I like Defiance the way it is.

What about linking defiance to the end bar instead of health bar?. Im not saying I like this idea and to be honest I havnt even thought it through. Just thought at least it be easy to change

6 man teams.( can be hard to get every1 online at the same time sometimes. IMO 5/6 man teams can be found easy enough)

Test server. ( means people who have PvE builds can respec into PvP builds)( means friends from different SGs can make a new SG on test and take part)( means you get to beat on Defiant etc )

Type/length of match. This should depend on number of teams taking part. Leader of each team should have to PM Max or scotlands_bru with team name a week before event. after that you guys could decide on whats best. Either 2 small leagues with the winners meeting in the final or a knockout comp but like S4 where teams can be guaranteed 2 matchs.

ATs. Max of 2 the same works well. Might make it new/interesting if each team has to have at least 2 villains/heroes in it.

GL with this guys, hope it works out

Anyone got slotting advice for Singularity, Tornado and Lightning Storm please?

[/ QUOTE ]

Singularity
PvP 3dam 2 hold . same for PvE

Tornado
PvP 3dam 2rech 1end.( dosnt need def debuffs)
PvE you really only use it as a panic button and for AVs when in teams. If you solo alot then same slotting.

Lightning Storm
PvP. it needs 2 end red. after that go 3end drain or 3dam or 2dam 2 end. The end drain works well on small maps like the office and cage where people cant get out of range easy.
PvE. 2 end red if you dont team much so dont get end buffs. If you plan on teaming alot with empath, kins etc i would slot 3dam 2 recharge. The end drain for PvE isnt good as most things die fast and the end draining takes a while.

Good News, double xp is the following weekend . So the 20th good for you guys?

Did lightening cloud get buffed anytime over the last 6-8 months? The end drain seems alot better to me than it used to be. (I left the game for 6months)

Archys build looks close to perfect imo.

I reckon a stormie would beat most /sr easy enough.

Always have and always will slot 2acc. As said above 1acc and 3tohit in TD for devices is also good. People have always posted in the past that 1 acc is enough for PvE, will I tried it and imo it isnt. Most missions i do is against +2/+3s, 2acc is needd.

So, 20th or 21st? 20th be better as we get to pwn you guys sooner

Must admit i was really annoyed about how CD and smoke nade togeather didnt drop debuffs (snow storm ect)
IMO they should

Im only going by what i was told ive never tested it. I was told a while back it did stack from the same caster. Then I read on the US boards last week that it no longer stacks. But ive been reading these boards long enough to know not to believe everything I read

2) can be hellishly difficult to trap someone in in the first place.

Pre epic yes it can be but ive cold epic so its easy. snowstorm + web nade means they arnt moving fast anyway. After that you can trap them easy.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well thats one of the few possibly working combos that I can think of. Anyway, I'd be interested to duel /devs on defiant or test server to check them out. Cloaking device is pretty pointless in arena on its own however, and combined with smoke grenade the -percep lasts only a few seconds. (from my duels with Trix)

[/ QUOTE ]

Ill be at tomorrow nights arena event from about 8.30 if you would like a duel. Ill proberly be there as Bitter Ice but ill be happy to fetch my /dev for a few 1v1s

:0 I forgot I used to stack ID. Haven't PvP'd on my kinetic in half a year. Mostly its just speed boost that everyone wants. I don't think there are many Kinetics that stack ID on Union anyway. Not sure about empaths and other sonics, but clarity and shields are pretty standard.



[/ QUOTE ]

Think i read the dam res from ID no longer stacks from the same caster. The repel res etc still stacks but not the dam res. Can anyone confirm this?

/dev is amazing in Pvp. My 2nd 50 was a ice/dev called Dooms day. I mainly made him for dueling /em blasters as at the time /dev was laughed at and /em was thought the best. The control and slows /dev gives is amazing and ive had great suscess with it. /dev gives you the ability to stay at range and ice pwns most things from range. Great fun to play

Regen is better, cause SR needs support.

[/ QUOTE ]

exactly. a solo regen is very hard to kill, a solo SR is easy to kill. a SR with support becomes good. a regen with support becomes immortal

[/ QUOTE ]

LOL well put X

[ QUOTE ]
I think we should ask someone who plays a sr in the arena what they think. Imag and globey maybe?

[/ QUOTE ]

While in the US we used a spines/sr in pentad matchs.

Sr is squishy without a sonic in the arena. Even if the sr has fort, i would only attack a sr with aim and build up and i could 3 hit the sr if i get lucky while a regen takes a lot more effort to take down.

[/ QUOTE ]
As pointed out all of 14 posts away by Stalk, a good SR will run when he/she hears the telltale Aim/Build Up noises. By your own admission, you'll only attack an SR when you have Aim and Build Up; you can attack a Regen at any time however, and expect to lay damage in. I know my Regen feels much more squishy than my SR, but fewer people choose to take on my Regen in pretty much all PvP scenarios - bizarre.

[/ QUOTE ]

I dont find it bizare at all. People dont attack regens at all because they harder to kill. In a team match you cant always know what everyone is planing or what buffs their oppontants have on. Blasters dont take a chance of wasting Pb aim and BU on a regen as they dont always know if the regen has DP up. As far as fort goes a blaster will always get fort in a team and can still hit a forted SR. As far as running away goes squishys spend the whole of a match running away from damage dealers and still manage to die. Usualy when a blaster has aim and BU up. Scrappers tend to be chasing squishys in team matchs so cant always see when the the blaster is hitting his self buffs and when the attack is coming. I agree with psydock, SR needs a sonic.

Depends on what type of PvP you want to do. In general regen is best imo. I play Blaster alot in team PvP and I look at a /sr scrapper as just another squishy tbh. Regen i wouldnt dream of attacking. Only benifits SR has in team PvP is the slow res(dosnt need Sb buff) and they harder to taunt.

Tested it last night and it works great. Even the animation drops, was able to self heal. Just a pitty the duration of this power is so short in the arena.

Pentad has its good points and bad. It does limit the players to 5 a team which isnt good for the bigger SGs looking to PvP togeather as a SG. However it also helps to encourage the use of the 5 main ATs which most of you will have noticed didnt happen in the US. Scappers and to a lesser degree tanks are over looked as SGs go for the perfect team. Im sure this isnt the way the PvP community want to see PvP head over here in the EU." No Mr scrapper you cant join us as we dont use your AT in PvP".

That said ill fight any, pentad or 6 man but cant be online till 8.30 at the weekends.

If a grav controller has rad debuffs/ snow storm or the like on them and puts the caster in Dimension shift can they use heal self without being interrupted? They as in the Grav controller. PreThanx if anyone knows, save me testing it

TBH both suck I play on Union meself and you can always get a duel any night of the week if thats your thing. As far as team PvP goes the main PvP SGs on each server cant get a match on their own server so have to meet each other on test. You will always get part-time PvP SGs playing arena but this is more a closed shop sort of thing. The zones on Union can be fun but I find it always hero heavy.

The above is my view, dosnt mean its right

Thank you Flash for a great night, most fun ive had in ages.
The FFa at 50 was great fun as near everyone brought a squishy, apart from globey but his tank got ganked( )

If im ment to get influ for winning the the level 11 thing please give it to Psydock (the nOOb) so he can buy a new brain. Who arranges a team for a 4v4 and dos'nt turn up???

Any way was fun, looking forward to next week

Its on test so give them their winnings on test
