I'm not a fan of bonfire so that? Acid Arrow lasts as long as its recharge (which means justs needs Acc if you're saving slots, I'm stacking mine and slotting for debuff too)

[/ QUOTE ]

Im keeping bonfire for stalkers but have tweaked the build and dropped fireball and consume for acid arrow and smoke. Any other suggestions owuld be greatly appreciated

[ QUOTE ]
I dont see Acid Arrow, is -def not that helpful? From using it it also has a pretty good -res too

[/ QUOTE ]

it is but what do i drop instead? its a tight build and I want a few more things in there too but i really need those pool sets

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]


Which is the other +percetion I can get in? I thought trollers could only access tactics


[/ QUOTE ]He said both -pers, not +pers

[/ QUOTE ]

whoops, play a stalker so long and all you can think of is the stealth/perception war, -perception rarely features

the movement penalty is only 7% and imo stalkers should always have ss anyway, I also 2 slot my SS for speed too.

[ QUOTE ]
bit f a follo up from my last post, but hy do stalkers need stealth in PvP, dont we come with in build stealth?

[/ QUOTE ]

yes but other ATs ahve built in +perception and can see us, they can get a pool power and see us too. The stealth/perception issue is merely an arms race at the moment

Lvling be damned this is for pvp and yeah I could go fire rad but there seems lots of them out there.

I have aid self in the build

Which is the other +percetion I can get in? I thought trollers could only access tactics

I did have ranges in one of the builds I did, guess that must ahve been one that the builder crashed on I think I will put them back in. The immob/accs are in there just to prolong the duration of entangle to 30 seconds, it is actually an immob but thats not what I intend to use it for (as every man and his monkey has res to immob )

Glue arrow is perma (8 seconds overlap with hasten) and seems to be an autohit as isnt letting me get any accs in it which should be good Vs SRs which kins ahve a problem stacking slows on them.

My idea seems to be entangle, glue, disruption, oil slick and fireball the oil slick (should the pets not have ignited it and pets going nuts during all this time)

Im thinking of my next build and fancied another controller, fire/rad and fire/kin are obvious ones but I quite fancy TA as secondary as there are some useful tools in there. Plenty of slows, -fly, -jump etc etc

The time drawing the bow concerns me as does the fact that the builders say disruption arrow takes resitance enhancements, is this a flaw or does resistance enhancements enhance the -res of the power?

Some opinions on the sets would be appreciated, ignore when the powers were taken as I was just throwing in all the pools that I wanted ready but the slots are about right

Stalk-obot - Stalk, I know you were there for your match and losing a life because the other 5 didn't turn up when you arranged the match was a little on the harsh side but Xanthus was in a no win situation there. If he received a tell from you on the night, before the next weeks matches were scheduled or when the match was originally scheduled, i'm sure you would have kept your life. Outside of that, he simply can't accept a PM after the round was drawn saying you were there but no one else was. I don't know the specifics but I'm pretty sure from what i've heard the problem was he never received word from either of the teams involved until the deadline/next round draw was past.

Your case Stalk was just an unfortunate side effect of finding the fine line between being reasonable and being fair. Xanthus could have let you keep your life which would have been the fairest thing but it also would have been a can of worms.

I could have not turned up for one of my matches, found out everyone else also didn't bother then sneakily claimed 'I was there but no one else was. Give me my life back'.

[/ QUOTE ]

I posted in the results thread of the 3vP round that is in question that there was just me there and that clearly I had won by default (In fact I posted this more than once) LONG before the next set of matches was posted (16th June, results published were then placed on the boards on the 28th June) For my post see here http://uk.boards.cityofheroes.com/sh...o=&fpart=6

for results see here http://uk.boards.cityofheroes.com/sh...o=&fpart=1

[ QUOTE ]
This is why i've stopped giving advice on the forums about builds as each person has there own opinions as to the best build and we can argue the toss all day as to whats better.
i'll just say in closing i prefer 3 and leave it at that

[/ QUOTE ]
Having a double overlap period can be a good tactic especially in certain circumstances (I wonder if anyone 6 slotted PB pre-ED for nuts mez protection, would be annoying rooting every half minute or so though ), I was just trying to be certain that the information (and advice) I was offering was numerically correct

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
2x +3 SO's is close to ED already. Having a 3rd hits ED hard, making effective boost hardly any difference (ex 76ish vs 80%). Then the only difference is moment of start counting (when you hit the toggle or when it's 'active') and when you actualy measure it again. This can result (specialy with 60-120 recharges) in just a little few seconds difference.

