make sure you bind TP to a key, if you cant find it I will post it here

I'm confused... winning = fun

[/ QUOTE ]

and improving = more winning = more fun. teleporting out of range and phasing isnt going to improve you as a player.

Personally win at all costs is pointless in my eyes, its a game for heavens sake, on my stalkers i run like the wind but converesly I have no defence outside of hide (just mez protect) couple of hits and Im dead, trick is catching them. I also feel I improved quickly by playing with a self gimped build and still get in the thick of the action, kill and get out alive without tping or phasing.

Of course whatever floats your boat

dark/dark can have infinate end and infinate health with careful management, the -acc is great and touch of fear is godly. The DM set is more utilitarian than outright attacks but a well played one is fun to watch and hell to fight.

I know people who have and continue to use tp very werll I personally dont like TP in any form for pvp purposes, its too much like a "[censored] I must win at all costs" button to me, of course then you get those with tp and phase /em rolleyes, seriously dont bother with both as you will focus purely on surviving as opposed to improving your skills. When my alts run fly (which is extreamly useful) I always have ss running in tandem for any -fly, sadly with an SR build which is tight to say the least I cant really see how you can fit that in

Fire/Trick Arrow is the daddy!!!

However it is bugged, if you ignite the oil slick arrow on an inside map your pets will get burned and they will not return to the area that oil slick affected even after it has worn off.

Truer words ahve never been spoken

tough takes you to inv brutes levels of smash/lethal resistances but does need to be 6 slotted really with 3 res and 3 end reds. The fear pool is situational an dhas a long animation, awesome for dueals though.

Dont forget end drain , no end = no toggles

Ele/Energy and Ele/Ele Blasters

Kin/Ele/Power Defender

*/Kinetics/Primal Trollers

I presume Ele/Ele brutes can but I'm not sure.

[/ QUOTE ]

all corrs have access to power sink in Shiroccos patron power

and yeah elec brute attacks do end drain and /elec has power sink too

ice/therm and ice/cold are great sets

also AR/Dark is a really impressive combo, serious control, serious damage. Let a brute take alpha, fearsome stare, tar patch, flamethrower then full auto, cue mwahahaha's. I can solo any relentless mission on mine including EBs and excluding AVs

incredibly awesomely, I have build for this in the making, a serious scranker

[ QUOTE ]
don't know... it does disorient, which in the absence of disorient protection will secondarily cause a detoggle.... but no idea if it detoggles independently of the stun.

[/ QUOTE ]

Im may do as my tank got detoggled by a brute who assured me that he was just using boxing not autobrawl

doesnt boxing detoggle?

[ QUOTE ]
Remember also most accolades are just 5 HP extra not 5% extra

[/ QUOTE ]

I think you are mistaken, the hit point accolades are percentage based while the endurance ones are a set amount

Morgans build is pretty good, boxing is a entry to tough and as such outshines stone fists.

Aid self is vital and you wont regret it, i took it at 14 and never looked back

Any comments on Lightning Field?

[/ QUOTE ]

I think thats ok only if you plan on going against stalkers, and even then it is debatable.

Out of powers listed, power sink is a definitive yes though.

[/ QUOTE ]

The AoE defence of stalkers is too high for it to be that effective

[/ QUOTE ]

It's a good job that Lightning Field (and all other PbAoE affects) count as Melee rather than AoE then, isn't it? The only "true" AoEs are things like Fireball (if you stand next to the target, but are not the target yourself) and "placed" AoEs like Volcanic Gasses.

[/ QUOTE ]

Im somewhat suspect over the coding of pbaoes and indeed melee cones (which I beleive should count as melee) in the game as even with a double parry buff dm stalkers nearly always tag my SR with shadow maul.

That said as a stalker deterant its not much cop, it may stop a stalker 10% of the time, if this is your intention I wouldnt bother with it, far better powers in both sets to take

can I enter with more than one toon?

Max mentions that you have enough holds to break acro but you dont if you follow his advice and ignore bitter freeze ray (shocking grasp is melee and if you have someone who needs acro in melee range you are going to turn them into a greasy smear not stack holds)


[/ QUOTE ]Acro takes two holds to break, right? And with the elec epic, you will already have 2 ranged holds, AND one melee hold.

[/ QUOTE ]

then you are stuck at high end pvp and I personally see no point to a blaster having a melee hold in pvp as it increases the factor of something going horribly wrong should it fail to have the desired effect (as a hold that is, as 100% nrg damage shocking grasp can be very useful) but /elec has many other things you will want to use in melee. 2 ranged holds in lvl 30 pvp is extreamly advantageous should that be an area you wish to indulge in. I personally factor all my builds for 30/38/50

Point for point shocking bolt beats BFR hands down in cost, ani, recharge and duration but BFR is still not as bad as its made out.

I enjoyed beating 2 (good) stalkers (em/sr and em/regen) with my INV/SS in a 2v1 duel in SC. All powers were allowed (no insp) and it was a close run thing until dull pain rotated for a second application

Scrankers are the new black

yes if you can spare the slots

i ran with freeze ray and bitter freeze ray on my ice corr on the RV event very sucessfully, yeah the ani is a little long but not that bad and it a perfect antithis to acrobatics. Fire nice fast freeze ray at a target ouot of melee range, follow up with BFR (which has a longer range) Then go and smack them, its no where near as bad as people make out.

frost breath is pve orientated really

As for lightning clap, if you have room fit it in, disorients make squishies chew bfs like anything.

Max mentions that you have enough holds to break acro but you dont if you follow his advice and ignore bitter freeze ray (shocking grasp is melee and if you have someone who needs acro in melee range you are going to turn them into a greasy smear not stack holds)

Should you get power sink? DEFINATELY, it means you ahev no down time and is a awesome weapon against sturdier targets

Illusion/empathy controller is better then empath defender in the pvp zones.

[/ QUOTE ]

Because?

[/ QUOTE ]

they are more vunerable imo

[/ QUOTE ]

an invisible healer can be a real pain in the [censored] especially if they have fly, if someone drops them they can pet spawn in seconds. If I was making an emp again it would be ill/emp

[/ QUOTE ]

I meant empath defs tho stalk

[/ QUOTE ]

oops sorry I was siding with u then

Make the fight at lvl50 and the stalker has real problems against a scrapper. Equal skill scrapper pwmz.

Have you ever seen Captain Freon (blaster) fight stalkers in the arena? He beats them every time.

[/ QUOTE ]

have to agree completely here, my tank at lvl 50 can eat stalkers let alone what a scrapper cud do, the only stalkers at lvl 50 that have a chance are regens due to dull pain, the stupidly low health of others means with a couple of acc buffs (BU, aim, FA, tactics etc) can destroy a stalker at lvl 50

[/ QUOTE ]

i agree as well. i destory stalkers with my ice/energy in the arena.

[/ QUOTE ]

some stalkers

geas will destroy a sr, dont use it

[ QUOTE ]
So given that does it mean that Invul is now inferior to Ice?

[/ QUOTE ]

just different
