Solun_the_Hunter

I will try to get more details soon. This thread is just to measure the interest so to speak.

To get a little more interest going in Champion red-side, and since Doms are now a little more damage-heavy but endurance intensive, I am thinking of making a little leveling project for Championites.

How about an all-Dom "Superteam" to get everyone leveling some Doms for fun?

We can make our own VG and meet up nightly or semi-nightly to help eachother get through the lower levels.

Should be some fast leveling with full teams of high control and high damage.

Any interest?

reading comprehension ftl -
"Status protection powers still provide Hold, Sleep and Stun protection, even while other defenses are suppressed."

what word is missing from that sentence? Your first and second quotes just prove my point. Why do you consider acro a defensive toggle? How many defense IO's can you slot in it? Pre acro nerf it only ever took an end rdx. Now it takes KB ios and the description would fall under resistance if anything.

Look at fly and hover - both are flight powers but hover is not affected by -fly.

I think you are confusing the words "defensive" and "defense".

One means all toggles that offer any kind of protection the other means purely defense-based.

And I think hover is affected by -fly, it just has a really big mag of fly associated with it. Like +4 or something.

LOL this girl think she the Mr.Bigstuff. What are talking about Felecia I see Hammers, and others several sg conduct C.C. oftenly. PoN use to contribute alot awhile ago with several events. I mean were helping in PVP event which so far up 200mil. So stop opening your mouth like your king tut or the mother of champions... cause honestly your tiring to hard.. and leading to a epic failure. On a sidenote Mod 8 is not your friend.

[/ QUOTE ]

Exactly how much did you or any of PoN contribute to the winnings?

none ouch....please for as much as I love playing with you elf I have PvP events well under control. Perhaps more of your effort should be focused on finding a partner for next weeks event. During the raid yesterday I spoke with Cobalt about coming to play and he said he was available. I would so pair you two...like peas in a pod.

I would like to publicly thank Felecia and AOW for their uber generous 100 million contribution to our 2v2 events so we can keep PvP rolling.

The plot thickens...

doubtful...you have one level 50...

hey I will give you a start - a dark dark defender is the way to go for you...I can see it.

K

We should totally level pact and be BFF.

I'm going to start coming to this PVP stuff in the future. Need to make a toon though, my kin is pretty terrible.

See you guys soon!

My guess?

For our enjoyment.

Just set up a 30 min arena match, spawn imps, let them kill, and come back to check your loot!

[/ QUOTE ] \

That is an easy way of doing it but it doesnt maximize your chance for dropssince you could get a drop on your first kill and waste 10 minutes on a toon that cant get a drop. BUT since you said you can do it while cooking and such I see your point.

I use my Fire/Rad/Fire Troller mainly do to damage output. I can rad it up while its phased then me and the imps tear it to shreads. With EF+Char(Dam/Mez HOs)+Fire Blast+Fire Ball and the imps it only takes a few seconds to drop the target.

[/ QUOTE ]

hmmm not a big pvper and like I said, this was the first time I tried doing this....but it sounds like I'm missing an important point here....

Is there some downtime where you can't receive a pvp IO after getting dropped one?

[/ QUOTE ]

I think that's the 10 minutes thing he is talking about.

That was pretty good.

A lot of people swear by trap, but I can't seems to find advantage over Pain or even dark.

[/ QUOTE ]


I would say the advantage to AV soloing for traps is a super-spammable immobilize (very nice in AV fights), FFG which keeps you un-mezzed, and the perma -regen from constant poison gas traps.

Pain and dark can be mezzed, neither have an immobilize, and only dark has some -regen but probably can't keep the -regen on as constantly as traps.


Traps also has an acid mortar that can be slotted with achilles.

[/ QUOTE ]

O.o /poison has -regen, -heal, -special (can help prevent those nasty mez from the get go), and all of it's so very spammable.

[/ QUOTE ]

The -heal doesn't really help against AV's, not many of them have a self heal, just high regen. And the -special is going to be heavily resisted so they will still mez you, just maybe not for quite as long. But you will still be mezzed.

Poison is great for messing up an AV's regen and debuffing its resistance but that's about it. No regen aura for you and your pets, no immobilize and no real mez protection.