[/ QUOTE ]

18 second difference between 2 and 3 slotted.
2 slots 120 second recharge.
3 slots 102 second recharge.

[/ QUOTE ]

2 slots even level SOs = 120.05 recharge
3 slots even level SOs = 103.6 recharge

as you are agreeing with me thats 2 slots of even and above is perma whats your point?

Oh and 3 x +3s give a recharge of 101.4 while 2 SOs +3 give 113.68. So its a 7 second difference with 2 +3s and a 2 second difference with 3 +3s, theres EDs deminishing returns right there.

As for using my name as a placeholder is irrelevant, I asked for my name to be removed in its entirity from your tournament and chose to ignore me in PMs and on the boards which to be honest I find disrespectful, especially as plenty of people who wanted, and should have been, included in the listings have been ommitted. My name is not yours to use as a placeholder in anyway.

[/ QUOTE ]

It's just easier for me. Stop making a fuss over what is effectively nothing.

[/ QUOTE ]

It’s a simple matter of respect, if its nothing then why didn’t you acknowledge my requests via PMs and the boards?

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
Could I run a better tournament? Hell yeah, Im quite meticulous and assure you that accurate results would be posted. Would I run one? Hell no

[/ QUOTE ]

Stop complaining about mine then. I'm trying to do something for the PvP community, but people like you can't help but complain and tear it apart at every opportunity. To be honest, I'm not surprised nothing else has been organized like this.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm not surprised either that this hasn’t been organised before but as you saw fit to keep my name included in your tournament despite frequent requests I am apparently a integral part of it and as such entitled to my opinion and veiws. I ask you this

Do you think you have done the best job you could have?

And I haven’t complained. I raised points and issues that should be raised, without addressing said points how can you put things right? Are you seriously telling me you run things perfectly? Clearly not and as such should be a big enough man to accept and use constructive criticism.

I didn’t even complain when I said to remove my name SEVERAL TIMES.

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
the organisers cant be arsed to turn up

[/ QUOTE ]

The only times I've not turned up to a 3vP match were last week, and the thursday when I set the "organize your own" thing up. If you were honest, you'd admit that you said that you weren't going to make any effort to organize your matches (I can't be bothered to go and find the quote now). You have no cause for complaint here. If you had taken the time to organize your match, then you wouldn't have been penalized.

[/ QUOTE ]

That’s total BS mate, I was there in galaxy subbing for teams, waiting for my match and no one turned up, how can I organise something when no one is online? I'm quite interested. I took time to attend, to assist and got penalised for it AND I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE. Seeing as you DIDN’T turn up for 2 weeks how can you have the audacity to penalise people for not being there WHEN THEY WERE? And have witnesses to attest to this fact AND subbed in other matches.

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
World cup or not, you started something and should have the dedication to see it through.

[/ QUOTE ]

I am seeing it throuh. Funny that.

[/ QUOTE ]

And yet didn’t turn up for 2 weeks, funny that. Posted inaccurate results seemingly every week, funny that.

i tested with 1 +1 lvl SO and 1 even lvl SO's and there was a 2-3 second gap.
So its not like PB at all.
Also theres the fact SR has Quickness which /Nin does not so needs 3 SO for Rin to be perm

[/ QUOTE ]

The even level 2 SOs in PB with a fraction of a second downtime was without quickness. Checked the builders and it is the same as PB, 2 even level SOs should give a downtime of .05 second +3s give you a 7 second overlap. That said you really dont want any downtime regardless ofhow small due to the fact that it may have to stack behind an attack chain and sods law means thats when a hold will sneak through.

[/ QUOTE ]

I have my Rin 3 slotted with +3 SO's and get a 8-10 second overlap so i can't understand how a 2 slotted Rin with +3's would give the same ?
please explain.

So why were the postings put up a DAY (the other week) before the matches were sheduled? You seriously think that is enough time for people?

