''Only while PB is up.


says enough

Like I said I have one real reason (IF you read my other post) to get primal and thats CP...also considering playstyle..

[ QUOTE ]
I agree with Dark Blasphemy: Storm benefits nicely from PB for a multitude of reasons. Add also to the list: repel strength, -def, stuns, kback, mez resist if you run Acro, movement speed...

[/ QUOTE ]

true..except that pb isn't perma...not at all even

(do people even read my second post where I countered what he said already)

I agree fully on that..mostly the CP..but..

1. I wanna'd a change from primal
2. my slow is on max most of the time already^^
3. altho powerboost is a great power ice armor is more permanent..I guess primal and ice are both great choices just like you said

defiant has way more variaty then union in sirens...period

Ninja edit: Altho this idea was meant for pvp it might be better for the controller section..apoligies^^

Without saying much^^

-lvl 41 Ice blast

3 dam 2 acc 1 recharge

Nice damage..quick animation...and offcourse the slow

-Lvl 44 Ice armor

3 def 2 end mod..

to hit debuff stacked with this armor should make you pretty hard to hit in duels and also gives you little defense against ranged opponents

-lvl 47 Ice Storm

3 damage 2 recharge 1 slow

Freezing rain+Ice storm will give you big aoe damage and will combined slow everything in your way

Hibernate

3 recharge

Having lack of selfheal (even when taking aid self) and having a pretty end heavy build hibernate is a great ''oh [censored]!!" button..altho you might take this earlier on it requires less slots so for a lvl 50 build this would be the last on the list.

any comments or tips?^^

the empath is more defended invisible then the visable empath. even though the defenders healing aura is a bit stronger.

[/ QUOTE ]

Translates: invis+fear+pets+holds are a bigger defence then heals 25% (?) better:P

[ QUOTE ]
Go for Energy/Rad if you team most of the time.
Ice/Dark for solo.

[/ QUOTE ]


gimme a reason why energy combined with rad would be a good team choice...one of the only aoe's you have (not including powerpush) splits all your enemies...ice cones or fire aoe/cone damage work much better then ...I'm not saying its a bad choice...no sir ..but there are much better combo's for in teams

[ QUOTE ]
Heh - whilst I love dark miasma, dark blast just doesn't shake my maracas - superb controlly playstyle, but it doesn't feel as dynamic as fire/ice/sonic/rad in my personal opinion.

A very good combo, but to be honest, pretty much anything is a good combo, 'cause corruptors are just awesome!

just say "gimme some freaking damage"

regen..easily

Illusion/empathy controller is better then empath defender in the pvp zones.

[/ QUOTE ]

Because?

[/ QUOTE ]

they are more vunerable imo

[/ QUOTE ]

an invisible healer can be a real pain in the [censored] especially if they have fly, if someone drops them they can pet spawn in seconds. If I was making an emp again it would be ill/emp

[/ QUOTE ]

I meant empath defs tho stalk

pvp teams are much better with defenders...If I only use me secondairy on my troller (primary on defenders) we get soooo many more kills..and seeing as defender version of those buffs/debuffs are usualy better they are just great to have..

[/ QUOTE ]

He talked about sirens..

Besides, you don't need a 'massive' attack to take down a regen, just bit more than with the others.

[/ QUOTE ]

Silver Weasel is a level 50 blaster though, my stalker atm is only level 38. Both at 50 makes it a more even playing field.

[/ QUOTE ]

Level difference matters little in the zones as long you are properly slotted. That it'd matter is one of the urban legends im growing tired with.

[/ QUOTE ]


srry...but its rather an urban legend that people are even strenght cause of the auto sk/examp system in pvp zones..lvl's matter a LOT..

Tbh if you can't handle stalkers with a regen scrapper your really doing something wrong..if you can't handle stalkers with a spines/rgn scrapper...well...no futher comment needed..^^

Invul/ss and invul/em are awesome tank sets...for quick zone pvp (sirens mostly) you might want /ss but higher lvl pvp EM is much better..

