For blasters, */elec is better than */energy in PvE-It has more AoE

*/nrg is better than */elec in PvP because of the self buffs and it hits harder.

[/ QUOTE ]

with the end drain and toggle drop changes in i7 elec will probaly be a better pvp power..there is more stun res (non power pool) then KB res..and with the end drain from i7, .. power sink (auto hit end drain) is gonna be pretty powerfull:P..

but this was a scrapper topic:P

anyway go SR then..we already got waaaaaay to many of the Spines/rgn's:P

As many of you may know, we have an open night on Tuesdays for arena practice in Port Oakes, as detailed HERE

This has been going on for a few weeks now and a few of us have decided it's time to get a few of us over on the test server for the Wednesday night practices.

What we're looking for is PvP players to turn up to tomorrows arena practice with a view to getting between 5-10 of us willing to start training regularly together.

Anyone interested, just turn up at the arena in Port Oakes, Ruby Zone from 19.30 on Tuesday or post here if you have any questions.

Is it still hero/villains combined?

[ QUOTE ]
lol it was my pleasure to help you out PC ... However! now that you have your 400 rep and there are not villains letting you kill them to get it i shall be hunting you down like always

[/ QUOTE ]

sshhh don't scare him..else there will be no dev blasters left^^..and its fun to see how suprised they are if you still jump in the mines on purpose to make the final hit:P

Claws/Regen: the best choice you could ever make.

[/ QUOTE ]

Shameless advertising..

tho..claws is a good set cause of the combined range+melee...the end costs are very small 2 so you won't have 2 much trouble keeping your end up (I believe they get even less in i7)..still..the damage aint to high and its pure lethal..if you want a med damage/high damage set I would rather go for DM..if you wanna go for a fast pased set go for claws..both worth a try...don't lissen to the claws suck trashtalk since its a good set just like any other

I agree with 7 here..tho I think any secondairy with BU can have a snipe like that unless power boost has more DoT:P..and yes the range boost..well..maybe if you go pure sniper yes (but why don't you just go dev then:P)..but if you really go for sniping runners activating range boost cost to much time:P

I really wish I could think of a way to fix perception/stealth, as it's really not too balanced...Let me think for a sec...

[/ QUOTE ]

Isn't it? Why not. Seems fine to me. Some people can see stalkers, other can't. I get the impression people are of the opinion that stalker should always be invisible, or in the case of this post, only visible at close range despite your perception bonus.

[/ QUOTE ]


No, it isn't. What's the point in having an AT that's primary function is stealth and the ability to remain unseen, if they can be seen by most everyone in the zone? Perception powers are common, meaning perc can be capped easily, as opposed to stealth powers, where's the balance there?

[/ QUOTE ]

Didn't I show you that you can still easily beat squishies while seen?:P..

anyway I don't think its a big problem..tho those SR scrappers do my head in since they 2 hit kill you sometimes:P (focussed sences) (you wannabe stalkers^^)

Ice/energy tanks in warburg and spines/sr in SC FTW!! Icy will be down (again) ^^'

Just wait till I get your blaster again little man

[/ QUOTE ]

IIRC my blaster has killed ur stalker more times in SC.. and just wait till im 30 and it has aid self too^^ (or for my spines/SR with tactics , shame it's just lv18 so far, but gimme a week or two)

You wish:P..

Hi

Considering using Siphon speed as my travel power until I get somewhere in my mid 20s when I might waste some powers getting something more usual.

Think I will be ok will the reliance on a mob to siphon the speed from become a problem ?

Thanks for any replies

[/ QUOTE ]

DOn't use it as travel power use it for the slow+ self recharge...its also a lot better in pvp then pve..later on when you get internal reduction you can combines those 2 without having a travel power tho (IR is very..VERY good) (you might wanna put 2 slot in sprint tho for those ghost mishes^^)

[ QUOTE ]
id say FF as well.. however forcebubble, great as it is.. never seems to work well with pets

"hey look... an enemy pushed in a corner"
...

...
"oh ffs! attack him you fools!"

[/ QUOTE ]


hehehe..I woke up with a bad mood but I'm laughing again..Thank U

ah a bit like my ninjutsu defensive build

but indeed the slotting what xiro said..tho slotted health can help if you can't fit in medicine (your not always scrapping so got some nice downtime heal)..

I would get rid of 1 recharge in dragonfly for another acc..the basic accuary is good but so is the recharge..if you spam golden dragonfly your endurance might kiss you goobye and then you end up useless:P..quickness is fast enough to cover it tho and hitting an attack is always better then spamming misses..

hehe finaly someone who realise that snowstorm is great..all other stormies are always saying to mini icy that snow storm is useless if you have freezing rain but I love it combined^^

[ QUOTE ]
I dont think you and I are going to agree on this at all... sorry

As far as I can see, the relative lowering of /sonic from defender --> troller is exactly the same as /forcefield.


[/ QUOTE ]

If you go by that reasoning, then there would be no difference between Sonic or FF. FF has Force Bubble though, which is just so much better than the lv 38 Sonic Power, it's not even funny. Force Bubble is just very very good in PVP, which gives Forcefield a big advantage. For example, I don't even have the single target buffs on my /FF controller. I would never ever roll a /Sonic troller and not get those buffs. That's how good Force Bubble is.

