I'd say the corruptor would be the easier out of the 2, doms have a pretty steep learning curve in pvp and benefit from all the slots they can get there mits on. I like my dom though so I tend to use that over my corruptor. At the end of the day I guess its whats the most fun for you. For dom pvp builds its nice to get something with debuffs on the attacks. The -recharge in ice and psi help while your stacking holds, especially with another dom or corruptor around. Accrobatics is also well worth picking up.

so far so good then :O)

Ok. Unless anyone cant make make it regularly on wednesday we'l meet up in mercy at 6.45 uk time on union server. If thats a bad time for people post it up asap.

Bah looks like I'm already out of the running

[/ QUOTE ]

Why?

[/ QUOTE ]

Full team already ...

[/ QUOTE ]

Echo has offered to sit it out if need be cos they'r part of the other dom team, but can always run 2 teams anyway.

[ QUOTE ]
could be cool to beginning to set up things like definitive server for exemple ^^

or the set your's going to play or the level to begin

[/ QUOTE ]

Unless someone objects it looks like we'l be doing this on union. I'll probably either remake my grav/thorn or try a fire/fire. Once I reach lvl 12 I might then start to play my ice/ice on the team instead.

and maybe have a monthly super session at the weekend for the more painful grinding levels.

[/ QUOTE ]

Very nice idea. I would love to see something like this on the other dom team.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, surprised I hadnt thought of it earlier tbh. We might need it once we get into the mid 30's and up.

OK.
So far we have:
ken titus
chicken1013
echo
Mr Moot
Jum
Chillblaze
defuser
and me.

If I missed anyone let me know, or if you just found the thread and want to take part, let me know. Even though we have 8, we should be able to run 2 teams at the same time, especially if we get a few more.
Seems we're leaning towards a union team with most people either having toons there already or being full up on defiant. If anyone prefers defiant for any reason post it up so we can discuss it.
As for which day. I'm thinking either thursday at 7, (7 works for the other dom team) or sunday afternoon about 1 or 2ish. Sunday gives us a bit more time if we like, problem being some people do other things on a sunday, or they like to go out the night before
Another option is to play at 7 one night during the week, and maybe have a monthly super session at the weekend for the more painful grinding levels.
Really, I'd just like to leave at least one day between the regular teams so I dont get all dom'd out. Whats other peoples thoughts on the proposed days? Or does anyone have a better day they would like to suggest?

[ QUOTE ]
I really wanted to join the first team but found out about it way too late, anyway i have 2 doms, can bring which is at a better suited level: a level 8 mind/psi and a level 14 plant/thorn

[/ QUOTE ]

Might need to sit out a wee bit till we catch up with lvl 8ish. What server?

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
So to help them remember it's fun you set out to [censored] them off? I don't follow the logic here.

[/ QUOTE ]

I usually talk to people and try to lighten the mood but if their first response is namecalling, 99 times out of a 100 its no point in trying to have a conversation.

[/ QUOTE ]

Unless its a PAIN conversation!!

I've noticed doms tend to pull lots of aggro as well, I always assumed it was a dom thing rather than build or playstyle. Interesting because like you I play more blapperish and also tend to use domination as soon as its up. It isnt so much a problem later on when there are more powers up more frequently, means I pretty much have a tool for every occaision.

Cool. Shouldnt take too long to catch up with lvl 4. :O)

So far we have:

ken titus
chicken1013
echo
and me.

Seeing as a few people were disappointed at not being able to get in the regular dom team here's your chance with a second one. Not sure how this will work as I'l still be playing the main team on tuesdays. That means either do this on another day, or if someone else wants to lead the 2nd team, we can do them both on tuesdays. (then compare how we got on here the next day).
Server is still up for discussion with either one having advantages. So far I know ken Titus is keen to join. Anyone else?

build a team, work together and you will beat them.

[/ QUOTE ]

If you post a link to your pvp team building guide we will read it then. Saying "build a team" doesnt change anything, I've had victories in the zones too, otherwise I wouldnt go back. Just that i can play pretty much any of my heroes and do well without breaking a sweat. On villains I have to bust my backside to breakeven.
BTW. what toons were you playing in the zones?

[ QUOTE ]
I personally liked today when we (2 MM's, A Stalker and a Corruptor) were accused of ruining the game by staying near the base whilst 11 other heroes pounded us. (Including one doing the old 'Bomb the Hospital' bug that was petitioned back in I6).

[/ QUOTE ]

Something that drives me nuts that. And even when pushed right up as close as they can, if you drone them its a torrent on abuse over broadcast.

[ QUOTE ]
(oh and the fact that dominators would pwn hami silly)

[/ QUOTE ]

They would?

Always makes me wonder why people agree the backbone of a good team is the support toons, then they ignore that there is no support "specialist" on villians. Oh, well, maybe in the villain epic ATs then.
I'm not sure /thermal is the way to go for villain support, those shields are res based yes? And heroes have a good bit of unresistable damage going around. I'm starting to think /ice might be better for villain support seeing as the shields are def based. Its also a bit more flexible having a few debuffs, a while back I toyed around with the idea of an AR/ice team, could be horrible to fight against. Still like my dark/thermal though.

I get the same problem on quake servers when I just want to collect all the coolest guns. Dunno why people keep shooting at me, youd think that was the point of the game or something.

PvP sucks for villains tbh.

[/ QUOTE ]

Please explain why.

[/ QUOTE ]

Scrappers have highest damage modifier in the game
Controller and Defenders have highest buffs and debuffs in the game (empath heal makes a team almost unbeatable)
Every hero group now has tactics so stalkers are pretty much made redundant
PPP are appalling when compared to hero epics
Blasters can do more melee damage than Brutes and are capable of 1 shotting stalkers

[/ QUOTE ]

Am I the only one who grows tired of "villains are weak" arguement? Imo apart from the PPPs (which are nowhere near as bad as some people make out), the rest of that is rubbish, what do you even base that on?

[/ QUOTE ]


Brutes dont even have a working inherent.
Doms take a lot of work to get near domination thanks to low survivability, makes many players give up.
MM's take a long time to set up, have lousy mobility, plus a TP or KB power will easily wipe out bodyguard.
You still see some brutes in pvp, doms and MM's tend to be pretty rare. They arent rare because they rock in pvp.

Villain epics are almost worthless, just compare them to hero epics. Claiming they arent as bad as people make out is an understatement.

Arent there also far more unresisted powers/damage on hero side?
AFAIK only a stalkers AS is unresisted on villian side. Would explain why they are the villain PVP'ers choice.

Yep, I have a flying regen stalker and ariel assasinations are always tricky. I have a bind to switch between fly and hover, handy as a brake and for saving endurance. If fly is your only travel power you might have problems getting away from a bad situation, which is probably why you notice SR isnt helping out much. I went for fly and TP, its very end hungry but maybe it will get better with more slots.

ps. An alternative might be to pick up air superiority to knock them out the sky then AS them on the ground.

Anyone got any links to where the devs have commented on chains/blades? Would love to read it :O)

[ QUOTE ]
I remember devs talking about liking Chains and Dark Control. Chains sound more "Dominatorish", don't you think?

[/ QUOTE ]

Hell yeah!
If we got chain doms I'd roll up a cenobite style guy right away. Tried this with grav/thorn but it isnt the same.
