Doesnt MA have toggle dropper ?

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't think so, its my understanding that its the secondary status effects that drop your toggles when (And if) they come into effect. Ive certainly never been toggle dropped by a Martial Arts Scrapper without an accompyaning Mez.

I could be wrong, so I'd like to hear from some MA PvP enthusiasts.

Anyone answer this?

Yep great fun and great team. Hope to team again

cool. Could one of you either post here or PM me your findings please. Save me testing it

Does TD deffo see stealth etc? Does it work aswell/better than tactics? If true i didnt know this and i have the leadership pool on my Ice/Dev blaster. Hmm then do i drop it for something else.... means putting an extra acc slot in my attacks then. Hmmm decisions, decisions....

Ice bolt does about 60% of the damage of Ice Blast, and recharges in half the time. Numerically that makes Ice Bolt superior - and it is the attack that will fill in the gaps around an Ice Blasters other attacks. so I would recommend slotting it up ASAP.

Deffo go with Snow storm. Im not 100% but i dont think you have a -fly with /energy. Snow storm can do this for you. Ice is the best single target blast. So blaster v blaster at range you should win being ice, combined with the slow of snow storm they dont have a chance.

Lvl 5 pentad teams might be fun and everyone would be able to enter then.

Gratz Neo.

AT LAST A ARENA EVENT!!!
Count me in with Dooms Day m8

Ill bring my scrapper lv 25/26 i think. cya monday at 8.00
Name masked skull

That might be a better idea. Maybe not lvl 1. Say lvl 12. Might get more taking part then. Say you got 50 blasters. spilt em into 5 groups of 10 and have 5 rumbles. top 2 of each rumble go into knock out stage which could be 1 Vs 1.

Would this be better?

could have scrapper tank etc then and not worry about draws.

Don't do single archetype tournaments. Controller fights, for example, usually come down to whoever gets the first hit/runs out of break-frees first.

Then what about 2 man teams made of a scrapper and a controller or even tank. Theres lots of ways we could do it.
I just think if we had something that only ran one afternoon/night it could be fun and wouldnt take up so much of everyone's time.

Thought this might happen with scrappers but what if you fought at a lower lvls? Maybe with less shields then.

Yea i can see the "no big insps" being a problem. Maybe if some one went in as a referee?

I for one enjoyed S4 and ive been thinking of other ways we could have these types's of arena events. The S4 type leauge was one idea played with but it dosent look as if its gonna happen as there,s to much work/time in it. Relying on other's and trying to set time/date,s etc can get messy.
So the idea ive come up with is a singles tournament. Blaster v blaster, Controller v controller etc. A single event for each hero type. This could be run over 1 day at the weekend(maybe 2)

What i think would work is.
1) a member/leader of the all blaster SG/ all scrapper SG etc would organize each event for there hero type.
2)A Day/time would be set sometime around christmas for the event.(while people's of work/school etc
3)Only if you can make the date/time can you enter. Enter by leaving your toons name on a reg. thread which could be posted in the PvP thread.
4)A few days/week before the event was due to start a table could be set up showing who's fighting who.
A
>winner of AvB
b
winner's fight ETC etc
c
>winner of CvD
d

5)As a rule i think only small insps should be allowed. I would want the winner to win with skill not because he had the time to get big one's.

6) If a hero dosent turn up / go's of line their opponant gets a bye.
7) Maybe we could gets prize's such as "Hardest scrapper on Union" in game or fourm names.

I dont think it would be to hard to sort out this way and these are just my idea's. Im sure if it went ahead whoever run it could come up with better ways. Anyway just thought i would make the post and see what the feed back is. Any of the P Ranger,s etc interseted in running someting like this?

Maybe if Defiant run the same type tournaments on the same day the winners could meet on test.

P.S sorry about the spelling, my wife went out and my 5 year old son wouldnt help me

Thanks for the invite guys and the badge Was great fun and a great team. I had a few problems with my computer slowing down, at one point i couldnt even move But that aside was great. If you see me in game and your doing a TF or Trail send me a tell. Again great team

My Ice/Dev blaster deals with these well. Only problem is stopping em running away. Use invis , Breek free, web granade to keep em grounded followed by catathings( cant spell Things the Tsoo throw on the ground stops you running away) Open up with your attacks from range. With hasten and recharge in my three attacks i can get about 6/7 shots in before aim run's out. Even without Aim the damage output is great. A brute asked me to try out my Trip mines on him. I layed 4 and they dropped everyone of his toggles in 1 go. And took about 60% of his health.

HI, tried this the other day and it worked great and just thought i would post about it.Proberly been thought of before but its new to me While doing dreck type missions i usualy find myself standing about waiting for the tank to herd 2 or 3 groups and then being a ice/dev blaster i usualy just kill the stray ones while other blaster hit with their AoE attacks. Now i ask the tank where its gonna lead em to and while its herding i lay 3 or 4 mines Then BOOM Some times a lone 1 sets it of but most of the time a big mob runs on to em and the damage is great. great fun to watch aswell

Thx for the info. I had a funny feeling you would answer this

Q1. if Aim (blaster ice set) was slotted with 3 acc buffs(SOs) would it A cut through hurricanes debuffs
B Rad acc debuffs
C Dark def acc debuffs
D Bubble dudes bubble
Q2. Does other invis powers(not from con. pool) drop Rad debuff toggles.

