You know what would be a load of fun? No more than any two of the same AT on a team at once. I think that would be a blast! Maybe next time

Free Agent apps still should go in the draft thread, not this one. I will still add you, Phoenix, but for future reference all apps should go in the original draft thread.

Updated google docs free agent list, supp draft free agents can be found at the bottom. Some of them are left over from the original draft, not sure if all of them are still interested but their names were never removed.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...hl=en_US#gid=0
Just an FYI, I would check with the following people to see if they are still active before drafting them:
Targus
Nyx Nu
Hotel
Sikotics
I haven't heard from any of them and they were signed up in the initial draft but were not picked. -
In case anyone wasn't sure, there won't be any draft protection in supp drafts. We will be going off the same draft list as before, with the new free agents added in.

A couple teams have asked me to hold a supp draft Friday, please post below if you want your team to participate. At this point I have 2 teams confirmed I believe
Supp draft participants:
Casual Champions
Exile -
Exile vs. Chicken Nuggets
18-1 Exile
28-1 Exile
40-1 Exile
GGs CN. -
Rapping is a natural talent, some are just naturally better at it than others, similar to most forms of playing music and even composing music.
Either way, anybody willing to share any kind of artistic talent in that fashion has my respect. Vinnie may not be the best Rap battler out there, and he's not the first nerdy white guy to do it, but he sticks himself out there and holds his own, and he does win plenty.
Hate him or not, you gotta give props to someone who does what he does. -
-- Updated the matchups section to reflect what the RNG determined the order to be.
-- Added a section for weekly updates of rankings.
Team signups officially close Friday, first set of officials follows 2 days later on Sunday.
Thanks for everyone's support and feedback so far.

Quote:Just to forewarn you, you should be ready to have to roll some more standard arena toons... psy/em or a rad fender or poison or something along those lines. Just wanted to give you a heads up because the toons/builds you use for arena 8v8 nowadays is different from 2-3 years ago. It sounds like you would be willing to do that, so that's good, but just wanted to clarify.Originally Posted by Da_Haze

Briefly describe your experience in PvP. (If you were on other 8v8 teams list them here, any substantial experience here also)
Im just getting back into COH and use to love PVP. I was 59-30 on Champions 1v1 and in second place on the Kiosk in 2v2 with 28-3 record but then they cleared the kiosk
. I need to get my set bonuses going since i havent played in 2-3 years but have great tactics when it comes to PVP.
I would like to join a PVP SG or get with some peeps for matches. -

@ velo... I requested help, so you see i´m not that ignorant, and i don´t know it all. You on the other side are just not fine with the fact that i disagree on one freakin point with you. THAT is ignorance.
i really appreciated the knockback reduction advises a lot...
In order to keep you happy, i will seriously try snipe blaster. When it gets on my nerves, or i can´t handle it, i will switch it to something else. Even if my bonuses don´t fill 6 to 9 pages in an character description. When ( after all the years i didn´t use that power) i can play with it, i stays in.
Fine with you(s) :P?
and now go play some farms, because it´s the way this game was meant to be played

Yeah. 6 days. Just a reminder to make sure you finish PLing/IOing/Accolading toons that you want ready for the first set of officials. Also, any last minute practice matches that you want to work in would be a good idea, unless you are one of those teams that is too mad at other teams to practice with them.
The official schedule should be up Thursday, or Friday at the latest. -
Quote:Well, if you're not going to use Sniper Blast, then you shouldn't be using TF either. I can see waaaay more uses for Sniper Blast than TF. Only reason I would ever use TF is because it's nostalgiac for me, because it used to be worth using. It's not anymore, it's just a long animation that doesn't really do any good. If you're using TF because you think it's good, not because it's funny to use, then you clearly do not understand how PvP in this game works, and should probably listen to what other people say instead of arguing over something that you are clearly wrong about.Originally Posted by Titano_EU
"If you are using TF or Sniper Blast without a very good reason you're probably bad. TF was okay on Blasters pre-I13 when it actually did damage and on Defenders if you were something like Rad/Son and had lots and lots of stacked -res, but these days it's pretty much garbage."
i never said i would use sniper blast... you should not say things i never wrote
concerning total focus, it's still better than bone smasher, power push etc ( i'm so sorry that engery/ energy is so full of aweful powers :P )
and i appreciate everyones help here. i posted this build to get help, and not for hearing HOW awful everthing is. i respect your advices, but you need to be tolerant with me, it's still me playing that toon
but guys you are not the only people playing Coh.
Anyways, it's an NRG/EM blaster, that in and of itself is lol worthy. The fact that you are concerned about optimizing an NRG/EM build, but refusing to accept any of our feedback beyond arguing with it, is even funnier.
Must be nice to think that you know it all. What's that word? Ignorance, yeah that's it. -

