Hey guys, just wondering which zones are generally the most used PvP zones?
-
Hard to answer.. I got a number of fav. depends on my mood.. But I think Ill have to go with my SS/Inv brute..
Activate does toggles and start smashing people around only stopping for a very short while to recover and then smash on... Its awesome ^^
Only thing making me cry about it, is that he only does smashing damage, but hell it looks fun xD -
At least we are starting to get some mixed opinions so far ^^ the first half of this thread is simply pro corr :P
As I see it a blaster can do nothing a corr cant, only he does it better ^^
However, a corr will be much easier to solo as they are not dependent on others to protect him all the time, as a Blaster relies on his mates or suffer the consequences of being alone..
Having all this said, I have a hard time figuring out what I actually like the most :P I mean the blaster is great fun, but in some cases broken.. the corr is a little less fun, as I have to worry about using defensive skills aswell, but it means I can take care of myself xD gwarh
What annoys me the most about the Blaster is their Defiance.. The buff it gives is ridiculous I must say, there I said it.. Its way to low, or it last for to short amount of time to actually make a reliable damage difference -

I don't know why shield has this reputation of using so much more endurance than other sets. It's just not true. Looking at the ongoing toggle costs of all the brute sets, we get:
Stone (non-granite): 2.03 EPS
Dark: 2.0 EPS, plus dark regen
Electric: 1.25 EPS
Stone (granite, mud pots, rooted): 1.248 EPS
Energy: 1.04 EPS
Fire: 1.04 EPS
SR: 0.78 EPS, plus another ~0.1 for practiced brawler
WP: 0.832 EPS
Invul: 0.73 EPS
Shield: 0.78 EPS, plus another ~0.1 for active defense
So basically, shield costs less than dark, electric, energy, fire, and both varieties of stone, is on par with SR, and costs more than invul and WP. Now, electric and energy have good endurance management, but shields is still cheaper than dark, fire, and stone, equal to SR, and only slightly more costly than invul. Additionally, even though the effect is less pronounced for brutes, shield's AAO actually saves you endurance by letting you kill stuff in fewer hits.
In other words, shield doesn't really cost much more endurance than comparable sets. You're just running into the same problem almost everyone does pre-stamina. -

Demons VS Thugs I think Demons would win. Simply because they are Demons and probably Immortal or would come back after regenerating or something.. Where as Thugs are just really tough Humans, which are not demons.. So once you kill a Thug assuming the porter thingy don't work.. He is just dead.. Unless of course he goes to hell and becomes a Demon. But then again he's now a Demon so Demons win again..
Yea so Demons VS Thugs, Demons win.. -
Quote:then go invu in my opinion.. Sounds like youre not really sold on the stone defense concept, so why even bother with it ?.. And yes I can follow your thinking, slow and -re isnt my idea of a great power either ^^Originally Posted by trendee
Just wondering if anyone had more insight into the two variants other than
brute->more dmg, tank->more survivability
any significant playstyle change with either AT. The reason I ask is that I would like to go brute for the higher damage, but I really want the Earth EPP from the tank pools.
And I suppose a really dumb question, but is not getting granite a bad move? The slow and -recharge really put me off =/
edit:
and the idea of a powerset being centered around 1 power that changes everything before it also makes me sad
But from what I can see then the biggest difference between the tank and the brute is that the brute got SMASH and the tank doesnt... -
Quote:I would pretty much agree with you on this, but Stone do have some awesome AoE capabilities that SS does not ^^Originally Posted by Doctor_Bob
ss...foot stomp. ok, that said. stone is really awesome in its own right, but if i had to pick one....it would be ss. fs and kob+rage and fury. ouch!!

