hmm was thinking a ice/cold troller would be wicked - arctic air and + arctic fog. Sweet.

crap ton of -recharge + -def/-dmg/-res/-end...and acess to powerboost?

[/ QUOTE ]

Ice and Cold together would be pointless. Ice/ and /Cold already provide the slow cap. Putting them together would mean one sets slows wouldn't be doing anything.

I guess it would just be funny to watch an Ice Tank be slowed (or is that not as hard as it was in i12?)

No I didn't buy it myself. It's not as bad as the guy that paid 850 million for a purple. Can you say extra 0 there too.

Drop Inferno, pick up Conserve Power at 32, and get Hoarfrost earlier for more slots. It's a huge heal, and caps your HP. Nukes are useless now, as they usually do about 20 more damage than your t3 attack, while destroying your end.

lolsupport

I don't understand the purpose of this passage. But...I may have skipped a large amount =D

Don't drop acro. With about 50-65% (regular amount of rech to aim for), NoPhase takes out the need for Double Phase. Aim for +Hp and +rech, and with either of those usually comes accuracy and damage.

Just so you know, Fire is no where near the god it used to be. However, it still is in solid third place, the first being tied by Sonic and Psy.

Get Flares. Drop Bone Smasher and get Total Focus.

The thing is, you don't LET a Blaster use Build Up or Aim. You hold them before they even think about it =p. And at that point, they're dead.

I see your points, and I should have stated that those observations were mostly RV. BB isn't active, WB isn't active, and SC is a joke because there are ONLY Stalkers and Blasters, where when you get to RV, at least you have a variety of toons being played.

I'll start out first on Stalkers. You're right, there are many jokes of Stalkers that can't do much more than AS a held target, that don't know how to really play their toon, etc. However, there are some that are exceptionally good. I would say I play a good Stalker--not the best, but better than most (trying not to come off as high and mighty, hopefully you guys notice that). I can AS a moving target, and I usually get my kills, especially if I really "stalk" someone, which I think is one of the more fun things to do as a Stalker. While the noobs make them look bad, in the right hands, like Dominators and Corruptors, they can be very deadly, even still.

Defenders, Controllers, and pretty much the support role--just from my observations, I have seen it destroyed. When PB'ed Fort gives 5% defense, when ST heals are doing 1/15 of my health, when Slows no longer slow, when Holds from Controllers are the same as Holds from a Stalker or a Blaster--that's when I see Defenders and Controllers almost useless. Rad/Psy's are no longer the one strong debuffer they were--all of my toons with a Hold can pretty much render them useless, even in a team setting. Kinetics is literally useless. They bring NOTHING to a PvP setting anymore. Their slow is negligible, Speed Boost and Inertial Reduction doesn't do anything--even the recharge bonus from Speed Boost is DR'ed to be lolzy.

Thermal Trollers I guess are probably the best option, but they are still a joke. Heat Exhaustion is annoying, but no where near the end of all worlds. I don't know about Duels, but Team Arena and zones, their debuffs don't really do much, their buffs add what, 3% resistance? Again, the heals supress, making them an easy target, and if they were on my team, would probably do better as a damage dealer.

And if IO'ed Doms were losing to an SO'ed Fire/Em, they deserved to die. Even if it is SC, lolFire, and Doms are much better off than they were.

This is just how I see it.

DR usually stops all defense from going past 20%. On my Dom, PFF gives me a whopping 8%, bringing me up to the 20%. I don't understand why it was really necessary to do this because PFF really doesn't do much anymore, but I'm still hoping =p (even though I know PvP will never be as good as it was)

I have my evil blaster just waiting to munch some heroes. The funny thing is going to be when the sole hero users call themselves picking up a vill, and find out how underpowered most of them are. And then all these years of us thinking castle had something against vills, might be true lol.


[/ QUOTE ]

LMAO too true, too true.


When Blasters and Scrappers fill the zones above ALL other AT's for both Heroes and Villainside (thanks to Rogue) maybe it will finally dawn on people eh? LOL, the only ones playing purely Villain AT's will be those who decided "not" to go with the Rogue expansion, all others will realize the "true" power and cash in on a Hero-turned Villain

[/ QUOTE ]

Eh. I dunno what will really happen. I don't really see people only playing Blasters and Scrappers. Dominator's, Stalkers, and Corrs are doing well right now, and Heroes pretty much have only Blasters going for them. I mean, Defenders and Controllers don't really have much going for them right now because everyone can hold, the once useful debuffs are lolzy, and the Devs seemingly hate any support whatsoever. Tankers and Scrappers are better than they were, but still, melolee. In my opinion, Villains have more going for them right now because they have 3 exceptional AT's with Corrs, Doms, and Stalkers compared to Heroes 1 AT of Blaster.

