Dominate needs to be slotted for HOLD, not damage, you're a controller after all


[/ QUOTE ]

I agree with you both on this actually. Your own setup with damages instead of hold durations is the way to go till your late teens then you should swap to 2 acc, 2 rech, 2 hold dur in it.

[/ QUOTE ]

I would go as far as to say mid - late 20s. When you start having other things that can replace the damage you switch else keep it slotting with a few damage, normally controller duration is long enough to actually slot for damage.

SR for range

EA for melee, this doesnt matter much but EA will give you access to bubblers in force bubble and a bit easier access to stormies. The TP resistance will help you get away.

Overall the secondaries are very very ballanced, what matters is what primary you choose.

It would have been good if our lvl 1 khelds managed to get a kill, but Im afraid we didnt even have enough damage to overcome his regen from integration and fasthealing. But we did knock a quite few toggles

Stalker:
You want either nrg / nrg or spines / sr. Most likely nrg / nrg cause then you can have a solution for bubbles without having a kin on the team.

MM I would prolly go merc / ff, those web granades are darn usefull. But it seems like bots are also good.

For brutes its nrg /*. Nrg primary is superior to ss in many ways. The secondary is very very hard to choose but I have a strange feeling nrg is good.

For Dom, I would suspect a fire / fire dom. Smoke is darn usefull with a team that relys on its team being invisable and the damage seems to be best from */fire. If this doesnt work its ice / nrg for the slows or mind / nrg for TK.


Well right now this would be my solution, I will know much more when I have actually played a couple of villains to lvl 40 or hopefully soon 50.

Now that I have played both blaster and stalker in PvP, I would say they are about even as damage dealers on good teams. If you just wanna destroy unprepared teams a blaster is much more suited cause he can keep laying alot of damage on the table over longer time, where as stalkers only have burst damage.
Against a good team where everyone strugles to get even 1 kill, a stalkers stealth will get him the kill if he works really well with a corruptores scourge. Making the two of them equal to about blaster + scrapper.


Right now the biggest problem villains have is that MMs are too squishie(because of low HP) for pentad matches.

Stacked RI might not, but 8*AM buffed corruptors throwing AoE's will

Believe me you will have problems with being alpha striked and mezzes. I have played in an all */rad corrs team and that was what caused teamwipes sometimes. You could go with 7 rad and 1 brute or like they said bring a couple of thermals.

Gratz!!! CM and Fort plz

What he basicly said was your lame cause you didnt just stand still with your toggles of and wait until you returned to the hospital. Some people just dont like loosing so they make up another rule set. Basicly the same tactic kids use.

Cause I pwnz0r everyone else

Fire / Kin is a PvE build, infact its so good at PvE I would never make a PvP build for it.

I would go fire / nrg, great for PvP great in PvE.

Throw in a spines / regen and you have my team to lvl 50 the last time. It took arround 162 hours including 20-30 hours of PvPing. Yes these guys level fast, once you get to lvl 20+ there is nothing stopping you guys.
Oh yeah we has a sonic defender too.

Test - Server

Speaking of best are we the only PvP sg out there? If we are how can anyone refuse our title based on us being the only one?

[ QUOTE ]

I wasn't going to include Thunderous Blast at all considering you said this was a pvp build, but I just couldn't bring myself to make a blaster build without the nuke power. Can take it out if you find a better power, you shouldn't have trouble modifying the build to find some slots.

[/ QUOTE ]

You really should include your nuke, believe me nukes have their uses in PvP. Anything that hits this hard has some use.

Did you even read my posts?, it isnt about being l33t or anything. But if you ask for help somewhere wouldnt you like getting good advice? If I havent seen people play and they dont post about builds how am I gonna know if they will offer good advice?. That why I said if the test server people recomends it since I dont know people on union.

Ice trollers dont count arch

If there is PvP Im there

[ QUOTE ]
I'll join a PvP chan, always happy to help out new players with a few binds such as "find a baddie then hit the numbers randomly and hope for the best" which of course is the ultimate PvP tactic.

[/ QUOTE ]

If you say so...

[ QUOTE ]
I no longer fight in pvp I retired a while ago but I still attend the fights and events regularly to offer help advice and tactics whenever I'm asked. I'd be glad to offer assistance if you need it but I'm afraid I have no way of proving my pvp credentials to you.
(We already have a channel on union for this mainly filled with our test server fighters and it works quite well and is great for setting up arena fights)

[/ QUOTE ]

Im sorry cherry Im so strickt in who get to be moderator, if you take a look at the boards you will see alot of whining and alot of bad advise. If this channel is to work, I think it would be to get really good advise everytime. But I have heard about you, so if some fellow unionites who goes to test server recomends you sure. Fx Im gonna include people from defiant who doesnt go there, but I know from personal experience that they know their stuff.

To tyl, I dont really have anything against you or anything, but this channel is for serious advise, so I cant really include someone who has half of his posts just going lolol. That would prolly scare off alot of newcommers if the moderators just well, oh you need advise lolol. Your welcome to join in and if your advice is solid and serious Ill include you later on.

I would expect questions like, what is the best way to slot my hold if I wanna do PvP. And I would like people that are pretty sure of their answers and have enough personal fight time to give good arguments on why their solution is the best slotting.

I thought about it, perhaps I should make a new post and have someone from the proof read it. Then see if I could get bridger to sticky it. This way it could opperate as a channel that people actually have a chance to see exists and people could join the channel when they need help and leave it when they received the help they needed.

So basicly Im looking for test server players, you guys have proven your self in combat and I know you are some of the best players on the eu servers. Reason I prefer test server players is that I have had the chance to see you guys in combat and therefor I have a chance to ensure the level of advice is high.

When I have arround 10 players signed up Ill make the channel and post and invite you guys to the channel as moderators.

Also I hope people who read the boards will tell people in sirens and warburg and so on that this channel exist, perhaps we can save a lot of people from the initial fustration of entering a PvPzone and getting absolutly destroyed. This could end with a higher level of PvP and more fun in the PvPzones

The moderators have to use it all the time, the rest can simply pop in when they need to have a question answered.

I thought about making a global channel for slotting advise on PvP

Basicly all the stuff.

Build Advice
Tactics
Team tactics

The way Ill operate it is how should I put it, the "proven" PvPers are moderators, that way if a moderator answers you have a good chance its a good respond. If we are arround 10-15 moderators there will be a great chance that there is allways people online for help.
This could help alot of people with their fustrations in PvP.

Fx if you have problems with a bubbler in PFF, perhaps we could give you some answers on how to take him down. If you have problems taking down a stormie, then perhaps we could give you some advice or even show you how to do it.
Or you need to figure some build choices out for your PvP build then we could give you some advice.

Would people be interested in having a channel like this and would you use it?
