They need to nerf the market and put a cap on recipe and Io's.

I thought you were mad because the devs are always nerfing things. Why would you ask them to nerf the market?

The topic is Doll is saying bye.

I know I'm new but I thought you weren't even allowed to make "bye" threads? Like, against forum rules or something.

First and foremost any of you flaming can pretty much kiss my shield wielding [censored]. I didnt make this post to be flamed or to be insulted. Just because Ive been PvPing a few months doesnt make it alright to say "you are a n00b" Ive PvPed in other games not just this one. So you can go blow that smoke up someone elses [censored].

Ive killed my fair share of stalkers, brutes, doms, etc. This is why the PvP community sucks as it is. People who flat out think they can insult people and then wonder why no one comes to play with them in PvP. Who'd wanna play with a jackass who has 0 respect for anyone elses views.

The stuff Im talkin about prolly will never be changed. OK so be it, but it still doesnt mean that the community as a whole couldnt address the issue and it sure as hell doesnt give you the right to mock and insult me for having my personal opinion. "Ohh he said somethin about my power, GET HIM!" Screw off.

Sorry guess Im just not in your league of "Uberness" and I refuse to sink to it. I play on the level. Obviously you dont, and thats why PvP is in the state that its in now.

Hell sorry for tryin to have a intelligent conversation with morons. This is my last post on the PvP forums due to the A-holes in here, but you can be damn sure I'll be seeing you in RV. Oh and be sure to list your name if you play on freedom just so I can shove those rude and senseless comments right back down your throat.

But, back on topic, my question is who does it hurt if the power in PvE is over/under powered.

[/ QUOTE ]

Anyone who chose the same AT but a different powerset, who then goes on to see the people with the broken power gaining money and xp a lot faster, with no real tradeoff/disadvantage.

[ QUOTE ]
Not every character can DPS like a fire/fire blaster.

[/ QUOTE ]


And because of this, they are given other things to compensate, such as more survivability, mezzes, useful secondary effects, etc.

SO WHAT if PSW is overpowered? If it's fun to play, LEAVE IT ALONE.

[/ QUOTE ]

Every MMO attemps to keep its powers somewhat balanced and I don't think the "BUT IT'S FUN!" argument has ever worked at any point, to keep an outlier power from being brought into line with other more standard powers.

[ QUOTE ]
One power doth not a set make.

[/ QUOTE ]

This is what I'm trying to say. I know that it sucks when you get a power changed, but if you are only playing a powerset for ONE particular power and any change to it makes you leave the set or even the game entirely, then maybe that powerset isn't for you.

Well changing a power for the worse never goes over well and I could understand how that would be annoying.

But I'm just trying to say that it looks like only that power lost out on damage, they buffed the damage on all the other powers in that set.

What is the advantage to going /energy with earth as opposed to /elec?

I know energy gets powerboost but is that helpful with the way holds work now and on a non-defense armor/non-aid self build?

It always kills me when people list the one nerf to a powerset (psi shockwave) but don't list the buffs that are going along with it....

Psionic Dart: Increased this power’s damage scale from .6 to 1.32, increased its recharge from 1.5 seconds to 6 seconds and increased its endurance cost from 3.12 to 6.86.

Mind Probe: Increased this power’s damage scale from 1.64 to 1.96, increased its recharge from 8 to 10.

Telekinetic Thrust: Increased this power’s damage scale from .8 to 1.64, increased its recharge from 6 to 8 and decreased its endurance cost from 10.2 to 8.53.

Mental Blast: Increased this power’s damage scale from 1 to 1.64, increased its recharge from 4 to 8 seconds and increased its endurance cost from 5.2 to 8.528.

Psychic Scream: Increased this power’s damage scale from 1.04 to 1.3, increased its recharge from 12 to 16 seconds and increased its endurance cost from 11.9 to 15.18.

Psionic Lance: Increased this power’s damage scale from 2.76 to 3.56, increased its recharge from 12 to 20 seconds and increased its endurance cost from 14.4 to 18.51.

Geez, I have played a lot of MMOs, but this is the first time I think I have seen someone quit playing a game due to a change in one single power/spell.

Yeah, I would hate to get hit with one of those devastating Defender snipes.....oh, wait, I probably wouldn't even notice...

I'm wondering why this is in the Defender forums?

When the devs were talking about powerset proliferation, they said that 2 powers they couldn't really port over due to thematic reasons or whatever was empathy for villains and poison for heroes.

Because of this they gave villains pain dom instead of empathy. Which means I don't think villains will ever get empathy and I don't think heroes will ever get pain dom...