If say running 2acc SOs in attacks or 3 ToHit buffs in TD and 3 in tactics

Tanks= as above. Stone tanks forget about it

Blasters= these are the biggest problem. A blaster armed with a full tray of BFs will destroy you. only chance is to hope he dosent bring any BFs

Defenders. You will need invis to drop any Rad debuffs. Dark defenders i hear are very good but ive never fought one. Dont think you should have much bother with the rest.

Controllers.= Always a good fight and who ever gets the first kill often goes on to win it. Watch out for end drain.

What are you talking about? The people I'm LEAST afraid of are blasters, but that could be because I'm a /emp and as such have a pretty damn good self-heal. So they have break frees? You're a controller. BURN THROUGH THEM. Throw ALL the mezzes you have at them and forget the damage until they have obviously run out. Once this happens, start going wild and spamming lift and gravity distortion field. Then you'll see why you don't want propel.

Stone tanks? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, no more granite. If I can do it, so can you.

Defenders are easy, it's just a case of hoping your invis recharges as fast as their debuff will (with the exception of dark miasma's, who have their damn dark servant to kill as well).

Controller vs Controller fights are boring. It just comes down to whoever runs out of break frees first.

Oh, and you can use Lift to bring down fliers. If you want an immob for containment, do what I did and take Crushing Field. It's especially good in the open PvP zones because you'll have groups of enemies more than you'll be 1vs1.

If you keep propel, come to the arena on defiant (or warburg) and I'll SHOW you why you don't want it.

My post was for grav/storm controller. Yes an /emp might be a bit harder but i doubt it My two 50s are a grav/storm roller and a ice/dev blaster. And i know my roller would have no chance against my blaster. Tried a couple of arena match's tonight, my blaster against a grav/storm roller and they finished 8-2 and 8-1 in my blasters favour. I think a /emp would be harder but with my snow storm i think i could take you down before your heal recharges My COH test isnt working at the mo but once i get it fixed ill have ya a duel.

Think brawl has a 1 in 3 chance of dropping a toggle. But then fighting at low lvls tanks and scrappers dont ahve many toggles running so its worth a chance.

For a start dont drop propel Its one of the few attacks you have and does treble damage if your opponent is held in the arena. Also if fighting at a low lvl its the only good attack you have. As a stormy you need all your toggle droper powers (Thnunder clap, Worm hole, storm cloud etc) You also need to decide on either steamy mist or leadership pool= Tactics. Reason for this is for the confuse protection for you and your pet. I went for leadership as this allowed me to go with 1 acc instead of 2 in my attacks. The perception bonus from this is also great for pvp. Invis is also good to get early on. If your opponent dosent have tactics its good for getting the 1st attack in and any time your in trouble you just disappear and regroup. Your main problem as a stormy is your end. make sure you stick end reducers in most of your powers.
Crush if slotted right is good for 2 reasons. 1st it brings down flying foes and second does treble damage if opponent is held.

Scrappers= these guys hate stormys more than anyone else Only the ones with ranged attacks can hurt you. That said if you keep em close to your hurricane you can debuff there acc. (just watch but if they have FA epic power it will cut though your debuffs) Found this out to late in S4 final Good tactic is to find a corner. Use worm hole to put em in the corner. trap em in corner with hurricane. thunder clap to drop toggles, then hold and attack. Use snow storm at start of each fight also. slows attacks and regens

Tanks= as above. Stone tanks forget about it

Blasters= these are the biggest problem. A blaster armed with a full tray of BFs will destroy you. only chance is to hope he dosent bring any BFs

Defenders. You will need invis to drop any Rad debuffs. Dark defenders i hear are very good but ive never fought one. Dont think you should have much bother with the rest.

Controllers.= Always a good fight and who ever gets the first kill often goes on to win it. Watch out for end drain.

Slotting= Hurricane 3 acc debuffs 3 end redu
Thunder clap 3 recharge 1 acc 2 end redu( never used to need the 1 acc in this but think they changed it.)
snow storm 3 slow 3 end redu. your holds its good to have recharge in em as 3 or 4 holds breaks most hold resist.
The most important thing is to know your opponent.

Hope this helps you.

I have just made a Grav/Storm combo, was that a poor setup?

Aiming to make him a holder so the team i'm with can do there stuff.

Ive a Grav/storm and there great fun. Grav gives you great holds and your backed up by your pet hold wise. Storm is tricky but great fun. Some of the powers in the storm set can [censored] of your team mates so be carful. That said its great watching a scrapper chase after a foe being tossed about my your tornado

Yep was fun and i think two of us hit 50 on the way( I did anyway ) Great team and a bit to easy to be honest

Hi, think you have 8 already but anyone dos'nt make it send me a tell. Need this for my Blaster. Might even hit 50 while im at it will be on as Dooms Day.

Thx for the info guys. Im starting to fall in love with the Hibernate power in the ice pool. I mainly use it for getting my end/health back and its saved my [censored] a few times Im yet to do the 2nd and 3rd respec so im gonna have to try things out on the test server once i get my respec. More time spent not lvling Funny how with controllers / scrappers etc epics most go with the same pool, Its good to have a good selection with a blaster
