    Go with the RP, learn how to use it, it's strengths/weaknesses and you'll be fine. It can be just as nice as others, but a bit more work and has different tactics. Maybe you need to use TP foe to use seismic smash and trap them in mud pots, who knows, i don't have experience with it yet but unless it's as laughable as AR for cors i'm sure anybody could pull it off with enough time and effort.


    Playing a subpar set decent just means if you played a better set with the same practice you would be doing better. You should delete your regin and only play dark armor and rp it. It will make you better, amirite?

    If you are listening at all to the devs and believing it, you glass is indeed half full. Even if you say its not what we want to hear to believe any of it would be completely unwarranted at this point.
  3. Dear Mr. My glass is half full,

    Congratulations on still being the one guy who still has faith in the devs when it comes to pvp. If their track record on this subject isn't enough to tell you were it really stands keep in mind that it barely got any attention before because of its small population. The population for pvp as well as the game has dwindle since pvp 2.0 has come to pass. What of those two things makes you think that pvp will ever draw resources in this game? While I am sure they will do some stuff here and there I wouldn't quote random stuff and try to read between the lines like everything is going to get all better. Every time we have been told something about pvp it has either taken forever to get implemented or just ended up being a flat out lie. I do however wish you the best in your future hopes. Until then though I will be a realist and just enjoy what they let me have.


    Sincerely,

    Mr. the glass may be half full but its full of poison
  4. If its mostly for zones I would take rad son or fire before elec. Elec is better for a dueling build but damage is alot more important in zones.
  5. RI and EF are very nice at raids. I would follow yellow team around and toggle thier targets or green team and do the same. AM is probably the nicest thing rad brings escially with the busted blue mito chains that castle said he is fine with. Alot of -heal gets thrown around at raids but radiat aura is still useful. And if its a raid build take the rez. Blasts sets pretty much all offer the same thing. Just shoot stuff when you are suppsed to.
  6. 1. very good
    2. kin crash or force feedback are nice in it. more kb is always good.
    3. regin is unbetable, unless you are a therm
    4. he in sirens makes fcers sad pandas
    5. power stone or ice are all good depending on playstyle
    6. the placate may be the single most overpowered thing in pvp ever. the fact that it is still broken depresses me as they are fully aware that it is broke and have had lots of data input on it. Even with it fixed though it will still be worth slotting.
  7. I swear I thought galactor was mac's second account.
  8. Roll the therm. You shouldn't have rolled a brute for pvp in the first place unless you were looking to play taunt bot. Be prepared for those scrappers and tanks to be ******** because you didn't fight with honor or some such because they have caught a case of the meleetardedness. They love to chirp about lets go duel or some such til you say you are a therm or something they know that they lose to in rock paper scissors. It was brillant of devs to make melee classes so survivable so those rp dudes actually think they are good. Its highly amusing.

    Earth Assault

    I was in sirens the otehr day and almost fell out laughing when the fcers were proclaiming earth assault to be the up and coming fotm dom set. It may be the single worst pvp set in the game, and that is saying something. What few things it has(powerboost and melee) other sets have and do better(nrg and elec). Icy is even better than it and icy is in desperate need of some love since pvp 2.0.

    Not even close. I have 4 toons with that much or more. They are all old i12 builds though.
  14. Make a troller. Probably mind is the best choice followed by fire. Mine is grav just so I can drone more people into nerdrage.
  15. I am 2 for 2 now on having demonic reward after getting hpt.
  16. It may come down to arena vs zone thing. I did 2 builds on my pain. The first had ac and no soothing. the other dropped had sa but no ac. The sa build was much sturdier. In zones though evasion is a lot easier so you aren't suppressed. I could see in a arena environment were the suppression could make it much less useful.



    Interestingly this is excalty why I gave up on arena. I want the same rules all the time so I can optimize my pvp builds. I knew as soon as they put the check boxes in that to really arena I would need to use my second builds for an arena build. I just didn't/don't have it any more to put that much effort into pvp.


    If I get around to it tonight I will play the pain dom some and see if I can get some numbers for you.




    Edit: Numbers from rv on my sonic pain. His base hp is 1311.8(no accos yet, I am a lazy bish). Base regin standing still is 10.72 per sec. With sa up it is 27.66 per sec. When its suppressed it drops to 23.98. I can actually squeeze a smidge more +hp into his build as well. Like I said, an extremely durable set.

    I have no idea if people are using FF or energy blast/assault to set up spikes though, or if levitate is all you ever see, or if once levitate becomes obsolete if people will upgrade to FB or powerpush.

    One thing I'm curious of though is I've seen a few builds with no soothing aura. I would have thought ~45hp/sec regen would be "important" for surivivability. I mean if you are attacked for 2 seconds that is like an extra 90 hp. If you are attacked for 5 seconds like and extra 225 hp. Like I said though I have no idea as I've been out of pvp for so long and that's why I'm now asking.

    I'll ask the same question I posted when /pain was first added to the game. When you are in combat mode does your regen get cut off like happens to a regen scrapper making Soothing aura really only affective if you are out of combat which happens to be when you least need it?

    I ask becaues ~45 hp/sec regen is about the same as nullify spam in terms of health and I figured adding the too together would make you pretty tough.

    Anyway, thanks ahead of time.

    Everything else you said makes a lot of sense.

    It suppresses but not alot, and pain is one of the stoutest builds in the game. Damn near impossible to kill a good one solo.

    Once(if) the placate proc is fixed people will probably start realizing fire is still at the top. Flares is just retardedly good. As for its nerfs are coming, i4 til now they have been at or near the top and only ever received buffs. Never once have they caught a nerf, how scary is that.

    I would start a fresh thread in the pvp section. Try to post at least a bare build(power selections) and what you want to do with said dom(arena, zone, team, solo)
