If target X has been hit with Damaged Caped at Y then timer A starts any further attacks will “Miss” until the timer runs out!

[/ QUOTE ]

That would be awful. Stalkers are dead in SECONDS after they AS. If you take the one shotting out, they should at least be able to follow up with another attack rather than being forced to just run away instead.

Taking the one-shot out of AS will just mean I'll change my tactics from one-shotting to using AS, tping away and then impaling them instead.

I reckon the Paragon Defenders will be around to...um...defend Paragon

[/ QUOTE ]

Well I was only going to go so I could bash people, but I suppose we could do some Paragon defending while we're there.

Never had it, but seen Blaze and WOW.

It's like your shoving a fireball directly in their face.

What is the most annoying in this story is the vision of a dev reading your post and seeing that as a feedback, very disturbing really.All this reminds me of rogues in WOW when the game came out, people kept saying it was unfair fighting a rogue etc etc, but they never thought they might have do something wrong with their template.

[/ QUOTE ]

That reminds me, we need a "Stalkers do it from behind" shirt! I think it was penny-arcade that made the "Rogues do it from behind" one.

[ QUOTE ]
Damage.

[/ QUOTE ]

Lots of it.

Yes.

BLAZE!

All of them, although I tend to target dominators and corruptors first because they have no mez protection.

TGs advice is actually very good and you'd do well to listen to him (I hadn't thought of putting brawl on auto, but you can see the stalker just before they AS you, can't you?).

Running around doesn't make you immune to ASes, but it definitely makes it harder to line one up. A melee toon will ALWAYS have problems with a toon running about (or doing the "stalker dance" as my SG likes to call it).

Also, shimmer, choking cloud WILL interrupt AS if you have it running all the time. Even if you don't, as somebody already said, you'll see the "miss" icon which'll tell you that an invisible person is nearby. When you see that, it's time to pop some irradiate action to drop them out of hide. Once a stalker is out of hide, he's pretty much screwed.

The people I usually PvP with don't have any trouble with stalkers, but thats because we go in there as a team and we all know each others roles. As Nightbringer said, when we're on the hero side the villains lose. We've come in with 6 people and been outnumbered 15-6 and STILL pushed them back into their base.

Are you sure your pet wasnt confused?, I normally just use PA and they have never turned on me. Even when I fought a mind troller in the arena and he confused me all the time. It was in I5 though so I dont know if it has changed.

[/ QUOTE ]

Positive. As I said, PA are immune to confuse so they won't have turned on you but if you had a phantasm or a spectral terror down then they would've.

Yeah, patrolling on the Hero side is sorted and we don't need any more heroes. We do, however, need people on the villains side to patrol as most of the Paragon Defenders don't actually play CoV :P

3. No, PA are immune to confuse. However, phantasms and spectral terrors aren't.

[/ QUOTE ]

Thats an anwser to a question that wasnt asked

The anwser is, Yes, if you get confused your decoys will turn and attack you

[/ QUOTE ]
Thats a NO. Unless its something really new. Pets dont turn on you when you are confused. They only turn on you when they are confused. Since you cant confuse PA....
And Im pretty sure you cant target spectral terror. Since you cant target it, you cant confuse it.

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually, NB, she's right. Laustin confused me in Warburg the other night and my pet was attacking me. Confusing the owner confuses all the pets as well.

I'm sure that PA are immune to confuse no matter what, though.

[ QUOTE ]
I dont think flying around is gonna help u much any more Xanthus with everyone having their nice new shiny jet packs

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't have to fly. Beating stalkers is easy, once we get organized.

[ QUOTE ]
I play my ill/kin a bit in PvP but was wondering about how PAs affect certain alts like,

Stalkers, do PAs see throw their hide and does placate affect PAs?

Brutes, do PAs add to a Brutes fury every time they hit the target?

Once u as a controller have been confused can u be attacked by ur own PAs?

Hope someone is able to answer as im trying to build a strategy when confonted with these alts and the use of PAs. Thxs

[/ QUOTE ]

1. No and no
2. Yes, every attack directed at a brute increases fury no matter where it comes from
3. No, PA are immune to confuse. However, phantasms and spectral terrors aren't.

LOL i took my invun scapper into bloody bay last week and had 3 stalkers try to A/S me, well all i can say is that it felt like a bit of gnats [censored] to her. Although I think the stalkers where as shocked as i was that she just stood there and took it.

[/ QUOTE ]

I think you may find things a little different in Sirens Call

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, the stalkers there can't even get an AS in

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
Yeah Join the Global PvP channel for all the pvp zones

[/ QUOTE ]
Is the PvP channel for all servers or just for Defiant?

[/ QUOTE ]

All servers. I kinda intended it to be more of a discussion channel rather than one for calling for PvP teams.

[ QUOTE ]
i have something to say about the channel....making it so limited to sirens restricts the channel..how about we create a pvp dedicated channel?

[/ QUOTE ]

There already is one, TG. It's called "PvP". I spoke with botty last night about it, and me and him are running the channel now.

[ QUOTE ]

- I am calling out all heros... Stop hiding or running to missions when you see us coming... come bring out your friends and we will see whos the stronger faction!

[/ QUOTE ]

Ok, but you aren't allowed to complain that PvP is rubbish after we repeatedly kill you.

If you're moving, AS gets interrupted.

I don't know why people are so worried about stalkers. As long as you don't stay still, they can't do anything.

[ QUOTE ]
No-one ever needed Stamina either. By taking Haste you make your build infinitely better.

[/ QUOTE ]

Exactly my point. Nobody needs to take any powers. Some, however, can enhance a build and make it better.

[ QUOTE ]

And I was pointing out that Hasten isn't needed on all builds really. That said I can't think of a Controller build that doesn't need Hasten, especially after the I5 changes to AOE holds.

[/ QUOTE ]

Nobody needs hasten. I played my controller up to level 43 without it, and I only got it in for PvP because I can stack holds on tanks and scrappers faster that way.

^ What he said.

The defence buff from hover is about 5%, which is not really worth bothering with.

When I said about other controllers, I meant that most of them have a single-target damaging attack (mind has levitate, illusion has spectral wounds etc) with the exception of gravity, which has two (propel and lift).

Punch is useless for a controller because its taking up one of your power pool slots, and you can only have four. It IS a low damage attack, even with containment, and the other powers in the set are just as useless for a controller.

[ QUOTE ]
aoe holds.. just a minor note illusion controllers only got 1 aoe hold (not counting spec terror)

[/ QUOTE ]

Spectral Terror is a fear, not a hold. All controller types only have ONE AoE hold.

Ahahahaha, you guys tell good jokes. Beating us! Aahahahahahahaha!

Oh wait, you're actually serious.....
