Assuming I can make the raid, I'd like to volunteer to help SB the PA droppers - Have a kin with Fly, and I suspect that'll be more use than yet another empath!

Cool and ta Wilf

Back in the day when there was no limit on AoEs TK was superb, now its situational at best in PvE. In PvP its still quite good.

Fire / Fire dominators rule. I think a regen scrapper I fought in RV-event was pretty suprised when I held and killed him in less than 10 secs.

Their damage output in Warburg and RV is simply fantastic and this is the build I would make if I could be bothered to level a villain for PvP. The reason I prefer fire as primary is cause they have the best damage and the awesome smoke which is IMO one of the best crowdcontrol power if your trying to take on multible foes.

Arena build or Zone build? 1 on 1 arena or team arena. Or watered down bit of everything?

These are IMO the powers to get for an allround build

01) --> Ice Blast==> Empty(1)
01) --> Power Thrust==> Empty(1)
02) --> Ice Bolt==> Empty(2)
04) --> Energy Punch==> Empty(4)
06) --> Build Up==> Empty(6)
08) --> Hasten==> Empty(8)
10) --> Bone Smasher==> Empty(10)
12) --> Aim==> Empty(12)
14) --> Super Speed==> Empty(14)
16) --> Hurdle==> Empty(16)
18) --> Bitter Ice Blast==> Empty(18)
20) --> Health==> Empty(20)
22) --> Stamina==> Empty(22)
24) --> Combat Jumping==> Empty(24)
26) --> Aid Other==> Empty(26)
28) --> Aid Self==> Empty(28)
30) --> Freeze Ray==> Empty(30)
32) --> Super Jump==> Empty(32)
35) --> Acrobatics==> Empty(35)
38) --> Total Focus==> Empty(38)

44) --> Charged Armor==> Empty(44)
47) --> Power Boost==> Empty(47)
49) --> Boost Range==> Empty(49)

Slotting is quite easy and when to get them depends what zones you want to consentrate on. Team based and you can leave out med pool and go for something else like force mastery and conserve power. I dont really recomend stealth since the main strenght of ice/nrg over fx. elec / nrg is that it can keep laying high damage by having the best ranged chain in the game.
Another thing is if you plan on using this build in PvP you have to learn to constantly keep your ranged attacks in jumps. If you dont know what I mean send one of the PDs a tell in game and Ill log CoH and show you. Or send captain skyfire a tell I heard he is getting quite good at it

/dark is underrated imo. One of the most difficult to kill villains I've met at pvp zones is Lady Fuya who is an /dark brute.


[/ QUOTE ]

Psst buy those web granades. When the lady isnt jumping all over the place its quite easy getting a dark brute down.

The name of this game is hold Hamidon or we loose. The indicator that Hamidon is held is if he stops shooting at the tank.

[/ QUOTE ]

Not true anymore, remember one of the last patches? He has an attack he can use while held now (frickin' laser beams...) Dunno if it's a case of the attack being weaker, or something, so there may still be some visual cue for successful holds, but the tank WILL be getting hit.

[/ QUOTE ]

Its a case of xanthus being a lazy *******. We allready know this and the tank knows it. We will be using plights awesome tesla cage as indicator or some other elec.

Nah its just controllers that are overpowered in the hands of a good player.

fire / dark

1) Slotting holds depends on AT.

Trollers and Doms have high duration hold, so they can use recharge for stacking. Other ATs can only really stack unless they have more than 1 hold.

Slotting for controllers

There are generally 3 ways people slot single target holds:
2 acc / 3 hold / 1 recharge
Good for PvE
2 acc / 2 hold / 2 recharge
Most efficient
2 acc / 1 hold / 3 recharge
Fastest stacking

The thing is you in PvP you need to stack as many holds as posible cause they each carry mag.
Over long time of stacking 231 is the same as 213, however for the higher end cost 213 will get you there much faster and it will therefor force the use of a break free sooner.

2/2/2 is a split between them that has alot going for it cause of ED.

Slotting for everyone else in PvP

2 acc and what ever you have spare into hold duration and end. The OT was correct in his slotting IMO, but could prolly loose a hold dur if he needs the slot elsewhere.

Just do it with rated, its by far the best system IMO.

