X_treme

can help u a lot but is this pve or pvp?

I have 4 main toons that i play, all lvl 50:

x-treme, my first toon that i have spent the most time on
X3, my PvE powerhouse and the toon i use the most in 1v1s and i think most ppl on union know him
x-plosive, my team pvp destroyer who can 2 shot any squishy including stalkers
shaman x, my team pvp empath who runs a lot,

and its shaman x who every knows the most and most people call me shaman now rather than the old "x". therefore empaths are definately appreciated

The problems that have occurred have been mainly linked to the players who couldn't be bothered to turn up for their matches and take a little bit of responsibility themselves.

some people work evenings and cant drop everything for a few days notice after there was nothing mentioned the previous week just cos ppl dont turn up dont assume they cant be bothered

and i still havent had a response as to why i've been eliminated

theres valid points on both sides, it has been a good tournament and xanthus and capt deserve a medal and a pint for organising it but there is definate problems with organisation going on

well i've still lost 3 lives instead of 2

so i've lost 2 lives for not being able to make it and organising a mate to use my character for me then

Which has made me wonder why known good PVPers from hero side dont make more villain characters

[/ QUOTE ]

I actually beleive its more down to being afraid of leaving the dizzy heights they are at on COH and entering into an unknown situation where they may not perform at a standard they have come to expect in PVP. But then Im cynical

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually, it's because I just don't enjoy playing Villains as much as Heroes.

We did do a villain team, actually, on Union. We 0wned sirens a few times, but then we just kinda stopped playing.

[/ QUOTE ]

I dont see how the content in COV is any less enjoyable but guess thats just me. I do know what its like from going from an AT you know inside out and can pound uo the levels insanely quickly solo (stalker) to one that has promise but lvls like a comatose snail (my ice/ice dom) and this is demoralising.

And of course some people have egos to preserve that means they dont want to deviate from a set routine.

[/ QUOTE ]

i have made a couple of villains but the lag i get on villains is rediculous. plus the [censored] zones and the dark dingy maps just get me depressed after an hour, can villains not afford a few lights?

Dont mind sha, he's a little cranky, someone mentioned his hair and ignored the first rule

[/ QUOTE ]

lol yea long day at work and very little sleep i've just had enough of ppl saying fly is [censored] when its down to all our squishies having fly that our pentad team of shaman, gatling, mambo, knight stalker and max powerz is undefeated. even the mighty LNM stopped playing cos they cudnt beat us due to fly. it was just the straw that broke the camels back sorry

[ QUOTE ]

What Shaman X does better than any other is escape with his [censored] sellection of travel powers. Fly is too slow for emergency AP, and yet somehow he manages.

[/ QUOTE ]

either that makes u [censored] or u cant get ur head out ur [censored] to see that what u think isnt good actually is sorry for the bluntness but im tired and [censored] gives u the right to slag off my build when u cant kill me

any reason why im eliminated? gatling was gonna use x-plosive for me so i dont see why i've even lost 1 life let alone 2...

vigilance is the dogs b******s for PvP arena team matches

Defenders: Hmm.. toughie. Never fought any defenders really, and the ones that do PvP are normally empaths supporting a team..ah stuff it, Cloe for giving me CM constantly and then fighting despite getting AS'ed.

[/ QUOTE ]

does an epath suporting the team not deserve as much credit as sum1 doing the teams killing? u try keeping a whole team buffs and alive while keeping urself alive and running from the entire opposition team, it aint easy

[ QUOTE ]
Remember, fire/kin does have -regen in transfusion, that's really helped me in my AV soloing, never tried a GM though

[/ QUOTE ]

indeed pre i7 i cud solo pretty much anything apart from lusca, since the regen changes in i7 i think its impossible for a kin to solo AVs or GMs, well definately GMs havent tried AVs since i7

what time?

just tried solo'in babbage, cud dent the health a little, he was doing hardly any dmg to me and was very easy to keep imps alive but his regen rate was too high to solo, cud easily duo him tho

it depends how u play, many see /dev as the new "uber" pvp blaster secondary and wud pick it over /nrg for pvp.

/dev isnt a killer and needs to be played in a controller type way using web grenades and caltrops etc to slow down the enemy, works great in a team but solo dont expect to be killing that much other than with mines

fire can easily contain mobs altho fire/kin doesnt need to, i usually, due to lazyness, just run in and use fire cages and kill mobs without holding any of them but just by healing myself off them. but flashfire, fire cages and cinders is more than enough to control mobs if needed.

pre i7 i cud solo pretty much anything with a few exceptions. i duo'd lusca and many AVs and was easily able to solo GMs and monsters. since then i havent tried any AVs or GMs as they arent about when i go looking for them did have a go at kraken tho and it was impossible to solo since the changes (before they got nerfed after the regen increase), but then teamed with another troller and it went down very fast. may be able to solo since the nerfs tho but not sure...i will search for some GMs in the next few days and get back to u on solo ability since the nerf

and yes containment needs a big fat nerf

my fire/energy has sj and ss, gr8 combo, super speeding round with combat jumping and hurdle is awesome

dont underesimate DoT, it also has -acc -perc -spd and knockback

r villains alowed?

Dont change anything until the number of cancelers becomes too high. It is extremely rare to make a time work for everybody and being too sensitive is hazardous.

if 1 or 2 cancel, it is bearable.

[/ QUOTE ]

i'm not cancelling at all, i just cant make this week due to work dont worry i'll be there to either defend the title or bring it home

[ QUOTE ]

Even FA is good. Against Fire damage dealers.

[/ QUOTE ]

two words...Fiery Embrace

for pvp zones super strength and stone melee are better than energy imo due to the knockback and range, in organised team pvp i'd go energy melee tho.

for secondary i'd pick in order: fire, energy, elec, invul

[ QUOTE ]
yaaay because people have cm from the empath so the -preception doesnt matter neither does most of ur hard controlling.

[/ QUOTE ]

so by that logic, all controller sets are just as bad as each other, how does that make fire worse?

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
then use your subs, as plight said i cant keep changing it...

[/ QUOTE ]

Why should we use our subs when you change the date three days before the event is supposed to happen.

Try a weekend slot?

[/ QUOTE ]

logically that wud be better for every1 i wud have thought, as long as at least a week notice is given

or set a date that isnt in the next week so people can plan around it
