  1. does that mean that something like centrioles will enhance both the damage and the damage resistance at the same time? my mm is only 40 or i'd test myself.
  2. is this bug back? i just got a vet badge again and its barely been 2 months since the last extra bump i got.

    ive come to the conclusion that the whole point of dr was to hide all the numbers so people stop asking this, and other, questions. my proof is that noone will be able to answer your question because noone exactly knows. all we know is from players testing and even that knowledge is limited since all the ingame numbers are inaccurate.

    i know of blaster force mastery->repulsion field being an autohit unhide/reveal, but yea otherwise i'd agree offensive toggles suck now.

    saw someone else say this but, low level pet uniques will become affordable for all the new demon masterminds that will get rolled, and im sure there are going to be lots of people trying the AT for the 1st time.

    i think generally all prices will be lower since theres going to be a bigger pool of items. all this forum speculation is definitely fun to read through.

    I'm told that both Brutes and Masterminds are pretty much a joke in PvP, so that leaves Scrappers as the only viable PvP AT that I enjoy playing, but I'm completely broke blue side.

    Eh, it just doesn't look like PvP and I will ever get along. The one PvP oriented AT and powerset combo I could get into, is suddenly blocked from arena PvP. I'm better off just sticking with PvE. Thanks though, y'all.
    thats a pretty sad outlook, just try it with what you have and see if you like it. nothing is at risk, you might like it on something noone else does.
  7. for $600 you could get a gaming capable laptop. im currently using a sony i got last fall for 585 at bestbuy. it handles ultra mode a little choppy but its playable.

    im not normally a fan of bestbuy but sometimes they have decent prices on higher end stuff. ive been looking for a laptop for my lil cousin who just finished high school and heard they are clearancing alot of models to make room for the back to school lineups for this fall. if youre not in a rush and have cash in hand i recommend following sites like fatwallet or slickdeals, the latter was how i found mine. good luck.

    that just goes to show how good the "fighting" part is in this game.

    my 1st time through on hero side i read through maybe 2 contacts. the "fighting" was enough of a game that i didnt need story and back then there were tons of people playing all using powers id never seen before so it was all new. i still dont know half the stories but i have an idea of why zones exist etc...
    when villains came out i already knew how the game worked so i had time to read and enjoy other parts of the game. my 1st villain was a hardcore badger that did every contact while leveling and mostly solo'd.

    when i7 came out with its carbon copy ppps, insanely difficult rsf, and laggy grandville i think alot of people just dismissed it all and went back to heroes, never to return.

    also, you should remember that i7 and all the gv/ppp arcs came out 10 issues ago so most people have done them already, repeatedly since some of them are almost required. all the new people who see the older players all in rwz or ae will simply go with the crowd rather than the mostly empty zone their level range was originally intended to go to.
  9. noone can ban a power. its usually when something is "banned" that you should use it most.

    if you want to try something not melee id recommend a pain corr, its been called the ranged regin.

  11. i dont really play stalkers but i do know that with stealth running and no slotting in your travel powers you are going to be moving so, so very slow. pvp zones already feel like youre running 30% slower than pve zones, to go in debuffed would only amplify that feeling. i'd imagine it would make lining up AS alot harder than it needs to be too, but then again since its for zones i guess it wont much hurt your evasion since youll be supressed anyway after attacking or getting attacked.
  12. this was my sonic/therm build, i just changed the primary in mids since yours is fire. recharge could be better but who cares, its just a therm.
    couple notes:
    mine has thaw, plasma shield is pretty useless in most pvp.
    no pvpos, only 1 purp set that i split for 2x hp buff.
    cap hp, -41 kb, +10% acc/dam, +20% rech, capped travels, and some range slotted into important powers.
    it can pump out decent damage as my sonic/therm, dunno if fire blast would work as well without secondary effects. anyway, corrs arent really about burst damage. they get most of the blasts sets but in pvp you arent really a force unless you can leverage your secondary and as a thermal your teammates are part of your secondary. be aware of who will have your back and the distance between you and them and the nearest hero.

    OP: Like you were told earlier, if you can fit extra mez protection then ok whatever. But if you have to cut something for it, it's just not worth it anymore. Just stick to Accro.
    its pointless to include heal decay, noone leaves it on in arena and in zones its all scrappers and tanks vs stalkers anyway. so no heavy (hard)mez to worry about usually.

  17. looking at things like this in a bubble is the wrong way to do it, imo. you have to consider what people are regularly slotting and what powers people will have to counter you.

    an easy example is acrobatics, for an AT w/o any mez protection its like 100% hold resistance, which is why most people who build for mez focus on stuns or maybe confuse/fear/etc.
    and anyway people slot holds for damage now because of i13 changing damage numbers on all ST holds.

    noone focuses on mez resistance because even if you really try you still only save yourself from like 1-2 seconds in which case +hp would have served you better.

    besides all that, we need to have something for buffers to do dont we?

    elec/ss/earth would be a better choice than ss/elec/whatever

    actually it has a power icon now, its the same as quickness from super reflexes iirc.

    imo the proc is only useful in an actual build up/aim power since those are the few seconds you will always be attacking while in toggles it could go off any time and be wasted.
  20. i would skip slotting kin crash in gale, you really want it to hit and its got an acc penalty. also, its got a really short range you will want to enhance to get any use out of it. plus in that build you can easily make up for the 6th slot bonus with a lotg+. also, end reduction is your friend, especially in those 20+ end dropped debuffs.

    Build Advice

    i have an elec/mental i built to sap for 1v1 a long time ago, its got horrible damage but it can get the sapping done decently with the fear->drain->short circuit+blasts. problem is, since the damage is so low you will have to play more defensively since you arent pressuring them all that much. ive had people at zero endurance and still couldnt get the kill because of elec blasts horrible animations and low damage. just reroll and build something for just damage(thanks i13).

    basically. the amount of pvp across all the servers combined wont match freedoms zones on any given evening.

    a good litmus test of a server's pvper population would be to say something stupid on /ac. most other server's will be silent while freedom will bring the lulz. over the years, ive noticed theres a direct connection between a good pvper and a bizzare sense of humor.

    and to the OP: dont bother, noones listening.
