Sorry about the time fluctuation, it's tough to find a time that most people can make and that I am able to make consistently. The 3-hour difference between the west and east is annoying

(And then there's people like Bud who are like 12 hours off everyone else.)


I'm glad everyone is enjoying it though.

Kickball EVERY NIGHT from now on will be at 11:00 PM EST (8:00 PST). Sorry for the trouble, still working some stuff out with this but hopefully it will be perfectly fine-tuned soon.

There is no "best" AoE. It really depends on the situation, though I think FSC, Spin, Soul Drain, and Shield charge are all pretty close to each other at the top.

Thanks again to everyone who came out to another successful kickball!

Just a quick update, I will be posting the time that KB will be run in this thread probably in the early evening/afternoon (depending on your time zone) so check this thread if you want to know when it is. I'll also shout out in a few channels an hour before, 15 mins before, and one final call before it begins.

Be sure to arrive on time or (preferably) a couple of minutes early to ensure that you get a spot because there tend to be a couple people each time who have to wait for the next round.

Lastly if you would like to be a team captain for these send me a PM and I'll fit you in as capt if I can. (Generally I like to put two/three people of the same skill and AT as captain)

Thanks again for makin PvP active on Champion once more!

I think you could do it on a blaster who took the elec mastery godmode, phase, and hibernate. Slot for a bit of recharge and you're golden. Though as Fenix pointed out, it wouldn't really be all that great.

Sweet, thanks cobalt!

Thank you for the support all. Neuronia, kickball is intended to be run every night so it would be an excellent idea to swap a toon over. Travel Supression and Heal Decay will be turned off for these matches.

By the way, in case this affects you the map we use is generally Graveyard because it is large enough for multiple big teams to fit. Though sometimes we may make it the Caves map for good, all around chaos

Kickball ran smoothly tonight. I think everyone had fun. Thanks to those who came out, hope to see you there tomorrow!

Thank you, CL. You included a lot of the stuff I forgot, etc.

Hello Champion! In an effort to increase the PvP activity on the server, myself and a couple others (@Skittle, @Undead Cyborg, @Tungsten Wolf) have begun to run nightly PvP kickball in pocket D.
And now some questions you may be asking:

What is Kickball you say?

--Kickball is essentially team PvP in which two or more team captains are chosen by the leaders that night. The team captains then take turns choosing players they want on their team from the field of remaining players. It is simply called kickball because it is similar to the way teams were chosen when we all played kickball back in elementary school.

I have never PvP'd before, and I have a PvE build. I'm afraid I'll just get ganked constantly and not be able to defeat anybody else.

--It really doesn't matter how good your build is. The teams will be even either way due to the team captains. Don't get me wrong, you're probably going to die more and get less kills than the PvP vets with teh uber buildz. But you'll almost certainly get some kills and who cares if you die? There's no penalty or anything.
--You won't get ganked (a lot) because there are so many other players on your team to choose from! Ever hear the phrase "Safety in numbers"? It applies to team PvP just like anything else.

What time is it at?
--Sorry to say I don't exactly know. In the future we may be able to get a constant time but it is very difficult for me at least to be available at the same time every evening. In any case, I assure you it will generally be in the around 7-8ish PM West Coast time (10-11 PM Eastern, sorry easterners but I'm a west coaster )

Is there anything else I need to know?
--You probably want to start off with something like this if you're new to PvP. If you go to zone you'll meet a lot of a**holes who will farm you.
--You have a chance of getting an uber rare PvP recipe, some of which can sell for MORE than the influence cap



I'm sure I am missing some things so if you have any other questions send me, or the other leaders a PM or in-game tell. (@Mebs, @Skittle, @Tungsten Wolf, @Undead Cyborg)

EDIT: If you have questions about how to PvP, what builds are good, etc. send me a PM, in-game tell or check out the PvP forums.

I'd say spine/regen. The others already covered regen so I won't go over that. But a Spines scrapper would be good because it could obviously help with the yellows, but in addition it could help the ranged team take out the blues

Skip the dmg. Assuming you use the other 5 for the recharge bonus, it'll put you about at the ED cap

Although I was a little disappointed with how the teams were set up (my team got only 1 kill, the other had like 50 in the match), it was overall very fun and I hope you guys run many more of these. Only suggestion would be maybe to have team captains who pick their teams kickball-esque style. Thanks for leading the event PoN.

I don't have a whole lot of experience with either but to me they play very differently. They obviously both have control but then controllers are more buff/debuff oriented while doms focus on damage.

You're planning on killing AV's for drops? Much faster, easier, and efficient to just farm a BM map. Firekin is the best but if you certainly want a SS toon go Fire/SS. It will have more dmg due to getting an extra buildup. (Btw, shield/SS is also great)

Fine for me

I contacted you. You said you were gonna send me a tell or contact me in some other way when you wanted me to do it. I don't think you should really be saying you are "having a hell of a time getting ahold of the people I bought" considering I have not received one tell, PM, or email from you.

Don't have time at the moment to look at the builds so far but this is my current build
