ZOMG!!!!!

Ranged AoE Debuff, you will only get the buff from the radiated fulcrum (not the Siphon power style one) if you are in melee, maybe a bit more, range of them.

1 Fulcrum shift
1 Enemy

If you cast it away from the enemy, you get one buff (I believe it's 25% dmg buff). The enemy will lose 25% dmg as well.

If you cast it, when you are next to them, you will get the 25% buff from the buff which is PBAoE, and the buff which is Targetted AoE, giving a total of 50%.

If there is a mob of 9 enemies, and your team is standing within range of all of them, they will get 225% Dmg buff, and each enemy will lose 25% dmg. If you are in the mob with them, your teammates in range of you will get an extra 25% buff from your PBAoE.

So yes, in a way it is better to do it in close, especially if you attack, but it's not essential.

Depends... Mind isn't so good if you want to hold your own... Stone/Storm is very good for PvP. Ice/Storm is also very good.

I'd either go Stone or Mind.

In an RP sense of things, how would a BF do this?

I say this and I say it again.

Nothing is really, truly overpowered. Sure, maybe for a while, but there's always a way to get out of it.


If people couldn't have -fly, then I believe fly would be one of the best travels for PvP.

I think PvP is like a really complicated game of Rock Scissors Paper... Some ATs/Buils beat others, and some are perfect for almost any situation.

hmmm... no... I don't think so.

No, I'm pretty sure that's not right tbh.
Just have a competition, whoever sucks up to you the most can go in.

Heh, what I don't understand is how Fly is a viable PvE travel power but not a viable PvP travel power. It actually has advantages when in PvP but none in PvE.

You can fly to a mish while scratching your...

It's the lazy man's power

Well, Fly IMO can be a fantastic in PvP. I certainly know, playing as my Stalker (SJ), Flyers are just pure annoying. No AS unless I get a temp power than lets me fly. There are very few Flying/Hovering Brutes/Stalkers, so you can probably stay away from most of them. Also, it's a good hit and run thing, you can fly in overhead, one shot, the fly off, while they're crazily looking around their screen to see what killed them.

On my Fire/Kin Corruptor, I am actually speccing IN to Fly. He has TP atm, but I personally don't find this that useful for following people, only running away. With fly, I will be able to harness the full potential of 3 stacked Siphon Speed, so probably near enough teleport, and a hell of a lot easier to use, even though my TP was Binded to a Push-n-Click mechanism.

Pretty much anything has use in PvP, we just have to find them.
Look at when Stalkers arrived in the zones. People couldn't STOP moaning (well, not much changed reeaaally), but now we deal with em.

Just practice and you will pwn tehm.

There are some good PP missions, just try to look for people with them.

I hunted for most of my Fakes in PI.

Hi guys

I got this badge during the first successful Union Hamidon raid, with Blademan, when I accidentally hit autorun during the first stage of killing/arresting mitos - level 50s should know better.

I actually survived it which was lucky.

I didn't want to wait for the next raid to get this badge, with my scrapper Death Kiss, so I went into the Hive, got the Time Bandit badge and headed off towards the big guy. I then superjumped right into the middle of the big globule and straight into hospital, badgeless and shame faced.

I did manage to uncover the map a bit and it showed the location of the badge though. (vidiotmaps)

Just wanted to check with you badge hunting experts as to whether any of you have obtained your badge this way, is it worth me trying to drop in on the guy again and see if I can land on the badge location or should I wait for the next raid ?

Any advice will be appreciated.

I did it with Phase Shift, Super Speed and Unstoppable on my Scrapper... died, but it doesn't matter

I got it on my defender the normal way.

I know a controller that got in there with no help, just dropped all his pets (ill)

So just how good is the +perception on Focussed Accuracy?

Would my cactus be able to see & target a hidden & Stealthed Stalker? In range of Impale/Laser Beam Eyes..? Close enough to interupt an Assasin Strike?

Thanks for any info'.

Well, it's good.

And with at least 2 slotted acc in quills you won't get ASed that much anyway.

OK, quite awhile ago I made a build for my main (a dark/dark corruptor) but I didn't have the hero builder at the time, so it looked like [censored], but now I have the builder I can post the proper build. So here I go.

Slotting is whack. I can't help with the Dark Miasma part, but I do use Dark Blast as a set for my Defender, who is slightly offensive.

Don't really get Dark Blast, with hasten you can chain attacks no probs, and you won't really need to anyway, as you have debuffs and a heal to think about. Slot Moonbeam with 3 damage. Slot tentacles with one Acc only, and 3 ToHit Debuffs. Don't slot swift, it's a waste. For PG I'd put 3 holds one acc.

For the attacks, really put 3 damage, one acc, and two ToHit Debuffs, it's a big plus.

Don't slot ANY POWER with more than 3 of the same enh.

ah nice, ty.

Yeh, if you want to get as good as Swisslad here, or even if you DARE to try and be as amazingly fantastic as myself ( ), just practice. A lot.

Then go out, and do it again.

I challenge you to a duel against my Corruptor! Far, meet you in WB. If anyone wants to see a sapper at work, come and watch

Chi here, Assassin Sriker extraordinaire, at your service, taking out any bubblers in one, swift shank.

See, NW is a smart guy.

I HATE smart guys.

Thought it would be a good idea to make an Ice/Energy Tank for PvP, when I have finished with the batch of characters I'm levelling at the mo, which will be around.... Issue 31.

So, thoughts? Never made an Ice Tank OR an Energy melee Tank/Brute, so completely new to this.

This is really a spec for a lvl 1-50, not 50 respec.

Well, a few... Just go to your local library and take out some books on Comic Drawing. Not how I started, but some good techniques.

Meh, I'll take all the aggro and debuff them to [censored]

See, people think Stalkers can only play hit and runs.
Sure, we have low hit points, and we pure pwn if we do manage a One/Two shot kill, but we can still stand there and have a fair scrap. Some Stalkers are rock hard in a full on fight.

Yeah, but most Stalkers can just fit an AS in there if there's one miss... My Regen with CJ was avoiding a 2 slotted one..

And I get nerfed. Fun fun fun. Fun.

Leadership all the way baby!!!

Wow! How the hell do you manage that? My Stormy is out of end within a few seconds!

Don't suppose you could post your build?

I was thinking about getting rid of all my attacks, and going into leadership, but then he wouldn't be my patented DefenderTank.

Hasten is great. Whirlwind is very..situational. But it's good for some PvP, even if it has been nerfed. I get hasten on all my characters, well worth it, stops you putting so many recharges in your attacks.
