Not sure I'd say this thread is dead, I'm (and probably therefore others) am still getting stuff out of it...
The PvP thing has been on my mind for a while. One of the reasons I love CoX is because of the relaxed friendly atmosphere. I also play Battlefield 2 which gives me a pretty good pvp fix. But I made my first nervous visit to Sirens Call about a week ago with a group doing a mission. While waiting for the guys to arrive at the mish (hovering above roofs) I got Assass Striked by a cloaked Stalker and fell to the deck managing to stumble into the mission and relative safety. This was actually quite exciting, warning the team (who I think ignored me - next guy came in half dead too) and forming an exit strategy for after the mish. But having seen what one cloaked Stalker can do and reading about others experiences (this thread in particular) I promptly went and made myself a Stalker with PvP in mind. He's only lvl3 or so, but it's so far a lot like a scrapper.

Anyway, now I've half a mind to delete him as there seem to be so many and its taking a lot of the fun of the game away from a lot of people. I enjoy the idea of playing WITH people, not just beating people. So should I delete him? Or turn him into the 'Honourable Villain'?

No, its Howling NightMoonWind, everyone knows that.

Lol! I just snorted coffee! At work! Damn you Mistwitch!!

Had my first run in with another player in a PvP zone a couple of nights ago - Bloody Bay, having just dinged 20. I found that the Villains that tried to have a go ( before I ran off!) were all cloaked! I fear too many people will have set up toons with PvP in mind - destroying my friendly flying En/En blaster before he knows whats hit him!!
(besides - got a party to go to unfortunately...how late do you think this will run??)

It reminds me of the signature of one of my SG friends (taken from an excellent, yet short lived series)

Mercy is the mark of a great man *stab*
Maybe I'm just a good man... *stab*
Well I'm okay..

Mal Reynolds rocks! I've seen a Mal based toon knocking around Galaxy park too...

Minions, holds and I somehow picked a nice little number called Howling Night/Moon/Wind or something - group rez, group en slow+minor damage. Handy when it all goes wrong!!

Agrred on the name, and now ont my opinion, a mastermind with no pets or "blasterminds" as they're also called

Don't worry - I know you meant Masterblasters!!

I was just thinking that. Playing last night I had a hard time keeping the blaster alive as he loved to rush in and aggro everything, but after the initial bloom the tank took the reigns. Between them, every now and then (over the cse of the evening) I'd have to use rez. Good to have for when you've been concentrating on a couple and someone else in the group gets separated and takes a pounding.
You're bang on the money! Thanks, was losing my faith there for a sec!!

gratz on the 1000!!

Good point - but then why bother with it at all? In fact I just asked myself a good question! Why bother with it when my whole idiom is to PREVENT death!! Is it just a handy to have then? Can't remember the choices I had when I chose it...

Resurrect, no slots


If you haven't installed the test server, do it now (instructions are on stickied post in Training Room forum on these boards), copy the character across a couple of times and try out the respecification on test before applying it on the live servers - you can see then how well you get on with it.

Excellent tip with the Training room , thanks! But why no slotting for Rez? I've just put my second recharge on it as its handy to be able to rez guys mid fight who drop? Am I using rez wrong?

Thats what I love about playing a defender! I'm trying to build mine as much around team healing and rezing as possible, and its great to be cruising through an area and firing off random heals at guys in street battles! I get a nicw warm glow!!! And no complaints about kill steals!!

Reading these forums at work - will hungrily join the channel at lunch time - food? no - CoX? YUP!!!

Good listing - have you got the same for Undead? Looks like an unpopular minion but thought it appropriate when making my toon - Rychor. He's only lvl 12 with 2 minions...

On a more pedantic note, wouldn't it have been nicer to call it Masterblasting instead of Blasterminding?!!

Using Enhance Minion on Undead gives their vomit a good deal of ranged damage...mines only lvl 12 and quite happy mixing it up.

Hi

I took these boys to lv20 in beta and had a hoot with them soloing orange and reds no problem but they did die alot and it took some hard work, but I never played the other MM's so this time round will go with bots or ninjas, can't decide probably both...sod it all of them then. Damn I'll never get to lv50

Heartening news! My lvl 12 MM is using undead and they're getting stronger and stronger. I'm a little worried that I may be neglecting some of the other powers, but the fact that once they die you can just bring em straight back is a definite plus point. If only they wouldn't run off and aggro all those other groups!!!