Quote:It doesn't matter what you take in place of it, you won't be using it. You will use Sniper Blast more than Total Focus, which is the only other attack I would consider putting in there. All it is is a set bonus dump.Originally Posted by Titano_EU
sniper blast? seriously ? ...you must be kiding
If you don't like the build don't use it, I wasn't going to help you in the first place, but felt generous and bored at the same time. That build is far better than either of your 2 build ideas, Sniper Blast or not.
There's literally nothing you could take instead of that, that would be for anything more than a set bonus dump... And at least there are some times you can use Snipe. Total Focus is something you will never use, if you know how to play a Blaster.
Damned if I do damned if I don't I guess. -
I got bored, here's a build I threw together in like 5 minutes this morning... Only real issue is it's going to have end issues, but you can fix it easy with Cardiac now. It's a cheap build, you could definitely make the build better with some PvP IOs and purple sets. Let me know if the data link doesn't work for some reason. Oh, also, you can do without Task Force Commander in this build, you should still have capped HP without it.
I used Flame Mast in the build for 2 reasons: Char will help your damage a bit, and will also give you a dedicated mez if you need to detoggle a Rad or something. Mostly because Char does good damage though.
Capped HP
31% dmg bonus
36% acc bonus
45% rech bonus
35 KB pro from IOs.

Also, there's quite a bit wrong with your build, which is one reason why I was not really interested in going over it with you. Your second version almost looks worse to me, you might be better off just asking a friend to make you a new one.

I think Artic needs to keep his dogs on a leash.
Also, my point was mostly that this is the wrong section, if you had posted this in the other section, I would have had no problem giving you tips, perhaps I made my point unnecesarily ebrasive.
Anyways, if they really are merging the two forum sections, I will echo the opinion that it's a dumb move and really makes no sense, and also will just cause this section to be really confusing for some.
Oh well, what're ya gonna do, I won't lose sleep over it, I just don't see why it's even needed. -
grats?

Wow you guys are getting some real publicity, catching up to the other most popular thread in this forum! I didn't know your team was so popular.

Added the following informational section at the bottom of the OP:
Matches will be played based off of a random number generated list, similar to the draft. Each number represents each teams order in the following list:
Regular Season: (First set of numbers is a garbled chart I used to figure out the order, left it here for reference)
Team 1: W1 1v2 W2 1v3 W3 1v4 W4 1v5 W5 1v6 W6 1v7 W7 Bye
Team 2: W1 2v1 W2 2v4 W3 2v7 W4 2v6 W5 2v5 W6 Bye W7 2v3
Team 3: W1 3v4 W2 3v1 W3 3v6 W4 3v7 W5 Bye W6 3v5 W7 3v2
Team 4: W1 4v3 W2 4v2 W3 4v1 W4 Bye W5 4v7 W6 4v6 W7 4v5
Team 5: W1 5v7 W2 5v6 W3 Bye W4 5v1 W5 5v2 W6 5v3 W7 5v4
Team 6: W1 Bye W2 6v5 W3 6v3 W4 6v2 W5 6v1 W6 6v4 W7 6v7
Team 7: W1 7v5 W2 Bye W3 2v7 W4 7v3 W5 7v4 W6 7v1 W7 7v6
Week 1: 1v2, 3v4, 5v7, team 6 sits out/takes lineups
Week 2: 1v3, 2v4, 5v6, team 7 sits out/takes lineups
Week 3: 1v4, 2v7, 3v6, team 5 sits out/takes lineups
Week 4: 1v5, 2v6, 3v7, team 4 sits out/takes lineups
Week 5: 1v6, 2v5, 4v7, team 3 sits out/takes lineups
Week 6: 1v7, 3v5, 4v6, team 2 sits out/takes lineups
Week 7: 2v3, 4v5, 6v7, team 1 sits out/takes lineups
Week 8: Break week before playoffs
Playoffs: Playoffs will continue the points of the regular season, but only the top 4 teams may participate. The top 2 teams after the semi-finals will faceoff in the finals with each match being worth 2 points, while the 3rd and 4th seed will play in another set of finals only worth 1 point each. During the semi-finals of the playoffs, matches will still only be worth 1 point across the board.
Semi-finals: 1v4, 2v3
Finals: 1v2, 3v4
(Numbers represent each teams seed which is based off their total points)
Assume there will be breaks for the weekend of thanksgiving and Christmas if applicable. -
First of all, I think you meant to put this in the other PvP section, not the arena boards.
Second, that build looks awful. -
