This is where i came to the conclusion that if u took away the resistance debuff/buff pvp and kept everything else, pvp would be more enjoyable for me.

I think that is more what you meant to say.

They're up, as I'm on right now.

Defenders dont need buff. They heal and debuff and do OK damage considering they are defenders. If you want to be a damage dealer in pvp, roll something else, or roll the right build.

[/ QUOTE ]

Again I answer this...
The new garbage pvp nerfs ruined the defenders usefulness as healer/buffers.... Have you seen any in pvp? I havent seen 1 in weeks. Ever hear of DR? it has taken AT's uniquness AWAY!

[/ QUOTE ]

I have seen plenty. I have even played a few, myself. While some sets could use a little help, not all defenders are completely useless.

And Emps still make a change in the zone, even if it's not as big as it was before.

Also may I suggest switching to decaf.

I lol'ed.

You will still be getting wrecked. Have a nice day.

So for all the new Doms out there, what are you going for your Patron?

With my Earth/EA I can't decide if I want Tactics/Hibernate, Phase/Mace, or Tactics/Mace.

Mace brings PFF, but lol PFF, so that means you will probably want Phase, but if you take Phase, you have no ToHit and no +Percep. If you go Hibernate, you lose Poisonous Ray with it's huge amounts of damage, and -res.

So troubled.

And especially after people KS'ing (it's fine, just saying that will detract from you actually getting the kill), and other things, getting up to 90 or 100ish kills can takes a long time, especially depending on the server.

Farming for pvp io's is not a exploit. The reward/time ratio is to much for it to be a exploit. Sometimes it takes 2 30 min matches just to get 1. That's a hour for 1 recipe or roughly 80 kills.

If it wasn't for farmers farming these there would be NONE on the market. The ones that would be on the market would be so overpriced that noone would afford them, then pvp io's would just be useless.

[/ QUOTE ]

the fact that people were sucessfully farming them enough to make statistics like this and yet people who actually pvp'd werent getting them should have been a red flag imo.

i hope this bug forces castle or whoever is working on this to put in some supression timer and up the drop rate to make it less farmable and more likely to end up in the hands of actual pvpers.

[/ QUOTE ]

Seriously? If you wanted them in the hands of "actual PvP'ers," they would have to increase the drop rate. I have yet to receive an actual PvP io while PvP'ing, and I've done quite a bit.

[ QUOTE ]
I get it a lot where I hit phase, go through the phase animation, and then die from a bunch of people hitting me. I assume it's basically the same thing, lag makes it look like I activated in time, when I really didn't.

[/ QUOTE ]

It can also be an animation finally catching up with you. I know that Will Dom takes awhile to hit, and sometimes that's annoying, but I have taken down many a Hibernating villain with it =p

[ QUOTE ]
Wait, weren't you one of the people *farming* for them on Pinnacle? One of the group that people made threads complaining about?

While it's probably a bug, since I didn't see anything about it in the patch notes - if they ever did get purposely removed, you could - oh, I don't know, look in the mirror.

That said, given that there are notes about typo fixes to Gladiator's Armor, I'd say "bug." The only things removed this issue are the badges Positron talked about for AE. (Edit for 'only things removed.')

[/ QUOTE ]

Farming for PvP recipes has yet to be labeled a "bad thing" by the devs. Farming for PvP recipes is the same as farming for purples.

Also, there have been "Stealth nerfs" before when the Devs didn't say anything about nerfing one thing or another. However, your point about them fixing the typo is very valid.

[ QUOTE ]
i4 Please!

Would be wild!

[/ QUOTE ]

I've always wanted just one server where the game would revert back to i2 or i3 where there weren't damage, defense, resistance, target caps, where Spines/Regens were gods, where people actually played the game. I think the Devs would be surprised how many people enjoyed Tankers farming and people playing it old school.

[ QUOTE ]
Hold onto it. If this rumor about no drops in the arena is true, the price is about to go waaaaaaaaaay up.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, I'm glad I haven't listed it yet =p

Well obviously they can't have people actually PvP'ing. That would ruin everyone's immersion.

Earth/Energy and Grav/Elec

HEY, it makes the game so much more noob friendly, don't trash talk it [/sternvoice]

lol, seriously, how many threads is it gonna take on these boards for the devs to realize how unfriendly this new system is. I think I have seen 4 since I came back--a week and a half ago.

205 mil.

If anyone is interested, I have a Gladiators Armor Teleport Res/+3% Defense to all, same server, same side, that I'm looking to sell.

[ QUOTE ]
Death knight.

[/ QUOTE ]

So good.

I'd be interested.

Sold it today. Thanks =p

It's crafted, and level 50 on Red-side. Want to sell it for 215 mil, as on the Market it's listed at 225 mil, so you save 10 mil.

Please post here or send a tell to @Siphonic on Freedom.

Do you think it would be better to take Power Blast or Bone Smasher?

Not to bring up an old thread, but I finally just got this thing to 50. Was just wondering...Earthquake? Yes/no? I have ranged attacks I could get, as well as other things. Just wondering what you guys thought.

I'm dumb. For some reason I thought that it was Friday...mah bad.

Hopefully we'll make it the next time =)

Good fun lastnight, we keep getting more people on vent which is always fun.

We even had 4 pvp recipes drop (I think). I got a strike chance for smashing which was a nice bonus.

[/ QUOTE ]

Did this change nights? Because if it was last night for Masque, this would have been Monday...also, sad I missed it, Pang and I need to bust out our Victory toons.

I haven't really looked at the PvP sets, but I'm guessing those are worth their bonuses.

Also, I would probably replace a Blessing of the Zephyr with Blessing of the Zephyr +4 Knockback res, and add one in Sprint, too. I think that brings my KB to acceptable levels (However, I don't know if that's necessary--I can't remember, what is the +kb mag given by Dom now?)

Forgot to ask--am I gimping myself by not taking Power Blast or Bone Smasher? Would I be better to drop Earthquake or Quicksand for either of those?
