Disappointed!

A few new costumes, a little bit of low level content, and a few new powers......

I've figured out what toons I like to play by now and the rest just sit collecting vet badges, this new post 50 content is what had me ready to buy, thank goodness I waited.

Yeah they better roll incarnates out before November because DCUO is where my money will be going since they will have TONS more costumes, powers, and content to play with. How do you create a system that is something that you can't even use outside of incarnate leveling content?! "Gee maybe these guys will want to use these new atttributes during some of the other already established gameplay...."

Maybe they should have put that great "walk" feature on the back burner and used that time to really think of what people would like out of the new abilities. Here's to incarnates, hopefully it's not the "work in progress" that the new pvp has been for some time now.

The blind line-up submission is a better idea than picking and counter picking for days.

A way to go with the blind line-up submissions too could be each team submits 6 blindly and then get to see what the other team is mainly bringing and then submit another 2 blindly so as to offer a counter but also speed up any counter strategies. This may be moot as it will mostly be psi and emp lineups but its another thought.

I like this team, if you had put this up a few days ago I would have asked to join. But I will very much enjoy helping toady's team. GL guys <3 Hot

I'm glad you can show up and do your pvping on the forums, you sure can't in game.

Ok for starters yes I would only slot 4 kin crashes and 2 accuracy or kb IOs, this power will be for pushing only. My global accuracy is quite nice anyways so it doesn't matter to me anywho but yeah the 2 Acc or kb IOs would be better since you want to pump as much kb out as you possibly can, the dmg is meaningless on this power because you will have other faster or more devastating attacks you will want to use and i dont depend on this power too much anyways, I used it once in our match to test ur kb. SO i kinda agree acc/dmg or more kb. I would love to elaborate more on my power slotting choices but some things are unique to me so I will offer suggestions of what way to go but keep some things for myself.

Secondly about the badges. Lots of the new PLd doms are easy to sniff out, no anniversary badge whatsoever means new dom, show me a dom with at least one anniversary badge but what doms you have rolled I have failed to see one, you get those by accident by just logging in for a whole month. Poned comes to mind on this subject. I asked shim if he/she was the best dom why haven't I seen them before the dom buff playing the most beastly set, "I saw a video of a mind/fire on youtube" and knew nothing of how they used to perform or why to play it other than it was the most beastly of all dom sets so they made one. Someone that had been playing doms before the dom buff would have an anniversary badge of last years or earlier at least. Or have you just kept all your toons in a dank basement?

Lastly I have never called someone stupid or dumb or any absurd thing when someone offers their opinion on a subject, if that's how they want to roll then that's how they want to roll, but on the other hand some of the awesomesauce players tend to think they're king **** and attack any statements made for being different and this is how you ended up on ignore. I listen and I will share when asked and I am stubborn on certain things like anyone that likes to play their style. I NEVER put someone down for how they want to play. No e-hugs just change your thinking.

You hit the nail on the head Xanatos, will you be my psychiatrist?

Nah the good players half listen and spout out advice. I know when to listen, Snax totally convinced me to revamp my TF. And if he HAD been listening/reading then he would have seen that the only reason I love/hate TF is because of the animation that is equal to fires 3 ranged attacks for much more dmg instead of picking a fight about TF that I never said get rid of but to use more wisely in the first place (sorry I'm not familiar with quoting system or I'd list it but I'd rather not do that instead of half quoting a statement). Knowing when to listen and when to shut up is the mark of a good player and I will do that now.

If I ever need psychiatric help I know who to come to.

How have I half listened to him? One day someone was asking how they should slot Power Push in RV so I replied that most of the good people know how to build to avoid it so it would just be better to slot it with kin crashes as to get some kind of bonuses out of it. KB resistance is much more prevelant than it was back in the day, yes you still wanted push slotted good but getting bonuses would be helpfull for when you CAN'T kb someone was my rationale. But I guess Con didn't see it that way and decided to pick a fight. He has had nothing to say but detracting statements and no argument for why such and such should be slotted differently. Seems my argument for getting as many bonuses that you can without harming your build was more thought out as I NEVER missed a TF in our lil match. He's not the only vet dom player, just because he's got 3000 posts I guess that makes him a vet but most of his doms I don't even see the correct badges to BE a vet with. Pumkin got outfoxed and outplayed.

Are you willing to respec into a PvP build?
Sure, most are

Are you willing to roll a new character if needed?
If need be sure

Briefly describe your PvP experience?
Casual arena and heavy zone activity, not much time for test back in the day but if I had it woulda been with Goraths, had a few friends there.

Well, I will say that I was expecting more out of a "seasoned" Nrg dom. Hopefully we can all stop with the half reading and quoting and also the trolling when someone asks for legitimate advice. 3000 posts does not automatically make someone knowledgeable, it just takes away from what time you could be spending building a toon correctly. I will leave you on un-ignore if you ever would like to pvp again but once we start with this half listening stuff I'm gonna be turning you off. And please don't blame mind/ because this thread was about mind/nrg and you even could have brought your mind/. Sorry to the OP that this thread turned into this and good luck with your mind/nrg, it's very fun!

Man now I know why I never came to the forums, too many of you live on here like it's your job. Do you get paid to troll other peoples advice? Never once did I say TF is skippable. And yes do take levitate, I had to decide between a range nrgy attack or psi attack that goes through peoples defenses AND brings flyers down unless they have hover so I chose the latter and slotted it with javelins. But do let the king ea player himself tell you how to do since he's been playing doms since all but what? the dom buff? GL with your selection hope some of these trolls don't sway you wrong.

Someone asked how to slot their push so I replied, sorry you're so butthurt about my comments, you saying I have been kb'd by you with blaster melee push is false when i havent been kb'd by anything other than gale since i13, so please keep your thoughts to yourself. Tell you what, you make a mind/nrg or any /nrg dom for that matter and beat my mind/nrg and you can spout whatever advice you want about it. As far as kb goes most "good" players will have high enough kb resist anyways. Did you even read my post? I know some of them are big words. If you can make your TF into a wicked stunner and can actually land it before mezzing that would be the best you can hope for but they will be chucking rocks at your face as you're rushing in if you can't kb them.

I would like to join up in this too, I have a few doms and working on my Pain's kb resist. I know what teams should consist of depending on what you have to work with but I'm not up for captaining.

I have been PVPing my Mind/Nrg for years now and the playstyle has much changed due to the mez system change but my love/hate relationship has not allowed me to drop TF. It's crazy that /fire's 3 ranged attacks take the same time to animate and do much more dmg combined but TF can be devastating if used right. TF should always be second in your attack chain *unless you have the mace* so as to not get caught animating.

On Mezmera I power push them to test their kb resistance. If they can be then it's easy times. Most times you will have to deal with blasters and the only real way to mez them is to kb and confuse them if they cant be kb'd you're in for a long day. Either switch targets or go after them harder OR just make a /fire dom. I start it off push/tk depending on their kb resist, TF for the hax stun if you can kb them, dig in with your best attacks, dont forget a confuse, and lastly push them again if they can be to get more attacks in.
