Psi blast and Sonic Blast (i'd like to see more attacks using hands instead of your head or mouth... i know i know psi stuff comes from your brain and screaming is sonical, but i don't like it.)
Energy Blast (the energy bolts can come out of the users hands instead of fists, also bolts should travel to the enemy alot faster like pistols bullets. That way the knock back and down would look more fitting)
Maybe add in crossbow animations for Archery (although this is more in the weapons costume parts but i think its interrelated to this thread)
Gravity control (Grav Distortion would be cooler done with one hand, lift as well. Also can we put more "umph!" into Propel might as well since the animation time is still long.)
If the user is not using shields, maybe broad sword users can opt to use two hands to make the sword look more heavy and medieval. Although most of the animations in the melee sets are decent, their are a few that are just "uhhh.... what was that?!?" For example shadow maul could instead be a nifty looking close combat combo. Eviscerate looks unnatural and makes the claws user seem desperate (like a wild kitten), maybe the character's body can move with the arms better. Energy melee has some potential for animation options as well. Thats it for now GL devs. -
you should use dispersion bubble. If you don't, there is no reason to roll a FF for any solo PvP.

welcome to the button mashers club wreck

maybe rappers and the gaiis that listen to them are emo, but they do a good job of hiding it by yelling a lot.

I usually press a binded key that says "Kill such and such target." 90% of the time that target dies or hiber/phases. Thats all the organizing you need, anymore and there's gonna be alot of base camping untill the other side get organized at which point you guys might as well get on vent and go to the arena.

1. devs are busy with the other 95% of the game which is PvE, but almost every change done in PvE is indirectly transfered over to how it affects PvP.
2. Damage dealing archetypes are the most competitive ATs in pvp. Buffing/healing comes next. Then debuffing sets, and finally disruption sets are the least important sets but are still sometimes needed. (Seach the this forum for what power sets work best in PvP)
3: You do need to have IOs that exemplar down like purples or PvP IOs, and also accolades to be competitive across all lvls. So its safe to say you'd want to get to 50 and get at least ur accolades and also a cheap set of IOs. -
if youre going with power mastery make sure to pick up phase shift. Most blasters go with hibernate so they can afford to go with leadership, but in your case you'll have to lose the perception and +tohit for a bit of extra res. The Power APP + phase is IMO better for zones if thats what ur going for. GLHF

archery is not bad if built for 1v1s (just saying since divine hasn't posted yet)

if you're going to quote me, quote me with in context. It's always easy to edit anything a person is saying to mean something different. I said "a certain OPness of the Dom AT," which was just one of the subjects our convo was on at the time. Yeah this is great that everyone thinks I'm responsible for i13 lol cuz ignorance is srsbizz.
-
Do people think im a fan of i13 or something? lol im not. Anyways i knew exaclty what happened in i13 saw it comming from PMs i got from Castle way back in i11 when he acknowledged the Flaws, Buggs, and certain OPness in the Dom AT. Since he knew it was a waste of time to fix certain issues then i knew he had something planned that when changed those issues would be addressed (I reasoned the only way for him to do it was to breakdown the whole system). I also had a feeling guys like peritus, rystorm, Ajax, lab, etc. would leave the game since this change practically broke down competitive arena PvP (reason why people left cuz of i13 is irrelavant now so why am I gonna play into this again??). So I'm gonna stop here, there's not a lot of people who know me anymore and i like to stay on the downlow as the "nobody noob who doesn't know shitz about PvP"

