I'm predicting that, for purposes of balance, they might just create 1 new PvP zone where the rogue rules apply. Otherwise, when you walk into any of the 'normal' zones, you'll temporarily be sided with your faction.

It doesn't make much thematic sense, but I can't see the devs letting Blaster/Stalker/Brute chaos happen, with the current condition of PvP.

You should consider dropping Strength of Will and Resurgence for Electrifying Fences and Ball Lightning. On my Elec/WP, I go through Lightning Rod-->Thunder Strike, and then I'm left staring at the mob, picking off single targets. The patron powers definitely help, as they hit multiple enemies reliably.

not a big fan of TS, why does it take half a minute to jump?

I'm not sure, but something about that power is extremely satisfying.

Wait till i16 when we get Demon Summoning and Dual Pistols.

you may be partially (if not fully) right since the announcement said "Maelstrom, a pistol-wielding hero gone rogue" but it didnt say dual wield or "pistols" indicating plural. but I suspect that it is talking about dual wield. we may not actually get the new power set in that expansion since they are powers a signature NPC has but its also a strong possibility that they will offer a new arc to complete that unlocks these two long saught after sets since the devs have talked about unlocking new sets in a similar fashion in the past.

Someone in another thread noticed that Maelstrom has dual holsters in the trailer, though he only draws one pistol.

To anyone who thinks there will be or wants a new "Spy" archetype... please, elaborate, what would this archetype actually DO?

[/ QUOTE ]
I was thinking about that too. We already have Banes, Stalkers, /Devices Blasters...

I'm kind of torn on what to roll. I plan to do zone PvP, not arena.

As far as primaries, it's between Archery, Fire, and Sonic. The damage on Archery looks great, I'm liking the idea of never missing with an Arch/Dev combo. But, I'm kinda worried about Lethal resistance. Any input on this?
Sonic, I've played, but I'm not sure if the other primaries are better. Sonic has long root times, which are more likely than anything to get me killed. Especially with the 40 ft. range on Shout.

Secondaries, I'm pretty set on Devices, it has the utility I need. However, I've heard great things about EM.

And finally, if I go /Devices, does the TP'ing onto Trip Mines still work?

4. C, Solo Zone PvP.


5. 3 (I feel that overall skill is a large part of success, but skill alone isn't enough. Hundreds of millions of inf is almost a requirement to do well.
And then there's all the PvP brand fun- ganking, popping, trash talking, etc. I know it's part of the experience, but I certainly wouldn't want to even enter a PvP zone if I were new to the game.)

6. 9

7. A, C

8. False (I don't feel that anything is having a positive effect on the PvP community. I feel that that power lies with the devs.)

9. A, C

10. Experience and all other rewards (drop chances) should be available, and in most cases be increased above and beyond the levels available in pvE (i.e., the percent chance of an IO/Salvage drop should be significantly higher for a player kill than it is for a pve boss. The XP/Inf reward for killing players should be significantly higher than killing a +1 boss)

Why is Freedom still down, and how long are we looking at?

[/ QUOTE ]
On Test, Ghost Falcon said the ETA is about 2 hours for Freedom.

I tried to search for the answer to this, but search doesn't appear to be working.
On my PvP Sonic/Mental Blaster, how can I max out my perception? I already have Tactics, and I have the Rectified Reticle IO slotted.
