Fire is tons better than WP. All WP has going for it is +HP and RttC, which drops when mezzed. Other than that, its resistances and defenses to anything but smash/lethal aren't all that wonderful, while Fire has solid resistance to everything except cold as well as one of the best self-heals in the game.
in a melee fight, WP is better. That's excluding RttC, because it can be assumed every good player has mez or mez procs.
Aidself is basically like healing flames.
With 4 numinas/2 miracles (getting to 100.03 heal and 97.64 rech)
HF
Heal = 53%
Rech = 20.2 seconds
Aid self
Heal = 41.6%
Rech - 10.1 seconds
HF can't be interrupted, but i never have a problem getting off aid self unless there is a toggle on me, inwhich case KoB just drops it.
WP has more health, more regen, same S/L resistence (still most common) and more defense.
Their defense is usually only around 25%, but that is still useful against a lot of people.
I always see Fire tanks running away or kiting like crazy waiting for HF, never see a WP tank do that. Actually sometimes they just sit under AP and nobody can kill them unless they get a heavy or a friend.
Fire is squishy, it was my first 50 pvper and *could not* preform as some other brutes i saw. I even looked for a good fire brute to get some help from to find most of them switched to something else, or quit like everyone else.
Even on a tank, contsantly taking damage, a 50% heal every 12 seconds or so is not enough.
I say 12 because i hit there with mine after a lot of recharge and hasten, it's not even that for most.
+HP is king, and fire is way behind WP.
And i didn't even factor in WP's SoW, atleast it has a tier 9. -

Yea he has 2 50 interrupt IOs. I didn't think i had much lag that night.

I had an MA for melee dueling and i put everything i had into him. If i had done the same to a katana/broad sword/claws/dark he'd dominate in every melee fight. But MA has nothing going for it. The stun isn't good enough even with megalomaniac. I'll admit that he had an advantage in melee vs ranged, with EC's burst/stun and cranes KB (enhanced it got a few now and then) but in a melee, others are superior. The only reason he was any good at all was because he was a regen and i knew how to use and slot it for dueling. I still laugh when someone starts with IH.
Your main isn't MA and you don't do melee duels, i know what i'm talking about. -

If you did that, but stopped using your current strategy of making a separate post for every single thought you have, I'm willing to bet your post count would actually go down.
I'd turn off post count if i could. I used to think it meant something until i saw some of the posts people were putting out there.
Barely any of mine are pointless. I get my opinion across in everyone, and try to back it up a little.
I use barely because i don't feel like checking every post i've ever made. -
pretty sure i go KoB/punch/haymaker/punch/hurl/punch repeat on my brute
the end is kinda fuzzy as i don't use him much.
it would be different with fossilize and i actually start with punch/brawl/jab to get fury sometimes. -
I was fighting an ele/ scrap and somehow they were interrupting aidself. I was timing inbetween attacks and nothing, i even backed up at two different points to heal and it was interrupted.
Does chain induction interrupt aidself? I got aidself in about twice, because i thought it may be chain induction, and then healed before it was about to come up in their chain. But the match is fuzzy and it could have been anything else.
Any ideas? -

I don't think so... it's longer than durations against players but it's nowhere near what it'd be in PvE or old-style PvP. At least that's the case for my MM pets...
MM pets have resistence to confuse, other pets don't.
Imps troller was fighting vinces dark cor. He had the Mu pet and dark pet confused the whole match and i only saw him throw confuse maybe 3 times. it looked like it was PvE mez time. -

Rage, hurl, fossilize, Knock out blow. Repeat.

just don't use energy transfer when your health is low, i see too many brutes and tanks die like that

Quote:tank has some good burst, KoB and fossilize. But even scrapper has better burst. Scrappers do way more damage.Originally Posted by Antigonus
I'd go with Frosticus on this. I have both a Fire Tank and Scrapper, and the Tank is far better than the Scrapper. Greater survivabilty and as good or better damage thanks to Rage.
i wouldn't go fire, it's so squishy, WP atleast has some +hp. -
Quote:The game was built to allow freedom, and we're using that. That's why you have options in the arena and why you have a choice to use inspirations in a fight.Originally Posted by macskull
Hey, you read it. That's a win in our book. Refusal to actually get out of your little box and play the game as fully as it was meant to be played is only a sign to us that we shouldn't bother holding your opinions on the subject as worthy of our attention.
Also, the "advice" most of us would give to a dueler would be something like "Don't be a tard, use inspirations and kite." -
dont build that yet, i'm no expert on fire but you have fireball instead of flares.
-
katana is superior in any melee fight because of divine avalanche and because of the -res proc it can put in basically anything.
-
For something to be fishy it has to sound untrue. I can imagine a bunch of newbie stalkers throwing sharks on freedom.

Quote:what about disembowel?Originally Posted by DimMak
Money no object and focus on survivability. I'm not that good on mids and don't have the patience that some of you guys have or the skill. My only request is to include the attack chain parry>slash>parry>head splitter...etc. I appreciate the help.
Is this for dueling or warzone? I could make one for dueling -
Nah, I'm just going stop posting here so it dies. Talk amongst yourselves if you wish too.

Quote:man i can't imagine my post count if i just came into random threads to laugh at what people say. Actually i can, and it's kinda around yoursOriginally Posted by Frosticus
I laughed twice due to this thread. Will check back again for future laughs.

Server is spelled wrong in your sig
And justice isn't spelt wrong, or atleast that's how i have and will continue to spell it. -
Wait should a squishy even be able to resist a power boosted, domination power push? Maybe if they made the KB animation faster, but when you depend on something like that and it doesn't work at all, that's bad, espically when a squishy resists it. KB is king and that's what needs fixing.
Go into a stock match, there isn't any Sudden death.
I love the no inspirations, because there have been a lot of times a newbie dueling pops a bunch of inspirations, i usually pop them too, funny part is i collect large ones for my SGs base. So when they pop them i use 4 large reds and rip them apart.
A real dueler doesn't start until his opponent is ready, whoever set up that match and started beating on you shouldn't represent duelers. There arn't many people like that on justice.
To fix the above problem could we get it where everyone needs to click some "yes" button to start the match? Or you can look at the rules before you join? -

You can try to single duelers out, but the only difference is we like to play our game a little differently. I like to play super smash bros with items off, and so do real tournies with the best players, because items bring in chance. I'm not saying my way is better, it's preference. And if these apply to us at all they also apply to people on your side, as both have bad players.
Some are good at dueling and others warzone. I don't think any of you would be held back to give advice to a dueler even though it's not your speciality.
I somewhat agree with 10, but just don't get angry at all, there are arenas and your taking the risk by not using them (now that they are convient).
The game is coded to allow freedom. If it had dueling rules then all of you would be angry, this way, with no real rules in bound, there is freedom for both sides to play as they want too.
And these joke threads are getting old. -
it also depends on the primary. If your Broadsword or MA, regen is still better but Fiery embrace will help your burst a lot.

since when? Last I remember, no vet powers were allowed in arena at all.
