i heard justice had only FC....too bad i don't have toon there..

so mad rite nao

<qr>

I couldn't imagine skipping the hold res in acro. Yes you can do some slotting stuff and get alot of kb protection, but once you face a toon with pbed holds you realize how nice acro is really fast.



Also on the power boost thing, i post about it in that other thread, I am flat out not a fan of it in this day and age. Very little bang for the buck.

[ QUOTE ]
also highly suggest picking up power boost

[/ QUOTE ]


I am still trying to grasp why anyone would take power boost these days. It has come up in quite a few threads and I have debated it pretty well. Barring you having an aid self build it truly is a waste in the dr world of pvp. And if you have cold mastery nothing in your epic benefits from it. So basically you are adding about 4 percent tohit(assuming you have a kismet slotted) to bu with it and upping your defense in cj and maneuvers if you have it. I just don't see wasting a pick on it.

Heh.

That's all I've got to say to that. Good day.

Please, go on. I would like to hear your opinions on how the blast sets play out in pvp. I am sure it will be a very stimulating conversation.

I was mostly trying to avoid the obvious comparison to the WoW forums regarding the "faceroll" comment. Everyone thinks that anything remotely viable in PvP is a "faceroll" class/spec because these same people feel that their unique flower AT/Spec is just too good (and they often wonder why no one else has noticed -- it must be all the faceroll classes!)

For those who are unaware, the term "faceroll" is used extremely literally to describe the player rolling their face on the keyboard and destroying opponents. It's to represent skill-less and easy-to-use play.

The numbers have already pointed out that Psi Blast is between Ice and Fire for damage numbers, but gives up all the hard/soft control of Ice in order to do so (and it's still below Fire). Sonic only looks good on paper because you're taking into account the resistance debuff which, with how how PvP works, you likely won't have it on them for the entire fight. The two control powers being a single-target Stun and a Cone Sleep aren't enough to put the set beyond mediocre. In short, Psi Blast doesn't have to rely on a debuff to do above-average damage, just like Ice or Fire... yet it still falls short of Fire anyway even ignoring that Fire can pump out far superior AoE numbers in addition to its single-target superiority. So does Ice, for that matter, regarding AoE and as pointed out earlier, it does a far better job of controlling the target than Psi.

I play a flying Energy/Energy Blaster in PvP with a heavy lean on ranged damage, so I'm no stranger to blasting.

Ice blows in pvp now. And faceroll is the proper term for psi's ease of use. It actually even a little easier than i11ish (see:dual phase without no phase) fire em blasters. And as this is a pvp discussion bringing up mezzes is pointless, they are all just as good as the other as far as the hard controls go. Now mixing in kb which psi gets in its primary attack chain plus a mez is where you really pull out in front in pvp.



Like I said before, I am not asking for a nerf. Just pointing out that psi is head and shoulders above the rest atm. And in this day and age of pvp that is probably not the spot you want to be in.

Everyone who actually pvps on a psi blaster posting in this thread please raise your hand.



Exactly.




Edit: I will try to add more detail to what I am trying to say so people will hopefully get a better grasp of what I mean. On paper Sonic should be the top and only set worth taking. In practice though psi really outperforms it by alot. Between having 4 st attacks and the placate proc you an wreck alot of havoc really fast and alot of times the target can't even get a chance in to retailiate. Like I said I am not calling a nerf I am just saying it really is head and shoulders above the other sets in pvp.



And as to comments like

Sounds to me like a good thing. PVP being approachable might mean people do it.

[/ QUOTE ]

Pvp is no more approachable now than it has ever been. If you want to compete and really expect to win now the fotms are much more defined and pronounced. Where what we once had you could pretty much make work in zones you are now really required more than ever to take certain sets and certain powers.

Sonic/Therm >>>> Sonic/Pain, neither of them play like blasters though.

