This is far from the truth. If someone comes looking for the best blaster build the answer is psi em. Even if the player in question may be the best son/mm ever he would still be better on a psi em. The best is the best for a reason. To think otherwise is absurd. Now mind you we do get a ton of really bad people on psi ems and other fotms but that is user error. And there is no advice we can here to fix bad. And no telling them to be a flying tp foeing grav psi dom or a cage the spike sonic defender is NOT an option.



Literally the only thing that stop a good clean spike is a lightning fast heal + hiber or phase. There is nothing you can do or teach to stop a spike in this version of pvp in zone. In arena evasion still has a place but in zones its no go. To think otherwise is also absurd.




-Damage powers are great and I have never heard mac down play them. The truth is though they are usually great for aspects other than the -damage. benumb and he come to mind instantly and there are others. The only decent aoes in the game are mezzes and ball lightning. And a team spamming aoes could more than likely have dropped a single target or two in the time they managed to mildly antogonize 3 or 4 targets with aoe spam.




Without phase and hiber in zone you will die a lot more than with it. And until pvp becomes about something more than k and d they will be pretty much mandatory. And trust me this is completely on the devs changes on this one. Pre i13 I had a total of 2 toons with phase(both stalkers) and 2 with hiber(one was an ice tank). Post change I have a total of 2 pvp toons without either. And I hate it. I used to play with no 'escape' power and no heals on almost every toon I played regualarly and I would prefer to still play that way. Sadly that is no longer an option and not of my choosing. Unless I want to choose to be grossly more ineffective.





Show me a brute with no taunt that stands in npcs and I will show you the kick button pretty damn fast. Its not hard to take taunt and learn your role. Kinda funny seeing you are the dude preaching role based pvp that you don't even do it right when you get the chance.



Please keep in mind that pvp has absolutley no correlation with pve. And even if it did by that theory super teams that trivalize the game should work in pvp.


The fact you think those roles described there even have to do with pve is very telling, the fact you think it should carry over to pvp is even moreso. Just so you know there are people like Steatoda who are really out there that reinvent the wheel. You could take a cue from such players and look to viable alternatives to the 'in the box' pvp you despise. Just don't think you will shake the whole system at its roots. Its the foundation for a reaon, its tried and tested and proven to be effective.




you are aware that all those things don't all necessarily go hand in hand right? There are plenty of skilled pvpers who couldn't make a build to save their souls. There are plenty of teams with great teamwork who don't always win. You seem like you have pugged on slow servers or so infrequently that you don't really understand any more what good pvp and good pvpers are. Maybe you should take a step back and reassess what the real goals of pvp are and what the being successful and good really mean.


All stalker teams would pretty much be a joke and ran as a tie team not as a get a kill and hide team. Once a team for it was made known the other teams would bring forts and the farm would be on.





Then why offer up the suggestion they switch to sub optimal teams in the first place? You gave the impression that if talked into it it would alter the very state of arena pvp. In truth we would get what merc said, lots of ties and super low scores.


Ironically you found one of mine and I am pretty sure a few others peeve with arena. I hate rules that are forced. I think needing to check a box for good pvp is just as retarded someone wanting me to not use inspires. What the high end pvpers use for arena SHOULD be the stock rules for zone pvp. Pure and simple. If I had a vote that is what I would pick. I just kind of boycott the arena for the most part as my own protest against it all.



Now define how someone has fun. Do they ahve fun losing? Probably not. Just because you think its cool to fly around and maybe sorta occassionly disrupt something don't think its what the average pvper is going to find fun. I am something of a disrution specialist and I would only encourage someone to play some of the toons I do if they showed express interest in it. Most of the people who came here to look for help are looking for a very small window of help not enlightenment. They are more than likely looking for help with a blaster a dom a scrapper or a stalker. And newsflash its so they can get kills. Its how it works. Sorry this is a letdown to you but it is what it is and no amount of your revalation will every change it. But fight the good fight, I am sure you need to feel like you are helping the cause to care on.






Its called kickball, happens all the time. We can call happy dahjee fun time if it will make you feel special though.




If you think its as simple as loading up a fotm with loot and getting 8 mouth breathers to be good at arena pvp you are again pretty damn clueless. Get off your duff and go level all these things you pretend so much to know about. And come find out how easy it is. There is a reason not everyone does, because not everyone can. You may end up being the best psi em team blaster ever to play the game, but my magic 8 ball told me to not hold my breath.




As usual fun playing with you dodgy, see you next time teddy bear <3

You can email it to my global, thanks in advance.

Git wormhold sun, srlsy.

Ar Dark pro rager with his own myspace. And his new ba wp brute is now lvl 40 and should be in rv soon. He promises when he sinks all his billions of influence into it that it will be unbetable. At last check the build had no travel and all of the leadership pool so be warned he is coming. Its name is 'a Chicken'

Look real man of genius a couple of facts for you. Only a mod can perform the function in question. Second the edited part in merc's post says last edited by mod 08. I know a huge leap of logic has to take place here but I have faith.

true.



wanted to touch on this quote

That someone is forum moderator. It means you probably shouldn't have said what you said. And I am sure they just missed the remains of it in the other post.

So much truth.

Remember how I keep using caging the spike target as an example of how bad the advice you give is? Well I will be adding this gem because its actually worse than that. Wormhole is like the one reason to use grav.


Man I wish you had gotten that toon that one time you were going to teach me how to play grav control.

You have obviously never ran a bar. I have, and believe me you can kick anyone out at any time you want. Do you ever have a clue as to whats going on?

Its pretty much as outside the box as thinking gets.

Actually alot of people understood what the changes were aimed at doing. We also told the devs over and over that the changes would not do what they wanted. And the people who told them that were right on each and every count.


If as many of you pros(see: dodgy and clawlz) actually remembered what you thought you may talk alot less and realize how retarded you seem to those of that actually know what the **** is going on and what went on. Just saying.

Yes I know they listen. I can tell by how the pvp bugs make the known issue list. I can tell by how much they post here. I can tell by how much they pm me back. Even if you don't agree with people its good to recognize them and let them know they were heard. That is clearly not the case here. Nor has it really ever been. Nor will it ever be. Keep lying to yourself and saying if you do it nice they may listen. We tried that. Alot of people even warned us back then to not trust it that they didn't care. It seems even you agree on how that turned out. Fool me once.......

I love how most of your post is wrong and biased.



And BTW I run a multimillion dollar casino and I can tell you point blank once our mind is made up it doesn't mean dick how you come at us. Period. What we want is what matters, whether you like, understand it, or not.
