I only use this toon at lvl50 PvP so power ordering isn't really an issue. Thanks though

[/ QUOTE ]

So why not take them earlier anyway? In the off-chance you happen to stumble into Sirens Call or Warburg, you wont regret the day you didn't put enough thought into that respec

[ QUOTE ]

I think im trying to sum up how bad domination is in these areas and i dont see any point in making anything other than a toon with resistance to holds for these areas.

[/ QUOTE ]

You're obviously just inexperienced then. What you're saying is like a 15 year old whos never been in a car before saying "what's the point in anything but a Ferrari as they are teh fastestest".

That's not meant as a personal insult.

plight is a damn good dueler (although he did cheat using tactical start with an end drainer, he wont be doing that with me again )



[/ QUOTE ]

I thought it a little cheeky when he did that against me, too

For a long time I have resisted taking aid self on my /em blaster, because it's a bit too fotm for my likings. It has come to the point though, that if I want to compete 1v1 against other /em blasters aid self is a must.

Of course this problem is only against other /em blasters and invis is much more useful against many other opponents.

The problem is with Power Boost and it's extreme versatility.

I would..

Slot Light Form 3 damres.
Lose Kick and Tough for Hasten and Conserve Energy.
Get Superjump instead of Jump Kick, becasue it will be useful sometimes, whereas Jump Kick wont really be unless you slot it.
Put 1 or 2 recharge reduction on Photon Seekers.
Lose Luminous Detonation for Dawn Strike (or Proton Scatter if you really dont want it ).

Ermmm... you get more resistance to energy in shields than anything else in the game. You get more resistance to everything than any scrapper set. You get more resistance to everything except Smash/Lethal than an Invuln tank. You then get phase without having to take 2 powers before out of the invis set, and unstoppable.

As I said before, the only thing a PB lacks is Mez resist.

Drop both Freeze Ray and Hover, and pick up Air Superiority and Fly.
Drop both Freeze Ray and Hover, and pick up Grant Invis and Invis.
Drop Freeze Ray, Hover and Conserve Power and pick up Combat Jumping, Super Jump and Acrobatics.

Just a few of the many options I would consider better for PvP without looking at the rest of the build too much. Not a lot of point of having just Hover and 3 slotting it if you have no other form of vertical movement.

I agree.

Also, using up a precious power pool choice on just hover..?

Yea, but it costs around 20 end, and all the damage is DoT (which is good in certain situations, bad in others). Id much rather just use an attack from my primary with similar or better damage but with quarter of the end cost to keep my attack chain going.

If I was going to make a blaster purely for PvE now it would probably be elec/elec (or maybe fire/elec.. hmmm...).
PvP the benefits of Power Boost are so great(double heal, toHit buff, Def buff, End drain and +spd being the main things for me (also slows and hold duration for ice/anyone with holds, lol), and that it's only down for 7 seconds while you have hasten on, it makes /em the choice, imo.

if it was capped at 45 then there wouldnt be much point in taking elude.

[/ QUOTE ]

If it was capped at 45 there wouldn't be much point in taking any defence based set.

As stated by someone above /elec essentially just gets 1 extra attack, which is pretty poor damage anyway.

Id personally much rather have /em in PvP purely for power boost and boost range. PvE both are highly effective and I dont think you can dispute which is better of the two as it is all personal preference (or experience as the case usually is).

No, I don't agree. Fire really is very good in PvP, highly under-rated!

Fire/Energy ftw!

I've never been quite sure why people dont like PBs, or think they're weak anyway.

You get dull pain, reconstruction and phase shift without having to take any tier 1 or 2 power pool powers.
If you max your shields you have around 55% resistance to energy and around 43% resistance to everything else except psionic.
You get Total Focus and Energy punch (Incandescent and Radiant Strike)
You get Unstoppable.
The ranged damage is a little lacking, but just taking Gleaming blast and Glinting eye is enough for PvP. The AoE damage isn't too bad for PvE.
You then get the forms and Nova if you're that way inclined.

The only thing a PB really lacks is Mez resist, but if it had that then they would be far too powerful.

Wouldn't recommend recharges in quicksand unless for PvP...it's perma out of the box

[/ QUOTE ]

There are times when you will want more than 1 down. I have it slotted 3 recharge 3 slow.

Just make sure you get atleast 2 acc in stalagmites and lose a duration. This power is the true PvE jewel in the earth set.

[ QUOTE ]
Also, stone ancillary pool is there for both testing and concept reasons.

[/ QUOTE ]

I have it on my earth/rad. Perma 1800ish hp from EA with all the accolades and a nice 800 heal every 2 minutes. Just leaves you without the big AoE damage.. but Hurl is still good for taking down the bosses.

Edit: Looking again.. I would lose fissure and pick up hurl at 41 and slot 3 damage in it. I would then pick up stone prison at 49 for the extra immob in PvP, having picked up stone cages where you picked stone prison.

This is because your lead power will end up being stalagmites, and you have no way of stopping them all wandering off after using it. I usually follow it up with Lingering rad which works a treat, but you will need an AoE immob to do this if you want to keep the mob tight. Although, you could get away with using quicksand, VG, or quake as the follow up, but they're not as effective... ramble ramble...

Count me in too Although for a base raid I may have to bring the almighty Zimmeny...

Hey guyz tomorrow ill be workin till very late so if u all agree to try do the match at 22:00 gmt(midnight my time, gmt+2) instead of 19:30 ill try to attend if not let me know so i wont have to be home and i get drunk or somethin and u get a sub ...
Well RL sucks and work sucks more ...peace out..

[/ QUOTE ]

Im happy to do this at 10 if everyone else is, gonna be running just a little late tonight myself, but should be around from about 8ish.

Also, I know Dr.Mambo is at work at 7:30, so hopefully he will be available at 10 aswell...

Im happy to fight 3 tanks/scrappers if thats what anyone wishes to bring...

No AT limitations at all.

If anyone's going to follow Plight's build and not the other 2 posted, please make sure you get 3 damage in TB. This should be total mob annihilation (except bosses), not part of an attack change.

3 recharge is just removing all the fun from the power.

[ QUOTE ]


i still consider pvping (1on1, 2on2 and similars) not-fun, unfair and/or boring, once some1 starts using inspirations.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yea, because as a blaster (for example) it's going to be great fun, completely fair and not boring in the slightest fighting a controller (or anything that can mez), or anything with mez resist if you have no insps.

/sarcasm

Awwww everyone wants to take Jum out of the equation.

[/ QUOTE ]

In our second match vs. chives i think all 3 deaths on our team were me, so would maybe be better taking me out

Most fun Ive had in the arena in quite a while. Thanks again for organising

[ QUOTE ]
looooool

[/ QUOTE ]

It is a shame I didnt get any screenies of me and jum whooping you twice in a row the other night..

And I still believe you only wanted Jum in the match so that you had an excuse for losing
