I think he quit the game anyway so meh.

Nah, I just saw him on like 30 mins ago. Unless someone else is playing his account.

you take a group of people that pvp in RV and put them in Sirens Call i bet they do well. You take a group of SC people and put them in RV...and well...it's not pretty.

Eh...it depends. I bet I could put together a team of mostly sirens players (if they actually still played) that could own RV. Also, most arena players stick to RV since it's closest to arena action, so naturally that gives RV an advantage. Don't think anybody can deny that people with arena experience are better than pure zone players.

So overall, yeah, the average RV player is a bit better than the average sirens player. But honestly, the difference is fairly marginal. We're not talking sirens vs test arena here, after all.

Oh and yeah jerseyan, you have a good point. That's another reason why I can't stand RV after I13. The fact that the NPC's are about 5 times more dangerous than any player you'll run into, lol.

Tell Mat link to join the big boys and come to some kick ball and arena

[/ QUOTE ]

Pretty sure he doesn't care about showing his skills to anybody. I'm sure he's not as good as a test arena stalker ([censored], he only has SS and combat jumping....no SJ and no phase either), but he's definitely a lot better than average. Only reason I brought him up was to say that he does twice as much damage as my stalker with the same build, simply because it's a purpled build vs SO's.

As far as sirens being boring, meh. To me, RV is the essence of boring. No good player ever dies unless it's like 5v1, due to every single person having insane resists and phase+hibernoob. Also, 90% of the time, there's 20 vils camping 2 heroes in the hero base. Sorry, but that's not fun PvP.

Last night in sirens, there was like a 15v15 (at least) going on for like 4 hours straight. I got probably like 100 kills (no, seriously...I was getting ALL the ks's for some reason lol), with 0 deaths of course. Now that was fun.

Hmm....I just made a dom that I was planning to level up, pretty much just for sirens call.

A mind/thorn. Mind cuz it's the most damage at sirens level, and thorn pretty much for the same reason and also Aim.

With these changes, what do you guys think? Would /energy maybe be better? Can get total focus by sirens level, unlike elec's thunderstrike.

Best is catching an entire huddle with wormhole right smackdab in the middle of multiple drones. The tears, they doth quench.

I despise droners. Because I have yet to run into a good player doing it (just to mess with people). I know they exist, but I just don't run into them. In my experience, it's always complete newbies that are truly horrible at the game. And that's annoying.

What annoys me even more is their "excuse" for doing it. It's always "stop camping" or "don't go on our base". But that's a total cop-out. It's 100% clear that these people do it because it's literally the only way they can "kill" someone.

I mean, when there is really good PvP going on by, say, the ship in the water in front of vil base. That's close enough to get droned. Hell, even a little past the ship is close enough. But I'm not talking about camping. I'm talking about like 10 guys from both sides engaging in PvP, having fun....it just happens to be somewhat close to a base.

And there always has to be the noob that sits there and drones. And he tries to validate it with stuff like "don't get so close". Please.

Anyway, sorry for the rant. The point of my post was to say that even though I despise droners, getting droned by wormhole, along with a full team, is definitely hilarious, and actually makes me lol.

Reroll..forts are garbage now. Defense took a big hit last issue.

[/ QUOTE ]

And the damage was nerfed a lot too.

[ QUOTE ]
lol taunt is AOE...stalkers have TONS of AOE defense...most of the time i don't get taunted.

[/ QUOTE ]

Eh? Taunt is autohit, isn't it?

With all this suppression, I don't think we need any more slows, to be honest. We're slowed enough as it is from simply using ANY power we have, lol.

Haha oops, I didn't even remember that there was more than 1 shark.

So we can officially change "trow shark" to "trow sharkS"

It does more damage than impale, and has twice the range too.

It was nerfed in I14 too. In I13 it was flat out by far the most powerful attack in the game.

if i get KO blowed it doesn't mattter i still will go flying no matter what set I'm on.


[/ QUOTE ]

Incorrect.

