Yeah was an awesome turnout for Fight Night. Hope everyone had fun, and remember to post any questions you may have on the PvP university thread.
-
This is tonight all, see you all there. After Fight Night we will talk about setting up some PvP Classes for people new to PvP.
-
You bet Penny I will also try to get Rice to post a small/regen build.
Villain side I would vote NW but I am pretty bias.
A lot of what you should build is determined by how you will pvp. Solo VS group and zone VS arena. I have a rad/cold corr that is good for disruption on teams but bad solo. -
I just always keep my mids set to lvl 50 for IOs. Slot 30s and some of your set bonuses would carry over into Sirens and up.
Webnade is good as a -fly, but honestly, since Xadin left, you won't see many flying opponents in pvp on victory. You can also buy temp webnades in sirens if the zone is controlled by Heroes, or if you are in the arena you can always buy webnades.
As far as the +recharge, yeah that is plenty. Are you 'vet' enough to take SS without hasten?
Finally, Tactics or Tough. Its a hard call, Tough can give you about 15% resist to all (but that gets DR'd, I'm not sure what it ends up at). I usually go with Leadership because the set bonuses you can get from those powers usually are better then what you can get from Fighting pool. -

Quote:GP, worked out a fairly cheap MA/regen build.Any recommendations for someone who wants to melee in PvP? I'm thinking of tweaking out a secondary build for my MA/Regen Scrapper.
You should be able to do some pretty nice spike damage with the attacks loaded with procs. You have 3 ranged attacks which will be nice against pesky runners. I focused on +HP (2 hps shy of 2k). I would imagine that this build would cost upwards of 500-700million if you ran TFs to get the 3 LoTGs. I know that still sounds expensive but honestly it is cheaper then some of the PvP IOs and Purples on the market.

Imagine the market if you could store 1000 pieces in one rack. It would be completely void of salvage.

dUmb PvP leage (League for those not dUmb).

At this time, I don't think so. I am already at the max number of channels and I am sure other people are as well. If the need arises, to have a channel to communicate 'classes' or 'lectures' we can make one then.

Re: Builds
So what should I (as a new pvper) build for?
Build for +HP, +HP is not affected by DR so if you add 500HP by set bonuses you will still have +500HP in pvp.
Hit Points are what is going to keep you alive in pvp/duels. The nice thing about getting +HP is that you can do it without spending 1 influence or infamy.
Go get those +HP accolades and while you are at it, get the +recharge/+recovery and the +def/+resist ones as well.
Builds do not have to be super expensive to be effective. +HP set bonuses are found on a lot of different and fairly inexpensive IO sets. Get as much as you can without breaking your bank.
PROC's (Programed Random OCcurances) are another great way to build a pvp toon. PROCs do the same damage in PvP as they do in PvE, so loading up your attacks can really help to boost you damage spike and damage output together. -
Quote:real talk! lets limit the chicken sh** with alot of tankers. Seriouly, I was on the boring match in my life... davine team aiming for a tie. Why even show to matches if not even going to try to win a match. How's the players going to learn to get better if they set up to become B*^*)es! All I have to say is prepare your teammates before and maybe you can make it a close match. **TRY HARD**
Elf, your Blaster's name is Northern's Star. -
Currently,on Victory the PvP zones are either empty or close to it. Arena duels are few and far between. However, hopefully with VFN and PvP University we can spark some interest and get some new players introduced to PvP.
As far as pvp focused SGs/VGs I would point you in the direction of Barnyard Heroes, they are a close group of friends who used to zone pvp almost daily on Victory however are spending most of their time on Freedom now. -
My money is on Barrier. -
I have had a few players request information and guidance about pvp (builds,powers,AT, Strategies). Which give me the idea to hold some introduction to PvP classes for anyone interested.
So, I went to some of the most respected PvPers currently on Victory as well as City of Heroes to try to gather a group that could help new players to understand PvP in CoX.