That's not to say that Sonic isn't good though. It's a different type of good. I wouldn't mind seeing Sonic buffed Fire Imps with the debuff toggle on them. That should be pretty decent damage. You'll be a lot more open to attack though. You have no self heal and no other way to protect yourself.

[/ QUOTE ]

Everything what I wanna'd to say has been said by mesmer here..I considered taking forcefield cause of forcebubble (the power we love and hate so much:P)..

tho I still made sonic..the reason why....well..its one of the first ever so its not like you fight a team and there is a copy of you already..and what mesmer said..if I buffs my pets with -res they run around like anchors while I can focus on the main target..

I also make this toon togheter with a tank and a scrapper so they love the shields I give them:P...anyone got the values of those tho?..

anyway thank you all for the reactions^^...I know that it may not be the best power set for pvp but its worth to check out..

I will be there with icy hidden moon..any teams free?

you can't say it isn't fair that stalkers can be countered...


[/ QUOTE ]
countered ok
but find exep for a hold, a build that can nullifiate the tanking ability of a tank? or the killing rate of a blapper/rava.

it's not a buff /debuff. i mean you can do a kin to help taking down regen or tank by sucking their speed rechar or their end, but during that the tank can still tank and a regen can still tear you in 2 critick if he catch you

[/ QUOTE ]

then slap the regen:P..AS toggle droppes and I believe that any build has something that can *** them up^^...from knockup to stun to immobilize:P..

[ QUOTE ]
Problem of SR: just defense,mezz protection and +spd + recharge.

Defense is completely useless for PVP: everybody got slotted FA,or tactics or AIM or Build Uo (or everything lol).

So they just simply turn FA on and ..there you go ...the whole SR set is reduced to +spd,+rch and mezz protection.They just need ONE single power to make your secondary useless(aside from Elude).

Thats the bad side of SR(there are a good side but ppl already told u about that).

[/ QUOTE ]

You really underestimate SR..I've fought enough SR's (and my slotting is always acc heavy) and if they had a good build they where very hard to hit unless I popped BU..but even then the ''miss'' sign got shown a lot..and yes FA...but you forget the end heavy ness of FA..and indeed its 41+..and yes..thats for scrappers/tanks..as a stalker you don't go for them..you go for teh squishies..(unless you are EM:P)

why does no-one take shadow punch...shadow punch/smite/shadow maul chains so good^^...or shadow punch/smite/air sup/midnight grasp/shadow maul..most squishies will be down:P

nice build ever...tho skip the SJ set and get some breakfrees...IR is way better then SJ and you got some room for more optional powers

[ QUOTE ]
fireball does less damage then powerblast

[/ QUOTE ]

Also, as i stated in an earlier post, i've given up on speccing this toon into a PvP build, fire/kin is far too good at PvE to warrant it, i have other toons for PvP.

[/ QUOTE ]

hehe missed that part..in that case fire is your friend..even more if you use aoe mez

elec or nrg:P..most will probaly say nrg tho...but its more a pve based difference then..with elec you have power sink (in i7 it will be even better)..jump in..sap them..and pop aoe on em without getting countered.

nrg tho..the big damage called total focus..build up at lvl 4..power boost for self heal if you take it...and boost range if you wanna use fire ball at a long range for less dangerous aggro..personaly do I like elec more..but if you want a good choice which helps with pvp 2 take nrg...

if you really wanna avoid those take ice..slows are great

[ QUOTE ]
Strange that everyone picks fire epics. I know that its attacks have the quickest animations of all, and that they dont root you... but specially after no more permahold in i7, powerboost can be almost a must

[/ QUOTE ]

fireball does less damage then powerblast 2 (tested)..also way longer recharge and fireblast can't make up for the damage...its nice for pve if you are a kin but for pvp primal is lots better imo (kin's don't need consume either:P)

Yes yes.Icy is making a new pvp toon but this time on defiant. Anyway.I had fire/ff planned for some time cause I think it will be great after 32 and pre epic..its NOT support so not sure about taking the def bubbles for allies..forcebubble seems very excelent to keep enemies away from you and the mez and +def from despersion are awesome 2..and offcourse the forcebolt against those squishies:P

..but yesterday I realised that sonic has some great goodies for dueling...any hints or tips?^^

my stalker is lvl 33.5...if I can get her up today (won't be home till 14:00) I will join you

to say it easy..a tank can tank without taunt...brutes can better have it if they are planning on tanking:P

[ QUOTE ]
Maybe. But you find yourself a nice squishy villian, eat a red, pop buildup and drop behind him for IC and RS and I can tell you that trying to mez you is the last thing they are thinking about.

Thats when having the nice gunship that is Nova can be great as they try to leg it and have no idea where the shiny blasts that keep hitting them are coming from.

[/ QUOTE ]

pfff..sod that...*pops BU at red health and does nrg transfer for a suicidal debtless death^^*..ha you didn't got me:P
