Yes you can. I have done so for a while now with no problems

My thoughts

freezing rain. 3 recharge, 2 defence debuffs ,1 slow. Its a great opener to a fight as u can hide round a corner and still use it. great with snow storm as already said.

Snow storm. 3 slow and 2 end red. This power is a must for PvP. what most people dont realise is that in PvP it stops all powers that can be interupted. blasters snipe heal self etc. it rocks I have it with my ice blaster and its great fun watching people try use heal self and snipe.

thunder clap. 1 acc, 2 recharge , 2 stun. Yes its great in PvP ,its a must in PvE aswell. Will stun all minions in Aoe.
Can be risky to use as it means you getting in the middle of things. But if u use freezing rain first it lets you use tthunder clap with ease.

Im drunk at the mo aswell.... so when we fighting?

So I'm a bit drunk right now, but still, I've never been beated one on one in the arena and if you think you're the person to do it send a challenge this way. Anyone that beats me gets at least 1 mil inf so let the smack talk begin. Nad

LOL. the online equivalent of a drunk guy staggering out the pub and challenging everyone to fight while he zig zags his way home.

Really enjoyed tonight, we need to get more Arena battles organised on Union...maybe even a 16 v 16 (or more!)

[/ QUOTE ]

Would be good to get a night organised on test for the arena. Attempts have been made on Union for an arena night and failed. Between the two servers im sure we could get a night sorted. Anyone want to get one sorted?

[/ QUOTE ]

The last one was alright (8 vs 8). Would have been alot more if the character copy tool was working.

[/ QUOTE ]

SO whens the next one Max?

Cant beleive your going m8 Good luck anyway with whatever you do and i hope you come back soon. Would love to team up before you go. Ive dreck and a few other AVs that i know would want to face plant you one last time before you go Anyway try get a night arranged with max and a few others and ill do my best to be there. cya soon.

Ive never found a need to slot my sing with acc. They seem to have very high acc without slotting.

Wouldnt mind coming along myself. im sure the rest of us could make a 3rd team between us. Im having some computer problems but hope to be there.

Hi. I cant make this but would would like to recommend team speak for this, it helps alot. even if only a few have a mic the rest can still listen. I failed this trail the 1st few times i done it but got it done in the end with team speak. Only takes one person to not be sure what they are doing to mess it up for the rest. Hope this helps and good luck

Hi, Bitter Ice lvl 35/6 blaster reporting for duty. cya at 9.00

I could still see the usefulness in Smoke Grenade with it's -Perception - but for one small problem... even with CD on, by the time you're close enough to use it, the enemy can still see you even after you've used it. >_>

If it worked like Arachnos Night Widow's SG - which confused the hell out of me the first time I saw it used (or didn't see, as it happens ) - I'd have it back in a flash. As it stands... little to no point in having it in a PvP situation, for my $.02.

Yea it would be great if smoke nade worked like a stalkers plactate. Use it and you turn invis for 20 seconds or untill you attack. Then again it would be great if you could shorten the time it takes to lay mines. It would be great if we got our toggle droppers sooner etc etc
I think the Devices set stands out from the other sets but i think alot could be done to help it in PvP. Stun should be a toggle dropper for a start. TD combined with tactics is a big bonus letting you become a stalkers stalker. It also frees up a lot of slots in your attacks letting you slot extra EndRed and Recharge. And then combined with ice you can do what a blasters ment to do, Kill from range All that said we stand little to no chance against tanks and scrappers. Some people are into telemining but IMO anyone and gives you time to lay mines in the arena needs their heads seen to. And with more and more taking tactics to deal with stalkers I would say tele minings days are numberd.

thought so , thx

Can anyone do the numbers work here for me or tell me if its worth while. Lets say im fighting a controller with 2 acc SOs in their powers. IF my blaster had Cloaking device slotted with 3 Defbuffs(all SOs) + maneuvers slotted with 6 DefBuffs. And I hit the controller with smoke nade slotted with 3 acc Debuffs. What would the controllers chance of hitting my blaster be? I know the defBuffs arnt much on their own but combined with the smoke nade do you think it would be worthwhile? Ive the cold epic armour for different reason's I wont go into so any extra defence would be nice as the armour sucks.

As far as I've understood Blasters are the AT that gets the smallest perception bonus from Tactics, and they are also the squishiest AT which means most stalkers can get by undetected combined with one-hit-kill almost every time AS hits. This in my opinion is brutally unfair, but the stalker-population (which outnumber me on this board 7 to 1) disagrees.

[/ QUOTE ]

My blaster has tactics and TD(devices) and I can see any stalker

Ok trying to move away from stalker How would people feel about ? Single target heals and buffs from defenders corrupters etc Back fireing(for want of a better word) while taunted by brutes and tank. = Empath trys to heal scrapper but is taunted by brute, instead heals brute. It would make the timeing of heals and taunt more important and maybe more skill based

[ QUOTE ]

As for the entire stalker hide/detect deal, perception bonuses could perhaps only be applied to a cone of vision in front of a person, meaning that even stalkers who would otherwise find themselves constantly detected, actually have a chance of getting a hit in by actual skill, and not just stat-weaving At the same time, it would be nice if even a strongly hidden opponent could be revealed, if they were stared at for long enough in the open. It does seem a bit overkill to literally bounce off them as you walk, and not reveal them, but its just so hard to think of a way to balance it out..

The stalker hide/detection deal seems to be the thing that needs the most work right now, and to be honest I just dont enjoy trying to raise stalkers because of how its completely skillless for the actual stalking part, especially in PVE. Although its handy in PVE, in PVP the assassin strike should only apply at melee range. Its not funny to see the echoing outline of a stalker winding up to AS you, but still hit you even though you've gotten about 100 meters away from them, that definately needs a fix :P

What about creating areas on the maps where the speed of hiding is increased (dark shadow) and areas where hiding is slowed or prevented (light areas or heavily illuminated, featureless rooms). If thats too much work for them to put into existing maps, they could just set that during the night, hide kicks in faster, and in day, it doesnt? I dont know, im just throwing ideas out here..

[/ QUOTE ]

Some Great idea's. I dont even think most stalker's would be to unhappy with most of these changes. Most of your idea's ask for greater skill from the player without taking to much away from the stalker

After reading alot of comment's about PvP i see alot of people see PvP as a numbers game and not much skill involved. Personally I think of it as a mix of skill and numbers. So my Question is What could be done to make PvP more skill based?

One thing springs to mind for me. I think they could change how targeting works. I dont think it's right that once targeted, your opponant can run behind a building and stay targeted. Once out of sight i think you should have to retarget him. Thus making movement move skill based. I dont think it should drop Rad debuffs for example just mean you need to retarget. if someone runs behind a building and out of sight, you shouldnt know what side of the building he is gonna come out from. It would encourage better use of the map. Anyone else any ideas?

When's the next one? I switched form dooms day to lady white and most of Defiant had vanished