I see the same AT's being played, but it will be interesting to see which side people PvP on. I myself will most likely be playing on Heroes just because I hate the Villainside environment (and for some reason, that affects how often I play my toons--until AE, I had 2 level 50 villains, now I have around 10).

You think you would get something better than 1.6k xp and a Rugged =p At least a Badge, or even merits. I mean, if it took you 50 people for the second one, you think that would be a reasonable reward.

Why are people thinking Cold is going to be good? From all of the encounters I've had, and actually playing a Cold/Son Defender where the numbers in Cold are higher, Cold is basically a joke.

Am I missing something?

So basically, you can still get PvP IOs off the rep-validation timer, but it just doesnt give you rep?

Yes. It is to prevent rep farming (lol badges)

does this answer you question flu. you might want to actually check a few posts back from now on before you go asking questions that have already been answered.

[/ QUOTE ]

or if some one else maybe could verify from their own personal experience because a person's friend could have been lying? I mean while the devs had pvp recipees disabled alltogether i was seeing people in a pvp zone claiming to have gotten a drop when there was no possible way they could have.

[/ QUOTE ]

So what if I had said I had gotten it? Doesn't mean I'm telling the truth, just that I said I got it like my friend had gotten one. Just pointing that out, 'cause it really doesn't matter whether I got it or a friend did.

I was also in the match, and he said he got one right after one my teamates was killed, so I believe him. It was a Fury of the Gladiator for anyone who cares.

Imho, Blasters are way over the top right now in pvp performance.

[/ QUOTE ]

Not all blasters are psy and sonic.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yup, there's fire too, and from what I've seen/experienced (both playing/recieving) it's still doing dang fine as well. And soon, there will be Rad.

[/ QUOTE ]

Rad/em will be fricken nasty with how little stun res most squishies have. Couple dam/mez HO's+pb = ~5 sec stun = f'd squishy.

Not to mention as soon as they hit you they will continue to hit you thx to -def and lazer eyz has higher base acc.

The cast times are quick, but slow at the same time so will probably hit pretty dang hard too if corr/def values are any indication.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yup.


I think that vills sorta got shafted this Prolif round honestly. I mean...Trollers with /Cold Dom and Blasters with Rad/? Ouch. MM's getting /Thermal is the only exception, every other prolif was pretty much geared toward further Hero dominance. I don't even know why I'm surprised, but yea, as far as my villains are concerned, I do feel slightly cheated...but I guess I shouldn't have expected any less...


My one comfort in all of this bullcrap, is Going Rogue, which will hopefully finally grant villains access to Blasters/Defenders, so they can [u]finally[u] have access to REAL pvp AT's, and not gimmicks

[/ QUOTE ]

Seriously? I wouldn't really count Cold Domination for Controllers anything special--slows are still slows, and they will still be laughable at best. Slows don't do anything anymore.

Now I'm just hoping for Earth Assault to be comparable to Fire.

I'd be up for it.

Had a friend get a PO drop last night in the Arena while we were testing something. They are dropping in the Arena.

I really miss my first ever 50 Ill/Kin. Actually, I just miss being a Kin. I have I think 8 Kins that are now doing nothing, sitting on the shelf, probably never to be played again. I miss my Rad/Psy (which I am actually getting to play again), and my Fire/Em which probably has somewhere around 200 hours of PvPing, either on Test, in 2v2s, and in RV.

[ QUOTE ]
this issue acutally sounds pretty cool surprisingly

[/ QUOTE ]

srsly.

According to the ingame info, if Cosmic Burst was used by a level 50 Blaster in a PvP Zone--219 damage unenhanced. 70 more than Will Domination. Woo hoo Let's hope the Devs don't kill it.

Also, here's to hoping that Broadsword for Stalkers is comparable to Elec and EM, and that Earth Assault for Doms will be comparable to Elec Assault and Fiery Assault =o

Blood Mark, quit while you still can. When multiple people are coming in this thread and making fun of you, you should know that you aren't winning the argument, as much as you think you are.

I'm wondering if the dev's are even looking through this thread?

Maybe the dev's should read this and reconsider all the pvp nerfs they made. After all don't they want the customer's who pay their bill's to be happy?

Happy = $$$
Sad / Angry = No $$$

The really don't care. If they did, they would have rescinded the changes before the mass exodus before i13.
