Hey Git! Gratz man! One of the few, but also one of the best, Doms I had the pleasure to team with

For PvP, Nrg/Elec is the best choice. Why? Lets take a look at the Primaries and Secondaries.
- Energy or Electric Melee
Almost every attack from the Nrg set is a single target, and Elec has some cone attacks. Obviously, the damage and the number of targets of an attack influence its endurance cost, so when you attack with a cone to hit only one opponent in PvP, you are wasting End. So, in this aspect, Nrg is better. PvP is about single target burst damage.
Lets look at the side effects: Nrg has a Disoriemt component, and Electric has End Drain. Elec's End Drain by itself is not enough to make your opponent's Endurance run off. But the Disorient component is gold in PvP.
IMO, Elec Melee is very good for PvE, specially with Elec Armor as Lightning Field also drains endurance over time and it has Power Sink. Nrg Armor has End Drain, so I can say theres some synergy between the sets.
- Energy and Electric Armor
Both have some cool mez protection, like end drain, tp fow, etc. And they dont require the Leaping Pool for KB protection, like Fire or Dark.
Keep in mind that every time you choose Energy Armor, you are choosing odds over reliability. Nrg is about defense, reducing the chance the enemy has of hitting you. That means they will hit you less, but you'll take full damage when they manage it. Elec Armor is a set based on resistance, so you'll always know how much you can take before hitting the floor.
Yes, the enemies' attacks will also miss sometimes if you have Elec, but keep in mind that mobs cant slot their attacks! In PvP, players have (or are supposed to) at least 2 ACC in each attack, along with access to powers like Build Up, Rage, Tactics, Focused Accuracy, etc. So, no matter how good the defense provided from Nrg is, you'll get hit. A lot. And so will the guy with Elec Armor, but he will stand longer because of his resists.
Also, Elec Armor provides resistance to Psi when Nrg has no defense against this type of damage.
- Conclusion
Energy Melee/Electric Armor is, in comparison to Elec/Nrg, better for PvP. I remember a toon called Clint Thrust from a while back who had these sets and was feared in RV.
If you still have any questions, just ask. -
Personally, I dont like you... I'm kidding! :P
If you have a 3 slotted Fly and slot both LR and Swift you'll have a boost of less than 10%. I think you could use these 4 slots somewhere else.
Besides, I believe that the powers from the Flight Pool will receive a 10% boost in speed in I8. -
I would like to thank veryone that showed up today! It was great! When I logged on there were not 2, but 3 full teams!
Oh! And sorry for being late. I organized this meeting and I was the last to arrive hehehe. Then again, thanks to everyone that stayed in RV and helped me and other players to get our Badges.
You guys rock! -

Nope, we need Consigileres. Its Gangbuster, not the other Family badge I forgot the name.
-
Nice, the more, the merrier!
The only problem is that theres almost no melee characters so far, which means the ones supposed to tank will die often.
We only have Promethean (me), Lethal Charge, the Ninjas from Shaolin Master, and some Zombies from DW. Come on Brutes and Stalkers! -
Since I cant uptade the original post anymore, this is the new list.
So now we have 9 people:
1 - Promethean. SS/Elec Brute
2 - Seventh Legion - Dark Blast/Kinetics Corrupter
3 - Grieve - Fire/Thermal Corruptor

Sunday 22nd @ 17.00hrs would be just about perfect timing for me.

