Howl has a horrible cast time, and your already dealing with that on shout. You have no escape so I would drop that, and the sleep and possibly conserve power to work in stealth, invis and phase. You have almost no kb protection so the addtional def slots will allow you to get more plus an escape power.

Don't slot Heat loss for slows - slows suck in pvp, fully slot for end and acc. Your going to want to slot ss and sj or your going to have end issues (not sure you need the slow resist of winters gift but you can slot it with a micro and the kb res travel proc on ss and sj.

turn off your powers to make it fair.

i know its thw choice of heroes and all..


but after a full night of runing on villians..i cant say you need a better team then a buncha scrappes. cause man they died HARD last night and they knew it.

people were changing toons and all kinds of things

one guy told me to duel him cause im a nub and he'll face plant my face to the ground cause im a 7 year olf kid

i said..uh ok..he popped lucks, eye of magnus and his tier 9 at every turn. nothing more then gimmick tricks.

well good news though..hes now 0-7 against me after last night.

he was the same one telling me to turn of my powers to make it fair for him.

it was quite nice after the night was over..he kept it shut the rest of the night after he died

HE works wonders too since they never take stam, or Heat Loss and the cold debuffs. Dark Miasma too a Fire dark would do well (the dark res is an auto hit that does like -500% regen).

great line from RV -

"look at that all those FOTM DOMS lol...."
"umm you a blaster..."

We are actually jealous he thought of it first.

Okay I will be holding a costume contest on virtue at the same time. First prize is 1 billion inf , entry fee is 1 billion inf.

sorry I should rp talk

((your charging 5 million to pvp??))

[Nope. TA Corrs are gonna be farmed far easier and far faster than most other Corruptor secondaries currently out there. They will be a joke, and only slightly annoying to any hero with half a brain.

[/ QUOTE ]

Don't really agree with this statement, TA corrupters could do wonders all depends on the team make up.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yup, and then you reailze that you're playing "villains" and that they rarely team, and when they "do" team it's rarely well (i.e. you get a team chocked full of purely "solo" oriented toons with zero buffers/debuffers).


Furthermore, for a TA Corruptor to do anything meaningful, he'd have to have a full-time healer/buffer and be damned good at what he does. The last requirement alone removes about 98% of the players out there who might consider TA in pvp, the other two players able to use TA effectively will still need to locate a dedicated healer villainside, so we're back to square one


The reason for TA not doing good Villainside, also has to do with the fact that Blasters have such overpowering face stompnig RANGED damage, that they simply wouldn't survive long enough to lay down any meaningful debuffs. They have to fire off maybe 1 or 2 and then run for their lives. For heroes, since Villains lacked ranged damage, a TA Defender could simply "stay out of melee range" of most attackers and survive just fine. Only to worry about getting pelted "here and there" by random Corruptor attacks or the the random Impale crit (nothing of which was much a threat, they could escape if they really felt in danger). Again, Villains have to worry about the massive ranged damage that Heroes did not.


For example, since the changes to Dominator's, how many "successful" TA's have you seen in zones? Honestly...I haven't seen one. Is it coincidence that when Villains finally recieved REAL ranged damage via Dominators that TA wielders suddenly dissapeared? Or is there a direct connection. A cause and reaction? I for one, don't think it's coincidence. The fact that a Dominator can now ruthelessly attack a TA wielder with good ranged damage, in the same fashion that a Blaster would, their roles and benifits have become ALOT less noticeable. They simply do not survive long enough in your average zone setup (where finding a good healer, or healer at all is hard) to really cause much impact.


So, unless we are talking about 110% organized, true grit, team pvp, then I don't see TA Corruptors being all that potent.

reading comprehension FTW - and when fortunatas were good they beat a few hero sgs.

he doesnt need acro if he puts in some kb resist io's. i have a fire/da myself and right now have 2 kb io's in it. soon as i get more slots i'll ahve 3 which is more then enough.

[/ QUOTE ]

umm no..3 kb proc will get you 12 kb resist before dr. Your going to get knocked back.

Curious on her powers description - it says demon summoning/darkness

not dark miasma - new secondary or dramatic effect?

Renegades is a VG and despite the several attempts VR and PX tried to beat them as VRC and GMW they never had a bad thing to say about you at least from what I hear.

I've known Putz a while too, probably not as well as you but at least well enough to believe she wouldn't im/private post about me being a moron...Ed usually said it to my face>.>...I figured she would ask who it was first then laugh in public for a necro post...

but hey you probably know better.

well i was thinking that

Shiver -81% recharge
Arctic Air -62.5% recharge
(using def #)
infrig -87.5%
snow storm -62.5%
sleet -40 %

Not sure what the dr #'s look like but infrig+shiver looks like floored recharge for 20 seconds.

dark actually gets some of the highest resistence in the game - but your going to need acro and it's end heavy (sure you know that). Not sure of the DR numbers... All depends on the level you get to before you roll into sirens. More slots = better chance :P

yup and there my emps sit - ioed out and no where to play them. Funny part is in RV when I actually do team emp it takes the red side a while to figure out there is an emp..since they are rare.

I went in with three other team mates and they kept calling them poppers lol...till said "get the emp"

[ QUOTE ]
That's categorically false as I've been in the arena consistently since the patch and haven't been farming. I've seen plenty of drops as well. There's a chance for one drop per 10min duel, which is what I've been doing, and it seems that they may have actually done something right for once.

Stop ******** about something you have no clue about.

[/ QUOTE ]

afaik - the drops are based on # of rep kills (some amount) so a rep timer tied to 10 min match would suck. The other poster said it was a 5 min rep timer and I have no idea if it counts down regardless or resets after a kill regardless. (I dunno how zone rep timers work I never paid attention - what is their time between kills for rep?)

either way it sucks for arena unless you do a huge FFA match your bound to be defeating the same targets.

you can set the arean timer to 30 mins - and unless they changed it you can get drops after the match ends..

my bad I thought he meant two drops in match...which used to be possible in a 20 min match

hmm was thinking a ice/cold troller would be wicked - arctic air and + arctic fog. Sweet.

crap ton of -recharge + -def/-dmg/-res/-end...and access to powerboost?

for pve I would say elec. You get a snipe earlier in the set to pull with - some good aoe dmg and hold for handling a boss + mod.

+ the end drain of elec attacks and your debuffs, immobs and slows.

Rad would be good too for eating def.
