    Wondering because last night in RV my Rad/Sonic was absolutely untouchable against ranged attackers (I'm softcapped to ranged in PvE, so around 18% in PvP)

    The way I have Radiation Infection slotted, it's debuffing to-hit by 48.68%. If that is not being hit by DR then it's a pretty substantial debuff.

    The toon in question is awesome as a duelist, but if he fights more than one mezzer he gets in trouble quickly. Even though the mezzes don't last long, if even one lands he loses his debuff toggles. Planning on using him in tournaments and whatnot, as I'm happy with his performance 1v1.

    Also, as a side question. Is an Ice/Rad corruptor still halfway decent in PvP or did the animation time thing kill their performance? I have a slot open on my home server and I'd like a ranged villain to play around with in RV. Or would I be better off reversing my defender and making a Sonic/Rad?
    the other day my dom got hit with a melt-armor from a troller and it actually did -22.5% res on him, even with the patron armor on.

    afaik that should have not been the case. resistance buffs resist resistance debuffs, as per tested in the days of the i12 ladder by mel and a few other mediocre and ujl guys.

    something's fishy.

    diacon's an idiot.

    i was rolling around on my fire/elec a few weeks back and he went on a whole rant about how i was a noub that had never pvp'd up until that day..

    ...yeah.

    He's from NYC. Yeah, messed up, huh? He told me that on vent once when he was hanging around Freedom during i12.

Concentrate on your single target holds and the stun, flashfire..with dom up you can stun for longer (since you have no pboost). Also concentrate your dmg on your ranged atks. Since holds only hold for a short time now a dom and melee range is a bad mix.

    fire/psi is an exception to the ranged damage rule. a fire/psi's heavy hitters are all in melee. you basically start off with those and back off allowing your ranged damage to finish off a target.

    on a fire/psi, you're gonna want to concentrate on getting that tk-thrust in right after your target is held. it's sick damage and a decent knockback on squishies. your slotting there is adequate. you also want the acc to land that (since it includes a smashing dmg component), so you definitely need leadership and a bit of acc in your build.

    besides that, purple set in the imps is totally worth it.
    mental blast / subdue should have a crapload of procs, and mind probe should be well slotted.

    if you still decide to go /mace, you need to invest as many slots as possible in poisonous ray. the damage that thing goes is simply obscene + you can KS the whole zone with it easily. i used to slot mine with a lady gray proc, and achilles heel and 4 devastations back in when i ran /mace on my fire/elec and mind/fire doms.

    i'm gonna give you a nice lead in, and you look at the hard numbers.

    1. you get hit by heat loss, infridge and benumb. / melt armor + heat ex.
    2. add all of the effects on your toon when that happens.
    3. get shot at with fire/sound/dark/lolice.
    4. add up the net damage and multiply that by debuffed resistance happening right there. make note that this is a burst attack. now, noting your regen is stopped, calculate how long you will survive.
    5. go find arcanaville's posting history. find the post on "immortality lines" and the spreadsheet she used to calculate brute shield effectiveness.
    6. put your numbers in there.
    7. realize that the regen with tough dies when he gets debuffed, but since the regen with phase can stop a burst, and then manage living off of a net diminished dps (because of the outliers in the dps calculation, created by heavy debuffing are eliminated), it survives.
    8. get wrek by pseudocode noub.

    if your recharge is debuffed to hell on any melee toon, you built your toon like a downie, congratulations. i hereby award you the demon slayer. badge.

    furthermore it seems as if you've definitely not fought decent a cold, or even know how to fight a therm.
    if you don't have phase, you will die against a cold, you will die. you have to be able to remove yourself from the match for the duration of the debuffs.
    if you're dealing with a therm, pack your insps, ration your phase.
    if you're dealing with a rad, omg packing stun'nades is hard, huh?

    do i really need to spell out these things for you?
    seriously dude, are you sentry4's alt acct?

    Emcc's Fire/pain

    derailed side comment:

    when i took out my apocs from blaze and put them into flares, i wanted to break things for a week.

    but it's all about what you want to do with your toon, i have a fire/cold which essentially works down a target over time. putting apocs into flares results in a higher dps, but overall burst goes down a lot (no 500 pt scourges on scrappers), so i have to keep debuffs up a bit longer, but i'm more secure in knowing that i have the dps to take someone down.

    also, i've seen emcc's toons around in RWZ, welcome to freedom dude.

    essentially, i have a tick for people trying to push their values onto me (hence my extreme positions on limiting ATs in matches and trash like fiteclub, droning, etc).

    and in all sincerity, i think this is an assett to a forming community. if i can keep an mykonos-like idiot (HEY GUIZE ONLY 2 FORTS PER VILLAN TEAM CAUZ I R CAN'T HANDLE THE RENEGADES' FORT JUMP TEAM TOO GUD) out, i've done the the community a service.

    1. in my opinion, blaze is still better than fire blast on a corr. this might be up for discussion.
    2. you need enforced morale, drop grant invis for it.
