Jesus H ******* Christ sentry, you're a ******* moron. I honestly can't stand to listen to any more of your OHMIGOSH I'M RIGHT AND YOU'RE ALL USING POISON GAS AND BEATING ME AS I WALK OUT OF MY HOUSE. You are sad, pathetic, insecure, have a severe lack of logical thinking capability, and are a disgrace to PvPers in general as well as the Justice server. I'm getting dumber just reading your posts.
Congratulations, you're the first person I've ignored on the new forums. See you in RV - get wrecked. -
Quote:People that expect their Defenders/Corruptors/Controllers to be buffers are the kind that are constantly hunting Emps and Rads while overlooking Stormies, Darks, and TAs. Essentially those are the people that think you're not contributing unless they see something in their buff bar that you produced (AM, Cold shields, Fort, etc).Originally Posted by Alpha_Zulu
So a discussion in another thread was ensuing comparing Pain Domination to sets.
Apparently someone thinks that Dark Miasma and Storm Summoning don't bring anything of value to a team.
I tend to think otherwise, I would like to know what you, Defenders, Controllers, and Corruptor players think of this statement.
Stormies have somewhat of a bad rap because you're either good at playing the set, or you're not - there's very little middle ground. Storm's a flashy set, which makes it that much more important that you know what you're doing, because people can see when things go to hell and they'll know you're the one that caused it. However, a capable Stormie is a huge asset to any team because they bring hard and soft control, spot heals if they choose, can floor a spawn's tohit, force everything into a corner, or slow an entire spawn to a crawl, all while using Freezing Rain to effectively add another teammate (the -res really adds up).
Dark doesn't have much in the way of buffs, but like Storm a good Dark will be a large asset to a team. It too can floor a spawn's tohit, but doesn't really have the positioning tools of Storm. Instead, it's got a bit of hard control (fear, hold, stun), one of the best rezzes in the game, and a pet that essentially makes you a 2-for-1 deal.
In short, if someone hates on a Dark or Storm that's doing their job (people who hate on the Stormies that scatter everything all over the map have every right to do so), they're probably not the kind of person you want to be teaming with. -
Human form powers seem to lack slotting but overall the build looks good. Looks as though it'd be quite a bit cheaper than my permahasten build but I was trying to maintain usability across all three forms with that one. Given the budget it seems you had, that's a solid setup.
-
Son/Pain's actually not bad. You've got good damage, good resists, and very high regen. It's not as offensive-minded as a Rad or Cold but it's still a solid build.

The original rules WERE NOT FUN, so we placed our own. I understand not everybody likes them
Congratulations. I simply fail to understand why people get all worked up when someone attacks them in a zone that's specifically designed for player vs player combat just because they broke some imaginary rule that no one has to adhere to. It's not about respect, it's not about honor, it's about the rules of the game as they were imposed by the programmers. I don't see any options to disable inspirations or disallow leaving the fighting area, or even to deny all teammate buffs, yet you people insist that these rules exist. The only place you can guarantee you're not going to get interrupted is the arena, yet you refuse to go there because it's "too far away" (nevermind that most people have the Pocket D teleporter so the arena's really only one button click and a zone load away, and you can set whatever options you want once you're there). You also say that you can't find people - there's a channel dedicated to the arena, perhaps you've heard of it. In short, you have absolutely no right to complain or be offended that people are trying to PvP you in a zone designed solely for the purpose of open PvP.Quote:The original rules were designed to give everybody an equal footing as long as they built well and played smart, but we didn't like getting our ***** handed to us by people better than us so instead of trying to get better we imposed rules upon ourselves to make us look good. This is exactly why we get butthurt when people who can actually PvP keep killing us over and over.
Lucky for you guys, the /arenalist command coming in I16 means you don't even have to load into Pocket D - you can bring up the arena interface, select your options, invite the other person, teleport right into a match, and when you're done you'll come out right where you were before. Amusingly I don't even see your kind using that option, so you'll still continue to come to the boards and whine about how life is so unfair even though you refuse to use the tools available to you. -
Someone turned off their rep...

Alright, thanks for the builds.

Are people still laboring under the delusion that I16 is going to kill MA farming? Seriously, people, look at the changes - only things they're doing is killing boss farms and pissing off a lot of story-oriented authors who use custom critters.
If you're having issues finding teams, it's you, not the game. Make some friends who do the same stuff you do - works for the rest of us. -
Get wrecked, fiteklubbers.

