Luminos

I'd disagree with Homer_J on this; for PvP 'holds' are a matter of choice for a blaster.

You hit squishies hard enough that they are down in 3 or more punchs, and you can't hold anything which you can't take down in those precious punchs.

My PvP build is:

Pick the bones out of it all you wish, ive had over 900 hours worth of elec/elec blasting, and i feel that while the holds are nice, for PvP, this build is far more effective.

Well Luminos has soloed all of the Phalanx TFs (except Posi), but gratz I guess... Clicky.

[/ QUOTE ]

Thanks for the mention Okton!

Congratulations on the solo, once the next patch comes out and AV's are fixed, i suggest you give soloing a TF with an AV, it gives a serious rush and tremendous feeling of power

Gratz again, may this be the first of many more success's for you

All 'Bots' have innate Disorient, Hold, Sleep, Fear and Lethal Resistance.

How much though i couldnt say. Being innate its rather difficult to test

Im up for it: @Luminos

Me trade for influence xD

Other than that your out of luck, sorry

Stalkers don't like combat on large scales do they Icy? :P

Some says its great, some say it is [censored], anyone give a good description of what it does and a verdict as to whether its worth anything?

Ciao

14 points is a moot point, as it will affect different enemies in other ways

Depends on what you want to do entirely, Sonic/Energy is a nice melee Blasting build, good ranged attacks and strong melee.

However, if you want to just cause havoc & really enjoy see'ing lots of pretty orange numbers above enemies, go for Fire/Fire

Sorry, got mixed up with the name and the actual action:

And yes Kaya, unless the Stalker has Knockback protection, his/her AS will be interuppted.

AS cannot be slotted with Interruption Reduction Enhancements can it?

As far as i knew it was Auto-Hit

War Wall Defender me up! xD

I disagree Kronosy =/

While FoN is a fantastic power, there are others out there that can best it, i think the resistance on FoN is Mag1, thats 1 blaster hold it can resist (a troller hold is 3 times as powerfuland effective).

Pop a Breakfree? Sure, you could do that; but if Brutes were smart now before engaging a blaster they should pop 1, making toggle dropping impossible. Its all about balance & tactics.

The 'Epic' Power pools are rightfully called ancillary power pools - Relating to something that is added but is not essential.

As to what you said about FoN fitting all playstyles, i hardly think so, it suits the type of blaster that prefers to jump into the battle & really get stuck in without faceplanting in 2 hits. For Blasters that stay behind tanks, or use more trollerish powers it would be better suited to use Hibernate for example, as they could quickly recover and defend themself (think Rest with Unstoppable minus the attacks).

As someone has already said, by choosing Force Mastery, you are choosing Defence over Offence, ive had a concept Elec/Elec/Elec since i started the game, & ive always found EM Pulse, Shocking Bolt & in some situations Static Burst useful, Force Mastery just gives defence, where Elec for example gives practical mez attacks.

HI guys does the repulsion field disrupt the stalker assasin strike? Would be good to know before I get my free respec so I can decide if it is worth taking for recluses victory.
Cheers
Atreides

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes it does, if you want proof search the US boards for a post by Castle - Only works however if the stalker doesnt have -DEF vs Repel

[ QUOTE ]
Force

Suits AR/dev abit, since it has no 'element'. Making a device that creates the shields around you would be the RP reason, TI gives nice resist 22% slotted iirc.
PFF or repulsion field, i gues you know them. (havent tried repulsion in PvP, dont know if its any good).
Force of Nature, what to say, become a tanker for a while

So its either munitions or force i would say.

[/ QUOTE ]

For TI its 31.2% S/L

By my figures, for anyone interested (Damage resistance 3 slotted in both cases):


Temp Invunerability = 31.2% to S/L
Tough = 11.7% to S/L

Giving you a good 42.9% damage resistance to Smashing and Lethal, very appealing


(FoN if you want ridiculous numbers) = 54.6% to All except Psionic

Giving you a grand total of = 95.7 Damage resistance to S/L & 54.6% to everything else except psionic


Basically, a blaster can hit the damage resistance Cap for Smashing & Lethal.

42.9% resistance to S/L is good though, so yeah, if your looking to be a trend setter go for it, and watch those scrappers & tanks cry :P

Quick tid-bit, do the Synapse TF last, the Clockwork King AV on that is the hardest you'll find (due to your exemped level).

And don't bother trying to take Babbage, he regens faster than you can hurt him (or i could hurt him :P); but clean up after your mess & drag him to a police drone

Been there, done that Raz

The only Phalanx TF my Blaster hasnt soloed (AV and all) is Positron, because he doesnt have a travel power at that time :P

Will do it with the I7 respec.

Goodluck btw!

Hmm, if people are going to throw Hami-Os around for this, I might as well progress my arc up a bit then.

If anyone still wants this to happen after Kronos has finished his, I'll offer mine up at the same rate I suppose.

Shrug.

[/ QUOTE ]

I wasn't even bothered about the HOs tbh. (though any spare ones are obviously welcome! )
Would just be fun to have the villains there too as i've already done the arc with a previous toon

[/ QUOTE ]

yeh i mean at 50 all of your powers are enhanced with level 50++ or 53 and a hami, as far as i am aware are level 50 only

p.s correct me if i am wrong

[/ QUOTE ]

Indeed they ARE only lvl 50, however, they enhance 2 different aspecs, so hypothetically an attack slotted with Hami-O's is twice as effective as that of an attack slotted with SO'

[ QUOTE ]
Its going to be very tough to get zone co-operation , may have to wait until RV is not as busy or do it at obsure times. Saying that I'm so up for it I'm even leveling up a plant dom to help in the confusing

[/ QUOTE ]

Fear a Blaster that decides to lame you all, full defiance, BU & Aim, and Nuking around 1 small target could be disasterous.

Im up for the badges, but theres got to be some referee on both sides to prevent such situations occuring

That's right a nice, new, unused HO is on offer for someone with this contact.

I'm looking for mission number 9 in the arc which is 'Stop all Wildflower agents' and is in Founders Fall.

Some patience will be required as the reason I am after this mission is so we can spawn the AV ambush in a PvP zone, allowing villains to get the badge.

I'm also willing to chuck in some inf on Union CoH and if we do get the badge, I'm sure the villains I bring along for it will pool some inf for CoV in order to get this very hard badge.

The contact is a lvl 45+ one so if you are in that range, can get him and are willing to be a little patient while I arrange it, it will be VERY appreciated.

Post here or PM if you think you can help

[/ QUOTE ]

Im quite far into this Arc (not sure on the count of mission. But so far ive never seen Kronos or anything like it, so next time you see me on hook me up.

Btw, Crimson has 2 arcs i thought, 1 for 45+ and one for the 50's?

1) Wait for the next server maintanence
2) Log on immediatly after the server is up
3) Search the spawn points

And there you have it, insta badge :P

All GM's originally start as 'spawned' so if noone else has beaten you too it, you should find it

Though if you do, be kind and let others know, its so rare i don't even have it on my main
