[...] Another example, there was a sonic / sonic defender in sirens some days ago. His conclusion was the the build was [censored] for PvP, but the person never saw how big a difference his buffs made when he used them on me. Now the question is did he make a bad build for PvP - No he just didnt understand that his role is as a support toon and not a person who gets the kills. If he had decided to skip most of his attacks and only took support tools, he could have teamed with me and we would have kicked the [censored] out of the others together. [...]

Yeah, I can see how having taken "Sonic Cage", "Disruption Field", "Clarity" and "Sonic Repulsion" instead of the attacks would have increased my own survivability immensely... no, wait - I can't (aside from "Sonic Cage" maybe... but then again not). Paragon Popidol is L22 and you don't get "Sonic Dispersion" until L26.
Besides, she's a (solo) offender build for PvE... taken into PvP during a moment of boredom.

Since when? I certainly havn't been able to pick it myself yet. -

[...] sure the stalker is powerful we do a AS and the enemy goes like w00t [censored] [censored] and we go like ROFL NOOB and then he either panics or run away or die. [...]

Or looks at health plummet below half, clicks Dull Pain... and tadaaa! you are looking at a Tanker at full health - and then some - again... with Knockout Blow queued for attack

[...] I'd say that alone was enough to warrant the crash; the length of time Unstoppable lasts means you'll get some serious [censored] kicking in before it crashes on you.
[/ QUOTE ]
Yep. On pretty much every occasion I use it on my Tanker, after some time - a fairly long time in my own estimate - I start wondering when it's going to crash... then quite some more time goes by, and it finally does.

They fixed Jump Kick?
[/ QUOTE ]
I've been kicking over bosses and heroes/avs since i respecced to get it around level 26 when i realised that combat jumping was completely pointless
Actually kept the Back Alley Brawler on his backside for a good deal of the fight against him with JK on auto-fire - which was a good thing considering the amount of hurt he was laying down when he was up and hitting.
[/ QUOTE ]
It used to knock mobs down/back... with the rule more than the exception that the mob would get back up instantly while you were finishing up animation.
But if it doesn't do that anymore, I guess it's actually a (more) useful power now (not that I'd ever take it over Combat Jumping myself)? -
[ QUOTE ]
[...] Combat Jumping is a waste of power in my book, it just doesnt add enough defence anymore. I would go for jump kick in stead - its really usefull to keep Bosses, Heroes and Arch-Villains on their backsides while you pound them into the ground [...]

Unyielding at 24?!
Can't seem to find Invincibility... -

Don't feel bad... I usually swipe through them on my own.

You get less powers in Warburg, which can be a pain in the neck if your missing something really juicy.

As opposed to Siren's Call or Bloody Bay? -

[/ QUOTE ]
Teleporting villains can be good fun. I have - on several occasions - gone AFK in Siren's Call and come back, finding myself standing around in some remote location (unharmed usually). One time I had been teleported from the gate up on some tall, tall building. I'd have loved to see that as it happened.

[/ QUOTE ]
That's one of the reasons I go to Siren's Call when wanting to PvP. -
Please, no. There's enough of it on the forums already.

Shadow Punch recharges faster and is thus better for building Fury.
[/ QUOTE ]
On the flip side... not much point in having full fury if u dont have decent attacks to back it up
[/ QUOTE ]
I'd rather fire off Shadow Punch twice than Smite once.
[/ QUOTE ]
I'd rather fire off both
[/ QUOTE ]
How would you do that at L1? -
Congratulations.

I notice you are missing 'Smite'. A much better power than shadow punch.

Awww, poor thing - you actually need to work for it now? Lazy bum!

[ QUOTE ]
But think how much fury you'd have if you only had Death Shroud... I know how much because that's how my DA/DA brute is built
[/ QUOTE ]
I('d) have the same amount of Fury without CoF and only DS as with both. -
[ QUOTE ]
I'd just like to add with a DM/DA you REALLY do need stamina way before 20. [...]
[/ QUOTE ]
Yeah, I'd like to see that.
-
[ QUOTE ]
I wouldn't recommend CoF as a brute, take Dark Regen instead.
CoF will increase your surivability but its extremely endurance heavy and will mean you get less fury. [...]
[/ QUOTE ]
Unless he takes Death Shroud. I have both, and I've never noticed any significant decrease in Fury.
With 3 Endurance Reduction SOs, Cloak of Fear becomes quite manageable. -
Definitely get Stamina earlier... either at 20 or 22 - unless you're going to be slotting heavily for endurance reduction.
While you do have Dark Consumption early on, I personally find it to be available too little (with 3 +3 Recharge Reduction SOs even)... and that's with Stamina. -

I'd be interested if someone could dig up issue 4 release notes?

Nice, if only they'd get around to fix the bugged Tanker secondaries now
