.. and i7 comes with no permaholds so.. yay Tankers vs Scrappers!

OK to those peeps interested in PvP and don't know how to find people to play against:

- Monday nights there's some PvP fun in Test Server. IIRC it's in Galaxy Arena, not sure about the time though

- Wednesdays, I know there is something, but cant remember what tbh lol (someone will have to help me here)

- Saturdays, Arena is kinda crowdy in Union

OK, it's not a PRECISE info lol, but at least it's a first step. Hopefully someone with more accurate data will come and give exact hour and places, and prolly add some other days/events, etc. Sadly, many people that like PvP don't know about the events that are going on, so I thought that with a bit of info they would encouraged to join the regs and spend some good time

Pooh how come i7 is not here yet? I gotta play with a pure PVE build (and when i mean pure PVE i mean i wont last long, really, soz those teaming with me )

Bet it was u who detoggled the server

The worst thing about being in the contest, is that u cant see the other fights at the same time

Bet it was plight. Anything not working in defiant, it's him

Just use Fraps. It's very easy and intuitive to use. I would, but it lags my PC too much, especially for a PvP contest, where it's not fighting brainless NPC's

Oh my! I always thought i7 (and free respec) would be up before the event started... it seems i'll have to play with a pure pve build... oh well, let's give the rest a chance too

/em agree. But hope in the end logic will preveal. We have already lost 2 of the more reputed pvp'ers in the last 15 days

Spines has some toxic DoT, but BU+ripper+placate+impale kills squishies too, with the advantange that u neednt be beside him for the final blow. Besides BU+impale+placate+impale leaves him red, then u just have to peww "f" and leave impale clicked, you dont even have to go close (nice against bubblers, stormies, devices blasters..), and he wont go far

hehe it seemed so busy and so fun pvp areas when debt didnt matter

U won't be using barrage at all in PvP, better use those slots in another more useful power (i even took off barrage from my power list).
U deffo need hasten, and 3 rechrdx in hibernate. If u got spare slots, add 2 heal and 1 end mod, that way u will be fit and ready before taunt and slow debuffs wear off (if u plan on arena team pvp, that is).
Dunno why u ask us not to suggest focus accuracy. Ok, i wont suggest it, but it will be ur loss for sure.
Stun and icicles I would drop them. Icicles seems not the best AS interrupter at all. Anyway if for any reason u want to stay with it, dont slot dmg, its just wasting slots

Because non dmg debuffers wont interrupt in i7. Anyway icicles doesnt interrupt the FOTM defense base sets either (it just pops 'avoided' 'avoided' while u r ASing )

I dont think MA is a weak set at all, but it all comes to compare the other sets. In RV test server thingie, i also 2shot squishies with hide+reaper placate impale (with the advantage that the second hit is ranged). In fact, and i know im against the majority here, but imo spines is all in all the best primary for pvp stalkers.

Gratz and well deserved mate, the first lv50 in union has added one more big 5 to his colletion. This time a fire/ff troller!!! OMG, 16 lv50s already, u showoff git

Now this is getting interesting .
Having tested MA BU it seems correct that it's 80% dmg boost. Some think that best set for a stalker is spines for its range -fly. Others say EM for its dmg stuns. MA would be quite like EM IMO, but dealing less dmg yet demanding less endurance

And if u want to use a katana/broadsword in lv50 arena PvP I'd also go for SR. Stack'd parry along with SR deffense makes pretty untouchable (aid other can fill some gaps). The main issue would be endurance, but with conserve power 3 slotted it's partly relieved.

Having tu walk ur way thru mobs +10's when u dont have travel powers, and besides thru cliffs u dont see till u fall is sucky??? No way it's the funniest part of the game!!! Well, that and soloing Hami (note: big loads of sarchasm included there )

Then we basically aggre on that teledroning when it's not due to base snatching is low. We also agree on that tping to mobs is low. That's 2 out of 2.
About comparing teledroning to debt squadring tp, i also think that the latter is worse, for the debt's sake. But my point there was that, maybe u weren't clear enough, maybe I was short sighted there, but tbh the base snatching factor never crossed my mind when i read ur first post. So i just though that someone tped ur driend away from base to get some bounty, and to intimidate himso that he didnt repeat that tactic, u teledroned him. IMO that someone tps a hero/villian from base doesnt imply there's a gank snatching it. If u see an idle peep inside it tping him out of drone protection seems valid to me, as it is if you see him elsewhere out of base. So I didn't mean to compare teledronning to debt gank as much as I wanted to compare annoyance with annoyance. If someone tps me to the drones when im around their base just to annoy ill try to hit back if can (showing the other cheek is gent, but im not that gent ). But obv if I'm base snatching (I would never be, as its boring, but hypotehically), and i got droned tped i would just laugh and say in broadcas something stupid like 'oi! u scum! i'm gonna tp ur girlfriend to my bed in return!! ' (note the final emote to show up no harsh, but just joking )... and then call a couple of kinetics friends to perma ID me while i tp u from the highest buiding around to make u fall hehe (it's no gain, but always a good fun see peeps confused at the beginning and then run their way to safety ).

Apart from that, i agree with kinslayer. Debt ruins PvP zones. PvP zones would be much more crowdy IMO if there was no debt and no xp involved in there. But i'd even go further. I think drones should disappear, too. I'm aware that bases need some protection, but could easily be solved by having a door (maybe better having several, so that enemies couldnt know where u are coming out from) that no enemies could open/go through, and nobody could be attacked or droned while inside.

I'd never say dodge and agile are useless powers, I just can't find other ones to spare in order to have a travel power, which i think is safer than having 1 or more toggles but having to walk. But well i understand not everyone share my opinion. In the end everyone has his playstyle.

Errm and of course u are write, u can tp urself away when immob, not held. Concept and word got mixed somewhere between my head and my fingers .

And well about the EM/* stalker, well i think it can do things that spines cant, but that goes in both ways. Em fiery dmg and stuns are nice for scrappers and tankers. Nevertheless, Spines range, -speed -rech give a great advantage against those enemies with PbaoE aura and */devices blasters.

Still spines can kill scrappers and tankers and EM can kill /devices and enemies with PbaoE, althout with more difficulties. In the end it's just a matter of taste IMO

are we in the stalker channel? ^^'

true, true . Apologises

Errm actually no, lol. Maybe it's my fault as i didnt give any reference, but gen's blapper was thought for pvp if i'm not wrong (it's ice/elec)

Wouldnt that be against the EULA?
