Mesmerize, Dominate, Levitate is your best attack chain so slot them ALL for 2 acc, 3 dam, 1 recharge or similar. I wouldn't bother with a range in TK, slot it for endurance reduction instead.

No stamina? You're a madman. Mind/storm is EXTREMELY endurance heavy, and whilst most PvP builds could probably go without, this one can't imo. If you're sure you don't want stamina, drop the rest of the pwoers from the fitness pool as they're probably no use to you. Replace them with the medicine pool so you can get your hands on Aid Self, which is a great self-heal.

I'd be inclined to go with the Primal Forces epic. Power boost is great for boosting your holds to stack over tankers/brutes/stalkers/scrappers mez protection, or break frees (if people are using them).

Hey smiles, you the man...

I have another event for you and for you police. I dont care you menaces about SG or stupid bases consequences of you pvp lesons... you only spare vanity and gangster brotherhood. See you there big talker and consider this a warning too.

[/ QUOTE ]

Will you be hero, or villain? Just asking so I know which toon to log in to kick your butt.

Update: 2nd game.

Union 25, Defiant 4

[/ QUOTE ]

There was a second game? When?! All my SG quit after the first match finished!

We'll have to do this again when the test server is de-buggered anyway. Most of us had to play with gimpy/lower level toons instead of the ones we'd planned because the copy tool didn't seem to work.

[ QUOTE ]
Sure, at Christmas Party... dont forget login with you villain.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm patrolling on the heroes side, so that comment is invalid. As I said, if you want an arena fight I can give you one, but I'd appreciate it if you didn't start any fights at the christmas party itself.

[ QUOTE ]
I will be there with some of my friends and will be a pleasure to meet those "some of the best PvP players will patrolling the area" to check what level they are at pvp... maybe are just those gankers talk a lot at this foruns and run and hidden a lot at PvP areas.


[/ QUOTE ]

Paragon Defenders will be patrolling for heroes. If you want to see how good we are, give us a date and a time and we'll meet you in the arena.

[ QUOTE ]
I have to say guys that doesnt matter if your playing a Blaster or a Conrtoller or even a Tanker. PvP is all about your knowledge of the games and how to use your powers most effectively.

[/ QUOTE ]

What he said.

I'm in, assuming I don't get stuck in PI again.

[ QUOTE ]
I will be be there to serve xan his [censored] on a spike.

[/ QUOTE ]

Sure. Right. I tell you what, you can describe for me exactly what the arena floor looks like. I mean, you'll be seeing it enough, right?

[ QUOTE ]

Operation destroy defiants hami raid was a complete success. If you would like to get revenge (or take your anger out) sign up now.

P.S. Unlucky guys, kind of sucks your hami raid was ruined but hopefully this be alright. We may even let you win to make you feel better (we at union are just that nice).

[/ QUOTE ]

You guys are so GONE TO THE AMERICANS!!!! it's unreal.

Character number 2 is now stuck. I'm not impressed.

Yeah, I'm still logging out in PI and I have been for an hour. This just isn't cool.

[ QUOTE ]
Kill em' all.

Grats G! I suppose I should really make some kind of effort now.

[ QUOTE ]
lets just send that SG in that apparently took down hamidon with 5 people

[/ QUOTE ]

How did they get over Hammi's regen rate and 99% resistance to everything with only 5 ppl?

[/ QUOTE ]

with Photoshop

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually, we didn't use Photoshop at all.

We used your fabulous 5 person hamidon raid guide, G (*nudge nudge*)

Good fun but not a patch on PvE for me I'm afraid. A bit too chaotic a la Deathmatch Halflife. I'd prefer PvP more along the vein of Counterstrike which encourages more team-based tactical play.

[/ QUOTE ]

It was way too chaotic, but I think that was the idea and the fun of it! You can certainly have some tactical PvP matches, and I really hope Bridger and Rockjaw put on another S4 next year where you can do just that

[/ QUOTE ]

Im sure they said they might do an S4 next year, but it would be most likely be Hero Vs. Villain in the arena

[/ QUOTE ]

Hero Vs Villain wouldn't be all that good, I don't think. I could see some kind of two leg system working though, based on each team having both heroes and villains. It'd just mean more time as each match would have to be played twice.

Finally a chance to speed boost lots of people and not get any complaints \o/


[/ QUOTE ]

People complain when you speed boost them!?

[/ QUOTE ]

I have a really good feel for how the in game physics affect my character, for instance i can cut fly at about 50feet or so and land exactly where i want, what happens when i get a speed boost is my feel for my toon goes out the window. That's why i tend to politely point out to the booster that i'd prefer not to be boosted and tbh i dont see what the benefit is of it at all.

[/ QUOTE ]

But the recharge boost is immense! It gives you perma hasten again! How can you possibly complain about that!?

RI is better slotted with 3 tohit debuffs and 3 defence debuffs.

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
You'll get about 10% defence for running hover, CJ and stealth stacked. I suppose that could be kinda useful, but you're sacrificing movement speed to be able to run these 3 powers at the same time. I wouldn't bother, to be honest.

[/ QUOTE ]

Is that all I get? 10%? Even with each of the powers 3 slotted with Defense SO?

If thats the case I do need to rethink that strategy both for pvp and pve I think.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yup, around that. I think it's about 2.5% unslotted for each, and around a 1% boost when 3 slotted with defence SOs. It's just not worth it anymore.

Who needs stamina?

[/ QUOTE ]

I need both. grav/ is VERY end heavy, and I loiks throwin' stuff.

SS does NOT provide any kind of stealth in PvP.

[ QUOTE ]

Talking as a noobie I see good emp controlling as:-

1. Healing! Healing! Healing!
2. Using you holds selectively e.g. hold the boss, or the mob thats just about to kill a teammate if your emp powers are recharging
3. anything else useful you can do without distracting you from your teammates health situation or draining your end too much

I see bad emp controlling as...
1.Getting yourself in a scrap and throwing powers all over the place leaving your with no end to heal
2.Not paying attention to your team mates needs

[/ QUOTE ]

I disagree. Healing! Healing! Healing! Should be done by an empathy defender. You're a controller, and if you use your primary well enough you won't need to drop more than a few healing auras to keep your team alive. After level 26, you'll have no more end problems due to RA. Just save RA until your team are in the fight and you yourself are running out of end, and then jump into the fray and try to drop it on as many people as you can. It'll save your team time in the long run, and it'll mean you can drop WAY more heals than you could before.

[ QUOTE ]

This is something that we'd like to add for PvE and PvP - something along the lines that if a player is at 100% health, a single attack can only bring him down to 10% - or something along those lines.

[/ QUOTE ]

As long as they can be hit again immediately afterwards, I'm happy for this to be implemented. If the change makes the player immune to attacks from the stalker for a few seconds, I definitely won't be happy.

[ QUOTE ]
Could this toon work in that role in the PVP areas?


[/ QUOTE ]

Yup. Make sure you're always spamming clear mind on your team and they'll love you forever.
