    Yeah that's what made me finally switch to sharks. Not the fact that sharks are so good....just the fact that dark blast is straight up 100% useless.
  2. Will dom is your best attack. Psy wail is useless. Bonesmasher is useless. TF is somewhat useful, but can be skipped.
  3. Your best bets are Arch/Energy Blaster for offense, or Plant/Empathy Controller if you want to play support. I wouldn't bother with the others.

    No, but at this point, I'd be willing to bet that there are more PvP'ers on Freedom than all the other servers combined. I'm pretty confident in that.

    Hey I'm in that video! Boy, JAL was bad back then. The whole "anybody can play" strategy really doesn't work in competitive PvP, and we had guys playing that probably couldn't even be considered agerage.

    I actually remember that match. I probably got like 3 total emp buffs in the entire match. Our emps were pretty good at getting farmed lol.

    That's not the only downside. Freedom was already the laggiest server, becuase of the insane numbers. It only took 1 day for me to realize that this may turn into a problem. It was clearly more laggy last night than normal, with a bunch of new people in RV. If more and more people keep transferring, Freedom may become a permanent "double xp weekend" type lagfest.

    Pvp server!

    I've transferred one total toon, and now I wish I didn't waste the $10 lol.

    This is great news though. Very nice of them to do.
  8. Felt more like 10 hours to me. It's the most PvE I did in like 3 years.
  9. A while ago I finally caved in and decided to get an accolade on one of my villains. Picked my most powerful toon, wasted a whole bunch of time, and got demonic on my widow. Like 1 month later, widows were turned into a joke.

    Yeah....I'm not wasting my time anymore
  10. Mega is fairly useless for most. Others are all still useful....especially the +end/+rech one...the geas equivalent. Just a huge pain in the *** to get. Of course I don't bother with getting any of them, but I'm a special case.
  11. Fly+tp can still work. Just hard to team with normal PvP'ers.....hard to keep up with them. But solo it can do really well.

    Anyway, last night I played my tank for the first time in a while, and good lord fossilize is retarded lol. You kinda lose track of how absurd some things are when you use them all the time. If you take a break from them to play gimp toons, they really start to stand out lol.

    It's still hard to imagine the logic behind it.......................but we can try...

    Developer 1: "Hey uhhh....it looks like an attack with 80 foot range is doing more damage than knockout blow....are you sure that thi..."

    Big Dog: "Yes, great."

    Developer 2: "Hey it's also a hold, and does -defense, which KoB doesn't do....which means it's a better attack in every way...maybe we shou...."

    Big Dog: "Perfect. Leave it that way."

    Developer 1: "Well ok. I guess it's ok. Oh wait, it also completely goes against our new rule of long activation time = more damage. It has like a 1 second activation, compared to KoB's ~3 seconds. Shouldn't we at least be consistent when we completely redesign the game?"

    Big Dog: "You're fired."

    Developer 2: "Thank you for the promotion sir. The changes are being programmed as we speak. Last question. What should we tell the PvP'ers?"

    Big Dog: "Nothing. Let's ignore them completely for roughly one year. If any are left after that, we'll deal with it then. Now on to important stuff. How's the progress on the moving dummies in the warzone?"

    Devastation proc

    Hey I'm right here! Stop talking about me in 3rd person!

    Specifically in this case I was talking about my fire blaster. He's my only toon that's actually IO'd...just no purple or PvP sets. But I do have a really strange build. I guess I can share it with you guys. Basically I'm a big fan of range, so instead of slotting my 2 attacks (flares+blast) with IO's I slot them with HO's. Currently I got them both slotted like this:
    1 acc/dmg HO, 2 dmg/rng HO, 2 acc SO, 1 proc

    This way, I can outrange pretty much everybody in the game, since no other blaster I know slots his attacks with range HO's over IO's.

    I'm debating whether to switch one of the acc SO's to another proc. I have very minimal +acc bonuses (if any at all) since I didn't build for them. So the acc slotted in the attacks would be all I have. But with elusivity basically removed from the game, does it really matter? I mean, before I13, I only had 2 acc SO's on ALL attacks on ALL my toons....and it worked perfectly fine.

    I guess I COULD drop 1 dmg/rng HO, but I really don't wanna lose my range. Unless someone tells me that DR makes my slotting useless, when boost range is considered.

    Devastation proc

    Hmm....I think perhaps I need to slot these myself. What do you guys think...it's probably ok to switch from 3 SO's worth of acc to 2, right? Then I could fit in an extra proc per attack.

    I went to 3 acc in I13 because of elusivity.
  15. Yeah defenders suck. But if you must make one, storm/psy is better than storm/dark for zones. Psy is decent damage, while dark is really bad. Dark is mostly good for 1v1 duel stuff.

    Haha nice. Knocking that defender down with whirlwind is good ****. More people need to learn to PvP like that
  17. Claws is just about as bad as it gets for scrappers. I have one too. No buildup, and the weakest attacks of any scrapper set. It really makes no sense why it was nerfed so hard in comparison with every other set.
  18. Earth has kinda slow activating powers, but yes, that combo would definitely work.
  19. Sorry, I don't play in arena anymore, so I'm not aware of all the specific rules and regulations that are currently used. I play in zones, where there is no such thing as evasion. If you start getting attacked by a blaster, you have ONE option: to phase or hibernate. And yes, 5 seconds is enough obviously, but most people wouldn't immediately phase just from having 1 blaster hit them with like 2 attacks.

    Anyway, why am I even defending sonic? I'm the oldest FIRE blaster left in PvP. Epsilon, I'm not gonna do your job for you anymore!

    Considering we've complained about it for about 4 years with ZERO results, I would assume that no, it will never change. They do not care enough about PvP to spend any time working on it. They did it once (I13), and it was one of the biggest failures in the history of game design. Chances are, they will just let things be as they are, until the game slowly dies off.
  21. Yeah I had full trays of those on most my toons.
  22. Blaster damage was nerfed, but so was almost everything else in the game. Blasters are currently pretty much the undisputed #1 PvP AT.
  23. Sounds like a plan! I nominate macskull to represent AR.
  24. Hehe this guy has come to RV a couple times in the last week. He's enforcer watermelon right?

    His playstyle is cute. He runs out of his base, dies within 10 seconds, and in local chat types "you suck" or "noob" or something else like it. Then he respawns, repeats the same thing 1 or 2 times more, and then leaves the zone. Pretty hilarious really.