Quote:oh like yeah the 174 people who pvp and the 23 vocal PvPers who actually know whats going on in pvp make up the bulk of the player base lol. yeah listen to us devs don't worry about the 10,000+ badging noobs that pay for your porches and suburban homes. ok So lemme try complaining now see what that does....because everyone knows when the dev team makes a decision, the player response should be to bend over and take it whether it is a good or bad change and then thank them all the while (ironically this is what the bulk of the player base does anyway)
and i'd attribute your neg rep to your lack of pvp knowledge or anything related to the subject (close to saist levels) and less to just simple forum pvp.
Hey dev dude I don't like the sucky low DR curve for squishie res numbers, ...................................... .................................. why so much free res? .................. .. ......... ..........
ok yeah i complained... nothing happened. Maybe if all 23 of us complain something will happen? lol.
So yeah please look at the bigger picture here, take into consideration how many people are actually "hardcore" PvPers, the history of arena PvP, how many noob fight clubbers/zoners there are, what's the end goal for devs when looking at PvP, PvP numbers, statistics, and bugs, etc. I didn't say jack when people noticed the placate proc being bugged because there was reasoning behind it. Everyone's entitled to an opinion but most importantly express reasoning, an understanding of the larger picture, and a foward thought process when making opinions. i.e; even if "I" like mezz prot/mag how many different players of different skill level and strategies will that affect? how many would it benefit? There's a lot of bigotry in PvP for a lot of the "noobs" (like in any game), and i've been found guilty some of the times, but if this game is going to grow past 4v4 kick balls on a prime time thursday night (freedom), we are going to have to educate newbies and treat them as equals because the devs don't care if your a 1337 or a nub and neither should we. To them you both pay them $15 a month each account and both have 3 accounts for farming. This shiet should all be old news. /rant -
Quote:yeah well it's not like i like the changes from i13; some were ok and other ones not so hot. I'm not really saying anyone here's a spoiled whiny brat, But I'm just fed up with all the irrelavant topic throwbacks that are not going to help make PvP any better. The devs ain't gonna revert much of anything and putting in an i12 button in arena is honestly shamefull for a "respected" dev team to do in this industry. Even if Castle admits any balance mistake, little tweeks here and there are all we will get cuz he has to go through all these other dudes and posi.Well, I'd complain less if things were more balanced. I'm not deluded enough to think that I12 PvP was perfect, but it was a lot more balanced, diverse, and fun than what we've got now.
In any event, you guys will like what GR has to offer and yeah GR is more "balanced" and 1 old AT more diverse (I just know don't ask).
(On another note, i could care less about base raids but i'd like to suggest that the base raid idea be put into arena with dev made maps. lol i got all these red reps cuz people thought i was a fight clubber Lmao this is how ignorant forum PvP is.) -
stop whining about i13. yeah we lost a lot of pros but look at us now with fight clubbing in sirens lol. CoP is back this will make me stronger for a few days in zones yay w/e. Honestly if you can't hack how crappy you think pvp is now or before, leave the game; if you like killing noobs like i do play some more. The day i can't kill in pvp anymore is the day ill be leaving and killing is all i care about or seeing things get killed before i get killed is ALL i care about. end of story close this thread before we have to read more effin' lame whining.
Edit: i break up fight clubs every chance i get especially when they are low HP thats since FCers dont have phase lol. (so figure it out dipzits i was being sarcastic above) -
if you make an MM for PvP you should spend that 200 bil.
-
the hellz an F2P?
-
ok well go with the DM proc out ur fast animating attacks get aidself and phase get webnades and taunt.
-
why not go for SS/elec? If this is for zone go EM, if for fight club go DM.

If you have like 97% def in PvE you will have 14% in PvP; if you have 24% def in PvE you will have 13% which is practically nothing. These numbers are because of diminishing returns. So don't concentrate on def for any squishie. Concentrate on +hp, res, acc, dmg, recharge, etc.
A bubbler is hard to play effectively; its not your FoTM psi/em, mind/fire, spines/regen, etc. where you spam attacks at a called target or spam taunt and webnades. FFers are very situational but can still be very effective on teams. Here's some of the strategies used by FFers: 1. high knock back slotted force bolt to KB the called target for your team to spike and kill. 2. Trap/push around a called target with force bubble for that extra 2 sec so your team can get a few more spike attacks off. 3. unhide stalkers with force bubble for team spikes and make it hard for them to AS or Shark. 4. stay in PFF when and try to get the other team to spike you even more while your healer keeps you alive. and etc.
If you are what you say you are, i'd recommend a rad/sonic or psi rather than a kinda hard to play toon like an FFer. PFF will not always save you especially when you have 3-6 players shooting you all with 45% chance to hit you in PvP. So At least till you get the mechanics of PvP id recommend a rad or even emp. -
well its not super good dmg mitigation but it does make you less useless.
-
id say MA/regen for all 3. get confront, webnades, tough and phase and you'll be good
-
well you don't have to wait for GR cuz you can probably (i am sure) get the pools you want at lvl 50 later, but you won't be able to get all them badges is all lol.

if ur jealous don't speed boost him and don't siphon any dmg for him. if he asks admit ur jealous. But understand ur prolly the one making him uber.
