Quote:Are there STILL people who think confuse messes up xp/inf? Jeez how long ago did they change that? As long as you do even 10 percent dmg to the NPC's you get MORE xp than 10% is even worth, so trust me, if anything confuse gets you MORE xp if the enemy you kill has taken even 2 damage from a confused NPC.Dang I won't do too good on inf/h due to the confuse. How about critters/hour? That's what counts for purple farming anyway
.
Seriously, they changed that a while ago.. -
Quote:Ok you know if you really want to get badges, NOBODY is ever in BB or WB, almost never in WB. If you want badges in WB go in the morning not at peak times, same goes for RV.THIS is why I don't pvp. Who needs this? How can you learn to pvp when all the illiterates want to do is score easy victories. Let me know when you're on Freedom full time. Whitty and I need to work on some badges.
Of course you apparently havn't stepped in a pvp zone in the past 4 months otherwise you'd have known that... -

Dude holy crap I thought I was helping by typing out this whole thing and by the time I posted Lith and Mac had already told him everything.
Damn you two -
Quote:Seems like a lot of people recommend Regen WP and Nin, but I am not sure why.
Nin is a Defense set, and thus it seems like a so so idea. It has a good heal and the tier 9 seems great.
WP has all around stuff, but the RttC is an offensive toggle, so the regen from it won't really help most of the time.
Regen is regen, and on a stalker it seems like getting burst damage will kill you outright
Electricity is a resist based set, so you can get it to 60% or so easily, but you can also get 20+ def with IO sets, and 55% with Shadow Meld. Now add in a self heal, recharge and an endurance/regen buff. That seems like a pretty strong combo, so why does this not work?
Is Hibernate a better option than Shadowmeld?
Trust mac. Always. Forever.
Now, it seems like you don't fully understand pvp so let me give you some tips.
In i13 they added DR which makes IO bonuses for defense VERY weak. it is impossible to softcap anything besides nin and SR or even get close to doing this with IOs. You can barely get a 15-20 percent bonus with DR on without completely gimping yourself.
Defense is good, but blasters Aim/BU will hit through most of the time, but this is only 10 seconds. This leaves out SR because it has no heal and you are left with nin, and when in tier 9 it is pure beast. Throw in a self heal and its a very viable set, but you have to build for alot of KB protection so you dont get thrown around.
WP for a stalker is a mix of resist, defense, regen, and a self heal which is very handy for a stalker. Please not they do NOT have RttC and is replaced with a clone of Reconstruction, which is the same as /ninja's heal. This set is very viable in zones because it has KB protection and KB resist meaning you need NO KB Ios, also it has defense to all the main blaster primaries as well as great resists, it has enhancable +hp power, it has good perception meaning you can get by with just your secondary and a Perception IO. It also has a "tier 9" that is up very often meaning that you have better survivability over time, but it wont make you untouchable like /nin's godmode.
Note that choosing WP means you have to invest LESS IO's building for KB protection, less building for HP bonuses, less slots for perception, and less IOs for defense because WP doesn't really rely on much defense that is enhancable through IOs (although you can build for fire/cold/E/NE defense if your heart is set on it), and my favorite: You dont have to get fitness because you can get all the recovery you need by slotting a numi +/+ and a miracle unique in Fast Healing. Thats right, 3 free power picks for you. This means that you can devote MORE slots and power picks to deck out your OFFENSE, such as more attacks, assault, damage and acc bonuses, etc. This is why WP is my favorite.
Regen dies alot faster in spikes than WP, but if you are good at timing heals and you dont get mezzed you can do pretty good with Regen, but personally I hate having to click MoG before I AS everytime because targets move fast and that animation takes too long for my tastes. Note that Regen has no perception so you may want to invest in tactics. Regen also has a Fast healing power which allows you to skip stamina and fitness all together and add 3 more slots to your arsenal.
Elec is BAD because:
You dont have enough HP for all that resist too be awesome in pvp.
Your heal has a rather long recharge compared to other sets.
Your KB protection only applies on the ground.
Having pure resist means it will get DR'd alot harder than say, WP's resist that also has regen and defense in the set.
Resistance still gets hit by mezzes, debuffs, and all sorts of terrible things that other sets could have avoided.
Did I mention having resist on a low HP toon doesn't help that much?
Hope that helps you out, (dont choose /elec)

