    I'm really enjoying the game so far, lvl 17 atm and I can only see it getting better. Aion has a completely different feel than CoX which is great, so I can play both of them.
    Theres a bit of a drop in content at lvls 20-21 which slowed me down quite a bit, hoping it picks up again soon. And yeah it's completely different compared to cox.
  2. I've had 4 pvp ios drop for me since they went live (from actual pvp not farming). PvP IO drop rates definately need to be looked at.

    Restrictions are there for a reason, some are needed, while some aren't. On just a 3v3 I honestly don't think AT restrictions are necessary. All stalker teams aren't overpowered, although it greatly depends on what you're fighting. Any team with enough +perc to hit the cap could easily wreck a stalker team if they knew what they were doing.
  5. First PvPEC I haven't attended in quite a while

    Gratz guys, hope you all had a good time. Cool to see new peoples up there in 1st place.

    .. Didn't have IOs then, though.
    The heroes can also be toned down to 50s now with the new difficulty settings (as seen in pic). They die ridiculously fast just cause of that compared to what they used to be.

    I found the post! (and is feeling moderately better about himself knowing that he wasn't spewing random bull out of his mouth)

    That said, It doesn't look to be this weekend.

  9. Nothing needs IOs. Stalkers can do fine with just a stealth IO. Support can do alright on a low budget too, just make sure you get accolades for +hp and other stuff. Zones don't really require super awesome builds because really, its whoever has the most people, or stacked teams, that will win the zone. Unlike the arena.

    It's been done.

  13. Had to read that thread title twice >.>

    Good guide.

    I love my thermal, one thing to note is that the set is VERY playable with only SOs (throw in a stealth IO, and couple recovery uniques for good measure, thats all they really need though). Therms can easily perform on par with other sets fully decked out. The set is just that good.

    [For Corrs] I'd recommend going sonic over other primaries (unless for pvp where you'd want to be elec) because of A) how endurance light sonic is, and B) resistance debuffing. Add in Mu Mastery and you'll never run out of endurance

  16. This is on double xp weekend. >.>
  17. Thing was for me that I thought I was ready but apparantly was not... at all.

    So I had to run to gamestop to get a code.... then wait over 3 hours for the website to come up to apply the code

    Now I'm waitin on server queue with 7 minutes left...
  18. I have it on my fire/kin/psi, added it on day 1 of i16. I've left it off most of the time, because I'd rather them attacking me than eachother, but it's worth it for the purple set and 5% ranged defense.
  19. FML havent been able to get in all day.

    I'm not using insps in pvp. I zone pvp a lot, i'm not running back and forth buying insps all the time, plus for duels we dont use insps.

    power push does indeed do dmg, and has a base kb of 16.6. i can't imagine it needs to be slotted for more kb? the reason i got aid self was because it works well with PFF.

    I am working on a budget. got about 200mill on vills side so far, currently trying to earn more.
    So should i switch levitate for damage instead of kb, and make power push a kb only power?

    i've dropped mass confuse and replaced with dominate, 6 slotted stamina for a cheap 5% extra rech. Still don't have enough slots though, working at it
    Holds, Confuse, and Knockback all work on different timers, so you will get most of your mitigation from that combination alone. Lead with Powerpush, as they are getting up hold them, right as your hold wears off confuse them, when confuse wears off you should be able to powerpush them again. Most people will be sporting alot of knockback protection, slotting for higher knockback helps alot because it's an all or nothing deal. Either you can knockback someone, or you can't and it becomes that much easier for them to stay alive and kill you. Levitate can be slotted up to around 35 KB, powerpush can be brought up to around 45. Most people are unable to protect against 45 kb mag.

    Even if you're just in zones I'd still say leadership over meds pool... If you cannot accurately hit with your mezzes and attacks consistantly you will lose. Mind/Nrg has no Aim or build up type power so having that source of tohit from leadership really helps. The damage bonus from assault helps a bit too. Just as important you need +perception in your build, and tactics gives this.

    I'm not very good at making low budget builds so maybe someone else can help ya out there.

  22. Need Leadership
    Don't need meds pool (bring greens)
    Power Push does 0 damage in pvp, slot it for a higher kb mag than levitate or don't take it
    Need Dominate, slot for hold duration
    Do not need Mass confusion
    Need more recharge

    Are you working on a budget?
  23. You never cease to make me laugh Koji.
