Well thermal's main tool is HE and that doesn't do anything to the MM's pets, I mean it might keep them from healing but you will still take plenty of damage. It really depends if the elec/therm has any aoe's and what kind of MM it is. Most pvp elec/therm's dont have much in the aoe department except short circuit, but if you went Mu you can short circuit + power sink them which will completely sap all pets....
Really can't tell, depends on builds. -
I'll try to make it, have a dark/cold corruptor or my elec/shield brute, this will be my first villside hami, hope its a good turnout.
-
I haven't heard of any dark/psi's though, I mean I guess they would be ok...i dont know , howling twilight COMPLETELY negates hibernate, thats pretty boss just by itself.

Spam flares. Don't use fire blast, just flares. Don't forget to put apoc proc and Devastation chance for hold in there.
(blaze is acceptable if you get bored) -

The same sort of thing really...
For heroes it's fire/sonic/psi /Energy blasters. Mind/emp trollers. MA/FM /regen scraps and Fire/SS Tanks.
For Vills it's just Domi's and PD's with an occasional therm chucked in and Energy/Elec/Spines /Regen or /Ninjitsu Stalkers.
That's about as much variety as you'll fine on Union anyway.
Yea we have the same thing really except there are very little pain corruptors (very little vills in the first place) and alot of thermals, at least 3 times more thermals than pains. -

MA scraps are more popular than Fire/BS?

Quote:Yes...well on my server I haven't seen ONE /fire Dominator. I've seen 2-3 /psi dominaters (they were farm toons on a pvp build), 2 /energy dominaters (powerboost and powerpush are really great) and /elec I guess for buildup and thunderstrike, I used elec on my dom because i just couldn't see fire being that much better. The primaries are usually grav and mind, (powerboosted wormhole is insta-kill, if wormhole alone isn't, too) although I did see a plant that did pretty well as well as some fire/psi's.Originally Posted by Teh_Danny
Hm mostly I saw /fire Doms running through RV.....

The above build uses GSFC's in concentration, then maxes out smash/lethal defenses. GSFC isn't doing much for you there. It's not +2.5 to all.. it's +2.5 to all positional defenses. I'd put those slots somewhere else.
People are going to disagree with me, but personally I think World of Confusion is one of the best mitigation powers blasters get. Adding it to my fire/mm build this weekend made a very noticible jump in my survivabilty. -

Hey mang

Alright so I hears somewhere that elec blasters were popular in RV on the Euro servers, so I have been wondering...
What are the popular toons on European servers?
On the U.S servers I see alot of fire/em, some sonic/em. Elec/therms and sonic/therms are very very popular, most serious brutes are SS/FA and most serious tanks are either fire or ice/ss. Scrappers are regen, dominaters are mind or grav/energy or elec. Stalkers are still using EM, paired with mostly nin and regen.
So? Whats the deal over there? -

I say screw skill. You PvP to win, not to build up some absurd sense of honour amongst PvPers.
Sig worthy even. -
I'm interested as well, trying to find a good balence between Recharge and S/L Defense on my builds....really hard decisions.
-
Alright this is a valid option for a melee blaster and very effective.
First: Six slot Enfeebled Operation in Subdual. This will give you I think about 4 S/L defense.
Second: You want to slot as many Kinetic Combats in your build as possible, 4 of them in each power.
Third: You want a 6 slotted gaussians somewhere, preferably in buildup or aim.
Fourth: You want a steadfast +defense IO in hoarfrost or frozen armor.
Fifth: Six slotted oblits can get you decent defense as well as a recharge bonus. (pricey though)
Sixth: If you can fit it combat jumping is your friend, so is maneuvers but its end heavy.
GL with the build i'm sure you'll have a blast. -
while its very nice of you to allow the jerks into your super community event, I thought it was 8 billion or something like that?
-
With IO sets alone, its impossible.
It depends on what AT you are playing. Squishies can never exceed ~20 defense. Sorry, no way around that. really just dont build for defense its impossible -

Wouldn't it be great if: they announced account-wide storage and blah blah blah.

