I have 3 warburg nukes, as yet not sure what I'll do with 'em, but I had to say I had 3 nukes (and counting for intended usage in the raid).

[/ QUOTE ]

Please do NOT use Warburg nukes at the raid. We do not have a damage phase, and as such attacks aren't needed. In addition to this, the lag those things cause is IMMENSE which is something we definitely don't want during the raid.

Edit: Also, quick note; Honsou can't make it to this raid due to RL stuff so Nemesis Spawnus will be targetting in his place.

[/ QUOTE ]

Cool. One of those nukes is a buff, is it a good idea to fire it before entering the hive or leaving it entirely?

Never seen anyone with a temp power bow, maybe someone else can shed a light on that.

Welcome to pvp.

Just another voice in the mix here to say that you did nothing wrong, Wuffles and should keep on keeping on.

The thing that really grates on me at the moment is all the crying in broadcast when people die, even in a fair fight.

"You can't beat me unless it's 2-v-1!"
"That was 6-v-1 you gankers!"
"I only had 10 hit points!"
"I was resting!"

and yesterday, having never seen the excuse before, I twice saw "You can only kill me when I'm running a long animation!"

It's PvP. If you're in the zone, you're a target and you may well be a target for multiple enemies.

I can't turn broadcast off, because some heroes are absolutely worth talking to, but I just hate the endless crying on and on. I understand totally the "I'll get you!" mentality, but it's just so refreshing to meet people who die in the "right" spirit.

I'd rather people [broke the EULA and] swore at me and told me how they were going to render me into minced meat than generated reason number one million about how their death wasn't fair.

Me too

it implies that I killed them and not 3 scrappers rushing into the fight eager to help out

Frazzle.d is there! With warburg nukes! And a mind state that empaths shudder at! Make of this what you will!

/em collapse on bed

I haven't seen it yet, but I have an urge to Charged Brawl you anyway.

This is not a role-play game


[/ QUOTE ]

That's debatable - several of the people I know do things when playing Villians that they'd never dream of doing as a Hero

[/ QUOTE ]

And vice-versa

[ QUOTE ]
Well the first thing I generally look for is the Power Generator. Take that out and you take out everything. Why destory it all seperately?

[/ QUOTE ]

That's the thing that got me about bases, they might be the prettiest of bases, but it means SFA if your enemy pops his head round the corner and nukes your power generator while your guards are wondering what to do with the salvage in the corner.

I dunno.

I LOL'd.

And that's your lot boys and girls, if you look to your right, you'll see an incoming elec / elec blaster designed to do a duracell on tank or brute

Gratz.

RES heavy sets such as SR

[/ QUOTE ]
I hope that's a brainfart.

[/ QUOTE ]

Not enitrely. IIRC SR powers do give increased resistance to attacks as your health goes down, but you can't slot it. It is defence, but resistance is in there, I was thinking he meant Invul? Maybe

[ QUOTE ]
I think our chats on the Leader channel tonight definitely showed a lot of holes in our general PvP min/max knowledge.

One thing that did come up was the RES vs DEF question and also the value of -ACC powers.

For arena team PvP, where should our buffs/debuffs be concentrated? -DEF -ACC +DEF +RES, balanced.

Overall opinion seemd to be go with RES heavy sets such as SR and concentrate on +DEF and +DMG buffs for our team. Chances are this is wrong though so any feedback appreciated.

(Please just leave the flaming. We've seen enough of it lately and I think people have all said their piece in other posts. No need to carry it on)

[/ QUOTE ]

That's quite an interesting point raised about the res, def, etc stuff. I would rather have increased resiatance myself after a little thought, since it could make a blaster's defiance scretch out longer, couple with other buffs going on (ie, empaths' RA buffs) - but this is strictly about my blaster, it would be interesting to see how it fares out but /rad seems to be a really popular pvp tool, I know I'd definately like to see actual Sonic offenders once in a while.

Ack, I'd tie myself to a post and smear myself in tuna or whatever regens like to eat than fight another /rad troller =*(

Hehe, made me laugh =)

I'll look through the Echelon archives now..

edit: lolage. This one here
has to be one my favourites since Raz and Fraz = What can I say? I'm Nebula's cannon fodder, even if they really really don't like me doing it.

Makes a lot more sense why the Echelon coalition chat is so mad, Vamos sounds totally insane ike all good regens (and blasters) should be.

So would a tank possibly screw his build over if they picked the Concealment power pool? This doesn't seem right to me, because I don't read 'Group Invis nerfs tanks even more' in the little status circles.

Currently thinking.

Hasten at 47. 3 recharge and 3 end drain, coupled with cab, power sink, short circuit, and thunderclap, thinking it could be useful in PvE and PvP.

Glee!

Or you could just slot damage and kill everything .

[/ QUOTE ]

Wanted something different in PvP and it will still be useful in PvE too. Every blaster and his mother slots the nuke for damage, but I'd rather be able to take advantage of the -end recovery of it and see what happens.

Hmm...two end drainers. Cool. I might not go for the fitness pool at all with this brute and also ignore the patron powers too.

Hoping to make something pve / pvp balanced, but it's staying upstairs for now.

Elec Armor looks pretty complicated to play IMO
Its like playing Half Dark/Half Energy but without any heal nor any defense...really difficult.

...but well,we dont know the numbers yet(do we?).If the numbers are as usual 22.5% resist and so on I really cant see the benefits of this armor that compensates the obvious lacks.
Resist based sets really needs a heal because they get hit and the regen is not usually enough.Defense based sets(but could use it anyway ) dont need it since you are not hit and your unslotted health regen is usually enough(not to fight an AV of course).
So they have taken dark armor low-tier powers and energy high-tier powers and in the middle has changed a heal for +spd + recharge...how does this help to damage mitigation? Well +recharge is +dmg since you can use your best powers more frequently and applying the 5D theorem (Dead deeds dont do damage) this is more protection but its so slightly noticeable i dont know how to play an elec armor...i mean,if youre a */fire brute(and this is the protection a I see on elec) youre a scrapper,you are a big bad evil flaming bunch of damage and you cant take it well,you know it and handle with it....but "What If"(tm) you dont have a heal?
Now I see the situation:

"Come on man,get into the room.Youre the tanker"
"No,i am a elec brute(put fire here if you wanna).I really cant tank against 15 purple...really.Really im closer to a scrapper than a tanker"
"Bahhh...nonsense,get your evelish [censored] inside that room and start smashing.thats what brutes do,no?"
"Well,yeah,but I think i couldnt even survive the alpha.We better pull a little group"
"Pull? a brute? ...shame for you and your archetype!Penitentiate!!!"

When youre squishy and ppl thinks youre the juggernaut things tend to get complicated so I...finally...got absolutely no clue how an elec armor should be played.

[/ QUOTE ]

After playing an elec/elec blaster for so long, I tend to throw caution into the wind and run into the 15 purples anyway.

Open up with Thunderclap, and people generally get the idea where your 'brute' is heading

LOL, that's the best analogy I've read in a while.

Anyhoo.

Better make this clear.

I will fight Chives. On my own. With my blaster. When he hits 50.*

*may keep coming back like a bad smell with 'I swear this build will get you' respecs.

Up for it Chives?

NevAAAA, blastaz FTWinzorz!!111eleventy11one!!

No, happy with 'pvp-ing' with the blaster.*

*read; running around trying to activate flight within an inch of my life before getting annoyed with death rate in a puff up cheeks Kirby kind of way and suddenly becoming the tank.

Woo, go Blue. Gratz.
