Frozen_Rogue

Well, with Rogue Hitting 50 tonight I've decided to completely streamline his build towards PvP.

The thing is though, things have changed a fair bit since I was last big on PvP - with all this + perception, invis doesn't seem so much a legitimate option, so I'm thinking about loosing that for the medicine pool. Since this is mainly for the arena, breakfrees are rife, so I'm thinking about dropping the electric epic and taking Ice. I've seen how slows can cripple and would be intrigued to see what they can do. To that end, I've got fly and boost range in there so that these three powers should mean I can control the fight from range if need be.

Is this viable? Freeze Ray cycles so fast that I can break through acro with it, but Ibe better of just trying to make them bunch BFs?

My problem with Ice/energy is how close range it has to be, which is why I'm quite partial to the snowstorm idea. But I could do with the opinions of those in the know! Any other comments would be greatly appreciated to!

Thanks in advance guys!

Hey Guys and Gals,

Tomorrow night at 8.30 PM the following 6 Precision Rangers will fighting Tyrant together for a simaultaneous Level 50 ding and all who know of the guys involved are welsome to join in! We are going to try and put as many teams into the mission as it takes to get all our friends in, and as between us we know alot of you it may take a while! But we don't mind!

The guys taking part are:

Frozen Rogue
PowerSWAT (Drain Brain)
Terra Byte
Chillblaze
Cinnamon Brandy (Toerag)
Stainless Steel (Roentgen Storm

It's all of our first 50s so we're really looking foward to it! We're meeting at Portal corps at the aforementioned time and will stick around until we're bored with mucking about with squids!

So like I said, any and all who are interested are welcome!

Hope to see you there!


Frogue

Ubergratz duder! And don't worry! I understand, atleast!

One thing that might be worht mentioning to get around Mexz protection is that 'Stun' from EM will stack. TOtal focus also has a high chance to stun. It should certainly go along way to breakin mez protection, if you can get pass the animation times, but luckily the EM attacks allow you to fly/SS past and launch the attack from a short distance if you have it queued.

all attacks (appart from interuptables) can be used in 'kiting' but a ranged (60ft) mag 3 stun is awesome and doesnt need stacking.

Even to get through non-squishie mez protecton?

If so, that's my poor knowledge shining through! And apologies for the appauling typing in the above post...

I was wondering, is there any Stalker builds that function particulary well, well enough to be referred to as a PvE Machine, orare they best just left alone unless I want to PvP? (Which I don't, I wanna revel in the untouched content! In style, preferably )

I'd love to be involved, but sundays are hard for me. WIll keep an eye on things incase it changes!

I'd like in on this, but I'd have to roll a new character: Been looking for away to getinto villains for ages, and teaming with new people is a nice bonus!

I'm currently thinking about a fire/ice but don't hold me to it!

Sounds like a proper Blaster...

He is! He just has one problem.. He's a Deviant...

Kinda of a shame really.. He'd be ruling the Rangers by now other wise!

[/ QUOTE ]

Well there's always the possibility of server character transfers in I8...

So, are we gonna fill this with random shizzle about our daily lives like the good old days, or are we beyond that now

Congratulations!!! Hope you don't regret it

Cool, would love to be in on this. I have a 10 spines/nin on union, but I can always mal down.

I've been thinking exactly the same recnetly and am also mad keen on this.

Thinking about the bigger picture, it seems to me that the differences in the sets will have to comoe out more in anall stalker team. This is what I mean:

Energy: The hardest hitter and very singler target. Will make a good scrapper on bosses as it can do a lot of damage iwth less shots.

Claws: Short animations so a higher DPSS. Will work well with scrapping the minions as it can throw out the damage fast, where as it would get hel up by bosses. ALso has focus to follow up on running minions.

Dark: Debuffs, with lots of nice tricks to help it stay alive. Could work by debuffing lots of minions or tanking bosses (kinda )

MA: Lots of little tricks, including good capability at messing the mobs. Another very scrappy one.

Ninja blade: off hand I can't remember if it has divine avalanche... and I don't know that much about it anyway!

Spines: The set that intrigues me the most. It has 3 AoEs, so when slotted with SOs will be able to crit multiple mobs with one, then placate a leut and take it out with assasin stirke (or something ) and then mop up.

Well it's just some thoughts. THis was quite rushed as I have work now but soething I'd really like to get involved with! So want the spines!

Since you mentioned PvP Chap, if you went SR and left out the toggles, you'd be losing the + perception from focus senses, meaning that your much more vunerable to stalker hunter builds like */devices blasters (With cloaking device, targeting drone and tactics they're going to be a pain to get first). It's a cool idea though.

If you don't stay in contact I will hunt you down...

Take care bud. You'll be sorely missed and my PM box will be much more empty Look after yourself and stay in touch.

Fine by me.

And liking the look of 11 vs 12 as well. And lucky Far Seer. WELL wanted that with my 1 life!

Team 4 and 10: Mondays and wednesdays are tough for me and sunday is a no go, but any other day is all good. i can do wednesday after 8.30 and monday after 9.30, but if there's a time difference for some of you you'd probably appreciate an earliar time Let me know what you guys can do

*Cough* 720 hours to ding *Cough*

Uber gratz bud!

Yup

Am I right in thinking the new draws are today? I refuse to go out as early as possible!

Were there any shock results in round 1?

Uber gratz all round! Nice one!

Am I the first to notice the change that Aeronaut made to that list...

Take care dude, all the best in everything that you do!

I'm looking foward to this stupidly badly! Good luck guys!

It sucks and I'll miss his sotries and crazy ideas. And if he doesn't keep in touch, I'll shoot him.
