I think it has some sort of knockback resistence or something which the other sets dont have. Least thats what i heard.

I love this thread, its so silly.

I have 2 zombies called mr chomps and mr festor. I couldnt think of a 3rd mr name so i held a quick competition in my team before i left, the prize being the star for the best name. The new zombie is Mr Bones

Spines also makes a silly noise when it hits, sort of like stepping in dogpoop.

If you know what u doing then anything is beatable, I need someone to get them off ice patch for me to do anything, fortunately my wingman has TP foe

I think he was refering to a 1-to-1 situation. In this case the Ice tanker would be unnaccessible and therefore unbeatable?

2 ppl will more often than not beat a single opponent - assuming he hangs around for long enough.

We were arranging duels a few days back between stalkers and one scrapper, both regen. It was agreed that AS wouldnt be used but placate would, which seems fair enough. If anyone's interested the fights went either way with no one really hammering the other, and, as both were regens, they lasted ages.

Thanks, done my respec last night, took a quick zip around sirens and had a lot more fun than usual.

Not a drinky bar in sirens. The bar in the compass to show who's winning. Was in today and the bar was nearly all blue then dropped to 50%. Heroes already had the goggles and armor so i assume this was the 3rd time the zone was taken. Are there any advantages to taking the zone a 3rd time?

PvP is playable as a defender although not in it's traditional team support role.

[/ QUOTE ]

Depends on the defenders build, i play empath in pvp and do nothing other than play team support, villains often go after me but i am rarely killed

[/ QUOTE ]

I teamed with you as docbot, not sure how u managed to keep urself alive so long.

Ah, stalker spooking, my 2nd fave sport (rooftop leaping coming in 1st). I especially love it when new stalker players sneek up thinking i cant see them, only to get zapped and debuffed :P

I always try and carry some breakfrees, one hold and theres a good chance i'll be taking a trip to the hospital.

ps. Am I the only person who thinks its rude to call someone lame. Seems to be a lot of it going on.

Thankfully I dont draw much aggro in pve but i have occassionaly used hover to get a better view of the battle. I dont have hover slotted for speed as i can keep myself boosted with siphon speed anyway, if i keep hover i might slot a lot of defence in it.

Thanks for the advice (another scot as well :P)
I'm thinking of dropping repel to make room for some different powers. In pve repel is a good panic button, although i dont seem to use it very often. In pvp its good against some melee classes, but recently i've seen so many melee'ers who appeared to have some sort of protection against it.

Does anyone have any opinions on the repel power?

one villain even put on broadcast after me arriving for 5 mins: "they have an empath this is pointless"

Makes me want to build an empath just to annoy people

[/ QUOTE ]

Less fun than you think as you become the danger and therefore the prime target

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm used to that with my other defender anyway. Had a lot of practice getting back to the team from the hospital as quickly as possible.

[ QUOTE ]
There seems to be a lot of blanket 'heroes are better' statements.

[/ QUOTE ]

It annoys me as well. I've played both games and I really dont see how villains have a harder time of it than heroes. BTW. masterminds can still be fun in pvp and a useful team mamber to have around.

I dont have any numbers but as far as I know, a players 2nd set is always less powerful than there 1st, so although you can get the same powers with a controller, they wont be as potent. On top of that, you get the powers later, so if you plan on using transferance from kinetics, you will need a defender.
I play a kin/elec defender and spent a reasonable amount of time in sirens (union), I dont kill many players, but thats not really a defenders job.

I picked necro/dark too and having a great time. With dark you also get a rez power with some great debuffs on it, so much so i sometimes use it even if there is no one around to rez. You cant rez henchman though, but there is a sort of zombie rez in the necro set which summons a ghost. Dark is a very hands on set and i find myself helping out my team with heals just as much as my pets. So if you pick dark as your 2nd you can play almost like a defender in coh. I havent used the other sets so i dont know how they work out.

yeah that ranks right up there with wanting to see my brute take on an empath heres an example, my stalker has less than 700 HPs in sirens while SinghMCs regen scrapper has 1500 with the accolades

I've actually had brutes (and stalkers) complain at me cos I didnt stand there like a numpty with my defender and "fight fair".

The population of the PvP zones tends to swing around quite a bit. Type /whoall to see whos in the zone but players who are doing indoor missions wont appear there.

Well my MM on defiant is nearing lvl 20. Not the best AT for pvp but it sounds like it would be fun to come along.

I'm sorry you had bad experiences with MM's, it sounds like the strategy used was a bit rough around the edges. Apart from the obvious difference, I play my necro/dark MM pretty much the same way I play my defender.

Ha, i knew squishy stalkers were a myth!

Good post, I think i agree with all that was said there.

I already know many Brutes and Stalkers who just don't like teaming with them for any reason.

[/ QUOTE ]

Maybe its because I can use my pets to draw aggro off the fleeing stalker following his AS, that must really be annoying. Or keep all the mobs busy with my pets while he AS's the boss. Or draw aggro off any AT thats going down. Then after sacrificing all my pets to keep the team alive, i can still use my 2nd set to heal, rez, debuff, and generally keep the team alive.

Nah, leave stormies alone. I only got mine to avoid stalkers :P

[/ QUOTE ]

Thats funny, stormies are the only reason I made my stalker

[/ QUOTE ]

hehe. i remember u saying on another post that your stalker was built as an anti stormie. Everything I hear suggests stormies are strong against stalkers. Except maybe spines.

Nah, leave stormies alone. I only got mine to avoid stalkers :P

Biggest problem is sirens is quite often unbalanced in terms of numbers. Some ppl say its always full of heroes, and others say its always full of villains. Truth is, that changes a lot, and sticking around for 15 mintues can sometimes make a difference.

BTW, i agree with the idea of no debt from the hotspot mobs, I'm going to have to keep out of sirens for few days after racking up a barrel load of debt.
