Soooo, when is an ideal time to do the IoP trial when it goes live (there is no 'i dont want to' for this one )

and when would be 2 times most ppl can make on, we set a raid window and we HAVE to be on, if not we lose the IoPs and have to steal them , obviously as per rule #3, if u cant make it its ok, but we should make a real effort.

i cant do friday nights until 11:20 or sundays from 4-8:20 pm plus i may be starting teaching again on saturday days but we'll see. oh yeah i work 9-1 in the mornings too

tch n00b

was a pleasure, the ups were good, and the downs forgotten

u know where my msn is (it isnt hard really)

Plight

P.S. speak in about a week yeah

running on melees and power sink alone i felt the hit of ED/stamina quite hard, but in a blaster blaster build then its not too important. however i genuinely feel it did make my blaster more fun as it allowed him to kill thngs faster and keep up with the ppl with stamina far easier.

on a similar note, my double acc i5 build solos better than an ED build without hasten. so for me ED rather killed a character who was nowhere near cookie cutter imo anyways :/

fun fun GL

Plight

i know i said id help with this but havent bee nat home much for a few weeks

hmmm, mostly valid comments here.

the patch notes said that /some/ elec powers now have a chance to return end, not all, i havent seen a list of does and donts.

in a pvp setting with the 50% base acc, i would say the following.
tesla cage only really needs 2 accs, i would add to this 3 holddur and 1 recred
short circuit has a +30% (iirc) base acc, so 1 acc SO is all u should need to hit 100% in pvp, in pve this is more than enough, the 3 enddrn and 2 recred i would put in here are important if u are to use drain viably (-rec and drain in this build wont touch anything with heavily slotted stamina, especially not regen scraps/stalkers (but they are 2 shotters))
what the PD said about WW
zapp has +30% acc or so too, 1 acc 1 interrupt (at +3) and 3 dmg is optimal imo
ball lightning is less effective 1 on 1 in pvp than charged bolts, even though CB is a bit pooey, keep the AoE only if u want it for PvE missions imo
shocking bolt i would slot the same as tesla cage
EMP isnt really a killer pvp power, slow recharge, gimped drain and it stuns, u have enough stun already.

stamina: either take CP or stamina imo, as u said u hope to kill in 1 bar of end, theres no reason u cant do this with either stamina or CP, both is overkill and we all know long clicks are not ideal in PvP as u can lose them, autos and fast powers are what most ppl are after.

have fun, speak soon n all that DelBoy

Plight

*cough* no one has mentioned about secondaries yet.

ur 1st 2 melee attacks are well worth taking, power sink at 35 can get u out of neding stamina totally, so be prepared to respec it out and dont underestimate heavy slotting of sirens' song, solo u can sleep a group and pick them of 1 by 1.

if ur on defiant ask for me somewhere n we can talk rubbash

Plight

thanks for the update G, i have rehearsal til 10 so may not be on, prolly going to my mates after too, but if its a late night one i may be pn, hope ur well, and see u soon.

thigns are looking up a little IRL so i should be back a little more now.

Not a creative post as such, but if you wondered what the warburg Nuke Blast temp power does..

BANG. (clicky)

Pretty. However, blowing it on a +6 Malta Titan will knock a whole 10% off its hit points. And make it really, really mad.

Remember, kids, we do these experiments so you don't have to.

hungry and going crazy

Plight

we should endeavour now to get a secure plot, large enough to accomodate more teleporters and possibly IoPs, larger is better, but secure is even better for raids, ask me in game if u dont know why

dont go caning the prestige just yet folks.

also, RL is pretty hairy for me atm, i may be on a bit, i may be on a lot, but I just generally need to be away. dreamer wack me on the emails or something. also when is good time for a TF, hero or villain, up to lvl 50/26, post here and give me a few days notive and I'll get on, not friday nights tho cos of rehearsals.

Plight

Axe' indeed u nut, not like we teamed but i see u chattering

Plight

w00t indeed mate! MM is a top guy and the SG seems strong, all the best with ur alts mate

Stop picking on fire blasters, I know you're only jealous of our greatness

mid you ked HF says he can solo invince, i was well impressed by this

this thread died weeks ago really as the OP is pretty uninformed. blasters dont do as much dmg but are as effective as ever really, just kill slightly slower, tbh things like empaths and tanks have been hit harder than blasters by ED (oh and the def sets/powers). and to the pst about wanting to be dmg kings again, we quite blatantly are sitll, no other hero AT can hit 267% dmg and tohit without a sngle enhancement, bear in mind blasters can do this in the teens easily

hello damage king

Plight

aim with 3 tohits in it with SOs and TD and tactics running should cut through anything, afaik dark achieves the highest acc debuff somewhere around -240% tohit, aim alone is 100% and with 3 SOs tohit in it i think its something like 160% (assuming its schedule B, i think, that gives 20% extra per SO, if its the 33% schedule add 3 lots of 33% -ED, i.e. 94% ish), add tactics and u should be able to hit most things. im not100% clear on this but this is how i understand it

afaik invis and superior invis and grant invis will all drop rad debuff toggles, if u are running +perception powers they may not, not sure but with a debuff on them and u with +preception u shouldnt lose sight of them. a stalkers hide will not work here however as the debuff should interrupt the hide process.

