Don't be too hard on yourself Kat.
Taunt can be pretty useful on a scrapper, it still does -range and in 2v2s or small teams you can taunt the target off of your teammate.
Taunt CAN be useful in some situations, my point was that it's not nearly as useful as IH on a Regen, but it is fair to point out that Taunt isn't utterly useless. I think for general zone play, taunt on Scrappers is fairly useless, and I doubt this guy is going to take his KM/Regen into arena matches. -
Quote:Yeah I will agree with Psy on the ice dom, not really a great idea to roll one for PvP these days, unless you like faceplanting while being outdamaged by every other ranged toon out there. /fire doms are the only doms that are really effective anymore, and that can be paired with quite a few primaries and be pretty good.Originally Posted by Ryan11
I wanted to make a new toon eaither dominator or corrupter, but it's been awhile since I pvp.. What's good? Perf ice an would like to avoid psy. I'm not VIP so he won't be iod out just wanna have some fun any suggestions
As for a corr, the only reason I would make a corr is for Poison, as most corr combos are outperformed by their Defender counterparts, but Defenders obviously don't have Poison. -
Quote:lol... @Neeto, I would take IH over taunt, taunt is pretty crappy on Scrappers, not sure why it's even an option for you to take taunt over IH. IH is one of the things that makes regens, well, regens. There's no Regen build out there that doesn't have it.Originally Posted by MrLiberty
Both
There's also more or less no KM build out there without Siphon Power... even though it's not a real BU, it still gives you a noticeable damage boost, particularly in long fights.
Also, I'm very dissapoint in myself for offering advice to someone making a KM/Regen. My REAL advice is that you don't roll a Scrapper at all, but if you must, then read above. -

Siphon Power is a essential power to reach the maximum potential of the KM set.

Hay, Zwillinger, do you know that there are still people who haven't received their codes yet, including somebody very important? You know, just that guy who lead this league single handedly, no biggie.
Also, to be fair, I did PM you about this and never got a response over the past 1-2 weeks now. That Rulu-Shin thing is amazingly cool, and I want it. Make it happen. -
The only one of those I would NOT reccomend is dark/mental, dark has much more synergy with EM then MM. If I had to choose one... I would go dark/em, was fun on a cheap build when I had mine for a week or so.
Also, proc'd out Blaster Dark Blast can wreck faces, especially if you can get your attack chain off quickly (which is another reason EM is nice, for BR). Powerboost gives a noticeable boost to your heals and -tohit, coupled with frozen armor you might even drop people's chance to hit you! -
Quote:Oh I understand, I'm just telling you straight up despite your intentions, this will favor fightclub toons over anything else, although a good MM would probably wipe the floor with any melee toon in a cage match. That was my argument for just making it a fightclub tourny, because fightclub builds are the ONLY thing that will have a chance at competing in this, not considering the MM.Originally Posted by Pain
It is obviously built towards fightclub/melee characters, was just leaving the option open for anyone who wanted to bring a ranged toon as there are plenty that give melee (and any) characters good fights. I was not trying to be elusive with the way I described the tournament, I was just explaining the rules as I thought they should be.
Most ranged players would just see this as a waste of time, and even if any do participate, they will just get trampled by all the decked out fightclub builds. -
As much as I like to continue to crap on this game about it's flaws and how I think pre-i13 was better, looking back at it logically, i12 had as many broken things as post-i13. There are a lot of things about post-i13 that I absolutely hate, but not all of it is bad. The problem I have is this idea that because something about the game changes, it allows bad players to become instantly good. The gap between bad and good IS smaller then it was pre-i13, but if you were bad pre-incarnates, you will be bad post-incarnates. There is still a noticeable difference between good and bad players, and claiming somebody is only good because of their build or incarnates is pretty ridiculous. Barrier covered most of what I would argue about post-i13 vs. pre-i13 in his own way.
To clarify, I still think this game is in a pretty bad state, but I think at this point it has a lot more to do with the community then the game itself, and also the lack of any dev support. For a long time I was comfortable to rebuke any statement made about people turning away from PvP due to the community, but lately I am seeing how that statement can actually be pretty justified in some cases, and I am by no means a care bear or anti-trash talk.
As much as I love being a dick around here, I would be the first person to help a new player because I really do think the community is the problem, not necessarily the game in every case. I may not play this game much anymore, but I think it's pretty obvious at this point. I would love to see all of us bitter vets replaced by newbies who are starting fresh, we've been around too long and it shows in the way we act. I also think that this applies to the development team, who apparently have a hard time of adapting to new demands in the MMO industry (See: Bad developer posts). I would love to see Posi replaced by somebody fresh and new with new ideas for this game, for example.
Walls of text are fun. -
Quote:This is true, and just because you have expensive IOs in your build doesn't make it good. It's possible to make good builds using very few expensive IOs with smart slotting.Originally Posted by MrLiberty
Sets like that only matter if you are trying to 1 v 1 someone. In city of heroes 1 v 1's come down to 90% build/gear/luck with procs 5% knowledge and 5% skill. And I'm probably being generous with the latter two stats.
Without them (ultra expensive io's) in zones, you'll be at a disadvantage but with teammates they can be overshadowed and you can still perform your role.
The only thing I would argue is that 1v1s and the like have slightly more emphasis on skill and tactics then people give them credit for, though I would still put emphasis on build at about 70-80%, so builds are still the most important thing in 1v1s. To think that 1v1s are somehow completely void of any skill is pretty naive though, or you wouldn't have people that are consistently winning duels. I would also say that skill is the wrong word to use, because skill in this game is more about tactics and logistics then what video-game skill would normally equate to.
ANYWAYS, this post is borderline srs, so I will stop here. -
So, yeah, ignore people who QQ about Purples and PvP IOs, you can still make a viable zone toon without them easily, and I will second Elec and Regen as your best options for KM. I would also strongly recommend Devices Mastery or whichever the one is that gives you Webnades and Targetting Drone, and then probably SS/SJ/Phase/Tough.

Quote:I'm not sure why you would bother to make it cage only then, but okay, technically it's not a fight club tourny.Originally Posted by Mercury_Down
This is not a fightclub tournament. Fightclub is strictly for melee types. Good luck on your tournament OP.
Don't let me hating on your tourny stop you from running it by the way, I hate on just about everything. -
Why don't you just call this what it is? A fiteklub tourny.
