• Due to the incredibly low drop rate on ANY type of PvP IO Recipe and to help cut down on the mindless AFK farming to increase the chances of getting just one (1) PvP IO in the course of a 12 hour period. System would also be striving towards giving a tangible incentive to PvP for certain amounts of time with a set (and tangible) goal in mind.

• Divide rep of the target defeated by the size of the team that killed the person (Rounded up).

• Ex 1. Team of 6 kills someone for 5.00 Rep = 1 PvP Merit rewarded to each person on that team.

• Ex 2. Team of 2 Kills someone for 5.00 Rep = 3 PvP Merits rewarded to each person on that team.

• Awarded in Zones and Arena (Maybe a Merit bonus for winning team? Exploitable?)

• Rep timers reset every five(5) minutes.

• Would stop the complaining of PvPing in zones for hours and receiving nothing but maybe a few inspirations drop on you.

• Ice blast, amongst other powers across various power sets went to crap after the “Animation time” damage calculation factor was applied.

• To help those powers out and bring final balance amongst other powers of similar nature I propose to invoke a system that not only calculates Animation time, but also calculates at what “Tier” the power being used is.

• This would bring a nice and much needed buff back to Bitter Ice Blast and also bring sets that should be flourishing, back on par with those sets which got a huge buff previously.

• Gives back the sensible endurance usage of “Nukes” and adds to them a reasonable damage component which can once again be used in a PvP setting.

• In an effort to bring back the usefulness of “Buffing” characters and power sets other than empathies and pain domination I propose that all Global Resistances be re-evaluated and reduced to 60% of their current values.

• Under the current system certain buffs which should help you out do nearly nothing at all for you in nearly every current PvP scenario, which indirectly negates the usefulness of many “buff” powers ( i.e. Sonic/Thermal/Cold/Force field Shields), and in return makes those archetypes useless.

• Lowering the Global resistances places characters further away from the steep Diminished Returns curve, allowing buffers to give reasonable buff numbers to those on their team and around them in PvP – thus making them useful and welcomed on teams.

• No Buff should give less than 30% of its buffed value.

• In contrast, Only 1 “Shield-type” of buff can be placed on any character at a given time, and the higher value buff trumps the lower one.

• Ex. Having 1 Thermal RESISTANCE shield and a Cold DEFENSIVE shield are ok and won’t cancel each other, if a sonic were to come along and try to buff whoever had the higher value on their RESISTANCE buff would trump the other.

• Applies to Fortitude and similar powers.

• Does NOT apply to Clear Mind or buffs of similar nature.

• Boost the Elusivity numbers on appropriate powers by 5%.
  

• This gives Defense-based power sets a similar boost that Global Resistances give to Resist-type power sets.

• Fix delayed damage calculation from Psi Blast (If possible).

• Cage-type powers fixed at a six(6) second duration.

• Fix the Ancillary Telekinesis power; make it resemble that of the controller.

• Cage-type powers fixed at an eight(8) second duration.

• Nothing huge ATM (admittedly I don’t play scrappers so inform me if there are issues).

• Re-evaluate Ancillary Power Pool range-type damage powers. Fossilize does more damage, or equal damage, than some blaster big hitters (Bitter Ice Blast, Blaze, etc.)

• 5% base damage boost (Even in PvE) on all damage powers.

• Warshades would need a complete revamp to pose viable in any mildly serious form of PvP.

• Electric Blast – Ball of Lightning currently does PvE damage in PvP.

• Lingering Radiation permanently travel suppresses and slows without DR being applied.

• Working as Intended?

• Remove the Critical effect from Stalker Patron Powers. A stalkers main power, Assassinate, is and can easily be trumped by “Trowin’ Shraks”. This is detrimental to the fundamental structure of the Stalker AT and thus needs to be re-evaluated.

• Cage-type powers have a base 4 second duration

• Hold-type powers have a base 6 second duration

• Mace Blast – Poisonous Ray is bugged on Damage/Debuff (I can’t fully remember)

• Domination Revamp:

• While Domination is active all hold-type and Cage-type powers have their duration increased by 50%.
  • Holds up to 9 seconds
  • Cages up to 6 seconds

• Domination is hard/impossible to “perma” under the current system and with DR going, so even recharge heavy builds would only gain such a benefit from this revamp over those who aren’t built for recharge.

• Working as Intended?

• Add Elusivity to Bane Spider Training – Cloaking Device.
• Fix Indomitable Will on Night Widows and Fortunata's so that the Knockback Resistance isn't suppressed when "Mez'd"