[/ QUOTE ]


All well and good and I agree, but he already said he isn't feeling therm. And pain dom is pretty fricking underrated. I know its debuff is a joke but man are they hard to take down if the person playing them has any clue whatsoever what they are doing. The therm will get more kills, the pain dom will die less.

Blue one aka Con: ooooo, its time to swim.

Red one aka Red: YES! I love to swim in the mud hole!

Yes the plus damage gets dred.

Numbers are cool and all, but it really is pvp easy mode, and this a thread about pvp. I am not saying omg nerf it. I will say you can face roll with one and do pretty decent though. Yes I have one, yes I play it, yes I will continue to play it.

I amend my first answer to you to you are looking for a sonic/pain. Decent burst and can be hard as hell to kill.

You want a son/ /rad /therm or /pain dom.

<qr>

Let me throw out some phrases I have heard.


1. lvl 50 dom trying to find mercy( this was said in cap)
2. I wonder what these powers look like when I use them (said by a lvl 47 dom)
3 How do I train up(said by a lvl 43 tank in pi who was cl 1)
4 Why am I not getting xp anymore (said by a lvl 50 defender on the third respec)


Want to know the fun part about this. Scroll down a little more.

























1. Said during the time of egg babies
2. mole machines on double xp ftw!
3. New player who got on a dreck farm in pi
4. wl newbie



I literally can recall thousands of these if I sat and thought about it. Its not that ma brought or even made this kinda of player, it just made it easier for people to focus on them. There will be pled noobs in this game til the day it dies, there is really nothing to ever be done about it. The best you can do is try to lead them to good info and hope they learn and stay. The more people who play this game the better it is for everyone, to pass judgement or to be mean to them because you don't approve of hiow the play is bad for the game. Which in turn is bad for us all. This game is not as strong as it once was, now is the time to be even nicer to new players more than ever. Without them the future is very bleak.

I don't even know what toon's he plays tbh. Whatever it is..i'm sure i've killed him tons. He's not worth $10.

[/ QUOTE ]


Isn't he bluesting that lulzy hover snipe nrg blaster?

I see what your saying now. Yeah they run in from different spots and can get hung up on npcs and other pillboxes.

If you look in your system message tab it will tell you what pillbox they are headed to.

next issue seems to offer way more for the dom than the corr. why did you say in next issue fire/rad is getting an advantage?.

[/ QUOTE ]




Actually I said the corr is good now and the dom would get better next issue.

[ QUOTE ]
one is solid now(the corr)

[/ QUOTE ]

The stalker will be very nice. Do an earth ea dom and the fire rad both, one is solid now(the corr) and the other will be nice after the next issue goes live.

Plus if you are an annoyance toon you will be target one. Be prepared for lots of kb+as spikes.

[ QUOTE ]
whats the most influence you have spent in a short time

[/ QUOTE ]

I spent over a billion in a few hours , twice. Once when purpling my veat and the other when purpling my mind fire dom. I dropped about 800 mil yesterday pvpoing and purpling my psi/em blaster.

Sell it all and wire me the inf, both of you.


on a serious note, sure is a quiet place without all the fun people around.

Didn't know you were still around Troken. Remember that fight club thing you were running in Warburg years ago?

Troken: Haha yeah, Don't tell anyone but I think I'm the original creator of the "Fight Club"

I'm tempted to start listing all the players that participated in that who now spend time making fun of fite clubbers.

who are you?

[/ QUOTE ]


For what this thread is aiming for Troken should be mentioned. As well as his running buddies Corbin Gliss and Rakin. Not sure if anyone has thrown them up yes but should probably mention Anichi, Sorrows and Jake as well. There are more names that should be mentioned to from back when pvp was booming.


A special shout to probably the biggest zone [censored] Justice has ever had Gurch. Many would probably know him better as Funky Chunky his ice/storm troller of epic douchery.

Smurph, I have a psi blaster to get from 44-50 and I am in a hurry to get it done. How much and when?
