Are there going to be Free For All PvP servers? I know a lot of MMoRPGs in the past have attempted this and it's either a hit or miss for the players.

With the addition of Villains being able to enter Paragon City and Heroes able to enter the Rogue Isles, it would make sense to actually have FFA PvP servers and possibly safe zones or safe areas.

I'm not asking for opinions on whether or not this is a good idea, although I don't mind discussions about it either. I just want to know if whether or not the Devs have mentioned FFA PvP servers.

Thanks!

Got a DM/WP Brute up to 33 and it's been an enjoyable ride.

I didn't think DM was this good when I started the toon. Honestly, I just started a DM Brute because I thought Siphon Life would fill the gap in WP, which has no self heal powers. At around level 25 or so, I started slotting damage into Siphon Life instead of heals and treated it like it's an offensive power. Quite amazing I must say. I'll probably slot Siphon Life with a combination of Damage/Heals along with some Accuracy and Recharge later down the line though.

I just think DM is the perfect power for Brutes. Fast recharge, pretty low endurance usage and extremely quick animation, with exception to Shadow Maul. I really wish DM had a powerful AoE, simply because Soul Drain gives more +dmg buff the more foes it hits, but the downside is that I don't have a good AoE to make full use of that huge damage buff.

I was going to respec out Shadow Punch but it's really nice to have...and I really don't know if I should respec it out or not. As of right now, my chain consists of Shadow Punch, Smite, Siphon Life and Midnight Grasp; it's definitely a complete chain and it sure does stack the -tohit debuff on quickly.

So, should I respec out of Shadow Punch? I don't think I can get a complete chain without Shadow Punch and its quick recharge =|

I believe Strength of Will's recharge rate cannot be enhanced, right? Although, I guess this doesn't really matter since its recharge rate is still a lot quicker than most other god-mode tier 9's.

I would recommend Elec Armor as well.

I have a Force Feedback chance for +recharge proc in my Hurricane power and I'm just wondering how it's going to work.

Hurricane is a toggle power, so does that mean the proc has a chance to happen once every 10 seconds?

Does this mean that Hurricane has to actually be hitting a foe in order for the proc to happen at all?

or...

Can I just stand there with Hurricane toggled on and the proc will have a chance to happen once every 10 seconds like other toggle powers?

Honestly, I'd recommend a Corruptor or a Defender and MAYBE a Blaster for PvP.

Yes, Stalkers can definitely scrap. You have 2 guaranteed critical-strikes, from Hide and Placate, which means that you wont have to spend as much time on Bosses as a Scrapper would. It also means that you can take out annoying mobs a lot quicker, such as Sappers, and not have to worry about a thing.

Your health is weaker than a Scrapper but that's about it, everything else is pretty close. I do admit that it's a bit more difficult during early levels of gameplay, but you should be fine once you get to the early 30s.

Like I've said in another post:

I agree with the thread title, Dark Armor does suck and it cannot tank ANYTHING. NONE.

Edit: And I really do mean NOTHING when I said NONE.

I agree, as much as people try to sugar coat this matter, Dark Armor blows.

Anyone that actually made Dark Armor decently good to use can probably put the same time/effort into ANOTHER build and get way better results than they did with Dark Armor.

Regen is certainly more preferable because it pretty much has 2 god-mode powers, Instant Healing and MoG, granted MoG is pretty short, however on a regen just a couple of seconds equate to a lot of health regenerated.

That being said, I have seen a lot of successful /WP Stalkers out there. That nice smash/lethal resistance along with decent regeneration is pretty powerful.

Prinny_God, your build may be good when the toon is actually at level 50.

However, the order in which you get your powers are pretty strange...

> You got Lightning Field at level 2. What are you going to do with that at such a low level? It's a MAJOR endurance hog and drawing that much aggro to you at level 2 is going to get you killed, mainly because you have pretty much no damage mitigation.

> Let's look at your possible attack chain for the first 30 levels(not counting vet powers): Brawl, Smite, Siphon Life, Boxing. FOUR low-damage powers for an entire 30 levels? That's going to be a painful ride. Yea, you have Lightning Field, yes it contributes a lot of damage over time during an entire mission, but you're still not going to be able to kill anything in a reasonable amount of time. It's going to be hard for you to take full advantage of Fury due to your low-damage attacks. You're also going to take forever to kill 1 Boss, let alone solo AV's like you planned.

> You have all those damn toggles, INCLUDING Tough and you pushed Stamina off till level 30? If anything, get Stamina at level 20 or 22 at the latest.

Don't worry, it's not just you though. Other people putting builds up in this thread are having the same problem with build-order. One person up there got Boxing at level 18, Combat Jumping at 22 and then Tough at level 30? What's the reason behind that? Why not just Boxing at level 18, Tough at 22 and Combat Jumping at 30? I understand getting Boxing early because you may need a filler for your attack chain, but there's no logical reasons for pushing Tough off till level 30 when you can simply get it at level 22, right after you get Stamina and can handle another toggle.

Edit: By the way, why did you get Combat Jumping? You're using Ninja Run for a travel power...is Combat Jumping just there because you don't know what other powers to get?

I want to max it out and see how far red it can go. Don't mind me if I start TROLLINZ!

Came back to CoH a couple weeks now and notice this red bar, used to be green, under my name. I have also seen posts where people are crying about their reputation.

So what the hell is this exactly? If I'm at -140 rep, does that mean that these 140 people hate me so much that they had to "ARGHH MUST DISAPPROVE POST!" ?
