    other stuff that was rolling around back then (basically the people that figured out what worked in i13):
    ownage's dark/cold with medicine and hibernate (yeah, wtf). he used to beat people up while afk on that thing.
    kurgain's elec/therm, basically tied most forts back when they were good (heal suppression and ts on though, so think about it). they also had 12 second stuns in psy wail.
    johnny also ran around on an ss/fire brute if i remember right (this while ownage offered sexual favors to anyone willing to lend him an acct with an ss/fire on test).

    less popular:
    iniquitos had a sick dark/rad and a fire/thorns dom. both were pretty threaty.
    bleak had a mind/psi, but i only fought that on my necro/storm so i can't give a real assessment of what/if he figured that out.
    i ran around on a mind/fire, i was way bad though; so then switched to a necro/storm and lost one of about 20 matches i did on it.

    forst eld h is pretty dumb: fact 1.
    forst eld h's english is pretty bad: fact 2.
    conclusions: if your english is worse than forst eld h's, you must be pretty dumb. and that dude's english is definitely worse than forst eld h's.

Either way on a team the TA is more of a defensive toon because you end up mitigating so much spike damage. For that you really cant be on target. You only are on target when the target that your team called is the one you were debuffing anyways. And having to deal with more than 1 redraw is a pain in the ***.
    to each their own.

    my take on playing a fire/ta would be similar to the way i used to play my fire/cold in i12.

    basically, be there for the scourging blaze (400 pts of damage than an emp would have to heal through). that is key, especially in small matches, hence, start searching for locks when the countdown starts, heat loss is for those spikes. also mess with the offense to keep your team from getting killed (webs on a /mace fire/cold) and benumb therms and infridge the kins (now basically just do both things on the therms/emps/etc).

    so yeah, you remove that which doesn't apply, and i'd think 2 webs that don't mess with your team's kb are a pretty nice thing to have.

    Fire/TA Corr Help

    POST-ACTION

    1. imo, the main reason to go with a corr when it comes to TA is the availability of webs. if you're willing to go mace (like it seems you are) TAKE ALL THE WEBS. 4 webbing powers = stalker heaven.
    2. with focused acc, you can get away with certain build concessions such as being able to 6 slot gladiator's javelin without having to build heavy on the accuracy.
    3. spamming arrows constantly takes a toll on your end. i have an ill/ta that is nigh unplayable without end buffs (respec required.). in pvp 2.0, building for heavy recovery pays off, especially on toons that lack relatively heavy burst dmg (all corrs).
    4. if i had this toon and the money, this would be my build.

    So by your reckoning no matter the blaster I play any one on a stalker or dominator is better than me because they choose to play that AT ? ?

    Your not even on the same server as me and you have no idea how i play.

    So lets keep the posts constructive shall we?
    my post was constructive.

    read between the lines.

    my psi/em wrecks every single dom the zone with the exception of very well played ones (say people like snax, the disruption guys, or yeah.. that's about it.). in fact, i seriously can't remember the last time i ran from a solo dom in zone.

    story was the same when i used to play a fire/em.

    then make your case like a smart pvper.

    show the ice blast numbers, put procs in, and show how they compare to a blast set with a relatively similar secondary effect (YOU GENIUS PSI PSI PSI PSI GENIUS).

    net damage difference = around 8pts for the blaster. in one coherent attack chain.

    now, noting that the attacks with the lower recharges have higher damage blaster-side, yeah, in once you start hitting with mutiple attack chains the blaster has a net 20 dmg edge.

    BLASTER Bitter Ice Blast = 125.3 cold dmg

    Now keep in mind thats the blaster primary and thats the dominator secondary. Dom still does more dmg. And yes i agree that blaster's get BU+Aim. But Fire doms also get fire embrace that is 80% dmg buff that last 30 seconds. Aim + Bu last 10 and up about as much as fire embrace. Like i said blaster's got wrecked. ESPECIALLY ice.
    that's a dumb comparison divine.

    compare dominator ice blast to blaster ice blast.

    secondary effects are secondary.

    not every dom can do a 15 second stun.

    play one and you'll realize how misconceived this statement is.

    ranged dom damage is trash compared at the higher end of the spectrum when compared to a sonic/*, psi/*, archery/* or fire/*, as long as the blaster has a secondary with build up.

    melee damage is something else. but melee-ing a good blaster = getting TF'd to teh face. so yeah. shuttup divine.
