See above - you can stack the debuff 4 times with just SOs depending on your Transfusion slotting. And more with Hasten and IO Set Bonuses.

This is the important thing about Transfusion - it stacks.

Wasn't always that way (or it wasn't providing as high -Regen and/or was insanely short duration) but now it's incredibly effective at crippling the Regeneration of most AV's and GM's.

Try a decent one, like IE.

Ahahahahahahahahaha.

Robots/Dark has a very healthy lot of -Regen which always makes things easier, along with -Res and a Slow from Tar Patch, and of course Darkest Night offering a bit of -Dmg too.

I'd imagine they're one of the safest/faster combo's as long as you can keep your bot's alive.

Heroside, an Ill/Rad with Perma PA can solo pretty much anything short of Hamidon.

I'll have you know I've solo'd Hamidon!

(granted it was when Touch of Lady Grey dmg proc was bugged )

I solo'd it with my Kat/DA Scrapper on Test.

Rad's safer on set-up but I (generally speaking) have an easier time on a /kin once I've got Siphon Speed/Power's rolling.

Hero side for most AV's I'd still probably say Fire/Kin (beats Fire/Rad if played properly with ease).

As for actual time, that's an abstract number - you can get unlucky and get one/two shotted by a lot of AV's pretty easily.

I'd love for them to bring the CoP Trial back (well a new one that works), but base raids and pvp really need to be up to scratch first IMO.

Unless they make it a purely PvE trial.

Which would be a shame.

If you've got (apparent) low DPS try looking at your attack chain. Make sure Shout's at the end of your ranged chain so it benefits the most from -Res/Defiance. (Some might say that Shout should be Attack #1 as it provides the biggest damage buff, but I still think (Amplify)Shriek>Scream>Shout or (Amplify)Shriek>Scream>Shriek>Shout provides better net DPS).

The -Res coupled with Screech's handy Control make it a very solo and team friendly Blaster even if the AoE's aren't that great. It works very well for going straight on Bosses/EBs/AVs and has an awesome nuke (near instant damage plus stun yes please).

It does, however, feel like you're wading through treacle which I think is a contributor to a lot of peoples thoughts that it's bad DPS. It feels slow, it's one reason my Sonic/ is near untouched at 50 with a half-hearted build (another reason is I coupled it with /Fire for a laugh - don't do it kids, that's some bad synergy).

Sonic's a great set with lacklustre animation/rooting times, I'd love for them to be trimmed some more but I doubt it'll happen as Castle's such a huge fan of the DPA system for balancing. Infact the reason it doesn't feel bursty in my opinion is precisely the fault of the animation times. You don't get that same big lot of damage in the short time frame as other sets because you're caught up in animation times even if overall DPS is generally comparable over the fight.

You shouldn't be being outperformed by Scrappers unless they are seriously getting A) good strings of crits which is a luck factor or B) it's something like a spines/dark or similar with a specialised AoE build.

(Man I'm glad I checked this post over, I put "RNG" in instead of "luck factor" and that would've confused you lot a bit).

I think the best thing would be an announcement that they're reverting PvP zones back to a rule set closer to I12 than I13.

O hai Pyra! o/

(this is from a non-pvper)

honestly , team based pvp dont need any boost from devs. normally ppl have to know that (for example a blaster) "if i team up with a tanker , i dont need to think about my defence and also i wont need acrobatics" (as i said im not a pvper and maybe you dont need acrobatics for blasters =) ) or its more like this for a scrapper : "if i team up with a defender , specially a cold defender , i wont need to th,nk about my defence too badly.

you are right about "we know how to team up" , and ppl who trying to pvp must know teaming up too.. and when you defented , ppl have to know that the team defeated , as a team.

If a Blaster teams with a Tank, the Blaster's bait while the Tank gets the kills.

Team PvP was probably at it's best Pre-i13, Pre-IO and before +Res buffs were so readily used.

The game as a whole however is better for IO's and the Sonic Resonance / Thermal Radiation sets so hey swings and roundabouts.

Funny though, back in t'day when it was all literally new and shiny pretty much everyone thought that Melee toons (ie; scrappers back then) where the ultimate PvP character(s). This was hilariously false, now though...

Yeah, I applied for beta and haven't been invited.

I wonder if they wanted specific people "Arcaneville please come fix our game for us?".

[/ QUOTE ]
To be honest, I'd want Arcanaville to come fix my game if I was making one.

They obviously have incredible faith in their own project if they're worried about getting A) beta testers and B) existing fans of the superhero mmo genre.

So that's what Avatea was doing!

Oh snap.

Wow, two threads in two seperate sections of the boards in the same circular debate. GG.

Anything with Xanthus.

Golden Girl not turning on Integration and running on to Ice Slick. Repeatedly.

Man Telefrag's are going back quite a way.

It would be hilarious, if impractical.

Beta Tester's probably get a Badge or something, hence them being tight lipped.

There's probably going to be a hard cap on either number of custom mobs or overall file size simply to keep it all working smoothly.

I can't imagine people will want to download half a meg of data for a custom mission even with connection speeds these days.

No leaks = no closed beta.