I'll update the list again -

You where up late FU.
Gangbuster
Man/woman in black
Couch Potato (Formerly Media Junkie)
Then some Mayhem missions still to get.
Plenty of people still need Gangbuster so we can organise that soon.
Thanks to those who helped out.
I would suspect that with the halloween event about to kick off people will be pre-occupied with this so we will hole off untill the novelty of that wares off.
[/ QUOTE ]
Yeah, we should organize ourselves to get Gangbuster and Man in Black.
Gangbuster - I've just remembered, I got this Badge in Nerva, it's way easier than in St Martial.
Man in Black - I remember I got this Badge in a mishs filled with Shivans. If anyone can remember the contact, we coud make a team of 8 and do it.
And yes, you are right, I believe lots of poeple will be busy with the Halloween event (including me). So lets postpone this badges to November.
@Kiss of Death: I tried to find you, but you were not online -
I just wanna thank everyone that helped. We were able to get all the Badges required for Accolades (except Soul Taker) and also the Coldhearted one.
Now we just need to get Gangbuster :P -
So far we have:
- "Bad Luck" from @Dark Cobalt, with his alt Grievous Angel, for HPT
- "Exterminator" from @Dark Cobalt, with his alt Grievous Angel, for Born in Battle
- "Paragon of Vice" from @Dixon Hill, with his alt Crypt Knight, for Marshall
- "Couch Potato" from @Kiss of Death, alt unknown, for Headline Stealer
- "Coldhearted", we need to kill 250 Hellfrosts, for Demonic
- "Gangbuster", we need to kill 200 Marcone Bosses, for HPT
- Anything else we think
So check your badges, take a look at the list above and tell us what you need tonight.
Also, we'll give preference to the ones providing the Badges because there can be only 8 in a team.
See you all tonight! -
Yeah, I believe it would be better in the if we did it at night. Lets set to 19:00 initially.
-
All right guys, 7 people!
BTW, I meant this Sunday, 22th. I cant do it on the 29th as its election day around here.
The team is very good! Kin and Thermal! One Rad and we'll be in Heaven hehe -
[ QUOTE ]
Thats Paragon of Vice lined up and ready names Crypt Knight. Find me tonight
[/ QUOTE ]
WOW! I never thought I would get the 3 Badges so quickly! Thx!
Join us tonight to get the other 2 Badges too
BTW, we could also get Gangbuster (200 Marcone Bosses) and Coldhearted (250 Hellfrosts) today. Just a suggestion.
I'll be online at 9:30 -
Why are the Cages good if you cant KB your foes? Thats the main damage mitigation SS offers.

@ Dark Cobalt: Wow! Two Badges ready!I'll be online today with Promethean after 9pm or 9:30 (depends on the traffic). We could get these two Badges today if you want, and even call some of other people to get them too. I'll send you a tell by the time I log today.
[/ QUOTE ]
Fu - yeah fine to do it today - when I finally get out of work and in game! Will give you a shout when I get online tonight. And the more the merrier, if anyone else wants to come. I'll be on as Grievous Angel, then switching to Dark Cobalt when the mish is selected.DC
[/ QUOTE ]
Nice! I'll hold the mish for you today. I'll be online around 9:30pm as I said
It seems a lot of people wanna farm Gangbuster (inclunding myself). Masochist, Souly, and anyone that is interested too, we could schedule a time to do it. Probably in Sharkhead. -
Thx for you opinions.
I also picked 4 Power Pools and dont wanna lose them (Fitness, Flight, Speed, Medicine).
But I disagree about the 1st Patron Power. The single target ranged attack is really good and can help you with your attack chain in case you get a -recharge debuff -
Heyas!
I wanna team with some people in RV to defeat all the Heroes and get their Badges (I have none). So if you wanna join, plz post here your alts name and his AT so we can have a balanced team.
I was thinking about a team with at least 2 Brutes and 2 Corrs. We need 2 people to tank (in case one dies) and lots of debuffs. If you disagree with me, tell me plz.
What about this Sunday?
1 - Promethean. SS/Elec Brute
2 - Seventh Legion - Dark Blast/Kinetics Corrupter
3 - Grieve - Fire/Thermal Corruptor
4 - Xelina - Robotics/Force Field Master Mind
5 - Shaolin Master - Ninja/Force Field Master Mind
6 - Lethal Charge - SS/Elec Brute
7 - Daylight Warrior - Necro/Dark MM

PS: If we get more than 8 people, we'll have more than one team.
