If i have understood this wrong please tell me but why on earth would a stalker want hover in pvp? You won't catch and AS a snail with that sort of mobility, and even for the set bonuses you slot in it its a waste of a power. The pools you need are Speed, Leaping, fitness concealment or you can go the teleport way and take speed, Teleport, fitness, concealment. By taking hover you would need to drop either speed or leaping and both are essential in pvp for a stalker to move fast and melee fast.

Melee is already broke in this game you need all the movement you can.

Gamete..

Also if you want i can email you my build Em/Wp build if you get stuck on creating your own

Lol well thanks for your advise ive only been playing this game for 42 months so no noting about slotting or playing a stalker .

On another note im rather good at pvp on my stalker and why do you think by taking hover you would need to drop speed etc ? i didnt take leeping even though you seem to think its good imo its rubbish for pvp on a stalker taking hover lets me slot the power for some rather GOOD bonus including 7.5% lotg and by the way i 5 have on this build.

As for wanting to see your build i will pass but you can have a look at mine if you want or if you want to see how good mine is arena?

Oh another thing you think i have hover as a travel power lol are you mad

[/ QUOTE ]

So one half-new power set is all that you're loooking forward to?

[/ QUOTE ]

Yep that sums it up,

just get on with it, why wait for castle just post it already he can copy and paste yours

Id say Fitness yes fighting no, the small amount of extra bonus you will get from it imo is wasted on WP

Well i would have another look at your slotting on your defence powers, 4 slotting them will give you some nice bonus from lotg sets, aslo i took only one of the ppp the range damage one so as to fit in another purple. You may also want to think about taking hover and four slotting it again with lotg for the bonus, you can fit in 5 lotg +rech with hover and it all adds up to soom nice recharge. I will try and sort my build out on to mids and post it makes things easy to explain

Take a chill pill, or take another look at what you posted and just laugh

Was going to offer to let you look at my build but to many trade secrets Hope what i said the other night helps though also if you want to look at my build just let me know

In most PvP zones, they have these things called walls, which you will eventually hit if you just press move forward.

Not to mention it is very difficult to achieve anything meaningful, or have any fun, when all you are doing is moving forward.


[/ QUOTE ]

If you aint worked out how to turn while moving forward yet, you probably are better off giving pvp a miss.

[/ QUOTE ]

Which is exactly the arrogant im-better-than-you attitutue that also puts people off going into PvP zones.

It seems some PvPers don't want other people in PvP zones, they want to keep it as thier exclusive little leet-club.

[/ QUOTE ]

Not true for my part i want more in the zones what i dont want is people moaning in broadcast that its not fair that they have just been killed.

Oh, you can dodge stalkers by moving, but it takes skill, practice, audio, and a degree of intuition. All things unavailable to newbie PvPers.

[/ QUOTE ]

True but all that means is they will learn the hard way, everyone was a pvp newbie at some point you can only learn by taking part.

[/ QUOTE ]

Or just look at it like this:

"That guy was invisible and killed me in two hits before I could react. Screw this."

[/ QUOTE ]


My point proven that player is not cut out for pvp and should stick to pve

[/ QUOTE ]

Which is what most people do, hence why so few people PVP. If you want more people PVPing then the way it works needs to change, not the players.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes true it does need to change but i would like to know what the non pvpers who have posted here think should be done given that they dont take part and dont have a clue for the best part on what they are talking about

[/ QUOTE ]

Then what would be your way to deal with the problem as you and the other Rp posting here be?

Not all like pvp thats a fact but as i have said if you like it you will learn and get better and if you dont well to bad go pve, im not sure what you and others posting here are getting at or what you want done.

[ QUOTE ]
Come on -- PvP has had plenty of time and attention given to it over the last couple of years. If it was going to take off, it would have done so already. It's a lame duck. It limps along, but empathically does not fly, and there's nothing to suggest it'll fly in the future.


[/ QUOTE ]

Did i miss the time spent on pvp over the last few years as from what i can see there has been no time spent on it

[/ QUOTE ]

See previous post concerning learning from unwinable situations. They just put people off, they don't induce learning.

[/ QUOTE ]

But there is nothing that can be done about that, all that means is if they realy want to pvp they will learn how to counter a stalker and if they dont well then stick to nice safe pve

The irony is, stalkers are utter rubbish against hard core PvPers who know how to counter them.

[/ QUOTE ]

Thats not the case for all stalkers, not for mine anyway

[ QUOTE ]
Given that the hero ATs where not designed with PvP in mind, there was no way to implement PvP in a way that would be balanced, without completly changing everything that had already been done in the game.

[/ QUOTE ]

*shrugs* Perhaps, although there's certainly a lot of things they could have done better. The fact remains, though, that CoH's PvP is a lame duck, and seems destined to stay that way.

[/ QUOTE ]

Thats your view on it but its far from the truth

[ QUOTE ]
if you make stalkers much less 'i win' combat then I know my entire sg would pvp more.
Sick and tired of the stupid 2 hit deaths they manage on all but tankers, even the +perception does nothing unless you happen to be carrying a full pouch of yellows AND use them at the right time.

[/ QUOTE ]

Sorry but lol at this stalkers are so far from that you have to be joking, i have 3 stalkers one of whom i use for pvp and yes i can take down alot of players with two shots but imo those are not good pvpers, if i come against a good pvper a two hit kill is just not going to happen. Also you think you have it hard try being a stalker taking on a toon with +per and clear mind stacked thats hard. Also standing still in a pvp zone = death simple fact, keep moving and i cant AS you or you will make it harder for me to do so

Pvp is alot about tactics as well as having a good build, unless you know how to pvp you could have the best build in the world and still get taken out

As for the main question in this topic no i dont think pvp has faceplanted although i do feel there is still lot that needs to be done to balance it, empathy on hero side for one until this issue is sorted there is nothing villain side to balance the effect this set has on a pvp fight.

[ QUOTE ]
First week to meet up and meet all the rest of the teams. Then from then on one match a week. Ill explain more on the openning night.

[/ QUOTE ]

I feel this will drag this out to much, getting it done faster will be best for players and there real life i dont want to start then find out that i cant make a match due to real life matters.

Also i think draging it out will only make for a more dull event have more fights per week to keep players awake

[ QUOTE ]
Surely we should be grateful for any prize or prizes given? Better than GR saying to KS your not having anything for grabs.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well no tbh if the real world cost is to high then give out in game prizes that would go down better i would say with most taking part.

[ QUOTE ]
I have, for example, some signed art books from the CoV collector's edition available, however I won't be able to include them in the prizes unless there's a good number of teams participating.

[/ QUOTE ]

What is that all we get, not much of a prize cant we have some inf or something or maybe a lucky dip

Gratz

Am i missing it but where does it say anything about shields, all he is talking about is fire shield and looking at his power trys id say he was a fire tank or scrapper

Gratz

Dont forget that pb/ws have been around alot longer than the villain epics so of course they are going to be better, that said i still would rather play my pb over a villain epic.
