Who rez'd this dinosaur of a thread?
At this point, yes people still use AE. Most of them are STILL farmers, the last nerf, custom critter, xp etc. hurt the RP community more, and still the farmers are the prevailing community. Farmers using custom critters were pretty much doing it wrong even in the begginings of the AE buzz.
Is this feature a failure for its intended purpose?
I would say yes, there are NOT a signifigant percentage of the RP community using it, is it a complete failure? No. Plain and simple, although I beleive it is a failure for its intended purpose, it is not without hope or fixing.
Is this feature an economic failure?
Quite simply, as it stands now, yes it is. Ouro receives more use then this does, simply becuase of its ability to allow people to get places relatively fast. Cimerora is incomplete, and is said to be in the works and up for expansion, and it receives large amounts more play then AE; which took up more time, and therefore money. Simply stated, it is, by most comparisons, a failure.
Stating that something is a failure is nothing really. It is a state which is easily changes and is constantly adapting to the time. Something can go from failure to success in the drop of a hat. Getting insulted over the truth of something being a failure is pretty stupid.
PvP is most likely one of the largest failures in this game, and, shoot me, its my favorite part. The devs have, prolly put more time into pvp zones, rules and revamps etc, then any other currently existing minority, and only to see the pvp community shrink in response to their changes. -

I agree that you probably wouldn't use HP much. I know I don't use bonesmasher almost at all on my EM/regen. But if it was a guaranteed placate (unlike the actual placate power, which is broken and useless if you've already attacked the target with anything except AS)....I might use it more.

I am reapplying for both Silit and myself (he can deal with it) to be Arena PVP reps. Thats right. Arena PVP. Basically we will just run the ladder to be on Freedom and have PVPEC titles while doing so, and probably help out with other stuff too because we are helpful.

The build is fine.
But in most pvp scenarios, it just won't be viable enough to stick. Even with the survivability, you are going to be running you're end into the ground without the help of the plentiful therms and elec toons.
You REALLY want to avoid Total Focus if you want to try to zone pvp, Shout + TF is a big "AS ME PLZ" Sticker. With the current build, I would suggest dropping it for conserve power, seeing as how it looks like you sorely need the end help.
The build will run you for a good 3.5-4.5 bil.
Switch Shriek and scream slottings, shriek is used most, so it deserves the most procs.
The build is horrible in this aspect. Screech is insanely useful, not having power boost in this build is comparable to not having it on a earth/energy dom. However redundant you think it is, a near-6 second stun coming from a blaster, is in most cases, 3-500 bonus points before most can react. Drop assualt, get man. slot a karma in it, drop veng, get PB.
Also, a thing, Power Boost is a pvp utility of life, it boosts many things besides mez's, it boosts run speed, which in zones, is nearly invaluable. It boosts ToHit, and using only tactics, its comparable to having a kismet slotted every time you hit it. -
Quote:Bah, yes I have that in my live build. Updated.Originally Posted by Rent_
A couple of things i'll mention after a quick look, only small things that won't matter much really but i guess you'll be the judge of that.
1) Swap the recharge Adjusted Targeting for To-hit buff/end in tactics
I actually have slots to spare, the slot on acro and HF are easy enough to get without giving up 11 seconds of recharge on hasten, and through that about, if My math is correct, 19 seconds on CP.Quote:Originally Posted by Rent_
2) Take a slot off hasten and CP, the 8 and 10 seconds difference isn't that important. Stick one slot on Acro for end redux and the other on Hoarfrost for a steadfast KB IO.
Advice takenQuote:Originally Posted by Rent_
4) Swap one of the rech IO's on BR for end redux. It's still perma with hasten down and 13 end every 30 secs is lame.
Kismet makes a small difference. I have actually tested it particularly and with PB running, which is something I beleive I am alone in doing, my tohit gets ground off harshly by DR. I beleive with this current build, subbing a kismet in where I have the steadfast in FA, the difference in tohit against a friend was arguably 1.3% higher. Keeping in mind that PB boosts tactic's tohit value by the total worth of 5.6 tohit and the fact that I am keeping around 1.66 global acc.Quote:Originally Posted by Rent_
3) Swap the blessing KB IO on CJ for kismet (100 mill saving)
I would also personally drop Flash for Snow and forget about the cheap purp bonuses and add those slots onto health for more HP and recovery but that, like a lot of other things is personal preference.
Flash Freeze is occasionally useful coming out of hiber, the placate proc firing is a bonus. Either way, my use of either power is limited in the first place.
The main reason for the hold proc is for fighting blasters. I lead with PB + Stun in the most cases, as If I use PB+Shriek+Screech they land at the same time. Only exceptions being blasters, which I try to emphisis damage. In which case using my stun in MOST cases isn't very useful as defiance defeats it almost entirely. Hold procs are there to provide some modicrum of disruption in those times.Quote:Originally Posted by Musey
Your attacks dont have enough accuracy. Your 2nd attack should have more range than the 1st one assuming you are hitting moving targets. Dont use hold procs when you have a stun.
I normally prioritize enemies by those running towards me, not away so the 1st is the one I have the most range in.
My first attack has 66% acc, second and third have 113% acc, adding tactics and the oft up PB, most of my attacks are ranging at 155% Chance to Hit PvE wise, If Acc is a problem in a fight, I often enough have the ability to chain PB+BU+Aim+PB for about 45 seconds of high tohit. From my experience in zones with this build, I consistently roll high 60-mid 70s against retsu and elude.
Is more particularly needed or is it more of a waste at this point?
Counter-Intuitive to a sonic/'s style of play. 3.3 second animation kills off alot of damage when you see the -res that gets factored in. Also Melee tends to be a place I avoid, hence the extreme slotting for + range in my attacks.Quote:Originally Posted by TrueDarkLord

Dear Greystar guy, I don't know you what so ever.
Killing 2-3 people, every 5 min, over the course of an hour is 24-36 chances an hour. This is, over my normal PvP period, 96 - 144. I average 1 drop at this rate once per session. -

Quote:Slash > Shatter Crit, I tinkOriginally Posted by Supermax
Sorry mac, but I think you're wrong. I tested widow's Slash vs bane's shatter a while ago, and they were very close....I think Slash may even be slightly stronger. And I've been playing my widow a lot lately, using both slash from hide and SA. SA is without any doubt stronger. I think if you do SA to placate to shatter, it would maybe do more because of SA's -20% res, but I don't have placate so I haven't tested it.

A lot of veteran players have returned to CoH for the holidays, and we're going to breathe some life into the arena pvp scene. There aren't many groups on the ladder just yet, but I've talked to some professional PvErs like Nurse Cathy and LYNCHMOB- about getting their teams together.
Current Ladder (updated weekly)
1) CBBATLH(AHBD) [8-0 record!]
2) Blacklisted
3) Meltdown
4) After School Special
5) Veritas
6) V.A.G

16) Conviction

35)Sally
36)Epsilon
NOTE: Normally Conviction would be 9th, but since they have forfeited a total of SEVEN official matches in favor of running spike/evade practices in a game where both these skills are completely irrelevant, they've earned the 16th spot on the ladder.
Good luck to all teams on the ladder! -
Can I just be seperate at leik # 36 pls? I am a team of one, however I lose to non-existant players on team Who is in place 35.