I'd like to thank the pvp'rs for their collaborative effort in standing against big Developers decision to slash the old system of pvp for an awesome i13 system.
Yes, we pvp'rs are a minority, However we stood together as one, and with one voice The Devs heard our cry of injustice and decided to repeal their decision.
This is a good day for pvp'rs everywhere.
And then i13 beta came out. -
Quote:I dont really think Dominaters do more damage, unless you compare /fire with, say, assault rifle. Anyways, I think a corruptor that can solo will do you well. I would reccomend rad or sonic blast with thermal or pain domination, of course you could always roll a grav/energy or mind/fire or something of the sort if you don't want a corruptor.Originally Posted by FinalDestiny
Well Dominators generally do more dmg. Most people roll Mind/Fire. Pain, Cold, and Thermal Corruptors are pretty popular also. As far as Corr primaries i beleive Sonic and Fire are pretty much the main choices.

For your information, I did try to AS. Until I found out they were perception capped and I almost died, had 2 hp left by the time I had used my heal, 2 greens, and managed to get into hibernate.
Listen Alpha, I know your the one who is always talking about true stalkers know how to get AS, and when I said something about a 8 man team of stalkers using spirit shark I think you said something about skillless noobs there too, but I had fun and so did my team so...w/e -
Quote:You say pvp bonuses are pitiful? The only pitiful bonuses are defense and resist, really. HP, Damage, Accuracy, and Recovery are hardly DR'd at all, and considering they exemp to any level, I would say they are very nice for pvp.Originally Posted by OPTICAL_ILLUSION
I'm pretty sure 99% of us are aware that there is no connection between rep and drop rates.
I have a couple of data samples that show PvP drop rates fall more on the inconsistant to low side.
The current drop rates are not helpful to PvP players or encouraging anyone except the ebil (or soon to be ebil) ones milking the market. How do I know... 10 Billion in one month of taking advantage of the market.
Also, PvP recipes are not better than purples in PvE despite the couple of "ok" bonuses and proc. Thanks to PvP DR the bonuses are pitiful and the only truely decent and desirable ones are the proc. The thought that PvP was butchered because of these almost complete joke rewards is laughable and is trademark to the attention PvP has received.
Very good points.
I personally feel most of the PvPers have been focused on character stats and PvPing as opposed to drop rates so that's why we are way slim on data, but because of the drop rates and costs, it's starting to get some of us to pay attention more. Also, it's much easier and faster to generate numbers for PvE but I'm sure more of us will be proactive now that we are more aware.
The Devs have been notified so I'm hoping they follow through and do a check instead of waiting for their paying customers to spend months PvPing collecting data for them.
Honestly I feel that the Devs should spend more time double/triple checking systems and asking themselves "how can we make what we have better?", instead of waiting for customer to complain or provide data.
I want my 10 Billionaire Club Card! -
Quote:Unless you have aidself, it doesn't effect your heal (hoarfrost) because it has a +resist portion to it. So take PB if you have aidself, but if you have aidself your probably doing it wrongOriginally Posted by Phantastik
Well, it's useful for one big heal, too
Hey, I think that saved me once, though!

We have our Haloween week, Double XP week, crazy anniversary month, plenty of fun. But howabout some pvp love? (without messing with the system!). I am thinking badges that can only be obtained during pvp week, double the pvp IO drop rate in zones, and give double inf/prestige and give XP for pvp kills. Not only would it make pvp funner for pvp'rs but give incentive for new pvp'rs to give it a shot and hopefully lure them into the spiffy world of PvP.
What do you think of a PvP Week or PvP Weekend? I think its time we got a Dev created event of some sort for PvP, especially after all the people that have left.
Note: This is in no way, shape, or form a "Fix pvp thread" -
I hope they plan on fixing the servers before they do this again..
also pinnacle was having the same problems as us...no other servers though.