Okay, so I'm trying to get a softcapped SS/Shield/Mu (going Mu for the two TAoE ranged attacks). Problem is, most of the builds I've found don't have what I'm looking for in terms of power picks, and the builds I've tried to come up with keep falling short - I just can't get the slotting right and can't quite hit the softcap satisfactorily. For this exercise let's pretend inf is not unlimited but I probably have a working budget of 500-700 million. Here's what I've got so far - can anyone take a look at this, pick it apart, re-arrange power picks and slotting, and get a decent softcapped build while still maintaining most of what I've got? If Hasten or something like that needs to be dropped, so be it.

Quote:lol, ok baddo. GUYS THIS IS SO SERIOUS PVP IN A VIDEOGAME IS LIKE FIGHTING SOMEONE IN REAL LIFEOriginally Posted by Sentry4
No we could easily whip out shivans and some warburg nukes, alone with tons of inspirations, but that's like pulling out tomy guns when u are 3 feet away from eachother. You don't see who's stronger, you simply see who can pull the trigger faster. "Wow look at all that skill, he pulled his finger faster then the other guy!"
Yes, i'm too lazy to kill someone when they are weakned, because that takes a lot more time and work then killing someone at full health. Sarcasm...
No, kicking someone while they are restained is what you do. You like an unfair match with the odds in your favour. You don't like a challenge, you like winning under any circumstance and think your better.
and no, you can't with my posts. -
Quote:Right, and "stand there and beat on each other while following some arbitrary set of rules and then whining when someone comes and kills us" is neither tactical nor strategic.Originally Posted by Sentry4
Population isn't everything. I would have had fun, but that's before i learned that tactics and stradegy *can* play a role in this game, it's not just pure numbers.
-
Quote:Yeah, it's true. Now imagine what would happen if all those fiteklubbers actually PvPd instead of standing around watching each other - the zones would have a decent population again!Originally Posted by Sentry4
The duelers really out number fc police in real game..

Quote:Right - more people play Defenders than Corruptors simply because they prefer blueside content or population. Open that amount of content and population to the redside ATs and I don't see Defenders coming out well unless they're dead-set on a Psi Blast or Empathy character (and once Corruptors get Psi Blast it's another nail in the coffin).Originally Posted by Fury Flechette
Corruptors and MMs *already* compete with defenders on two major Taskforces (ITF, LGTF). And yet there hasn't been a wholesale movement to exclude defenders from these.
Yes, Defenders are a good AT when you compare them to what the other hero ATs have to offer, but when you bring Corruptors and to an extent Masterminds into direct competition, their weaknesses start to show - and no, two TFs and a handful of co-op arcs aren't "direct competition." When compared to Corruptors, Defenders have a lower damage mod, lower HP, lower damage cap, don't have Scourge, and lack access to two of the best sets in the game, Fire Blast and Thermal Radiation, all in the name of stronger buffs/debuffs and having access to those powers before Corruptors/Controllers/MMs. The better buff/debuff numbers just aren't worth it, IMO. -
1. You need a dead teammate to cast it on.
2. There's a very tiny window during which it can stack - it's not supposed to, but it can. -

Quote:Not nearly as good as it was before the I13 changes (it went from being "ZOMG" to "meh").Originally Posted by PC_guy
good for PveeP
In regards to PvE, the combination would work very well. The -res and +dmg from Rad would help to somewhat counteract the high psi resistance you can sometimes find in the upper levels (Carnies, some Council/5th, some Praetorian mobs). Defender Psi Blast blows away its Blaster counterpart mostly because of its solid AoE and longer-range attacks (the Blaster version got its AoE mostly gutted, the numbers for specific powers were tweaked a bit, and the range of the single-target blasts was dropped from 100 feet to 80 feet). -
Quote:Farmers will go back to farming the missions they were before I14, for the most part. If people are only interested in the XP, they'll probably stay in the MA. Given that tickets are still likely a better reward per time than standard drops (unless you're hunting purples) and you'll still be able to hit the 1500-ticket cap easily on a good farming arc, people won't be leaving the MA in droves unless they're disgruntled authors upset with the way custom NPC XP is being handled. As I've said before, the only thing this change is accomplishing is bringing MA rewards more in line with standard content.Originally Posted by hedgehog_NA
Question is, what game will they go play? Funny thing about social engineering this way is that people dont always do what you want them to do.
