Quote:My favorite toon is a fire/fire scrap with a build that I am very happy with for zone play and KBs (when I can get in them). I currently run Concealment, Fitness, SSpeed, SJump.
However I am having some trouble consistently winning in duels. I mostly run into psi/ems, therms, some doms. A friend of mine suggested I swap concealment for medicine, as he says fire armor with the amount of recharge I have would be super hard to kill with HD off. He also believes I should go body epic for FA and LBE (hold proc + -resist proc).
I just wanted to hear what you guys thought.
As a side note I hate aidself, however if it is a must for a fire armor dueler I will learn to like it.
first off you are going to have a hard time beating psi/em with a fire scrapper. As for therms wait a few weeks and you will be straight fighting them. Go fire mastery and pick up char and fire blast, and proc the hell out of them. Take tactics instead of phase. Thats why regin is so much better because you can take phase and tactics. thats about as good as you can do with that build. -
We can still do matches on Live.....that was agreed upon before this ladder even started. As for test i PMed Mod 8 about test only being able to hold 25, so we will see what comes of it.

Not well. DP dmg is just not there. If you want a blaster for 1v1 roll a psi/em.

Quote:dev is way better in high end pvp then mental. mainly because you can go phase/force and dont have to worry about taking tactics. Yes you miss out on bu, but dr wrecks dmg buffs anyway. you have way more utility with dev then mental. only resason you would take mental is for broken drain psyche that even keeps you at 0.00 end/sec even in rest with geas going. thats the only resaon i would ever go mental. anyway if you are not going to roll a psi/em (you should) go psi/dev.I really don't like /dev. its got some nice disruption tools, webnade and trops. and you get constant tohit percep and stealth from the set but thats about it. it doesn't add any damage or the ability to spike (or boost range).
the fire/mm would be better since you do get BU, DP is nice sapp, and scare is very useful. -
Quote:Did lab give you the vent info?Hey Neuronia and Psoma!
Yeah, I let him keep my account active while I was gone. Despite my "DEVS RUINED PVP!!1!" anger, I figured it wasn't worth denying a friend an IO'd fire/kin. (I've been gone so long, is that still even the farm toon?)
I am planning on reinstalling and taking a look around either tonight or tomorrow. Nice that you can turn off all the stuff in arenas, but yuck yuck yuck that suppression is still in zones. The thing I loved most about CoH pvp was the movement, and it sucks if you don't have that when messing around in zones. And if I'm correct that no HD means no heal decay, which means there still is heal decay in zones, well bleh.
Hopefully I'll be able to get in a game of kickball or something at some point, it would be a shame to come back to visit and not be able to do my favorite part of the game. -

Stay out of range, and you won't get droned. How hard is that?

It really depends on what you are considering when you say what is the best and what is not.
Team (ladders/leagues)
1. Psi/Em - 80 foot attacks and delayed dmg.
2. Archery/Em - Stun + 80 foot attack on blazing arrow. (instant Dmg like i12 style)
3. Sonic/Em - Stun + -res
4. Fire/Em - Fall's really low due to the fact that blaze does horrible dmg and fire blast roots like shout now.
5. Rad/Em - Have one cant stand playing it. Cosmic burst has horrible range.
1v1's
1. Psi/em - Placate proc...enough said.
2. Fire/em - Flares is beast when double proc.
3. Archery/em - Have yet to lose to a sonic or rad.
4. Sonic/em - Has the -res going for it..thats about it.
5. Rad/em - ..... -

Quote:The Myth, The Man, The Legend. Black Barrier.Yeah. This.
I seriously don't care if the Cathedral of Pain is coming back, you guys already made it so that you don't need to have a supercomputer to do that crappy SF villainside, and we know that in the end, you're just gonna back off and make it the Cathedral of Pain Trial, which starts in some random co-op zone.. blah blah blah, etc etc.
My point is, this announcement is only relevant to the PVP community if one of the following conditions is met:
1. Cathedral of Pain includes PVP based on i12 rules.
2. I can PL a toon from 1-50 in 45 minutes again.
3. That's basically it.
I vote someone move this thread off of the PVP forums. -
