Thanks I may take you up on that, although I have respec'd that character about 4 times now. Maybe more, they have usually been free ones or vet ones.. but not found a happy pvp medium. Just dont enjoy the nerfage that is Elec blast.

Ii have yet to find a happy PvP/PvE medium for blasters. IMO if you want to PvP with it only take single target attacks and get CJ/SJ/Acro and Hasten/SS, Medicine pool as well.

I have been building a blaster for PvP and trying to get all the good accolades before level 38 so I can use then in WB. But I have hit a snag. I have everything except the Dimensional Warder badge, and I only have a couple more AVs to kill to get that. I have been stuck at level 37 for about 2 months now because I can't find anyone with the missions and I really don't want all my hard badge hunting to go to waste. So what I was wondering is if anyone is planning on doing Anti Matter, Neuron or Diabolique could they please let me know so I could join them? Cheers in advance if anyone can help.

Peace

@Nicky

I already have most of the IO's in my current build, and should have enough once I sold off the things I don't need any more. I have found the damage buffs from set bonus' to be difficult to get to work well with the other sets. The only place I could do with more damage seems to be the ranged attacks. But they are still fairly high numbers, and with the recharge bonus I should have either Build Up or Aim up at all times. Got a feeling its pretty close to perma hasten as well.

I have realised I forgot to post the data chunk from Mid's so you could look at the build yourselves, I will this wen I get home from work.

This is the new build I'm planning on using. Just wondered what you guys thought of it? I got a pretty awesome recharge and accuracy bonus, plus a pretty good recovery rate.

The reason I have slotted so heavily for fly is just a matter of preference. I like to blast from the air and making hover fast is the only way to do that.

I can hit through Elude with no real trouble, Power Boost is not really needed. The problem I see with with SR is, on my blaster I will BU, Aim, TF which as an SR has no real mez protection, they are left stunned and at about half health. Then its BS and another stun, to keep the toggles from coming back up. Then just kite until dead. Or another TF if it has come back quick enough. I know people are going to say that SR as practiced brawler, but Im sorry thats not real mez protection, a clicky that cant be used to BF is just silly in my opinion.

[/ QUOTE ]

oh please, you have already stated that you are not good at PvP and your total lack of knowledge on SR clearly illustrates this.

Heres practiced brawler - you get held over your mez protection your mez protection is STILL ON and you will break free FAR faster than with a toggle as once held your mez protection is OFF. Practiced Brawler is the BEST mez protection type in the game for PvP. You really dont have a clue about the game dynamics.

I have a BS/SR and it will devour your blaster, its not remotely difficult to avoid a blaster for the 10 seconds when aim and BU is popped, neither is it hard to see or to fire off aid self when you see the TF icon land in your buff bar and heal back all the damage that TF is going to do before it even lands.

I could write plenty more but I will become far less diplomatic than I am now, it kinda annoys me when people state something as fact when they are not in command of the facts.

[/ QUOTE ]

I am a competent PvPer, I dont pretend to be able to fight along side the best, but I can hold my own. And when did a knowledge of SR make a good PvPer?

Given a regen or an SR to fight, I would take the SR every time. I apologise if I have upset you by my comments on SR and your right I don't have a full knowledge of it. I was only saying how I see it.

Saying I don't have s clue about game mechanics is total [censored]. In fact the only thing you have to disagree with is over this issue of PB. which your getting just a little bit over excited about. Come on my comments didn't warrant such an annoyed response from you. Oh and you saying PB is the best mez protection for PvP, was that an opinion stated as fact? Is this a case of the pot calling the kettle black?

Ill happily meet you in the arena any time you want?

[/ QUOTE ]

your mindset is totally vanila PvP and your comments contradictory, first you say you are not a good pvper and then you claim to be competant. Not having knowledge of powersets means you are what I would term a less than competant pvper, simply because you dont know how to deal with a changing environment, you dont approach A in the same way as you approach B.

My comment on practiced brawler is fact backed up by facts as illustrated by my earlier example, letme try again for you.

Toggle mez protection, holds stack over the mez protection level the toggle falls, user has no mez protection fighting the hold effects and has only suppression to look forward too.