Wow your bra falls off?!?!?! really that's the best you can do?

I wish for the time when attention whores tried harder.

LOL!

I haven't really PVP'ed much yet, but I would love to be a part of it if there is this much entertaining drama surrounding it.

[ QUOTE ]
Where can we find some middle ground?

[/ QUOTE ]


A different game?

From my personal experience I just find that if you are on red side it is pretty dead but if you just pay attention to BMT, you will find plenty of blue side action.

A well-built, heavily-IO'ed /dark with Tough and that +end proc in dark regeneration is crazy good.

*rolls rad/son and pretends it is difficult to solo AVs with*

I think Silverado is just mad that others seem to be soloing AV's with NW's while he hasn't been able to.

He would rather use easy-mode-AV builds like bots/traps lol.

It's ok buddy, not everyone can push non-AV-focus builds to their limits and accomplish something.

[ QUOTE ]
Thanks, Hrist, you hit the nail on the head.

But so long as you're having a blast, you're a good player any way!

If simply having fun makes you a good player then what is the point of all this?

Wow, this server has a lot of drama!

I think I picked the right one, lol.

Storm is -not- the best 1v1 mastermind build.

Storm is absolutely the best anti-Mastermind build, though. Virtually nothing in MMs really can deal with storm. Traps -could- place its -def away from the stormie, so that it doesn't get hurricaned. This does not really work in practice. Poison could weaken hurricane (and powerboost + weaken is very powerful) but even still it does not gimp the mass knockback, whch ruins your pets' dps and in the end storm wins the war.

I've never straight up -dueled- GV's necro/storm but I've fought against it in team matchups where the teams were roughly equal except for his necro/storm and my mercs/psn. The necro/storm completely dominated that match, even though I stayed on him and kept weaken on him pretty much the whole time. I just spent so much of my time knocked around or stunned by tornado that occasionally weaken would drop and I'd be -tohit janked for ever. The big thing that eventually happened is that my pet recharges eventually couldn't keep up with the necro/storm's dps and I died.

Regarding /pain MMs, they are invincible more or less if WoP is up and they have even competent slotting. Take out their minions with AoE if you can, or just ST burst them down. You want to try and get them down to 1-2 pets if you can. If you can do that, they'll be forced to run or phase. If this sounds too difficult, let me tell you - it is too difficult.

[/ QUOTE ]


Yeah, I was only really thinking about MM vs. MM for /storm.


I think for dueling anything else I'd actually rather be /poison or maybe a /pain with taunt.

just a damge output comparison, unfortunately I cannot relate to you what a well built fire/kin damage feels like on recieving end from a PvE point of view.. anyone wann throw guesses out there as top why? lol

[/ QUOTE ]


PVE and PVP use different damage values now, so using that as a comparision is not very bright.

[/ QUOTE ]

hehe

So picky.. yes the damage values are diff now, from what I hear,( haven't PvPed sinced they PvP nerfs )

but while they are diff now, my examples of bein on recieving end of Fire/kin dam come from pre-nerf.. so have merit.. When I PvPed on regular bases the only diff 'tween PvP zone and PvE zone was "thinking" unpredictable enemies known as players.. all the powers worked the same.

So assuming I was comparing different base damage values is "not very bright".

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, that's true, the best way to compare DPS on a fire/kin troller vs. your elec/shield brute is to use anecdotal reports from what a fire/kin did to your /elec brute in pvp a few issues ago. I BOW TO YOUR SUPERIOR INTELLECT.


YOU WIN!

When did this turn into a "which one wins pvp" discussion?

My not-so-IOed Dark/Shield Brute can drop Shield Charge for around 720 damage to whatever is around, more if there's -res around.

That's a serious AoE to spit out every forty seconds or so. That being said, he doesn't hold a candle to a good Corr or Troller build.

[/ QUOTE ]

Mine follows up that 720 smash based SC with a 720 nrg based Lightning Rod. Very little if anything survives the combo. While I greatly appreciate the damage boosts that trollers have gotten over the past few years I can't agree with this. If a brute can't hold a candle to troller then it's only because his hands are full with all the killin ;P

True the troller efortlessly holds and widdles the whole room down, but the brute cleared the next 3 rooms while that troller did so. lol

And Corrs damage can only compare once room drops below half damage.. been there with my best corrs and best brutes.. 5-6 attacks into +3 lvl group if my corr is still alive they can finally start tripping scourge.. however my elec/shield brute has already fired 2 attacks by then and the rooms all dead, so sorry no scourge for you today

[/ QUOTE ]


Sorry, but have you ever SEEN a good fire/kin troller?

My guess is no...
