Regarding the underlined portion: If you were actually using this as a public discussion, then the indicated line would be a bit odd, wouldn't it? You see, public forums and public posts could have interest for anyone in the public! So, this just goes to prove my point that this entire discussion should have been through PMs.

You are right though, I don't play on this server... but when I saw the OP, I couldn't resist.

Might I also comment that "OP" is not a verb. It is the abbreviation of a noun.

Sure you can remove Travel Supression and Heal Decay in arena matches which is a huge plus but until the global resists can be removed or altered you have to leave DR on which will always make it crap.

frozen armor needs at least 4 LoTG, u need that acc or won't hit most stalkers/brutes...

also for psy blasters u don't need total focus, since u already have a 4 attack chain that never stops... total focus will just get you killed since animation is slow...

i have psy/energy and the 4 chain attack is enough to kill most villians, total focus is usually only good for ice/ blasters... but still, its animation will still get you killed...

I have a kat/regen with every power slotted with anything from LotG, Kin Com, Oblits, ToD, to 4 sets of Numinas. Several 7.5% rech instead of purples for xtra rech. and i have yet to win vs. 2 diff brutes and 2 diff kat/regen scrappers. That is, when i'm even able to get a 1 vs. 1 and not have 3 stalkers just sitting in a zone waiting to AS someone. There's some real skill there.

Which brings me to another question. Why is Invisible on blue not as good as Hide for stalkers? Every time i'm invisi, i am always hit by someone. lol. Is there something that can be used to see stalkers, or is theirs just better than ours?