Im out too, the rules thingy. Ill sign up if the rules are set to rated matches or something very close.

I've had my SR at 50 for a long time now, and I can tell you that up untill about a month ago, the standard response for beating someone with an SR was "Holy [censored]!"

SR hasn't been considered useless in PvP since I5, but only recently has it been considered an equivalent to Regen.

[/ QUOTE ]

Not by the "pros", do a search for old pentad builds suggestions see most peoples scrapper pick. It has been good since i6 acc nerf in Pvp and people have been saying so.

[ QUOTE ]

SR has always been considered second best to Regen in PvP, however, this is simply not the case.

[/ QUOTE ]

Its been along time since people thought SR wasnt up for it.

Regen and SR with Aid self are about even in surviability. It really depends on what you are fighting, primary and what kind of PvP. DA does increadible well in PvPzones cause alot of people think its "stupid" bringing BFs.

sad day indeed very sorry some of your team doesnt turn up anymore, thanks alot for starting this, organising fights and being such a pleasure to fight against you taught us a lot about pvp was gr8 fun tonight, will c every1 else next week hopefully for pentad

[/ QUOTE ]

/Signed a sad day indeed.

Huurl it would be awesome if we one night could get all the test server together and exchange war stories if not wish all your guys GL luck in the future, it has certaintly been a pleasure meeting you.

[ QUOTE ]
You can never have a "gimped" controller combo. Controllers don't have any "bad" PvP powersets.

[/ QUOTE ]

True IMO

[ QUOTE ]
Yeah, the same is true of scrapper primaries.

[/ QUOTE ]

False IMO, Katana, Claws and DM arent that good for arena PVP.

Spines / SR / Body
Rad / Psi / Psi
Ice / dev / Force
Invul / nrg / Body
Ill / emp / Force

Other reason to make a rad is the toggle drop nerf, this means that rad defenders can rival blaster in terms of damage and have good surviability. And you really need rads in team PvP now to tag people, sending a good buffed blaster off isnt enough to kill the emps anymore. So rad is getting back on my favourit pentad team, thats cool .

And to remind people that controllers have other options than holds.

[/ QUOTE ]

Agree. Illusion does need it for PvE (or at least, it helps a lot) but other primaries (e.g. Fire) can even skip their AoE hold.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well illusion has other tricks going for them in terms of aggro control. PA is uber, last longer than holds and the combo PA + Spectral terror is just as good as a hold. The problem with illusion isnt control its ways to get containment.

[ QUOTE ]
Yeh, they do obscene amounts of damage.

From my experience, as a helpless Inv/SS Tanker against a Fire/FF Controller, those are pretty much tankmages.

[/ QUOTE ]

Hey your atleast invul meaning you can get through ff, try being without and melee.

They do 3x times the damage[to a target that is mezzed(sleeps, immobs, holds, stuns) and the reason all PvP trollers should take their single target epic blast. And the reason the fire epic is really awesome for PvP.

Because of 3* damage I have been 1 hit killed on my blaster by a controller.

The best way to get containment is through immobs cause you can stack them faster, but in your case holds will work too. Since your a tad squishie Omega you might wanna put 1 range in your hold and use tk. This should give you a ranged advantage without having them fight back unless they use 4 BFs(might be different since they changed them in the I7 release). Besides that start chipping away, it will take a long time since you dont have damage buffs.

If I Can Could I Be A Sub PLz???

*fingers crossed*

[/ QUOTE ]

If you SHOW up it not hard getting a spot where you can sub.

Doesnt work

Um you do know its not the -regen that really matters, enervation field is the reason why rads cut through AVs. In effect you are giving your entire team fortitude as long as you keep it on those suckers. LR is only really important in small teams or against AV with crazy regen like dominatrix. Its quite easy for 1 person to keep the regen down afaik. Same with kinetic, the secret isnt really the -regen(again allthou it helps, by freeing up more resources) its fulcrum shift and siphon power that gets the job done.

Ill show up, but I wont drop PAs unless you really need me to. I need to be on the ground again to think of ways to speed up the raid.

What I think Lui was saying, normally I dont understand a word but Ill give it a try:

He suggested you use the superior coh builder:

Silver sherks builder
