    Toggle dropping can sometimes be achived using brawl, but it's unlikely to be very useful in any PvP match. With regards to other toggle dropping powers, the general rule is anything nthat can stun, disorientate or hold will drop your powers. So things like bone smasher or total focus or /eng builds will stun, fire controllers have moves like flashfire that can disorientate and any hold will drop toggles too.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Yes and no. If the person you're trying to toggle drop has mez protection (protection from sleeps/holds/stuns/immobs) then you won't drop their toggle by dropping ONE hold on them. You'll need to stack between 3 and 5 holds on them, and THEN they'll be held.

    On melee attacks, only a few blaster secondaries have toggle drops in them. Generally it's 100% to drop one toggle, and then the chance goes down the more toggles they have. Brawl also has a 30% chance to drop one toggle.

    There are other powers that'll drop toggles too, but I can't remember what they are at the moment.

    Definatly go for Superjump, no doubt about it.. Acrobatics is essential for the unshielded AT

    [/ QUOTE ]

    What, for the crappy hold resistance? Hold resistance I can drop in one hold?

    If you're going PvP, hover/fly is your best choice. Stay in the air and you'll make mincemeat out of anyone without range. It also means you can get up high and drop your pets onto the heads of unsuspecting mobs.

    Superjump is nice, but don't take it to get acrobatics. You don't need the resistance and you never will.

    I'm going for Psy, I want status protection.(and fits character concept)

    [/ QUOTE ]

    The psy status protection sucks for PvP. I can quite happily stack enough holds to break it, and then you don't have any protection for about 2 minutes.
  4. I can think of one other power my SG has used to negate knock/pushback powers like hurricaine before. It's staying a well-kept secret, though.

    Good Build

    Grav/Storm.

    If you need gravity advice, I can help you out a bit. The only power I've never actually tested is Crush.
  6. Are we allowed honourary members? Failing that, we'll take about 16 of you.
  7. You're wrong.

    I wouldn't take the single target immob that gravity gets, because at about level 6 you get an AoE immob anyway. Once the mob is locked down, you can go around spamming lift and killing enemies.

    The best kind of control is one an enemy can't recover from. In other words, a kill.

    the thing is if you were given the opputinity and powers sets you would do exactly what TG does.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    No, actually, I wouldn't. I'd use TP-foe, but in a completely different way to the way TG does. I believe TP-foe should be used to open a fight between a LARGE group of people, not to start AND end a fight between 8 heroes and 1 villain.

    Time for some revenge for my door...
  10. Teams of 8? We can probably get a few more, but it'll require a lot more organizing :P

    I'm assuming that the temp powers are available when the bar on the Nav goes in the villains favour? I ask because as far as i've seen temp powers have never been available to buy in Sirens no matter how much bounty or prestige i have, the bar is always in heros favour when i'm there though.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Yeah, you have to go and win some of the neighbourhood fights in the hotspots to push the bar over to the villains side. I've been in there as my hero a few times and have been unable to buy temp powers, so it's not always over to the hero side.
  12. Actually, why does everyone seem to have an obsession with killing Plight? During the last BB raid, everyone on my teamspeak was shouting "It's Plight Trawler! Kill him! Kill plight trawler!" every time he appeared :P

    i would say corrupters are the least PvP friendly AT out there

    Fire is not a particularly PvP friendly build - Fire damage is generally resisted by melee types and AoEs tend to be innefficient apart from the odd end of beta event.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Actually, fire is VERY good in PvP. It has by far the highest DPS out of all of the corruptor primaries because that's all it has. The onther sets have defence debuffs, holds, etc but all fire has is damage, and lots of it. What use is being able to debuff someone with your attacks if I've already killed them with blaze?

    how many hours you can put into ph4rming noobs in Bloody Bay.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    FYI most of my time spent is actually in Warburg with level 50's as for the farming issue....i not think Gimpman or most of the CoH players that are on the other side are any kind of "noobs" as u like to call em.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    You can't deny that you do spend a lot of time TPing one person out of the base for your team of 8 people to annihilate, even if you do spend more time in Warburg.

    i would say corrupters are the least PvP friendly AT out there (next to empathy defenders obviously) you have powerful attacks but cant lock anyone down longenough to do damage and your buff secondary are just that buffs wont be particually effective in PvP gen bot is your only friend (if it can keep up with you)

    [/ QUOTE ]

    You're wrong. Come to bloody bay tomorrow night on Defiant to see why.

    After the kicking I just had in BB I'll be there

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Yeah, sorry about that :P Tomorrow night you can get your revenge with me (but not on me).
  17. Hover is awesome. It's the single reason I beat Plight Trawler in the arena, and also why I do much better than I should really in PvP (I'm gravity/empathy ffs!).

    I will be up for that shame I cant use Rock Eagle and his over powerd taunt.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    We'll fight the armoured core too. Just give us a date!
  19. I challenged you guys to a PvP fight on the test server on behalf of my SG so lets get it set up! What nights are good for you guys? How many people can you bring?
  20. What about end drain? Stormies can't run hurricaine if they don't have end.

    Guess its time for Major Chill to come out of hiding and kick some hero butt.

    I have just made a Grav/Storm combo, was that a poor setup?

    Aiming to make him a holder so the team i'm with can do there stuff.

    No. Grav/Storm is awesome, and don't let anyone tell you different.

    Stamina is essential in PvP. If u dont have it you will be demoted to a rather passive player.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Not true. Stamina is not an essential PvP power ot tree for PvP...it is for PvE but not PvP wise. I still havent found my self in a situation where i wait my stamina bar to go up,i got no end boosting power and yet i have no issue.