Clicky mez protection (ala PB), always on, 100% of the time, often overlapping giving further protection, the past drawback of this form of mez protection was rooting but that has now been removed. Holds stack over click mez protection the protection is still on even when held allowing the player to break free much more effectively than a toggle mez player.

The best way to think of PB is as an auto mez protection, tell me a pvper who doesnt want that.

It greatly annoys me when a person is asking about powersets and people who dont know anything about them make all sorts of erroneous comments as the OP wont know that its total bullcrap. Talk about what you know.

And yeah, I will happily fight you in arena

[/ QUOTE ]

I see your point about PB and thinking about it, its does seem like a very good form of mez protection. But your still in no position to state that it is the best. Its all a matter of opinion. So I am right, it is a case of the pot calling the kettle black.

As far as your comments on my PvPing mindset, I feel its a little unfair to say over one comment I made about PB. But you are correct, I really shouldn't have put it that way.

As far as my own PvP ability does, I said it before, I don't pretend I'm on the same level as the better players but I can PvP to a reasonable level. When I said I wasn't good I was just trying to modest. When I PvP in zones there are people I know I just cant beat, but others I have no difficulty with. The first group are good. The rest of us are just competent or rubbish.

I can safely say i havnt stunned a SR scrapper once through PB with Total focus and Bonesmasher :S stunned a few after they died and PB hasnt recharged tho, maybe thats why it seems like your stunning them...

Spag

You would imagine your right, I didnt mean to say I could stun through it, merely that as its not a toggle many people forget to leave it on auto.

Sorry but if you want to PvP dont take SR. Im not even that good at PvP and my blaster will own and SR scrapper. Build Up and Aim will just tear through your defence, even Elude, and as the set is all defence based you will take ALOT of damage when you do get hit.

ok just to clear it up.Please dont state your preference rather than just your thoughts on this. I prefer the poll to be set up and then have an announcement across all servers so that PvPers start preparing where to gather etc.I just not want this to turn into dispute which server should be rather than what action to take towards enhancing PvP in EU.

Very good point!
/signed

Had great fun last night and I'm looking forward to next week. Its just silly watching the enemies melt in front of you, cant wait for my lil imps, that will be an awesome sight!

Anything /regen is awesome. You need to decide what kind of play style you want though. Stalkers tend to only hit and run. Now I know they can do more than that, and the good ones do, but generally stalkers tend to be a hit and run build. What I think your looking for is a scrapper.

Broad Sword is very good for damage but has slow recharge.

Martial Arts has good damage and good stuns.

Spines has fair damage but also slows and reduces regen.

I really suggest you go with /regen. It seems like it will fit you best from what you have said. Super Reflexes kinda sucks in PvP unless you can get perma Elude. Anything with Build Up or AIM, can easily get through an SR's defences. Regen has very good survivability. A good heal, dull pain and instant healing, make killing and /regen EXTREMELY hard, unless you have something like a rad/psi or rad/sonic defender, even then its not 'easy'. Now Im sure other people will say other things can kill a regen just as quick, but from my experience in zones, /regens always seem to be left standing.

The other thing you might want to look at is an ice/em tank. very good defence and good damage with stuns from the melee attacks.

Hope I've helped

What? ML has gone all German? Is she a secret Nazi deserter?

Ill send you a tell with my email when I get home. Hope all goes well tonight, Ill try and get out of work as early as possible, see if I can catch the last few missions with you guys.

Peace

Hey man, not sure whether I told you or not but I cant make Tuesday, I have a shift at work. Let me know when your going again and Ill make sue Im not doing anything else. I cant wait to do some more missions in this team. There is only one way to describe running missions in a team like this... Awesome!

I heard someone mention that they will hunting most of Sunday, but I'm not sure who sorry, so if your still interested ask on badgehunters. I should be able to give you guys a hand doing it, also I'm sure I could recruit a few more as I have a couple of friends who were interested but also missed out.

Ah cool, cheers for the info man.

Hmmm good point, although I am at nearly 50% recharge through my other set bonus'. Now sure it would make much difference. Does any1 actually slot for slow and how do they find it?

Late teens early twenties.

DooooooooM!

Sorry I just disapeared last night. Unexpected family members come round and I was forced to the pub. Many apologies for not saying goodbye and letting you know I was leaving.
