Quote:FoN is almost as good as melt armor on blasters. Its not.Originally Posted by Like_Woah
hasten,SS,SJ,accro,combat jumping, maneuvers, for lotg 7.5, tactics, stealth,phase. As far as epics I went with Power for Pff and Temp Inv, and FoN.
The alternative is Cold for snow storm and Hib. Not sure what is currently preferred for small team arena. -
Quote:Quite frankly, its clear you shouldn't be giving advice. Hoarfrost is far from perma, and should be used as a heal not as a way to boost your max HP. As a blaster its very easy to get capped HP without trying too hard.Originally Posted by fur_nes
if you have hoarfrost why worry so much about capped HP? Power will give you PFF so you can pop greens when phase is down and gives better resists. Hiber is nice but if they throw tk on you you have to waste a phase to get away and your down on both escapes.
Procs are nice and pvp ios are nicer but you can build a good build with regular ios to zone in and try and get drops or if you are a paying member check the store frequently they have deals on purples all the time (sets for really cheap) down side is they are tied to the account but you want to use them I take it so not such a bad deal.
I'm not sure what your point is with PFF/phase in comparison to that Hiber/tk rubbish? -
Quote:They didn't change control hybrids because people complained that its OP (even though it clearly was) People pointed out that it was not working as intended and therefore bugged. Therefore it clearly warranted a fix, the devs HAVE to fix bugs otherwise they will eventually not have much control of their own game. There is nothing wrong with droning if you're stupid enough to get droned as often as you clearly do then you have slightly bigger fish to fry.Originally Posted by PoisonHeart
did they not change hybrid holds today in pvp? if they truely didnt care about pvp they would have ignored everyones complaints about it and leave it as it is, so like i said before, even though the pvp community is small and even though the devs. dont put that much interest into pvp, doesnt mean that asking for this will automaticly be a flat out no, there is a chance if people stop saying "oh just give up, they wount do it" and ask for this minor change.

Go with frozen armor/hoarfrost/hibernate. Get tough to make up for the lack of resist. 6 slot your attacks with 1-2 damage procs in each, I would put the ATO dmg proc in will dom or mental blast along with a glad jav proc. Also if you're limited on cash use 4 devas (3 of those with the /acc component) for the +HP +dmg set bonuses. And an acc/dam from Glad jav so you get the +range bonus. (All 4 of your attacks should have a glad jav proc as well)
ss/sj/acrobatics are a must. Tactics is a must. Snipe is optional it can be good for spiking especially with the up coming snipe changes.
I don't use mids so I can't post you an exact build. But aim for 41pts of KB if you care enough, if not 35 is fine. capped HP, go for 70-100% recharge, 50+ acc.
Your attack chain usually would be will dom>>psi dart>>TK blast but in 8v8s (LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL) it could vary depending on your positioning and the person you're spiking positioning.
Good luck! -
Quote:psycho jas agreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees with thisOriginally Posted by MrLiberty
You asked for a build for an PvP earth storm last week. I posted up a build for you and defined the ideal role for the build in a PvP setting. Why are we back here again, what is unthinkable, and what exactly is a DD?
-
If you're back for PvP as you claim to be liberty is far from the greatest server to return too. After i13 a huge amount of players left the game all together, the PvP'ers that remained pretty much all moved to freedom at one point or another to start a new community there, while that community is more or less dead, theres still a few of us left. There is also a growing one on Virtue.
I wouldn't bother going through the effort of PL'ng PvP toons on any other server unless you plan on then moving them to either Freedom or Virtue. -
Quote:What server are you playing on? You sound like most your experience was pre i13, and back then PvP'ers were spread across every server. If you're on freedom you can shoot me a global tell @psycho jas and I can try answer any of your questions or show you anything in arena. But pretty much every thing Lib has said you should take on board.Originally Posted by -Farenheit-
Hello, not sure if anyone will remember me or not, would pvp all the time, my global was -Fire wire.
anywaaaays..
im back to check out the pvp, so far it seems pretty lame, but id like to give it a go again.
So far i have a ice/rad troller for 1v1s ice/nrg blaster for small teams and what not, if anyone could help me in the direction on what to go for IOing and incarnate stuff, would luv you gently.
for the ice/rad i went clarion for mez protection but willing to change for a good cause!!
Luv ya pvpers =] -
So basically PvE'rs prefer min/maxing builds to be able to beat non moving targets who attack once an hour. And they also are able to get emotional and upset over what some kid says to them on a video game, which frankly is just sad.

Quote:Get both and then decide depending on the situation. I'd go incan for duels. You can always switch to rebirth when you run out of inspirations.Originally Posted by LaHives
Looks good! Thanks a ton, I'm sure itll be a lot of fun.
Would you suggest incan for life drain or rebirth for phase/rebirth? -

I don't think that means what you think it means.