I agree with stryker. And even a dom with lack of soft controll should still be fine if he plays right. But indeed doms are better in teams. But shouldn't that go for most control like sets? (except for the exceptions like illu and fire after lvl 32 maybe)

[ QUOTE ]
Ops, my mistake.

Since EM is more end frindly, I believe you have less probelms thah the ones I described in my last post.

[/ QUOTE ]


EM end friendly

[ QUOTE ]
Pesonally (as i have 1 myself) I would go for EM/SR. Sr has always been good...and when you think about it, upon getting energy transfer, agile and dodge...using energy transer as your first attack out of hide its gonna get a critical.

[/ QUOTE ]

The last 2 EM powers actually dont crit out of Stealth. Energy Transfer deals no damage to you out of Staelth and i think Total Focus does not get the full Crit Damage from outta hide. Though SR is a good set for Stalkers. Unlike Nin it does not provide Confuse/Fear Resist, but therefor has Slow Res, which is nice as well. Plus it provides some resist to def debuff, which Nin has not as well. In the End considering performance I dont think there is a lot of difference between those 2 sets (Nin and SR).

[/ QUOTE ]


1. The last power does crit out of hide. 100% chance even.
2. The difference between those 2 is way more then you might think..the only same thing about them would be hide and 2 toggles. sr has def and does have kb res. One of the def toggles gives confuse res indeed. And they got quickness. Nin has def/aoe placate/fear res/no kb res>.&gt/quick self heal/cone sleep-confuse/aoe placate/calltrops.
3. it does have def debuff res.

Anyway at the end I would pick nin in pve and sr in pvp. But there are already enough em/sr's runnin around. Already considered regen?. With a regen you can jump into 2 scrappers and laugh at them cause even when they hit it heals back. Considering ET from EM doesn't rely on hide but a bit of health regen would even fit better for it. EA is also a very good choice and you won't be dissapointed by that one either.

Whirlwind IS indeed very end heavy. I tried that power for 5 lvl's with 3 end reds in it and you could say bye bye to your end. Tbh..I would take neither for a kin.

[ QUOTE ]
Hasn't all other sets got a 5% increase in accuracy though? But Sonic hasn't. I'm sure I heard somewhere that Sonic has less accuracy then other sets.

[/ QUOTE ]

not 100% sure but I think the same rule applies for blasters as for scrappers. Draw your weapon=more acc..so is snipe..so that would give archery and AR more accuary...and some of the cone is supposed to be indeed but I yet have to see it happen:P

''Are you watching for the blizzard animation 'all' the time??? ''

no..like most people say...travel power ftw to dodge it.

And as second comment. Are you gonna stand still in pvp all the time?..I guess not..Yes you will probaly hit someone a bit with it. But not far as much as you could with powers as thunderous blast or nova.

edit: '' it's a lot worse then the other nukes, and that is a fact.

this is where he was right in...pvp wise..

cry because it's true. it's a lot worse then the other nukes, and that is a fact.

[/ QUOTE ]

I think you should check the actual figures before posting. Perhaps even engage your brain too.
The unslotted damage of blizzard is nearly double that of any other nuke. Now that's a fact.
Check it here. Clicky
It's posts like yours that give the impression of actuality without backing things up that give unfavourable impressions of powers that are infact wildly innacurate. Hopefully though, most people don't actually take any notice.

[/ QUOTE ]


he IS right tho..the highest damage doesn't mean the best nuke. For a blapper you need HIGH dps. Not a placable nuke which isn't to hard to dodge if you are fast. In pve I bet its nice. Or in base raids. But arena/zone pvp I would take any nuke over blizzard.

"My own sick satisfaction
I don't know why, I really don't, but for some reason I get a some real sick sense of glee from dropping fliers with snow storm. Nothing in PvP gives me as much pleasure as seeing the flying blaster or PA dropper hovering over the baying mob of meat head builds(tanks, scrappers, brutes, stalkers) picking his shots and safe in the sky from his inherent squishiness. Then you drop the sucker in the middle of that mob and watch then all turn from the high HP target they were fighting to the suddenly vulnerable easy meat that has dropped in on them like mana from heaven
