Quick question, how much regen do I get per enemy when it's unslotted?

[/ QUOTE ]

according to hero builder it increases you regen by 5% of base unslotted per mob it hits, i read on the us baords a whle ago the spirit tree and DP both fully slotted can make /regens cry with envy

EDIT; just checked and spirit tree unslotted doubles base regen rate and triples it fully slotted in case you're wondering

DOminators are by far the squishiest AT, doms and blasters are unique to each side in that they have no form of "passive" defence, all other AT's have shields or debuffs or heals available to them to keep them alive. Blasters become much more damagerous the closer to death they become and i'm sure Defiance prevnts them from dying most of the time in pve, and allows them to kill thier target in pvp before death so it's all good.

Now dominators inherent abilite, which in itself is awesome, seems to be the worst thought out in that it requires them to live the longest of any AT before they can use it and the have no defnces to manage this, sure they can lock down a group of mobs which i think of as "active" defence but only works if you're aware of every single combatant. every other AT's inherent is usable instantly, ok bruted have to work up fury but they have passive defences to do this plus it doesn't need to reach full to start working, i like the idea of doms getting a fury bar type effect where their damage and mag/hold duration steadily increases the longer they fight, it wuld certaily soften the AT's weaknesses but i think it'll be a bit too much. personally i think controllers and dominators would be more thematic if switched, i mean what kind of hero get's off on attacking helpless foes? and fighting for ages against an evil group of foes could lead upto that "power of greyskull" moment so much more for heroes than villains and controllers would have the tools to get there so much easier, but again i think this'd balance doms nicely but proably make trollers imba

back to the point dominators definately need a boost to survivability as they only get to use thier inherent as a result of long life, fine in pve but rediculously difficult in zonal, non duel, pvp (even with the boost)

It's all a bit of a silly situation, seeing as EU (higher tier) PvP is pretty much gone.

i can't speak for anyone but for myself, i find the pve in this game dull and have done for a while, i have two end game chars galeforce and lady essence both of which were made for pve well before issue 4, neither of which are that good in solo pvp, gale in particulr was hit hard by ED and toggle drop nerfs (though i totally understand why these changes were necessary). now i only pve to level new toons to try in pvp and the 20-30 mark is quite easy to achieve before i once again get bored, high enough to enter Sirens so that tends to be where i stay. i don't know, but i doubt, if i'm the only one so maybe level 30 arena tournaments would get a larger crowd? or possibly level 32 to get the best out of yuor primary, just a thought.

but having said that if level 30 pvp is as popular as it was a few months ago sirens would be a lot better and we probably wouldn't be having this converstaion.

I dislike warburg though the level range makes it a lot more challenging (troller pets, granite MoG etc.) the FFA seems imo to favor the quick killers (blasters stalkers) and those who can survive them or even groups of them (tanks, brutes, scrappers) defenders, corruptors, controllers, and domintors are gonna find it much harder without a full team (don't get me wrong i'm sure theres a few of each archtype who can cope solo though i have yet to see it). and tend to avoid these places unless there's a team to go with. MM's played well (or not so well) can of course fall into either of the three categories. i avoid the place because the only pvp toon i have who can get in is DS and she's 37 respecced to a level 30 pvp build no slots in the over thirty powers etc. when i have tried finding a team seems to be too important and difficult, even allowing vills and heroes to team could help there, i know it's not very RP but then neither is heroes killing/"arresting" each other.

Anywho i think i seem to have lost the point. just downloading the US client now and on my way to freedom to see the difference. the pvp zones pulled me back into this game and if it stays the way it is now i shall be leaving again to go back to *shudders* WoW *ducks for cover*

Antithetix?

[/ QUOTE ]

yeah that was it, very cool, i think he had body gaurd on perma and was using challenge or provoke from the presence pool to make it work for him, very nicely done definately deserves a mention

[ QUOTE ]
yeah you're very good with tp, great for choosing those battles you can win and getting out of no-win situations

[/ QUOTE ]

edited for truth.

My scrapper is Spine Shooter and blaster is Blue freezer.

[/ QUOTE ]
ahh i remember spines shooter kept pointlessly immobing a tp-er for his gank squad
hehe i already knew you were blue freezer, very humble of you not to mention yourself in the opening post given you won squished.

[ QUOTE ]
i would mention dark siren she's very good always escapes my spines regen with her teleport...

[/ QUOTE ]

....well perhaps she wouldn't lower herself to trading blows with yet another FotM

BTW who is your spines/regen? i lose track of them after a while it can be like counting sheep.

