You brave soul. How chewie's the glass?

PvP Zone combat has been quieter I've found since i9 hit, which is only to be expected really. Maybe bar RV due to the drops. Here's hoping for a RV population increase due to double xp; only thing better than killing hypocritical moaning farmers, is killing them when their rewards are greater

I can see Hidden + Stealthed Stalkers with my Blaster through Targeting Done and Tactics both running, although I have to be pretty close. From a Stealth thread I remember TD/Tactics just being over the Hide/Stealth concealment value.

Hide + Invisibility I'm not sure anyone could see through bar someone using yellows on top on + perception powers, but since you have to turn it off to attack it's only really useful for staying very hidden until you jump someone with a critical and such.

Maneuvers is best for Defenders, but is pretty sucky anyhow if I remember the numbers from the CoH character builder correctly. I would go with Replusion Field or Force Bubble instead at 32; either one can be very useful for pushing back enemies and helping out allies in over their head.

I'd go with Force Bubble, mainly for the reason it's more impressive a power and better in PvP, but also because of the larger range. For this reason though it must be used carefully due the the mass aggro you can attract to yourself and the positions you can end up putting your enemies in.

The mass aggro can be a good thing at times though as it can work as a makeshift taunt and get enemies to hit (and miss) you as you hide in your Personal Force Field (hopefully with Dispersion Bubble up too) and give a Tanker that much needed breather.

Nothing but people standing around talking garbage. Is it always like that. Thinking I might reroll my defiant toons on union.

The differance being?

Just scroll down the list at the person selling them and check each one, you'll find it. It'll be further down.

I played a MA/ Stalker up to 35 and liked it a lot. Crippling Axe Kick (Think that's the name) is great for -Fly and Immobilising peeps. I loved the knockback of Crane Kick mostly for giggles, but nice for pvp when someone is on the edge of a building, although that could be classed as giggles Or for getting them out of an area. Eagle's Claw has to be one of the coolest moves in the game too, and it's bloody decent to boot, disorient chance and occasionally you'll get a double critial from Hide which feels good, esspecially when it saves your behind. Build Up + AS + Placate + Eagle's Claw gets addictive.

I just find MA/ more fun to play.

Yeah, I was kinda hoping the you'd be able to fight in the actual cage, so others could watch, rather than being taken to a copy of the cage

[/ QUOTE ]

would be easy to do as well seeing as there is pvp flagging code that is location specific in warburg at the bases.

[/ QUOTE ]

Not for heroes vs villains though. I think there would need to be some fairly major game code changes.

[/ QUOTE ]

If that's the case then have the cage at the same point in Pocket D as it is now, but have it as a seperate place, a different map entirely, then transmit the images of the fight onto four walls behind the bars at the correct angles.

Right so I'll jump straight in. NO CAGE FIGHTING IN POCKET D?!?! Again we are teleported or 'Danger Roomed' to other far off land that's most probably ripped right from an existing place in CoX. I was hoping that it was going to be more than the Arena in Pocket D, but that is exactly what it seems like.

I can understand that it would be more differcult to localise the PvP in a non combat area, but I believe I am paying enough for this tweeking.

Sure the effect is the same; people fight, but the atmosphere isn't, at least to me. I wanted people crowded around watching others fight close to them. And sure, the confined enviroment would be much less friendly to some AT's, Stalkers first came to mind, but it would be much fun for Brutes, Scrappers, Tankers and some other AT's depending on the powersets.

I'd love to see this in the near future and the inclusion of betting on individuals in the match.

Get rid of the nonce who floats in the middle of club and hire a new manager!

I found Storm/Psi a surprizingly good soloer. But that was Issue 3, dunno what tis like now.

Damn your typo! He can't sig you now

I was thinking about Repulse only to use it in PvE, with lots of mobs around me. It would be a good damage mitigation. But I PvP I suspect powers like Acrobatics will make it useless.

Were you able to run the 3 shields and Repulse with only Energy Drain?

[/ QUOTE ]

I can't speak for him, but I know my idea of fun wouldn't be managing to keep those four toggles up with Energy Drain and Converse Power. I respeced Stamina out and replaced it with these two power on my level 35 Stalker and hated it. EA isn't much management once you got ya toggles up, and lets you get on with stalking, Energy Drain and Converse Power as a replacement to Stamina, went against this. I wouldn't like to play without Stamina until later levels where I could get these powers either.

Many thanks to:

Wondering Fury
Scrath
Electric Eels
and Polar Star, a truly outstanding team.

That really was a lot of Freaks

Cancelled.

I want to try and get at least four people together for the 2nd respec today. 11am for now but can change if need be. Level 34 is the minium requirement. Level 36 Assualt Rifle/Energy Manipulation Blaster myself. If interested please reply here and give me a tell ingame (Gargoyle Rex).

Plus its more public so people get a better sense of victory.

[/ QUOTE ]

And killing someone who needs this sense, while they are dueling is a beautiful thing

[ QUOTE ]
A FoTM build in the hands of an attitude-of-the-month player is something else though .

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes. Well said sir.

I prefere Stun if only for the dudie animation. And being an Energy Malnipulation Blaster means you probably gonna get up close and personal a fair amount, so the range has never bothered me.

[ QUOTE ]
lags enough to put me orf in there

[/ QUOTE ]

Aye for sure. I run fine in Siren's even when there's many a player about, but Warburg with ten players slogging it out it is a nightmare. No point.

Bae, Smae, beep beep's and curses!
