Yup - it ticks way too slow now IMO.

Stalkers suffer in teams because they bring the least to the table - much like Scrappers in Heroes IMO.

Having AS do massive damage against AV's (and scaling down through EB's, Bosses etc...) would be a start. Another way to buff Stalkers would be to make Stalker Unresistables work properly. I don't like seeing my AS ping off an AV or EB (or hell Boss) that's popped something like Unstoppable with naff damage.

It's a good toon for annoying people and for fighting against teams that don't have a lot of buffs. It's also pretty safe to play.

Throw in a load of ToHit Buff's and some Inertial Reduction and suddenly it loses pretty much everything going for it. Hell, aside from TK you don't need ID because Force Bubble is so freaking broken.

Illusion_Master do you want a PvP fight against my SG with your SG.

Hey look I'm not under Plight and that's the important thing.

Indeed the maximum you can have is 2 teams of 8 which is a total of 16. I haven't had a raid that big in a very long time but when did was very laggy and buggy.

Yeah, it's annoying.

8v8 is much smoother (two teams of four per side is also pretty fun, it's a bit more hectic to co-ordinate things like buffs).

Only problem with 8v8 is Base items are incredibly hardcore now without serious debuffs.

Unless you're a Dom it's really nothing to expect.

/Ice has moderate Melee with Ice Sword, it's about twenty times better than Frozen Fists.

However, Blazing bolt is both cool and mega damage. Get that.

I'd respond to the points and views put forth in the above post, however the poor grammar and spelling actually gave me a headache so I had to stop reading.

It's level 497 - it can't actually be slotted.

Thanks everyone

Mes, that's it! Now you'll have to con someone else into being your wench when Conan comes out hehe

[/ QUOTE ]
It's cool, he has Xanthus.

In my mind a Blaster should always use Melee with certain power set combinations simply because of the massive damage and utility potential offered.

There is no Blaster/Blapper divide as far as I'm concerned, just a skill one.

Ruby stop levelling you're catching up.

Yup, long casting suddenly becomes usefull

Maybe not for you, for me it does. Accept, adept and move on; works like a charm.

[/ QUOTE ]
See that's the thing. Even in PvE long animation times in combat can be an issue because it leaves you at the mercy of incoming damage, either unable to use something like Inspirations, Hibernate, PFF etc...

This is even more apparent in PvP IMO.

Ice melee is good at [censored] people off.

Yeah, about the icons, with passives showing and all my toggles on I can get up to almost 3 bars in my buff bar thing solo.

Put in Blast icons on top and I start to get a bit confused.

One Break Free should never be enough to counter a controller in a one on one situation.

Two or three sure, but one? One's pretty easy to stack over.

In the Defiance thread; Dev section.

Controllers get Pets for helping to confuse people tabbing between targets and Hibernate.

In large team fights Control is largely useless. As are Location AoE's. As for Invis- Stealth/Celerity, also most teams will be rocking at least form of +Perc so that's not a huge help.

This rules out the following in your list:


Ill/Emp. Bonuses over Empathy Defender?
-More Damage
-Holds
-Chance for Indominable Will
-Confuse
-Pets
-Invisibility
-Terror

Earth/FF over Energy/FF?
-Huge holds
-Earthquake
-Quicksand


Basically everything. Maybe a Controller could contribute damage or mez wise if the other team was moving like dick - but then that'd be a bad move by that team, not a good one by the controller.

This is all in my opinion, your mileage may vary but I'd expect it's sentiments to be echoed by some people.

I play grav/storm(50), fire/rad(50), ill/emp(31), mind/kin(21) and working on many others but to lazy to qrite them all down but the thing you need to stack these days to get someone held but they just walk away or regens that are held and you are throwing everything that you got and they regen it automaticly. Also new sets for scrappers, how about controllers? The EU servers are dying everyone is leaving, I wonder why O.o

[/ QUOTE ]
Maybe you should think about leaving, too. It's better than you posting the same thing twice in incorrect places without having a clue what you're talking about

If we're talking about the OP itself, 4 places.
