    Arena stuff

    Duels are best between friends and to test builds, unless you are limited to same/very similar ATs the rock/paper/scissors factor kicks in big time.

    I was just thinking a similar counter theory this morning. This thread inspires me to rework my shield/ss tank's PvP build for zones.

    Not to nitpick, but I assume you mean fighting instead of fitness here?
  5. So 1 person 4-starred your arc and you are ready to quit MA altogether? I may have 5 starred less than 5% of the arcs I've run (I've 1 starred far more than that) as only exemplary arcs deserve 5 stars.

    Server Merger...

    I find this odd that this is on Freedom, by far the easiest server to find a team on. I've been on Freedom (except for a few earlier toons that never teamed) since free transfers and have no issue getting on or assembling a decent team.

    Ran an all rad and/or ill ITF followed bu most of the same players for an STF last night on Freedumb (I ran my ill/therm then moved my fire/rad over for the STF) It was hella fun.

  9. i13 PvP is idiotic but Freedom RV gets fun when it's busy.

    whenever we did 8v8s and masterminds came out to shut down stalkers, and aggressive therms became part of the lineup, the game became a lot more interesting.
    I agree with barrier here. I also revise my prior statement to say I'd like 20 person roster caps so I can have more rookies.

    2 ills would be best but you can trow enough imps at him. Heck, when Walt ran the all defender STFs we'd just deboof and ignore LR.

    I tanked LR in STF once (our 39 minute no deaths, NON-master run) with that blaster as the tank got distracted. Again, boof meh!

    I'd like to see an all colds ITF or STF.
  16. Slax's words of wisdom as a team leader: "boof meh".- Hedgefund in Herc's thread.

    Moving the derail to here.

    Thing is my zen management style works, Hedge.
  17. I for one was laughing for much of the second half. The again I'd like to see at least one NJ team in the playoffs.
  18. I nominate myself for best TF leader as I lead folks to their doooom better than anyone.

    I think this is a good idea. Please find the upcoming parody in the dUmb thread as an homage.

    Damage always good. fire/kins are better farmers than PvPrs now, if we use a kin it would very likely be a corrupter.

    The answer is of course yes. Does that mean you want on the roster?

    Best case- follow the trend and sell what you have of the temporarily manipulated item (or ticket roll like mad then do the same) profiting without the work.

    Worst case you overpay a bit for something you need noa. If this bothers you you're either way too cheap or terminally stupid. Cheap as in "ZOMG that component I need is 100k when it was 5 yesterday." in a market where most decent IOs are 10-100 million each and 100k is "earned" in a decent AoE attack. Frankly you're clueless about the market if you've a "veteran" and don't have a billion or so laying around.

    No and I plan on farming tyrant when GR comes out :P
  24. We may not be a cult but we'll be entering a roster on the Freedom PvP ladder. Please post you globals and toons you can play on FREEDOM (or are willing to move) for PvP in this thread.

    @Slax, @Slax2- blaster, stalker, tank, corr, MM, etc
