My first dom since CoV first came out is ice/energy, /energy was the laughing stock for years but it's now much better and I still play it from time to time (it's still permadom too). I also have an earth/psi which is a great map wiping combo.

I still have my spine/dark Stalker, made it as a sister of my spine/dark Scrapper, and I still like to play it. Dark isn't a bad set, it's just not a Stalker set but it's very viable if you learn how to use it when you think outside the box as a Stalker.

I'm liking Elec/EA.

Wow are you kidding me? I'm seeing tons of */nrg posts suddenly, I just reactivated and it looks like the new FOTM, I'm going to feel awkward playing my ice/energy that I've had since when CoV first came out.

I didn't want to be awsnered with negative comments. I know this is silly posting on the boards, but hey, it is a trial account i'm using! :P

Can anyone actually awnser my question? If not then dont bother replying

[/ QUOTE ]There's a problem to that, everytime a farm MA gets published, it'll get deleted within hours. You won't get much of an answer for your original question.

I don't care about the 1 starring, people will do that everywhere they go, on the Call of Duty forums, people that reach a certain rank can go 1 star everyone (I went from 5.00 down to 3.00 due to that and I haven't done anything to deserve that). A couple of my arcs went from 5 star down to 2 stars very quickly, but it's the sent feedback that matters (I've had one guy tell me he 1-starred one of my missions because the EB 1 shotted him, LMAO).

It's already becoming an annoyance, each time I log in I get tells "AE farm?" in the past few days, it's a bit harder to get ITF and paper/radios going right now, or even sewer teams in AP. On top of that, MA pugs are usually a horrible disaster.

The dueling and fiteklubbing has gotten out of hand in zone pvp, I don't remember this happening alot in other games with zone-based pvp. as Please_Rewind said, there's arenas for that.

Planetside had awesome open world PvP.

[/ QUOTE ]There's something wrong with this statement. It's an FPS in an MMO world. :P

I'm not a fan of WoW, but when I played it I liked WoW's battlegrounds the most out of most games I've played. I did a little world pvp for a while but wasn't a big fan of it.

[/ QUOTE ]

Planetside also had and still has very HUGE imbalance issues.

[/ QUOTE ]What? the "Junkhammer", that's what they called it in the beginning and now it's the "Noobhammer" because people figured out how to use it and the devs never touched it once, I remember Lasher 2.0- omg you could kill people BEHIND you with that thing. LOL oh the memories, I played since closed beta and stopped playing the game when they added BFRs. Now I vow to never play another SOE product again.

Well guys, i'm out, been playing this game for 4 years. Too much has changed it's not the "girl" I met back then. I did mainly PvP in Siren's, some know me as Butterfly Kiss (the PFF Watcher) and Envious (the elusive stalker) but after being killed over and over today while hidden (max stealth) I know this game has lost any enjoyment for me. With the nerf to defense there's no sane reason to stay. Hey I almost made it to Issue 14. Good Luck, Have Fun... and see you guys on the Flip-side.

[/ QUOTE ]Oh I know, what's up with that? My main Stalker has 1143 max stealth from hide, IO and stealth and people in RV jumps down at me and immediately attacks me as if they saw me from 100ft away or something, I'm thinking stealth also gets DR'd.

I used to pvp regularily in SC as well before my break last year, I enjoyed zone pvp from i5 to i11 and now I don't like pvp after i13 and nor do most people that I know.

Someone else in another thread said that debuffs will be king and defense will be gone out the window in i14... sounds fun, not.

[ QUOTE ]
lol. I'll get right on beating you with my Emp/Dark. I mean, now that his heals and buffs are pretty much useless, I should be able to kill something, right? Right...? Guys?

[/ QUOTE ]Yeah it put certain ATs especially most Doms except *cough*fire/elec*cough* out of the picture, you almost never see support ATs in zones anymore (it's always blasters, scrappers, widows and forts). Stalkers aren't that great either, the damage output is lame, especially AS.

[ QUOTE ]
I13 was a big step forward in the PvP game and greatly improved my PvP experience. Now it is possible for me to bring my fire brute to a zone and have a chance of winning against any archtype, just as any archtype now has a chance of winning against me. The challenge makes the game fun.

[/ QUOTE ]/facepalm... Oh Jake...

I don't even know what Armada was. I grew up on GI Joe and the Ninja Turtles.