[ QUOTE ]
Dark Servant has immobilize, and you can take the patron immobilize. More importantly, you can have 3 sources of hold which recharge quickly: petrifying gaze, patron hold, and Dark Servant's hold.

[/ QUOTE ]


There is no way you are stacking holds through an AV's purple triangles.

And base recharge on Dark Servant immob= 15 seconds.

Base recharge on patron immob=20 seconds.

Base recharge on web nade from traps= 4 seconds.

I think you are missing the whole "spammable" part but nice try.

[ QUOTE ]
^^ This.

Force Field Generator, Web Grenade, and Acid Mortar alone make Traps a good AV soloing set. The ability to avoid being stunned or held means you don't have to worry about losing your taunt, and perma-immobilization lets you tank an AV much easier since you can avoid the big melee attacks and PBAoEs (especially with the added defense from FFG). Add in -resist and -defense to speed up the fight and you've already got better tools than many sets. Now add in -damage, -regen, and an AoE regen boost for you and your pets and you have a very solid AV soloing machine.

Dark has plenty of debuffs and some heals, but no +defense (AVs resist most of the -tohit debuffs) or status protection and no immobilize (AVs resist slows so Tar Patch isn't enough). FF has defense and status protection, but no debuffs or immobilize and no healing. Pain has a ton of healing and status protection for the pets, but no personal status protection and minimal debuffs, plus no immobilize. And yes, the patron immobilizes can be slotted up to hold an AV... but not as well and they use more endurance doing it. Plus Web Grenade stacks enough to hold AVs and EBs with immobilization resistance... it can hold Professor Echo in place right through his Dispersion Bubble. With most AVs an immobilize is effectively 50-75% damage reduction since they can't melee you, and it's also a huge damage buff for Thugs or Bots due to the burn patches. Honestly, Web Grenade plus FFG alone would probably outdo half the other MM secondaries for AV hunting.

[/ QUOTE ]

Damn you!!! I really want to make a traps MM now for AV soloing.

Just can't decide on bots or thugs.

I'm really surprised this didn't enter into a superhero game sooner but better late than never.

I'd say it is much more of the latter, I have found that the scariest people don't advertise it.

You've obviously never met a Marine before.

[/ QUOTE ]

I've met many. Quickest ones to think they are a badass because they have been trained to believe such a thing.

First to go down hard in real situations because the reality gets shattered.

There is even an expression for this type of thing that a marine actually explained to me but I can't remember what it was called.

But don't worry. You aren't alone in your delusions lol.

I still don't understand how this is supposed to provide a comparison to old pvp, by pasting some combat logs from a particular incident.

bots isnt so hot against an av unless you pair it with a secondary that can debuff a lot. why you may ask?

not so great single target damage and nearly every bot attack and ability has a long recharge compared to every other primary but merc controls.

can it? yes. but it's not just av's that will drive you insane. widdershins and biff as an EB will make you want to punch a baby

[/ QUOTE ]

Once you get to level 32 bots have incredible dps. Burn batch and missle swarm plus full auto lasers = dead av. But you still need to debuff their regen and defense.

[/ QUOTE ]

yes i know this. ih ave two level 50 bots fully io'd out. they stil lhave the longest recharging attack chains of all the primaries and is why thugs WILL outdamage them on any lengthy fights even th ough they do mostly lethal damage.

but hey what the hell would i know right? i mean i've only got a thugs/traps guide from 07 that's still valid today. i'v eonly got 10 level 50 mm's 8 of them fully io'd out, 4 of them having done all the dev created content and have nothing left but AE and newspaper missions. clearly...CLEARLY..i never speak from post 32 or post 40 experience.

[/ QUOTE ]


I remember reading that assault bot has 2 different blasts that each does around 1000% -regen or so.

Isn't that huge in an AV fight and wouldn't that make the little extra damage thugs do over time, not matter?

[/ QUOTE ]

one is 500%, the double is 1000%. 30s each. but he's gotta quit messing around with the flamethrower to actually use them.

[/ QUOTE ]


That's very true but I think he doesn't spend a whole 30 seconds using flamethrower, so I am sure it isn't hard for him to keep both of those -regen debuffs on an AV.

That is huge and that is probably why it always seems that bots/traps is the AV king. Energy damage + more -regen to add to poison trap.
