You got my vote. As much as I enjoy PvP, there's still a lot of things that dumbfound me. How about a CoV PvP website, with guides on how to do FAQs? I can provide hosting space on my site (Digidark.net) if we need it. Just thought it'd be good to go along with the channel?

Claws has more damage? I was always under the impression that claws had the lowest damage output of them all, but in return had 20% less end cost and recharge than the others. From what I've heard spines is amazing in PvP, so if you're looking to do PvP, then spines is the way to go. As you say, toxic damage is about as resisted as Psi, so it'll be pretty effective. I dunno, I suppose it comes down to preference, try em both out and see which you prefer. I had a lvl 12 Claws Stalker, found the damage output too low compared to other sets so I made a Ninja Blade/Ninjitsu, with whom I dinged 40 not 20mins ago, and he's pretty amazing

Just like to bring to attention, my dinging of 40. Also gratz to Bru for dinging 40. Now, roll on I7 [censored]

God damn the game being down. I was pushing for LvL 39 today n evrything. Meh. Another half an hour I spose.

Ooooooh the patch server is back up. Maybe the games up.

Nope. Nevermind -_-'

We're all saying we don't need Stamina for a Stalker? I find this really pretty strange. If EM is anymore end heavy than my 38 Katana/Nin, then you're gonna need Stamina. If you plan on soloing, you will need to scrap at times. You can't AS all 3 enemies in a group ya know, and bosses take a bit of work. Now, if you're gonna be scrapping and the end is anything like my Kata/Nin, then you'll deffo need Stamina, god, my endurance struggles even with Stamina. I'd go for it. Everything needs Stamina really, with the exception of Kinetics or MMs.

I was hoping I wouldn't have to use it a lot but ok, I'll try and work up a new build of my own and post that later

In case you didn't notice (which it looks like you haven't) I've got Retsu in my build

Cool, I'll try it out on test when Issue 7 comes along. Any other suggestions?

Seems rather slow, how often can you attack with that build? What's the endurance like also???

That's kinda what I was struggling on, whether(sp?) to put end reducers in attacks or toggles, but putting it in attacks does seem more viable as a temporary solution. Anyone got a complete build they can show me?

*bumped* Reeeeeally need help with this one, anyone?

Although overall, EA sucks summat awful TBH. I've taken down EA Brutes as easy as I have Blasters, so I can only imagine Stalkers will be worse.

Hey. I recently respec'd my lvl 36 Stalker, and now I find him unplayable. Could anyone suggest an optimal build for my Ninja Blade/Ninjitsu Stalker? The build I respec'd into is below:

Is there anything I can do to that build in the way of adding slots or switching enhs about since I won't be respeccing till I7? I planned on putting two end reducers on the toggles at lvl 37, and then found it was very hard to even get there. So, anyone suggest an optimal build?

What, so as the leader of the villain team I don't even get a mention. I am shocked and appauled here LoL. But yeah everyone fought well on our side, then we re-arranged the team for the second round, didn't work out as well. Was a helluva lot of fun though, we gotta do it again sometime.

I notice the difference when they're held. Never noticed anything against a sleeping enemy though.

Well I need inf for the costume. Also, it's kind of a shame this topic is so dead LoL. But anyway. Bugger forgot what I was gonna say >.<

Right. Had an idea. I've seen all these attempts at making PvP VGs, and then it hit me. Why don't we make a VG where we all make our characters at the same time, with the ATs we need, and then get em to the right lvl, and do the respec into a PvP build. It's the best way to get a PvP VG going, and I reckon it'll work, but anyone involved would have to be serious. If you're interested post here, and Global Friend me (/gfriend @Kitetsu - works any time, wether Im on or not), and we'll work it out. We need at least 6 to start, preferably 8. This would be the main force, but obviously we can have more. LvLing through teams would be the best way (hence the 6 or 8), where we all start characters at the same time, then lvl them up roughly equally, without lagging too far ahead or behind of the rest. Should work, but like I say, people would need to be dedicated. I want to get my Stalker to 40 first (LvL 32 jus now), so after that we can begin. Anyone interested?

Well my LvL 50 Scrapper is DM/SR. I must say, it is rather good on groups due to Soul Drain, but if you mess up or get an unlucky shot from the likes of a boss, I'm afraid you're buggered. Good combo, very powerful, but wouldn't have the patience to get it up the lvls since ED and I5.

So it looks like I'm heading either Earth, Grav or Mind. Still can't decide on a secondary yet.

I'm actually pretty surprised nobody has suggested Grav as the best control, as after 32 you've got the pet doing holds, immobs etc, along with your own, so there's a lot of control. I would also think Mind is good, but its the lack of a pet that puts me off. Secondary I'm definately leaning towards Rad, Kin or Storm. Ice as a primary is just a definate no, I plain don't like the set.

Right, so I've been looking into making a controller for a long time, and I've made a couple, but they never seem to perform right, and I only ever get em to about lvl 12. I was wondering if anyone could gimme some hints on powerset combinations for the best under the following categories:

Most Dmg Output
Best Control
Lowest Endurance
Most Balanced

Any other hints or tips would be greatly appreciated.

take out some slots from Divine Avalanche and put them in soaring dragon

[/ QUOTE ]


That's gonna have to be a no. Slots are coming from somewhere to go into Soaring Dragon. I didn't stick to this build and am at lvl 26, I'll modify it to what I'm at now, may not all work right coz I'm doin it on the fly, but I'll try my best to fix it. Have a look

EDIT: Ok can't edit it. I'll re-do the build later and post that ^^

Gamblers Cut is probably the weakest attack of the ninja blade set, its not a must have so can be respec'd out in favour of something else.

Divine Avalanche - its recommended that you slot this for defbuffs and not dmg, the defence duff from it should stack well with your other defensive powers. Use it for this and not as a dmg attack. It doesn't deal alot of dmg anyway so you should rely on your other attacks for that.

[/ QUOTE ]

Regarding Divine Avalnche, I knew that already, god knows why I put damage in it. It's presently primarily a PvE build, but gonna respec around lvl 30 into PvP. I have gamblers cut as it makes a nice filler power

I suppose. Never notice the Whirlwind part, my bad ^^