[ QUOTE ]
If it existed, everyone knows there no such thing as a son/son

[/ QUOTE ]

hehe you obviously weren't at squished transonic was a right pain in the perma intangible [censored]

hehe you're gonna be inundated with blaster and stalker requests, anyone able to press two or three buttons in the right order is gonna want a mention

ahh i see then yeah as i said this is from sirens experience and the occasional arena fight. btw chill is far-seer head of the super union SG and is very good though i maybe biased

what cherry said sweet chilli and blue freezer should definately get a mention in there somewhere, and whats the criteria for this? you're missing a stalker and i think effigee mk 4 should get a mention as stalker, always manages to get me even when i'm flying full speed without stopping, and also icy hidden moon is very good though not seen her in a while. and for corruptors (since you only have 2) i think cold hearted evil and DarkSiren (though sirens only build) should possibly get a mention. also for dominators daddys little defct and me so thorny can be quite dangerous.

btw most of this comes from sirens experience so maybe we don't count. as i said i don't know what the criteria are.

EDIT: also Tara Thorn as being the only dangerous and exclusively ranged blaster i've seen deserves a mention on the strength of that fact alone

The other problem is that the person completing the mission only knows what percentage their mission has added. i.e.

"Villain X has completed a mission. Villains have a 5% damage increase"

What it doesn't tell you is that there was already a 5% increase in effect because villain Z had completed a mission just before you entered so the buff is actually 10%.

[/ QUOTE ]

I believe it changes by 1% for each mission done. So if it did say a 5% increase it would have only been 4% previously. An easy way to get this information would be welcome though.

[/ QUOTE ]

what he said, everytime you complete a mission a zone announcement goes out telling everyone the total buff/debuff which your mission has just increased by 1% and they last indefinately (of course constantly being added to/subtracted from by other players) unless the server goes down then they tend to reset

yeah exactly as the OP said, those who do the missions tend to do so when it's quiet in there so they don't get hassled and there is no way to find out without a second person in the zone. i've often thought this should be fixed

[ QUOTE ]
Enter the PvP zone and check your buff icons?

[/ QUOTE ]

unless they changed it recently that just shows you the buffs or debuffs for your own side and gives no clue to the value of buff/debuff which can never go above 15%

hasten does effect itself, before ED you used to be able to put 5-6 recharge SO's on it and have it perma but now with 3 being the max you can have it about 75% of the time i think

galeforce 50 storm/elec defender @galeforce

Just a shame that some people still have their artificially boosted post counts gained from the thread...

[/ QUOTE ]

does it really matter how many threads other people have? i mean really?

Also Bridger could this thread get a sticky? it's a good place to vent (within board rules of course) or congratulate each other after a good battle, would be nice

i knew i could count on you raz *huggles*

well just had a great evening in sirens ended on a sigh note hehe, there were just me (lady essence grav/kin) and 2 villains in there a necro/dark MM and a dark/dark corr we had a few scraps won some and lost some.

i then saw the MMs pets fighting a longbow warden so i give him some SB and use transfusion just to see how long it takes for him to kill the pets, not doing anythign else to help him, the MM could run at anytime i wasn't stopping him.

anyway i get jumped by the corruptor during this time, eventually held her which took a while (thanks to darkest night) and start propelling with containment.

while this is going on the warden has apparently annihilated the MMs pets and he has run over to where we were fighitng leading the warden the MM then dies and the Corrutor (who is held) gets aggro and dies bloody.

I start getting called all sorts i'm in two minds about this certainly not funny but the MM could have run (i was NOT doing anything to prevent him no holds or slows etc) or tried to stop me at anytime i am not responsible for his debt or am i? as for the corruptor who i was fighitng the warden was led to him by the MM but he was held by me which is something i really do feel bad about because she at least wasn't being "i am teh oober pwnzers" all night. Still it was a crappy ending to a fun evening.

i'll join galeforce level 50 defender

Got well and truely owned by a Dominator and Corrupter in Sirens (on Union) last nice. As my Ice tank. Granted it took them a long time to take me down (with Shiv help) and I don't have a single attack so was always going to be a one way fight, but was suprised how effective the dark debuffs were for lowering my defenses, and the dominator in domination totally ate through my mez protection.

Funny thing was I didn't have any BFs so i summoned Amy J to help me out, but all she did was the odd heal and attack, was kinda hoping she'd throw a clear mind my way

First time I've PvP'd for ages and reminded me that it's helpful to have a decent team backing you up. And fear seems to be FoTM at the moment, and a bit too good

[/ QUOTE ]

i hate to be a cow [not strictly true but you get the idea ], but you summoned amy j first so we resorted to a shivan then, don't try playing the victim here hehe and we were hodling off a few other heroes too, but thanks for the shout out

still it reached almost 500 pages before they decided that. with no warning

that sucks, i've been expecting it to be moved to general or something for months, but just to disappear like that. and i thought I was evil...

title says it all, maybe i'm just blind..?
