Sonic Dispersion)



Example:

I wish to participate with the following toons:

Empath (no Ressurect, no Recall friend)

Sonic Defender

Claws/SR Scrapper (no fly)

With the steath cap, "hunting" stalkers is nigh impossible without use of the stealth bug and some educated guess of where the stalker will be when you get in range. It's far more about exploiting their errors in judgement (i.e. attempting to assassinate you when you are at the perception cap), seeking them out when they don't want to be found is pretty much impossible.

MMs and proper pvp don't mix too well, in the zones they're ok I guess if you get TP Foe and loads of slows, but that's not really my cup of tea. I only turn up as my mm in the zones when I fancy pvping, not winning or doing any proper damage cause FFs are so easy to run from.

At least that's a whole group of people.