[/ QUOTE ]That and Transformers and Pee-Wee Herman's Playhouse and Knight Rider and A-Team and Dukes of Hazard and... Carebears?

[ QUOTE ]
Meh, I had the mako PPP way before all this happen. Mainly just cause I think they looked cool

[/ QUOTE ]My spine/dark Stalker's first of the dual build has soul mastery for shadow meld and dark blast but my second build is made for ITF and has cloak of fear, spirit shark and water spout and the shark throwing can be a riot, I can see why it's handy in pvp.

[ QUOTE ]
I'll be honest. I don't understand how you people even do PvP in RV these days. It's such a ridiculous joke, I can't imagine how anybody can have fun doing it.

The sharks, the broken elusivity coupled with non-stop tier 9's, the constant hibernoob/PFF/phase....it's like the absolute worst PvP this game has ever seen.

Be smart, stick to Sirens. PvP there is still actually playable.

[/ QUOTE ]QFT, except for Sirens, it's just as bad as RV and is deserted these days. Neighborhood battles FTW (until a /pain MM with bodyguard shows up).

Whoa this thread is still alive?

[ QUOTE ]
Due to all the complaining I see on the boards about how PvP in this game is dying, I can tell ya one thing....you guys are not going to help populate PvP.

[/ QUOTE ]It's more like "Due to the state of PvP, it isn't going to help populate PvP". So much fun when being hit by a /psy Defender from 100+ ft away and getting travel suppressed not being able to retaliate.

Just wondering if people have tried the 7.8's and what the general consensus is on em? Better, worse?

[/ QUOTE ]Wondering the same, after the 7.7 hicup (missing mouse) I reverted back to 7.5. I am download it on my other PC right now which still runs Windows XP.

Nice guide.

About disruption field, they fixed the caster aggro, I have not had any aggro problems with it on anymore. I am not very fond of liquify but I suggest 3 rech and 3 tohits, it is one of those powers that takes too long to recharge and need 6 slots to be effective like dark armor's cloak of fear. About sonic cage, considering PvP 2 acc or 3 acc to ensure it lands through those emp fortitude/clearmind buffs which has +defense, and 3 recharges so you can recast it as soon as the annoying debuffer or emp tries to do something.

Sonic repulsion is not useful at all, probably the biggest garbage power in the whole game.

I just installed Catylist 7.7 upgrading from 7.5, now I get the disappearing mouse ingame, I never needed to use -compatiblecursors before.

I think a simpler way of saying it is: Doms don't suck and are playable, but they do suck when compared to other ATs.

I did a little PvP with my plant/thorn Dom last night in SC before hitting the sack and I was doing pretty well giving Tanks and Blasters some work while kiting and stacking slows and holds and confusing them and getting domination up twice, the best I have had with my Dom considering PvP so far until 20 minutes later two emp Controllers showed up and I was unable to do a thing to any of the heroes while I was teleported and instantly held everytime I got in their sight.

I have said this before, one powerset can render an entire AT, I wish I could say the same about having a /thermal, /poison or /sonic available as often as emps are to render Controllers useless offensively.

I hear that devs may be putting in some mez protection when domination is up, but I had said back when patrons were first introduced before I7 hit test that Doms should have gotten some mez shields or a dullpain type power in the patron pool but now Doms got the worst end of the stick getting more blasts and more pets.

As someone with several controllers, and several more doms, I can't do anything but completely disagree with you, at least in my case. I'd despise it if my Dom was saddled with a support secondary. The best day my controller ever had was the one where she had Fire Sword as a temp power.

[/ QUOTE ]

It depends on if you're a Controller who mostly solos and doesn't(yet) have a damaging pet. If my Fire/Storm Controller was given Dom attacks as a bonus, I'd never use them. I'm too busy healing my Imps and keeping the mobs held and debuffed as my Imps tear through them.

I'd imagine a lot of other Controller fans feel the same way. Which is why Controllers are fairly common and Doms rather rare.

[/ QUOTE ]I have a ball with my illusion/sonic Controller, spawning PA and having sonic disperson and super invis up keeps me alive while solo and PA does plenty of good fire/cold/smash/psi damage, I do not have phantasm yet and I look forward to it.

With my Dom, I do OK while solo, roots+SoC then finish off the remaining with creepers. While teamed I hardly ever use secondary attacks since all other villain ATs do better damage on their blast/melee attacks than Doms do, so I focus on holding and confusing most of the time. Suppose Doms was designed with solo in mind?