Quote:If you're posting a thread asking for advice why are you giving wrong advice on the same topic, different thread?Originally Posted by Micro Atomic
If you're method is to drain Endurance, than absolutely go
Elec. Only take that power set if that's your goal. I'd only include Charged Bolts, Lighting Bolt, and Short Circuit into your attack chain though. Seeing as the set is so poor they're the only decent -End damage you get. I'm working on an Elec/Therm corrupter I'll post it when I'm done, if I can remember. Elec is such a crippled primary but necessary for a Sapper. -
I wouldn't focus to much time on getting the HP cap while sacrificing other aspects of the build such as +Recharge. Aim for at least 65% recharge, more would be better. 1450-1550HP should be fine for a therm that I assume you'll be taking Incan on. Elec will be trash to use in zone, and probably arena nowadays. It use to be dueling FoTM before incarantes.
-
Freedom/Virtue are your only hopes of finding anything close to competitive PvP. In the past there has been PvP leagues on Freedom and one stupid one on Champion with 4-7ish teams with rosters of about 12+ people. A laughable comparison to pre i13 Test ladder rosters. The most recent League happened around November/December of 2011 on the Freedom server, however once that finished numbers dropped again.
-
or why not all move your pvp toons to freedom where all the active(lol) pvp is happening in this bad game.
-
Any comparisons damage wise to another blaster set?

Quote:You should look into re rolling. 1v1's are trash, especially on a sonic/energy defender. Sonic is pretty much useless post i13 because fat devs are fat. If I was serious about getting into PvP i'd go to another game, but if I was set on this game i'd look into re rolling.Originally Posted by Fenny
My current main is a Sonic/Energy Defender. PvE On him is fun, and he's great for support. I'd like to get him a build kitted up for PvP to take my support to that as well. Sonic/Energy is there to stay, because it's also my most invested character.
The problem I'm having is that a lot of the PvP I'm experiencing is 1v1, so I'd like to see what I can do to cook up to help fight. In teamfights, I'm hoping my buffs will actually help.
I have access to both anc/Patron pools, and my main's current build has mace mastery. What are some things I should look into? -
Quote:Start another league pleaseOriginally Posted by The Katalyst
I'm speaking more in terms of the present then the past. There have always been those willing to go the extra mile to try and get things done, but that type of player is not that common in CoH anymore.
Not that I blame people for giving up. It's been fairly clear for a long time that nothing is likely to change. Giving up is the rational/logical thing to do at this point, and it has been for a long time.
Also, I think the things you are talking about were far more common pre-i13. The interest level in PvP obviously went down after i13. The flaws in the system are a fault of the developers, I'm not disputing that.
What I was talking about more then anything were the types of people who sit around in RV/AC all day and QQ about how bad CoH PvP is (it is, but that's not the point) but are unwilling to get in on casual arena events and that type of thing. CoH PvP can be fun to some degree, but you have to be willing to do more then base-sit in RV all day.
In any event, it's a moot point. I'm just rambling now. You either accept the game is what it is at this point, and try and make the best out of it, or quit. -

Will dom > psi dart > tk blast then its just spam whats up if it itsnt dead already
And im usually solo so i call my own targets -
Quote:Psi doesn't need a nerf. People need to get less bad.Originally Posted by fur_nes
lies look how quickly they nerfed psi........oh I see what you mean!
-
If its for teams why would you want elec? I'd re roll as fire or sonic or maybe psi.
-
whoooo am i kiddinggggggg
-
This game is so gooodddd
-
Are the proc changes coming out with this issue? Also any conformations over rumours that Psi blasters damage has been scaled down to that of corruptors? Delayed damage being removed?

Quote:The only people who spend 50 bill on a build is Gunrock and fatweiserOriginally Posted by Shield-Strength
Open ended budget to a degree. I have heard that some epic PvP builds run up to as much as 50bil. I'd like to spend less but don't want a cheap wannabe build so I'm willing to spend what it takes to get the right toon.

Quote:I wouldn't start on virtue if I were you, not that there is anything left in this game PvP wise but on the rare occasion that an event does happen that can help you improve in anyway its far more likely to happen on Freedom then any other servers. I honestly don't understand why people who love PvP -lol- constantly try and get it happening on different servers other than Freedom despite the fact that for years people have put a lot of effort in building a community on Freedom (I admit theres no where near as many people now as there was previously)Originally Posted by Shield-Strength
Sounds fun. My only character right now is a SD/SS tank. But from what I've just read ranged toons are preferred. I don't know a lot about ranged toons as far as the best categories. Can you point me in the right direction or provide a build so that I can make the toon on Virtue? Any help is GREATLY appreciated.
As far as ranged builds go it depends entirely on what you're trying to get out of it. Fire/em blasters or Psi/em Blasters are a good place to start blaster wise. Mind/fires and Earth/fires are good as well. If I were you I would try shy away from the likes of therms or poisons until you at the very least have the basic understanding of PvP.
