Don't know if you lot have seen this yet.

US theme teams seem to go about things in a somewhat different way to what I've seen of similar things over here. (read the thread from the beginning)

[/ QUOTE ]

Seen that a wee while ago, although I haven't read it all from the beginning (read the 1st post though).

Anywho, I'm full of the flu today so I'll try and be around for a while but it depends how better or worse I get

[ QUOTE ]
Was my reason likewise.. sadly cool looking dont go well with being effective

[/ QUOTE ]

It worked for the Fonz.

Hmm new "greaser" pets please!

[ QUOTE ]
At all costs, dont pick Mercs

[/ QUOTE ]

I have a merc MM cos he looks cool

Welcome to Union :O)
Not sure where all the RP goes on, I've seen some people hanging out in PD every now and then though.

Looking at that thread Zombies and Ninja seem other peoples choices for PvP

[/ QUOTE ]

Thats just Ninja Noddy's influence on people

Yay!

I have one and its pretty groovy, fun to see your caltrops doing more little numbers after firing howl on a group. I think you will want to plan to take stamina, or slot some end reds somewhere, I find I'm running out of end at every mob. That might be down to me spamming web grenade though.

Really surprised no one has mentioned traps on a MM yet. OK, I wouldn't rate it as the "best" overall, but certainly one of the best MM sets for pvp.

Wasn't the brute fury bug triggered by a patron power? In which case its a bit of a smaller bug anyway. Although both bugs are/were insignificant as far as pve goes.

I think mind/fire is maybe just a little bit more suitable for what you're looking for. Most of /fire's AoE's need you to be in melee range anyway, but you get them earlier along with fire breath.

The only other build I would consider is plant fire, since you get seeds of confusion at lvl 8. You can use that to bunch the enemies up nice and close for your cones and area attacks. Not sure if plant fits your mental theme though.

Personally I wouldn't take this on dom (ok for a stalker or corruptor). I wouldn't take any patron other than scirrocco on a dom though.

[/ QUOTE ]

Sadly there's not much i can do about that now. I know for my next dom, which i'm thinking will be the fotm plant/psi

[/ QUOTE ]

I wouldn't feel too bad about it. I have water spout on my mind/psi and love it, one of the best patron powers there is IMO.

[ QUOTE ]
How do i play my dominator?

Well

I GRAB IT BY THE LEGS, AND SWING IT FURIOUSLY AT THE ENEMYS

It generally works quite well

[/ QUOTE ]

Reminds me of the fool stalker who insisted the team rush an annual CoT convention, then kicked the dom for suggesting that pulling might have been a better idea. Thankfully the stalker was the only one dumb enough to follow his own "plan", so we all had a good laugh at his expense.

Die in 5 seconds to what? The only spike damage villain side is melee.

[/ QUOTE ]

To the selfsame blasters.

[/ QUOTE ]

Oh, I was thinking faction PVP. Surely if the same blasters are similarly changed, then blaster vs blaster is as balanced as before?

[ QUOTE ]
But this will make blasters weaker against characters against whom blasters were weakest already..

[/ QUOTE ]

I'd wait and see. I don't think blasters should be able to shred everything else at range anyway.

EDIT:
[ QUOTE ]
Yet people blasters could kill in 5 seconds
before will still die in 5 seconds.

[ QUOTE ]
How did you figure it out them making more damage than before? TBH I was afraid of this ever since the talk about new defiance.. As if it was an excuse to nerf them in some other department. 1v1 will be even more impossible now. And team pvp just plain sucks.

[/ QUOTE ]

The overall damage was increased though, and not everyone has resistances.

[ QUOTE ]
I see no reason why this would enhance my gaming experience.

[/ QUOTE ]

Less players thinking "sod this! I'm fed up dying 5 seconds into the fight to flippin blaster!."

I'm still waiting to see how it goes. I wouldn't say villains trump heroes for unresisted damage though.

[ QUOTE ]
Always moving or else I'm dead! That's the Dominator Way!...like a shark or something!

[/ QUOTE ]

Or 2 ferrets wrestling in a paid of bloomers.

I have combustion on my plant/fire and like it. With fiery embrace, combustion and consume, its like a little nuke.

Except Siren's which shows the bounty. The taste of Paradise. Mmmm Bounty.

As long as they aren't RPing on top of the cranes, which I came across today

[ QUOTE ]
I know a few in my sg alone

[/ QUOTE ]

Then tell them to do something useful! Like ID'ing my MM

I cant remember the last time I seen a kin red side, pvp or otherwise :S

[ QUOTE ]
Huh? Scrappers overpowered in pvp? imo its the most underpowered AT hero side khelds aside

[/ QUOTE ]

He didn't say they were overpowered, he said they were supah-stwong. Totally different thing altogether.

I see what you mean. I prefer to play combinations which aren't possible the other way around (no dark/dark, sonic/rad's etc). I hate thinking "this is fun, but on a defender I would be a lot more uber with my damaging secondary powerset".

[ QUOTE ]
Any AT gaining exclusive rights would be deemed unfair, overpowered and anything else jealous eyes want to come up with

[/ QUOTE ]

You mean like "but in that movie the scrapper type character uses pistols!"

oh and, lo there!

The OP does have a point. Maybe its time corruptors had a blast set exclusive to them.

Didnt get back on till 11ish :O(
Just managed a wee play in SC before bedtime.
