    regen/sharks = good.
  3. you can make nin work. if eps can do it, anyone can.
  4. there's a good discussion on blaster primaries in the archery thread on the other pvp forum.

    /em is sadly the only secondary if you hope to play with the big boys (freedom kb's, zone when teams are running).
  5. You do know you'll be taking orders from the guy that sets up tournaments with "no travel powers" on.
  6. i'm switching everything to villainside because having to run oh so many tfs to get the taskforce commander accolade is stupid.

    i'd rather pay 7 lowbies 2 mill each and be done with my invader acco.

    i believe that's an issue of courtesy.
    remember, even though the ladder has often positioned itself as a sort of antithesis to fiteclub, there's a huge tendency towards self-regulation on behalf of the player base (case examples: 2 sonic teams before i10 or so, myk screaming for a max of 2 forts per team as a rule, vori's, vrc's and DR's responses towards how renegades and ujl used mm's to neuter stalkers, and most people's responses towards droning and twixt-style play.)

    we were using no dr settings with capped resists on everyone back then...
    trying a sharks spike under those settings would have been the 5 man equivalent of silit hitting lunge instead of AS.

    But for the most part, it's pretty rough being a brute in PvP. SS does have KoB, which is handy.

    PvP 2.0 doesn't make any sense. Flurry? What?!
    no you won't.
    you will never catch anyone off guard with end drain unless you're fiteclubbing an idiot that refuses to kite. and dark melee is not good. period. siphon life causes heal suppression, and you have nearly 0 burst, which is what you really want on a pvp brute.

    DPS gets you nowhere if you have to chase your target around.

    the issue is still the resistance caps.

    3 well timed sharks will **** anyone up unless you're running 5 katana/regin teams (i'm gonna go kill myself because the mental image is a horrid).

    must be fiteclubbing cause lol@wpbrutes against anything that debuffs.
  17. katana was never good anyways.
    the only half decent katana scrapper to play coh was skull.

I'm sure you probably dont have time, but feel free to read my original post again. I simply see a lot of the pros on here being critical instead of helping is all.

    Even though you seem to think I was attacking you, I wasn't and very cool how all the elite came out to lend you a hand. Bottomline is, if you never LOLd at someone for being new and looking for guidance in the PvP forums...I totally apologize.
    tldr again.

    Here's my attempt at trying to be helpful by fast forwarding the convo...this is usually the point in these discussions where a lot of you call the offensive person a lamo, baddo, retardo and accuse them of having downs syndrome and using the internet connection at White Castle to play. Fulfill your forums PvP destiny.

  22. i have a spines/regen, fully io'd with pvp sets and purples, and it takes at least two stupid moves to get me killed.

    the trade off is this: you have to spend a lot of inf. on it. you have to have enough recovery sets to run without stamina (so you have have leadership), while also retaining enough bonuses to cap your hp (easy) and have a respectable damage bonus (a total of 30%+).

    if you have the money, regen will outdo a wp. if you're poor and/or want an acceptable pvp stalker with minimal investment, go wp.
