    I can't say I blame you for not wanting to be a nightclub scrapper. "The Situation," "Pauly D," "Vinny," and "Ronnie" have ruined nightclub scrapping for me forever.

    I have one of the procs in a build I have planned. It would sure be disappointing to find out it doesn't work at all in PVE. No one knows of a better way to test to be sure? If it's not working I'd like to bring it to the attention of those who can fix it.
    My understanding is the proc (from a stun set) would only fire when the stun portion of a power activates. However Macskull has a much better understanding of game mechanics than I. If the proc functioned as you say then it would be firing every time I activated the power, which it is not. That is, if it fires off 100% in PVP.

    So, it is either firing 33% of the time every time I use boxing (working correctly and any time the power is activated), or it is firing 100% of the time every time the stun portion of boxing fires off which is 10%.

    It's difficult for me to tell because I am not stunning my opponents every time the proc fires thanks to mez suppresion in PVP. All I can confirm is the proc is not firing 100% of the time I use boxing.

    I have personally been hit for for 900ish (that's with 28% res to both damage types) and seen chat logs showing upwards of 1100. With procs it's even ouchier.
  5. I am happy to say I was there to witness this momentous occasion.

    The only thing I am aware about it being off is Concentrated Strike having a base 441 damage for scrappers. Buffed up, it is hitting for 1000+ damage (that's resisted damage by the way.) So basically it's doing critical level damage 100% of the time. Compared to crit percentages of other tier 9s, that's off by at least 85%. If the devs are on their game then you will see CS getting a bit of a PVP nerf soon.

    KM for Brutes and Tanks look fine (don't know about stalkers.)

    Hmm, interesting, I have it in boxing so it must be firing off every time I stun someone (10% chance.) I had no idea the proc was firing 100% in PVP though. I gotta find an attack that has a better chance to stun on a defense-based toon .
  9. I /bugged Castle but was told he's working as intended
  10. Convenient's ladder team has been getting really good. Double secret midnight practice has paid off and we are a force to be sure. I frapsed some of our practice, enjoy!

    Same goes for Kheldians. Too bad they don't have access to something with elusivity.

    nubs need to learn how to adapt and use their builds instead of just relyering on insp and heals and phase and pocket healers i mean who plays a healer unless ur just a noob who cant kill so you heal lololol SO LETS GET THE.

    im not a big forumer ether becusae i actualy pvp noobs and when the turn enhanceanmt thers not any for TF and go play with ur legos noobs
    I like this. You get two points.

    Make a "TRUE" FREE for ALL PvP Zone that would be pretty intense because we all love FFA Arena matches with liek 35ppl i it XD zone can hold 50 ppl right XD?
    I still agree with this guy. "Coke" is better than Pepsi! Sniff!

    Tryin to decide on some ideas. Played brutes, scrappers, corruptors, doms, mm and blasters.

    Just trying to find something I can have some fun on get some kills not get 1 shotted non-stop and basiclly learn how to pvp. Im on Freedom. Just came back to the game and lookin to have some fun.

    I dont mind expensive builds...heck something to work for. But Id like to give pvp an "honest" attempt this time.

    Any suggestions/advice/help would be greatly appreciated.
    It sounds to me like you want a Peacebringer, but I am biased and think Kheldians are the supreme combination of alien and human.

    Whoa! Did I just RP and answer? I think I kinda did.

Its not hard to tell, its still very challenging for Veterans due to excessive AT & build compition and keeping up with FotM as well as easy to learn and expeirience as a NewB. the DR helps for ppl who DONT know how to slot and use crap like SO's and reg IO's w/e. Yall just need to Man-Up and adjust, its a video game YOUR SUPPOSED TO DIE....


    as for the new i19 fitness pool inherent.....its a feature that should have started standard that way.......fitness Always should have been an inherent its about TIME.....ofc it will make PvP more diff but ISN THAT WHAT WE WANT? DONT WE BEG FOR A CHALLENGE? PvP aint easy......its just easy to Gank!!!!!


    Also to touch down on ppl who use "Phase Shift" lmao u guys r NooBs NOBODY needs Phase.......again ITS A VIDEO GAME YOUR SUPPOSED TO DIE........besides all u really need is invis and some decent run speed if u dont has that then u should expect to die more than not, phase doesnt stop u from being killed.....its just a waste of power wich u coulda used for somthing that WOULD HELP u kill instead of being killed or needing to pop phase in the 1st place XD

    oh yea 1 nire thing before i go.......NOTHING IS O.P......NOTHING!!!!!!

    if we were all in PvP with 0 enhancments what AT would just be GOD?......NONE because with out enhancments yur toon aint squat......with that said.....different strokes for different folks, ppl build/slot differently SO some r BETTER than others i.e. i can hit u with "Brawl" for 500dmg but u can only hit me for 100dmg why? cuz i slot better XD nothing is OP so stop QQ'ing and maiking the devs tyena fix **** that aint broke YOUR BROKE or u cant MAN-UP and ADJUST
    I agree with this guy. He is right, "Coke" is better than Pepsi.

    It will make a very big difference in a lot of cases.

    Define alot...Because not having fitness on a PVP character would be uncommon to rare (stalkers being the most common to skip it.)

    Don't get me wrong inherent fitness will be a big boost to just about every PVP build I can think of. Phase/tough and or leadership will be popping up everywhere.
  18. Very good suggestions, especially number one. I was just talking about this one the other day. It would make shapeshifting so much less of a hassle.

    For real, it was amazing & sad at the same time.
    I'm all for mixing up the ATs but man with the right combo, & maybe with good team work you can finish the game

    Our team list:

    I'll/Emp controller phasing from webs
    Peacebringer woof woof
    Thug/Pain snacks on scrappers
    Merch/traps tps you to her lobby
    Eng/regen stalker, passing out hugs during the win.



    I'll/emp Controller
    Peacebringer
    Thug/pain. MM
    Merch/traps MM
    Eng/regen stalker
    Cool story.

    thanks
    Mind/Fire Dom
    Son/Therm Corr or Son/Pain (Son/Cold is also fun)
  22. I agree wholeheartedly. My dollars will 100% be spent elsewhere come November unless some positive steps are taken toward addressing the concerns of the PVP playerbase.

    If the devs are going to do nothing for PVP then there is no reason for me (as a PVPer) to continue playing this game. We've been patient enough so a little update at least would go a long way to keeping my dollars here.
