    All Kheld STF

    khelds are a trap. make a veat and go vigilante with it.
  4. that new contact arc told me i did it.

    EDIT: I did mean to kill cath but then i heard he was on global agenda and figured that was punishment enough.
  5. depends on where you plan on PvPing. I would say if you're planning on pvping in freedom, with everyone else, you're probably better off with a fotm mind/fire dom or something of that matter. however if you're doing it on basically any other server where pvp isn't srs bsnz, it doesn't matter as much what you choose, so long as its pvp built. for instance, I can think of 2 people on triumph that pvp with their mind/ice doms that, while not topping the charts for leet damage, still are pretty viable. also, anything that isn't a warshade will pvp, okay, not great, but okay.

    except for dahjee's sonic/sonic, that thing is crazy good.

    Buff vs Debuff

Since on a fast team anything shy of a boss isnt gonna live long enuff for the debuff to last anyway debuff the bosses. The easy way to do this is make a targetcustomnext macro that you can edit per mission pretty darn easy. like say yer goin into a malta group mission. your macro would be like /macro Boss "targetcustomnext gunslinger$$targetcustomnext commander$$target customnext zeus" this will allow you to hit the gunslingers, tac ops commanders, and zeus titans first without having to search them out. you could bind it to your number pad if you wanted to and have like numpad8 be the target and numpad 4,5,6 or whatever be enervating field, rad infection, and lingering rad. (just example, thats whats comfy for my hand). i suggest the macro instead of the bind so you can edit at the start of each mission. but itll let you pick out the boss fast, debuff him hard, and the fast moving team is moving that much faster. ive played both debuffers and buffers to 50 several times so far and my own opinion is that i prefer debuffs. the reason behind it is that players do quite a bit to their own toons already to make themselves awesome. set bonuses, and just plain skill that sometimes buffs are overkill. like putting forcefields on a SR scrapper who is already capped out for defense seems a waste. but debuffing the resists of the mob that scrapper is attacking is win/win. I hope that trick here helps you enjoy rad. cuz its really a fun set.
    just a note: if im understanding you correctly, this is way too much work. having to do a macro before each mission is more work than, I atleast, would wanna do especially when its easier to just normal target but to each their own i guess.

    the biggest difference i've come to is, obviously, your playstyle and who you play with. For me, I can't stand just buffing and attacking and prefer to debuff and attack since its more active. also, i tend to team with more experienced players so most of the survivability buffs, like ff sonic and emp, isn't nearly as helpful as say a cold or dark.

    7. What lines will they not cross?
    8. Would they take a life?
    9. Would they sacrifice their own life for what they believe in?
    10. Would they give up being a hero?
    I'm looking for something a little more than the standard "we fight evil" and "beat up bad guys" kind of answers. I'll be following up with another set of questions later.


    Yes, I am working on something (hopefully) fun.

    And no, it won't be something with Minis in it.
    in the mind of sleet
    1.the amounts of h0's and boat's one possesses
    2.Do it for the lulz
    3.would go all the way
    4.glad jav proc or free cyberz
    5.duh

    since he said early next week, i.e. now, it prompted my question of whether he fixed this, along with the other 3 tfs (that i know of atleast) that are also broken.

    ... just happens to be a bit contradictory. Unless you define "amazing" as lasting more than ten seconds before some hypercaffeinated fifteen year old on crack wipes you out in three hits.
    fair enough, i misused the word build. In the first one I meant anyone going to pvp with a pve build is going to get owned. in the second i meant that you power selection and AT doesn't really matter so long as you build for pvp. as tam said, being triumph, you aren't going to need a 20 bil inf psy/em to do well in pvp, no one is gonna have that hardcore of a build and use it on triumph(well atleast now anyway)

    at the same time, i don't mind showing up every once in a while to pvp stuff. I've even tried to make a pvp toon (mental/sonic blaster), but lvling him became annoying. Stuff that's really good at single target takes a long time to solo up to 50. my poor little blackbird is still lvl14.
    anyone that goes into anything pvp with a pve build is going to get wrecked, plain and simple. and yea leveling a pvp toon is horrible, which is why most pvpers get them PLed up although that is dead now too but i digress.

    but you don't need a specific build to do amazing in arena/zone. yea psi and sonic are the best bets but fire and archery can work as well.

    my point is that since i13 took basically all skill out of pvp, so long as you know the rules and build for them, pretty much anything can pvp ok. yea some stuff does it better than others, but nothing that you'll find on triumph anyway. some of the good things about being a phailpvp server is that we haven't had to deal with smack talking in a while and its not hardcore at all. i mean anything short of warshades and some defenders, built correctly, it doesn't matter what you pvp with(on triumph).

    ya know im slowly becoming as apathetic to this as tam is. if you get an event going i'll gladly join up, sure. but i still don't think promoting pve in a pvp zone is going to encourage/help pvp at all because the system is so different and people will get pissed of when, as too be expected, a pve toon will get ganked in a pvp scenario and then chalk it up as them sucking or something like that when that more than likely isn't the case.

    he means slows aren't as effective and you really won't see em much.

    They said 'every at is getting a new powerset in GR', not a primary, a powerset. That includes DP and DS which will be available to many only when GR comes out unless they preorder like some of you did:

    Tankers, Scraps, Stalks, Brutes: Kin Melee

    Blaster, Corrs, Defs: DP

    MMs: DS

    Controllers, Doms: Electric Control.
    would much rather have therm/fire than dp

    this. you get the full 30% at level 20 iirc.
