    phase was always a must for team pvp. whether or not you needed to use it is another question. back before i13 i only used to use it maybe once a match. i don't use it at all now even though i still have it. i use it more by accident then anything else.
  3. In regards to DR, there's really only 2 options and it falls down to majority preference. Do you want to put up with marginal buffing and heal decay or resistance bonus?

    As for spawn camping, it's very possible and easily exploitable.

    The only way to eliminate this problem is to make everything exactly the same, and [u]that makes everything dull and boring[u].

    Rendering a few sets great and almost everything else garbage does not?

    With the big variety of powers in this game, it's complicated to see that powers are balanced, standarized and made equivalent. But the way things are (for years now) isnt like anyone is even trying too hard.

    The same thing can be said for PvE. I'm not sure why everyone continues to apply this to PvP. When you want an AoE Blaster for a TF, you bring a Fire Blaster, not an Ice Blaster. Does this mean Ice needs a buff? Hardly. It's probably one of the best PvE single-target sets. The very nature of PvP ensures that some sets will always be better than others. There's nothing you can do to bring, say, AR up to par with Sonic, other than massively increasing its PvP damage.

    Any skilled player could take any garbage build and do reasonably well in zones. This could apply in certain arena matches too. The only time build actually made a significant difference were in ladder matches and duels. Even then, that's still questionable.
  5. In i13, MM's didn't get any defensive bonuses that most other ATs got. Neither did their pets. So while you got 40% resistance to everything (subject to DR) the MM got nothing. While you got a huge damage increase, the MM got a decent damage increase. But lets face it, MM damage sucks. It's their pets that do the real damage.

    Basically, you do more damage and got some bonus resistance. The MM does slightly more damage (with his attacks, not his pets) and didn't get any bonus resistance. So you hit him harder and he got nothing to counter it.

    That should be the case for most situations. I know I've 2 shotted Ownage on a necro/poison MM with my fire/rad after containment nerf. I've also beaten max fairly easily. But that was a while ago so unless he got a new uber build to counter me then
  6. i didnt even know i did a ladder match to get to #2
  7. i can beat both of your doms silly