[/ QUOTE ]

The teams are random anyway, and actually were originally going to be drawn on Wednesday night. People know that 3vP is every thursday at 7:30pm, why should the day the teams are arranged make any difference?

[ QUOTE ]
And yeah, one of my PMs went unanswered, and you clearly are not reading the boards and/or are ignoring them as I specified on no uncertains grounds (several times) that I had withdrawn and wanted my name removed from any and all aspecs of the 3vP tournament.

[/ QUOTE ]

I was just using your name as a placeholder so that it wouldn't screw up the way I have the tournament recorded at my end. I wasn't expecting you to turn up at all, and was quite prepared to find subs for you every week.

If you think you can do better, Stalkobot, you organize a PvP tournament.

[/ QUOTE ]

seeing as how a week was bypassed on both servers and a "organise your own" week occurred how on earth are people expected to predict as and when you are going to "run" things. So we have prescendent of the "tournament" NOT being regular so why should people put their lives on hold WITHOUT confirmation?

As for using my name as a placeholder is irrelevant, I asked for my name to be removed in its entirity from your tournament and chose to ignore me in PMs and on the boards which to be honest I find disrespectful, especially as plenty of people who wanted, and should have been, included in the listings have been ommitted.

Could I run a better tournament? Hell yeah, Im quite meticulous and assure you that accurate results would be posted. Would I run one? Hell no, people are ingrates and unreliable, I play this game (including pvp) for fun and this is why I would NEVER run a Hami raid despite the 100 or so sucessful ones I have done. However though some are unreliable I feel it is counter productive for people who turn up every damn week on time, sub for several teams and then get penalised because the organisers cant be arsed to turn up, several people have been punished in this way, not just me. World cup or not, you started something and should have the dedication to see it through.

[ QUOTE ]
And to be blunt I think many who were waiting for information and match postings when the organisers went AWOL for a time was equaly disgusting as you find the no-shows, everyone has a life and obligations outside of a game.

[/ QUOTE ]

At which point in the duration of the competition were you unable to contact me to ask about the tournament? No, seriously? Because I read these boards at least once a day, so PMs are usually answered overnight.

The turnout at this weeks 3vP was, to be quite blunt, disgusting. More than half the people who were drawn in matches this week failed to show up, so no actual fights took place. Instead, everyone who did not show up has been penalized

[/ QUOTE ]

And yet in more than one occasion people who did turn up were also penalised, doesnt exactly court good feeling.

Which has made me wonder why known good PVPers from hero side dont make more villain characters

[/ QUOTE ]

I actually beleive its more down to being afraid of leaving the dizzy heights they are at on COH and entering into an unknown situation where they may not perform at a standard they have come to expect in PVP. But then Im cynical

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually, it's because I just don't enjoy playing Villains as much as Heroes.

We did do a villain team, actually, on Union. We 0wned sirens a few times, but then we just kinda stopped playing.

[/ QUOTE ]

I dont see how the content in COV is any less enjoyable but guess thats just me. I do know what its like from going from an AT you know inside out and can pound uo the levels insanely quickly solo (stalker) to one that has promise but lvls like a comatose snail (my ice/ice dom) and this is demoralising.

And of course some people have egos to preserve that means they dont want to deviate from a set routine.

Here my build but please not I never bother with sheilds on my EAs, I just dont need them.

for soloing, it goes like this AS first minion (can AS red minion without BU) BU + ET next minion and then plcate and total focus, dead mob in seconds

For boss fights without overload just AS minion, plcate boss, kill the other minions then lay some whup-[censored] on the boss. its pretty easy.

If you have 2 ACC SOs then you should be able to hit pretty much anything, FA is equivilent to near enough 1 acc SO (when slotted fully) so you would lose in essence 1 acc SO and need to run a pretty meaty toggle. Personally for PVE I wouldnt bother with it, since ED you have the slots spare for acc which would ahve been used for more damage pre-ED.

I took FA purely for pvp reasons on my scrappers (+perception) If PVP isnt your goal then I wouldnt bother and I hear weapon mastery is a good one to take.

No wishes from me as Im not a hypocrite (not saying those who wished well are btw )