Well I saw him again tonight and I was getting 60-70% tonight. Don't know wtf lol. He was still really hard to hit, but at least it wasn't as bad as the other night. Maybe he was popping purples after all....although he must have had a ton of them to do it for the whole night.

Oh well, lol at him for spending 20+ bil on a bane.

[ QUOTE ]
Is he one of those guys that build for sirens call only????

[/ QUOTE ]

I think so.

I'm not against IO's....I just can't afford them. I don't do any PvE to make money

If zone PvP got me inf, I'd be the richest guy in the game lol.

I think impale got stealth nerfed recently (after the official nerf).

I don't remember it being as weak as it is currently. Me and a friend were in sirens, spiking people. Two impales from hide with BU are taking off like 50% of a squishie's HP. This is without buffs on the target, and in sirens, where impale has always done more damage than in RV.

Not sure how to explain it. I told jimmay about it, and he said he'd ask someone in Renegades, but I guess he didn't.

No dude. Demonic aura lasts 1 minute. This guy is permanently unhittable....well, unless you consider a MAXIMUM of 30% chance hittable.

I was told (by his friend) that he's completely insane and has spent literally over 20 billion on his build. So it's understandable how he has a lot of defense.

I just don't understand how he could have THAT much. I mean...slotting tons of purples doesn't magically let you get over the defense cap, does it?

So confused

Maybe when you play with your friends on a good team, AS is all you need. But I tend to solo 99% of the time, and AS'ing someone just to take off half their health serves pretty much no purpose, since they either phase, hibernate, run to drones, or all 3.

There's a stalker named Matt Link in sirens that's fully IO'd out. Same em/regen as me. I look at him, and he does straight up like twice as much damage as mine. And he has like 3 times the survivability.

LOL at the game not being balanced around IO's. What a joke.

Only toon I really use in RV these days is Sabaka, a Inv/EM tanker with SO's. Basically he's useless. I play him maybe once a month. But it's not fun.

On vil side, I use Angry Lizard, a em/regen stalker. But he sucks pretty bad too after I13 and the ET nerf. I've seen EM stalkers do well, but only ones with insane IO investment. Mine has SO's, and with those, the damage is flat out laughable.

That's another reason I don't go to RV anymore. Running with SO's against fully purpled out people is just not fun.

I was a regular in RV before I13 though. Damn I13

I actually recently saw something that I couldnt explain.

I ran into a bane soldier in sirens that had the best defense I've seen in....I don't even know how long. First of all, they don't get elusivity. Second of all, they don't have a tier 9.

But this guy was just unhittable. I was on a sonic/dev blaster, and with TD and Aim fully slotted, and Aim running, I had 30% chance to hit him! With aim!

And it's not like I was doing something wrong or could have a better build. +tohit is capped, and there's no way to get more than what I had, like 105% or so. Maybe a couple % more, but nothing major.

So wtf? What % chance of hitting should a blaster at the +tohit cap (aim+bu running) expect to have against a scrapper with elude? Just wondering. Is it around 30%? Because if it's a lot higher, maybe there is some new bug with soldiers.

Divine you probably don't really see me, since I just play in sirens since I13 came out and level 50 PvP turned into a joke.

Also, I13/14 completely destroyed ALL my vils, so I barely play them anymore.

So that means I don't really go up against any trollers with PB. And even if I do, it's on my stalker, which has his own mez protection.

In sirens, I do get held on my squishies by doms with domination up, but they don't really do enough damage at sirens level to kill me. Only time I die is if it's a dom + good stalker....and as you know, that's not a likely scenario in sirens

Good!

Also impossible.

It's certainly more competitive and less reliant on builds than it is on strategy and skill.

[/ QUOTE ]

Hahaha! Good one.

Current strategy: Mash buttons to use attack powers, while your opponent does the same. Hope that you do MOAR DAMAGE than him. If that fails, hibernate and then phase.

Yep....tons of skill, and really extensive strategy.

I don't have it on any of my toons anymore.

Only mezzes I really fear these days are those from NPC's, and those are so broken, that even acro wouldn't help.

Fire is a lot better. All you had to do was not stand directly next to him the entire duel. Kiting is the best way to beat WP.
