we really should have considered a category solely on production/presentation values as the presentations alone have been worth the contest .

Once again , good luck to everyone and im really jazzed to get a chance to butt heads with Bay and Fury over who we think are the cream of the crop (which we be insanely hard because there is lots of cream here )

I am not trolling you, or your friend. I don't know either of you or have anything against you. What I do have a problem with is wrong information. Wrong is wrong. I am not a know-it-all pvp'r. I am still learning myself. However before I type opinions or advice I research it and/or test it out myself. I have pvp'd long enough to know all sets are not created equal in pvp. The ones that are really good get the title "FOTM" for a reason. Its because those particular sets have powers that make them OP. If all sets were created equal then the whole "FOTM" wouldn't exist. Doesn't take a genious to figure that one out.

On another note I am very calm. I am also not young. Everyone who plays video games or pvp's is not a teen. I am old enough to have teen children myself FYI. I am sure my whole ****** breath comment helped you conclude otherwise so I guess I can't exactly blame you. BTW I appologize for that comment, but meant everything else I have said. Facts are facts.

BTW one last point. You might want to rethink the whole "telling the truth and sharing your opinon" as being ok and me doing the same thing is me being a troll. Just because someones opinion differs from yours doesn't mean its any less valid.

Let's examine where you say that every blaster is equal. In a sense you are right. The dev's crazy scheme of things was to make each set in each AT equal. For pve they achieved that "somewhat". We are talking about pvp here though. There are a gazillion examples of how each set is not equal but lets just examine a few. Lets compare an energy boom against an ice boom. Nova vs. Blizzard. Both have almost the exact same numbers. One is instant death, the other is DOT. In pve they both work pretty much the same because npc's don't pop greens or have healers healing them as quickly as a player does. That is just one example.

Now lets move on to the devices set. While I personally have never made one I have seen them played. Not for me. That doesn't mean they are not fun nor does it mean they do not have their uses. Sadly though while the devices blaster is stuck in animation while trying to set up their targeting drone the energy blaster just bone smashed them. 4th power on each set, should be equal ehh? Not even close.

How about Gun drone. Interesting little power there. Tier 9, does gud damage, yes? Ok while its being set up to even start doing that gud damage the psychic shockwave from the mental set has you half dead. Ok lets talk about trip mine. (omg I can't tell you how annoying people that want you to wait for them to set up a gazillion trip mines are in pve). Anyways trip mines are interesting. How many do you have to set up to kill a player? Takes 5 seconds to cast one and 20 seconds (base) for it to recharge. Lets just take a long shot and say 5 of them will kill a player. So that is a 100 seconds (base) that it took for that to be set up. I am sure the device blaster can safely do that being other pvpr's are always polite enough to wait. Perhaps in zone when "BASE" sitting this might work. However if not hiding out at the base or in the arena the electric manipulations blaster has already Thunder striked your *** so hard your neck has popped. Or in the time it takes to set up those tripmines the ngy manipulation blaster has hit power boost, boost range and build up and one shotted your *** with a snipe from across the room.

Sooo yeah sorry to burst your bubble but what is close to equal in pve isn't remotely equal in pvp. That is of course , again, unless you are base sitting. Sorry using a building surrounded by drones to pvp is not competitive.

BTW the whole all sets are not created equal is not just with blasters, its with every AT. PVP is simply a different enviroment. Players are not computer ran and do not have a "dumb" mode. Not sure how much you know about how computer games are programmed but its in a cycle. The npc is programmed to do a certain attack chain. That attack chain doesn't change based on the situation. It also doesn't hit inspirations. NpC's also are not programmed to evade effectively. The sets are designed to be balanced in an enviroment that doesn't think, and doesn't adapt. PVP is all about thinking and adapting. So your whole theory doesn't apply here.
