I agree that having TF in the tray sometimes is a detriment as you get caught trying to follow with melee instead of spamming ranged attacks, however power thrust to total focus makes it worth it in my opinion. Hitting TF and having them hiber only to die when the damage hits from activation is a great feeling.

you need to damage proc as much as possible

My new grav/electric spec just got uber-Pwninated by blaster. So I retract my earlier statement and roll fire/fire.

Sorry cant answer you question, however I was under the impression the best thing to slot fluffy with is 2-hit debuffs as its chill of the night is auto-hit so you will always get full advantage from the SO/IOs.

Lots of great information and tactics in this thread, thanks to all of you that contributed your strategies. I have always had a hard time getting merits for the good stuff and now I have some options to try!

Hi all,

I just rolled my dark/ninja stalk and as I got up to lvl 8, It seems one (or more) of my powers give an inconsistent fear effect to the PvE opponents. I was not aware of this component, and I think Assasin's Eclipse is probably the power that is doing this (the big bad azzz skull is whats giving me that idea). I looked in both City of Data and power info in game but do not see the fear effect listed. Is this the demoralize thing (and if so all sets are granted this effect?)

Thanks in advance!

I think grav is under-rated.

Pros
great knockback, cage, pet, -movement

Cons
tohit rolls against smashing, activation times

Note: the cage is great in duels esp if you have aidself.

Also doms electric assault -end is overlooked as static discharge is your -rec power, and if you can go with the mu you are a surprisingly good drainer.

Note: I have grav/elec so I am biased, and I could not go with Mu (although I would love to) because hiber and waterspout are so pimp.

edited because it makes no difference and was not addressing topic

I just want to tell the OP that spines/fire/blaze would be an amazingly fun build. FE for your ranged attacks can turn pew pew into QQ

Most consider it the fourth best primary for blasters (psi/sonic/fire).

However I am making one because the powerboost will jack up the -def (plus cosmic burst stun) and theoretically after a powerboosted nutrino bolt---->x-ray eyes defensive sets should be neutered.

Dam I thought that AC shitee talking was because some uber-teem transfered from Protector and pwnitized the Freedomers...

However now it seems it was freedom vs freedom

If they name is taken when you transfer you become a generic right? So then you buy name change token or does it give you one when you are generic-ed?

I'd go psi, just because corruptors can't get it yet.

OP,

This is a very well written post that hits home for those of us who truly enjoy PvP in this game. I never even thought about bounty as I am mostly an RVer when in zone, however thinking about this, it gets my goat. Not to totally derail the topic, but what really pisses me off is the devs have not done crapola to change bounty (something that really needs a total reworking), yet they put their hands in the PvP system and we got heal decay, travel suppression, borked mez, and universal resists...

By that logic if they were to "re-Work" the bounty system, instead of SO's we would probably get a token that we can use to frag ourselves in our dark tunnel.

(SIDE NOTE: I do like a lot of the PvE changes we have recieved due to the devs hard work and I think IO and PvP IOs are great)

maybe explosive strike proc can save corruptor energy blast?

Make a spines/fire with blaze epic and phase shift.

Also of note the Mu pet is best in the game, it actually has a targeted heal and looks like a futuristic vampire. However for PvE on doms I always go GW for SDrain.

Why is he taking a crap on top of a building?

Best way is to not team and zone and kill steal. Sad but true...

I like Psi/EM best, however I think sonic/EM should get a little 'shout out' (im so lolzy) because powerboosted stun is full of win.

Have fun fire/fire is my favorite toon ever (can also PvP great if you take phase)

And just to throw in my 2 cents on why the toggle for corruptors changes to regen in PvP, imagine getting travel suppressed every 4 seconds...

Play with players of higher skill, and as others have already said, don't get mad when defeated.

Make sure you can realize when someone is in tier 9 or has popped an accolade.

In most situations make sure you have hiber/phase/or uber tier 9 for escape purposes.

Although I think it is the stupidest thing in the game, the flight pack works when phase/hiber T9 is not recharged yet.

Understand the deficiencies of your build and do the best to cover those with inspirations.

RV LOLZone play makes you better in arena.

Understand what toggles are necessary against a certain opponent, this is most important when heat xed.

Sometimes an all out frontal assault is not the wisest course of action.

In order to PvP on a consistant basis transfer (or make a new) toon an Freedom.

I think your spines/fire/pyre will be the most effective if you drop the flying part. I have a fire/fire/pyre that is the most fun and often wonder if impale would make the ranged scrapper effectiveness off the cheezeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