Plight

last time i checked brawl was 25% to drop one.

villain versions of things like fire sword and bone smasher etc dont drop toggles afaik, cos its a blaster thing.

Plight

thanks Sin, sorry i had to go afk for this, but RL n that actually had a good night with it too

this pic is about the best i think, left to right you can see a zimbie dude, a lich, another zombie dude, Meddler, Agent Flux (DreamWeaver x), Plight's Bane (moi), Marvo, Sinester X, Troubler, Iliya, Communist Cat, a commando (i think) and Meat Shield.

was a good night teaming, hope your still on when i get back on now

To Plight,
Aww, they're a menace to conts and blasters. Some without the magic formula can be spotted you know. But yeah w8 till we get lvl 40's around then we'll see a fairer fight, well maybe.... well prolly not actually. And I think a toe to toe with a top lvl one could go either way but tbh in an open zone the result willbe pretty much as it is sorry to say. The key for you i'd rekkon would be getting one to to toe not open???

[/ QUOTE ]

yeah i do rely very heavily on melee in my current build, which is basically a scrapper/tank killer for those that dont run. its really a semi original pve build that i like to pvp with, i am going to switch things about so that i can have lightning field a lot earlier (even if u dont uncover the stalker, u get a miss notice and aim will let u see them), and i'm adding another PBAoE stun as my PBAoE control is poorer since ED (SC+PS is still total drain tho in pve). im also thinking of adding flight(removing hasten) and dropping intimidate (its only use is locking down scrappers and tankers and its not in my build until very late on). if i drop presence this allows me to pick up two powers, so say i swap hasten/flight, i could go for lightning clap and another, this should let me keep a blast and an AoE AND my snipe.

mentioning snipe, all too many times i get hit by AS and the simple melee i respond with doees over 50% dmg to the stalker, snipe as they run drops them, this is pretty much my reasoning for not droping snip in my melee heavy build.

if i do the things im thinking of, i will resemble the damage output of an nrg/nrg blaster/blapper more as atm i have far too many slots committed to control and such lose a lot of ranged dmg (only snipe is slotted)

i need to write a build really.

i find it hard to read ur posts without hearing ur voice narrating in my head now disco, well funny

Plight

ok u can STOP posting now, jeeez, i read the firt half of 1 post :s

i liked the idea a few posts in about the missions where an NPC comes out of abuilding to ask for help, this sort of thing would be great and really make u feel heroic, they could sale to ur lvl like a trial

Plight

and and tp to map ftw

damn stalker i w1ll wpnj00 y3t!1 etc

seriously annoying when u are having a fight with a brute slugging it out as a blapper then some stalker just comes along and bam ur dead! if the stalker is on the brutes team then fair enough, but i think a lot of the time solo stalkers just hammer u down. i understand that all is fair in pvp, and i will happily nail heroes in WB to steal codes, i just dont like the whole AS=dead thing when im below 75% hps, this is compounded in pvp zones by the loss of my accolades (which i think sucks tbh, we should keep those regardless of lvl imo). so pls dont think im whining, i freely admit i hate being owned in such a one side fight. guess i can rest easy knowing that in a duel most stalkers wouldnt kill me if we could fight at 50 (teeeerrrrash!!!1)

Plight

hehe momma

and @ botty, the 50s are a tad gimped in BB, and nova is 'only' a kin/nrg def at that lvl, nothing to shout about really there.

Plight will still pwn jo0r brv73

Plight

it works well for picking invis ppl and stalkers out, but so does hotfeet if they are near the ground.

many powers are deemed pointless but its always circumstantial really, there is a use for almost every power out there.

personally i just find most of the fire set poor, but as avernal would say, if someone wants to be fire fire, they should be that

I'm an energy/energy blaster and if i click a melee power with no target selected my hands will glow red for quite some time after.So i suppose if he was an /elec blaster and he did the same then his hands would go all electric like.

Thats what I reckon your on about and if it is then all you need to do is choose a melee power for your character

[/ QUOTE ]

Somewhat dissapointingly, the electricity manipulation powers don't do that.

well worth reading this post

Plight

erm, hate to say it but i spoke to the staff and apparently the cap is still 50, theres just no content yet, so i guess u can do missions in warburg forever and a day : /

Plight

all ur warburg are belong to me.

seeing as the villains are so weak i tend to fight the heroes

can we have another argument now, i heard someone said that empath was a ****** and thats why he steals purple panties

Plight

not anyp ools u can justick up withur current set to make it useless, as u said, u know the ATs to take it down. personally i think 2 blaster are the best thing to take it down, (aim+BU+snipe)*2 = dead troller

end drain is only viable in teams if you can keep ur spaper alive and they dont have an end buffer, but solo itll just about work. seems the best plyare sapper is a kin/elec/elec def or rad/kin corr.

storm ftw of course.
