    are you guys serious about impale and shark?

    Read this thread

    OCCASSIONAL blaster? Thats like, all there ever was back on my server, ( of course we had the cocky regens too)

    Thats really odd.

    Now I made a fire/em heroside but I can't decide if I wanna make a mind/elec dom, grav/energy dom, fire/pain corr, or fire/thermal corr villside.

    Also: What is this unsupressed sg and is it hero or vill?

    Also: Yes, freedom is awesome. I'm cheap like some of you just go to PI and there will usually be some farms or find a farming sg and leech off them :P
  3. What probably happened is that because your a defense toon, his tohit buff hit you randomly, and hit -defense debuffs hit you randomly, so the whole thing was very...random.

I also took mace beam and poisonus ray, they both do good damage in pvp and good to snag runners. Im not sure you will be able to fit in shatter armor or not i couldnt do it. capping def was also expensive and required some odd slotting at times. Hope this helps! if you want to see build i can post it in a few days!
    Please do.

    Freedumb??

    I made a PB and a bane, should I have just made a fire/em and elec/ninja? or are the people here elitist that are gonna wreck me if I dont have the best of the best? I thought I'd make somethin special for all the noobs I hear of.

    The thing is I dont have room for all the epics I want. I want double assault, NEED fitness, NEED a travel power, Want 2 travel powers, want phase and want aidself. I guess I can just c raft temp phases, however, I have REALLY long loads into RV (up to 5 minutes at times) so I dont leave zone for insps....ever. Which is why i wanted aidself but I suppose I can just run or phase.

    spirit shark = 151 damage
    Mace Blast (power needed to unlock Shatter Armor) = 130
    Shatter Armor= 271 plus -20percent res.

    I guess you meant take spirit shark if the build is too tight?

    ALso how much defense do you think I should build for?

    Righty-o then to freedom or bust!

    You can crit from just placate w/o bane cloaking device.

    You need Bane cloaking device to have "Hidden" status to be able to crit.

    Ok so I've been thinking about making a Bane for pvp, even after veat dmg nerf and elusitivity, I wanna have a PB and bane (matching EATS) for pvp.

    Looking at the build, I want Leaping, Fitness, Leadership (double assault ftw?), phase, and aidself. I'm willing to cut out SS especially if I have mental training and swift.

    Anyone have decent builds? I want mace beam, poisonous ray, shatter, placate, shatter armor, web coccoon, surveillence, and probably Mace Blast from the patron to get SHatter Armor.

    Anyone have any suggestions or builds or advise on what to build for?

    (I've pvp'd on an SO'd bane before in i13, so I know most of the combat strategies.)

    Freedumb??

    Alright well my home server Champion is loads of fun with lots of cool people but the pvp consist of the same 10 players and TBH I'm sick of it.

    How is freedom pvp? Is there lots of people? I hear all the villains are nub stalkers? I want to have toons to pvp on anytime I want and I'm just not getting enough of it. Is it worth it to roll up some new pvp toons on freedom?
  15. LOL Heroes almost always own the zone except for the past 2 weeks and your gonna come on the forums to recruit more, GL with that. Champion hates pvp.]

    Besides....

    Vills wreck.

    Oh and Shay you know blasters can get hibernate too :P You can't complain about it if you have access to it too, just the same as a villain can't complain about droning, unless hes dumb and can't figure out to stay out of the base.

I also dont think there's a squishy in the world that would be able to survive a bu'd thunderstrike + bu'd AS combo that's well coordinated.

    fire is great for ranging people, but you're looking for burst and disruption on a 3v3 team, not extended dps.


    The stalker? well, yeah, have you seen what a good impale with 2 procs will do? a thunderstrike + havoc punch + 1 impale should be able to kill a squishy that isn't getting healed.

    also, regin cant be bet noub

    elec and energy are best on doms
  18. Does anyone think 2 /dark masterminds could do this?

Full fury, double rage, fiery embrace does some great burst though, espically no DR. I think i hit about 800 on a regen with that no DR. Maybe 700. With numbers like that i want to get full fury as fast as i can.

    I'm not 100% sure, because i start with building fury (sometimes) and i don't have fossilize. I don't pretend to know everything, i warn whoever reads my posts that i do not know everything, and even when talking about something i know, i say how i have that experience. In this case mine is a little different, although i believe the whole idea is the same, as ive seen SS tankers duel.

    The build i gave was a tanker build, i knew exactly what he was asking for.
    I just don't see how (in non fiteklub pvp) you have time to get off more than 2 attacks at a time in the first place on any ranged toon unless they are terrible...yet alone spamming weak attacks AND having time for your heavy hitters.
  21. Mind for zones, Ill for duels.

    Really you just have to decide if you want to excel at duels or zones. Personally if someone knows they're going against a thermal they just bring blues and wreck them but thats just IMO.

    not only was he talking about the wrong AT but also giving bad advice to build fury.

    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.
    lol you dont build fury in pvp....

    Am I understanding you correctly?
    I think it would be .6 end for its 6 damage. under your 1 end for 10 dmg, it means that .1 end should be used for every point of damage, so that same ratio should be used for defenders, meaning that the 6 damage attack would cost .6 damage. That is of course, if blasters end/damage ratio is the one they go with and you have to consider defenders higher debuff values.