Quote:Will a defender even be able to compete with the Villains on his own ? :POriginally Posted by InnerGlow
OK, so I haven't played since i12 and I have recently picked up the game... I guess I just missed the game.
I really want to roll a (zone based) PVP defender and I wanted to get everyone's ideas. has anyone tried a good zone based defender? Any good builds?
I am thinking one of the following:
1) Kin/Elec - for massive end drain (annoying the crap out of people) plus I wouldn't need to worry much about a travel. Though, how do you think the damage might be?
2) Kin/Rad - for the slows... though, would this set me good for anything else?
I am a BIG zone PvPer and really would like to do something different. I usually run SC, but open to other ideas. RV and SC are the only ones I would really run. They seems to be the most crowded.
If this does not work out I think I might try a villain, so if you have any ideas that might be good PvP wise on villain side based on a similar build please speak up
. I am more of a range player, but if I go villain I am not against close up fights.
Thanks everyone! -
Quote:Well wasnt really comparing top damage dealers, just the blaster vs the corr as they are very similar, tho the corr is a weird result of the defender clashed with the blaster it seems :POriginally Posted by JayboH
Yes, a corruptor adds damage above a defender, so that first sentence is wrong already. Is the defiance argument discounting scourge altogether? I don't see it mentioned anywhere, and it wasn't our conversation - I was replying to Le Blanc. Comparing top damage classes from blue to red is blaster vs brute anyhow.
Which makes one wonder, how does the defender stand in all this? Same defensive capabilities as the corr and basically the same offensive power, but they dont have scourge.. so do they even compete with either? -
Look at the title, which would you go for, and why???
-
I was wondering.
Most of the Brutes main power sets consume a lot of stamina, and shield defense seem to consume A LOT of stamina, so does it really matter which main you choose? as SD will make sure you wont have anything to fight with anyways, or is it a rather confused view on the set?
I mean, Invu has great protection against almost anything, and just seems waaaay better than the shield ??? -
Quote:I see the point, that the base damage of a Blaster is noticable higher than that of a corr, but they still seem rather exposed, and if they lose the upperhand in a fight they go down, were a corr or def could simply pull a bit back and start over so to say.Originally Posted by Kaatrina78
I have a corrupter rad/pain sure it has better survivability cause i can heal myself
but my electric, fire, rad, sonic/mm blasters are by far the best blasters and with a good tank everything has much better survivability that's what tanks are for.
I would prefer my blasters over my corr any day simply because the damage output that i can do and drain psi is insane turns you into a re-gen blaster for 30 seconds long enough for me to destroy my enemies before they get the drop on me and my drain psi is up every mob.
It's also a good de'buff against Av's, Gm's people that have seen my fire or electric/mm blaster know what i mean Pure Fun.
By the way i think Mental Manipulation is the best blaster secondary.
MM seems pretty good I admit, but i feel in love with Energy Manipulation I must admit hehe, the power rush is freaking fun, and it looks good and sensible for my avatar which has DP for main.
However, Ive decidede to press a DP/EM and a DP/Kin corr to level 20 and then decide which to stick with, perhaps Ill do both xD .. -

none go to Freedom.

Well thx a lot Circuit Boy, awesome reply, and you break it down quite nicely... I will try to level both a bit more and see what feels best for my play style ^^
And thx cuz I had no idea that there were different base damage modifiers ^^ -
Okay so here is my thoughts so far... I started up a Blaster and got him to level 10, yeah ino woaw I'm awesome -_-.. Anyways it gave me an impression of the AT. So the blaster seems to have a lot of firepower, and thats fine and all, but their inherieted skill seems rather useless at this point. I mean it will probably not hit more than a 30-35% buff on your damage (Im running a DP/Energy) and with the rather low damage at this level then 30% of 0 is still 0, so not much of a buff there.. I can only guess that at higher levels this skill really starts to kick in, but a major problem is still if you get hit, slowed, knocked down or whatever you lose the benefit you just build up, and if your not on top in the beginning of the fight you wont win...
So i started a Corr to compare, and boy do they seem far supior? !! .. their scourge seems like 10 times better as it can dish out so much more damage on tougher enemies, and they got the ability to heal themselves.
Guess my new question is, those Blasters start to shine at some point?, cuz up till now its just been a rather fun but pointless toon to play.. -
Hey yall! Just wondering which EU server that has the most PvP active?
-
Hey guys! Im rejoining the game, but was wondering which EU server has the most active pvp`?
-
Hey guys.. I'm rejoining the game.. Which server does have the most PvP would you say? Dont wanna waste my time making lvl 50 with no one to fight xD
-
Just wondering what the crit chance are in PvP ??
-
cool thx for the reply ^^
-
Oh sounds awesome :P Well thx for the reply ^^ I can see how they could be a hybrid I guess ^^
But how do they really fare in pvp then? I mean they wont have the time to build up their rage all the sudden ? -
Well, whats the change of making a critical strike in a PvP situation ?
-
Hey yall, I just wanted to ask, as I never played tank myself, but a lot of people seem to say that Brutes are nothing but a twisted and weak sister of the tank, is that correct ? O_o
-
Hey all, I'm pretty new to this game and was thinking.. These two AT's look alike a lot, but can someone put down the Pros and Cons compared to each other?
Would be awesome
