Couple of other things you may or may not be aware of in one or two of your questions...

2) If you have funny working hours you may actually be better to play peak time on an EU server. (just a suggestion)

3) City of Hero's is not like WoW, villains are not able to attack you as you level up unless you are in a specific PvP zone. Players can go from 1-50 without even seeing an enemy player.

4) There are few types of pvp, arena matches are set up and pretty much act like a duelling system. You can enter one from anywhere by typing /arenalist or there are Zones where it's a Red Vs Blue kill what you want and do your best to stay alive.

SuperStrength

Energy Melee

Fire Melee

If these don't take your eye, don't make a brute.

Yea I'm sure they do, both have long animation times now... but they are also a massive flag saying asssassin strike me!

Although you mention ET, Only tanks get that blue side I think that Duke was referring to blaster 2ndary.

I have TF on mine, but remember to hit it while in mid jump and glace opponents, standing still and activating it will mean certain death if there are any half good stalkers about.

Oooh that sounds nice... What epic would a traps/Sonic benefit from?

Maybe mind to TK Av's onto mines?

I seem to be drawn towards trying to make a traps fender, be a bit of a challenge I think.

I have an Ice devices with Disruptor badge, was my favourite toon back in the day of pvp before it was "balanced"... pain in the rear, don't get me started on it.

Anyhow, the reason that Devices were condsidered good to combat stalkers was because of Caltrops, and Perception in the form of targetting drone.

Now.. a few things have changed. Damage is now worked out by activation time, and what was once a great fast firing set has now taken a beating damage wise because of it's activation times.

And then stalkers got +Stealth IO's meaning that with Hide, Stealth and the IO they hit the stealth cap which is higher than a devices blaster with Drone, Tactics, and Perception
IO.

As for Caltrops that still works combatting assassin strike, however there are ways around this too.. Teleport, Phase, etc meaning that any fairly good stalker will still get their strike in.

Otherwise you will just get Sharked and ranged dmg'd to death now that against a blaster stalkers don't need to use AS.

Oh, and remember using devices roots you, where trip mines and tp foe was once a joy to behold the phase suppression on TP foe means you can no longer do that as effectively as before....


All in all, pvp 2.0 really screwed my fav toon.

Anyway, best thing to do now is take Psi/Em, Fire/Em, Rad/Em, Sonic/Em...

Build for Hp and recharge, do the accolades to cap yourself at 1600 and take ice mastery for SnowStorm, Frozen Armour, Hoarfrost and Hibernate and make sure you have 41pts of KB prot.

If a stalker hits you, Hoarfrost and then make them sorry they made themselves visible..
Oh and get a temp phase power from WW or Warburg cause any stalker worth their salt will have phase.

Yea best to do that...


If you can't explain yourself it's best to be quiet.
Shame you didn't think about that beforehand.

Ok well I didn't know what he meant either so I was asking when I said..

Which leaves us with your wonderful reply after that which said, As opposed to "why?" and "i still think it's stupid..."

So if you didn't know what he meant why on earth are you elaborating on the 2 posts I made he was referring to !

So i will say this once again.... if you think you can explain better SwellGuy feel free.

He was referring to the saying "those who live in glass houses should not throw stones"
It means that ... something that you say which means people should not criticize other people for faults that they have themselves

I was asking him to elaborate on what fault he thinks I have relating to this topic.



p.s. - I said - "Still think it's stupid" which is completely different from "your stupid"




anything else I can explain for you?

Actually yes, because those comments are me expressing an opinion they are not abusive or insulting...

Hence....... I would like to know how you justify


But if you think you can explain better SwellGuy feel free.

I'd love to hear the train of thought that went before that post...
