But then I'm still annoyed that you have to pay to place your own personal items...Why do I have to pay to stick a gun I stole off of a Rikti to my base wall?

Ah well you see..... its the display case your paying for, not the rifle, cos ya nicked that so it was free

And the license to have decommissioned weaponry on public display

noisomely vile apparel

One point many people seem to have forgotten about the Elec/Elec in this isn't just the -End drain capacity. It also has some excellent holds, Shocking Grasp, Tesla Cage and Shocking Bolt are all excellent holds and Electric Fence isn't a bad Immob either.

This means you can take apart small mobs piecemeal and pick them off at your leisure.

Voltaic Sentinel is also your friend, while doing this giving you some extra damage while you hold and sap. The only weakness I have really found with mine, is it's very tough to dent GMs and AVs easily and you'll need a good team for that.

died, very suddenly.

which was still

Really surprised everyone

Great idea!!!

If you're looking for some entertainment for this event I'd be more than willing to offer the services of RadiOlympus - several of our DJs are ardent CoX players and we'd be really happy to help out. To learn more about us, check out my sig link

See you there

It is rather fine

Definitely worth a Creative Genius nom from me

Good stuff. Impressed with the movie

Never encountered this problem myself. The only thing I can think is that sometimes if you have anything in a square that the doorway connects to, it won't permit you to place the room. Also if you've run out of space you can re-jig the space in which you're working by going to "Upgrade Plot" option, and shifting the layout of the base.

Great story mate. Really good coming of age tale.

Has anyone mentioned the uber ranged nova you have too? One big melee hit and thunderous blast drops most sqishies.

My TB is stacked for DMG & ACC but still doesn't always get her, but it's very often my best chance of victory.

hm, she wasnt using PFF when you fire it, was she?
I got my TB slotted 3 dmg, 3 rech, and with bu/aim i dont think i ever missed a squishy with it. Its a great attack when youre duelling, as if it only hits 1 target it only drains 70 end rather than the full 100, allowing you to finish her off with ease.

Also with elec epic, remember you got access to 3 holds (2 ranged + 1 melee), make her burn through BFs, even with acro, 2 holds should be enough to hold her. In case she IS usin acro and you feel lucky to try it, you can try getting in havoc punch or charged brawl for their chance to sleep. It'll knock down acro and can use a hold or thunderstrike after..

3rd is your end drains, unless they spam conserve power as crazy, you can really hurt a blaster with end drains. Of course the 2 most efficient ones require you to be in melee and have a fairly long animation, but if you can get it off, its worth it. Once theyre down to 0, its easy to keep em there.

Last but not least, insps are your friends.. as said before, pop BFs, purps, greens, whatever.. just make sure you stay in the fight

I'm not sure what PFF is, but I haven't considered slotting more recharges into TB... I'll have to give that some thought, thanks.

Chaps and Chapesses,

Many thanks for your responses here, and to be honest, there's not much there I've not tried myself - In a way that's reassuring because it's clear there's no obvious magic bullet On the other hand I could just be totally pants at PVP

Maybe I need more practice

Guys, just wanted to say thanks to everyone who turned up and made our party such a great event. It was rammed and went on long into the night. There were still loads of people partying at 2.30 when I crashed. Seems our base is rather popular (Devs, can we have mirror balls in the lighting section please?)

Huge thanks to Dawnrazor and Proximity of Evolution Radio for the music (Dawn especially got it on with a fire imp... bet he woke up this morning with a burning sensation ) but most of all to you guys for making it a really excellent party (and big thanks to Snow for the shouts here and on the Femmes)

Luffs to you all

Scarlet

Damn Cap, best of luck for the future. You'll be missed mate.

thanks for the kind comments. I've got a few other pieces here but I tend not to write chronologically, but they do feature the same characters, so I hope you enjoy them too

Gratz on swinging home the award - good work

[/ QUOTE ]

Thanks... really chuffed and surprised

wow thanks to those of you who voted for me. I'm touched to win the Creative Genius award

Bump... just to remind you good folks. See you all on Friday I'm hoping a good proportion of the time is gonna be spent in Shock Tactic's own base on our very own dance floor with Evolution Radio spinning the tunes courtesy of Dawnrazor and Proximity ( www.heroesradio.com )

Hope to see you there

Ok I've been getting my behind handed to my on numerous occasions by an En/En blaster with Total Focus. I'm an Elec/Elec/Elec and we are both 50s (Scarlet Shocker and Proximity if you know either toon) and I am constantly undone by that. Is there anything that can be done about it?

Guys, I'm very pleased to announce that Shock Tactics are 1 year old, and to celebrate next friday (18th) we are gonna be having a party from 8 til late on Defiant. Everyone's invited so come join us in Pocket D and of course, Evolution Radio will be running the entertainments, and DJ Zero has promised a free bar!

See you there