I agree with Elf... I mean pvp has been booming compared to what it was a couple months ago and the growing proccess is going to take longer than what you (and we) would like...but it ain't gonna happen without a HUGE push in the right direction.. and when I say huge push its more like push off a cliff. i think if we get enough RV events, people wanting to join the pvp community, and people helping with builds, Champion could be a competitor with freedom as far as pvp goes, granted less people but with less nubs.
Anyways, heres hoping that champion pvp keeps on going the direction its headed because its lookin' pretty good.
I might level some toons on freedom but from /ac theres basicly nice people who are good/serious about pvp, and a HANDFUL of complete Dbags who are good/serious about pvp and will talk any sort of smack on you possible even if they beat you on their acco/IOd toons when your DO'd blaster 5 levels below the zone cap...and a buttload of nubs playing regens who think they are the best because they dont die...not as fun as it sounds believe it or not.
Its so weird over there, when someone new talks about pvp the dbags steer them away from freedom and pvp, but anywhere else and we practically beg people to come pvp with us. -

well once you change it its not his build anymore :P

End of all hope made you a good build why not just use that one?

Quote:Sorry I dont eat mcdonalds...more of a dairy queen fan.Lord people, just dont eat at McDonalds 2 days this week and you'll have the cash for the transfer.
Are you honestly saying that 40 hours of your time is only worth $10.00?
Anyways, I have tried to buy server transfers and rename tokens but when I honestly think about it I think to myself about how that 10 dollars could have been better spent. Food, bills, anything realy thats not virtual.
I'm tight with my money, I'm weird like that. -

im making pvp toons on freedom...RV action is hawt apparently.

Quote:Another thing I would like to mention about to ((((ALL THE HERO PvP'rs)))) is when us villains get but ***** left, right, up, and down.. and there is only ONE.. maybe TWO villains left in RV, we stay and STILL fight it out. But when the "heroes" get out numbered by maybe three-four villains, and we have y'all stuck in your base for maybe about.. five-minutes y'all say "If anyone wants to 1v1 me, send me a tell" and if no one says yes.. y'all leave? like really?? Us villains can be out numbered 7-2 and stick it through, but y'all just run away? Maybe y'all need a new strategy..
I support this message. -
Quote:Are you droid rage?Sup sonic moved Droid from Champion to Freedom and a blaster (so I can occasionally switch if its too bad). Say hello when you see me.
)))
I'm too cheap to pay 10 dollars for a transfer or I'd do the same thing you did...i'll be a PI begger for a month or two i guess. -
Suppose, but I'm aiming for making one villain and one hero, kind of wanted to make a stalker as far as that villain goes. Leveling toons is so slow once youve had AE farming back in the day..

On these kickballs do you guys have stalkers and taunters?

Quote:Team spike, mang. Yes defenders actually have a use, get a FF/energy and spam Force Bolt and Power Push like theres no tomorow./energy assault's power push is covered by 32+acro
all im saying is if anyone loses to a defender theyve got bigger problems in their build than kb protection.
Or you could make a FF controller and do KB and mez, being like 4 times more useful. Besides, Trollers get hibernub. -

Hes talking about the Immoblize enhancements that have a chance for hold, so wouldn't it go off when it uses Tenabrous Tentacles? Even then, I dont see it bring worth it either.

Oh and I played in Sirens call with my level 23 SO'd fire/em blaster, and holy crap there are alot of stalkers...seriously, there were 2 doms and SEVEN stalkers. Seven? And jeez only 2 of them could get AS off the rest just spam impale or run into my [Rain of Fire] and then once they realize they can't get AS off while theyre ON FIRE they spam impale some more or use energy transfer. Oh, and I still got wrecked if they spam impale at me.
I hope RV is better or at least some good KB...might reroll as a taunter just to get rid of the constant stalkerbait. -
