Its not a scraper, thats for damn sure.

I blame llamas. We wouldn't have lost the war in Guam if it wasn't for those steenkin' Llamas.

If you add an A, an O and a N to the word cry, you get the word Crayon. I like drawing.

It gives me a tiny ray of hope that Cryptic do sometimes think.

[/ QUOTE ]

Unfortunately, Cryptic rarely think of such things until its gone live, thus souring people on PvP right from the get go.

Just imagine the fun you'll be having in PvP when your toggles start getting dropped every other minute. Oh, the fun we have!!!

[/ QUOTE ]
I don't PvP much but isn't having lots of toggles in PvP an advantage as there is less chance of the all important mez protection being dropped? This is from my Inv tank with 6 toggles. However it is a very irritating advantage.

[/ QUOTE ]

Nope, because I have very few "frivolous" toggles. And, seeing as theres no audio cue to tell you when somethings gone down, you have to be constantly watching your status bar to see whats up and whats down.

I run the following toggles in PvP:

Focussed Accuracy
Combat Jumping
Acrobatics
Cloak of Darkness
Cloak of Fear
Dark Embrace
Murky Cloud
Osbidian Shield
Tough

Of those, I can probably lose Cloak of Darkness, Combat Jumping and Acrobatics before my build starts getting seriously hampered. Those three are fairly irreverent though, because a good toggle dropping Blaster can strip me of most of my shields very quickly, and depending on their damage types/secondary effects they only need to get one lucky toggle down to screw me over. Ever lost Murky Cloud just before an Energy Blapper punchs you? Not fun.

Thats /DA's major weakness. Once those toggles are down I have nothing to fall back on apart from my self heal, which isn't really great if I'm only in range of one person or its still recharging. Regen, Invuln and SR have all got some passive damage mitigation.

I have health.

[ QUOTE ]
I don't know about that.having teamed regularly with a few regens, and big mob can take their health down pretty quick, indeed I've seen a few Regen's lying face down with 'ARGH, Missed my click!' written above them.

[/ QUOTE ]

Whereas I don't have as many clicks to make, so just go "Aaaargh!".

[ QUOTE ]
To my knowledge, none of the 'safe zones' are actually marked as such

[/ QUOTE ]

Then thats something that needs to be fixed, especially as its possible for new entrants to be sniped off the platform. Take more than thirty seconds to find your first content and you could be dead while your still reading the mission info. Thats not fun when it happens in PvE so I doubt its fun when the "ZOMG HAxxx0RZ!" crowd start doing it to you.

Just imagine the fun you'll be having in PvP when your toggles start getting dropped every other minute. Oh, the fun we have!!!

[ QUOTE ]
I would only advise playing regen if you are happy clicking a self-heal power every 30 seconds or so. It is the best one for hit and run tactics and tends to act reasonably well against all enemy types.

[/ QUOTE ]

Regen? Hit and run atacks? What game are people playing, because it sure as hell isn't CoH.

A decent /Regen will be able to outlast all other Scrapper secondaries.

28 : Obsidian Shield endred(28) endred(34) damres(34) damres(34) damres(36)

Just a question about this..many have said that this is not just dmg protection vs PSI but normal foe dmg too.- is this the case? as im at that lvl 40 stage where rikti and other bad PSI monsters lurk. so will be using this at next slot lvl to increase. (im a spines/da)

[/ QUOTE ]

IIRC its only Psi and Mez Resistance, their may be a little bit of negative in there but I'm not 100% sure off the top of my head.

You should always have Obsidian Shield on by the way.

[ QUOTE ]
You wont get killed in blood bay even by gankers thats why ou have that PvP count down. More than enough time for click that contact and head back to PvE zones.


[/ QUOTE ]

Quick question: when you get the introductory mission, are you told that your not safe in the PvP starting area in Bloody Bay? If not, its a little out of order to expect new players to run in and out in thirty seconds.

[ QUOTE ]
I may be wrong, but i was under the impression that each repulsed foe costed extra end for a 'troller running whirlwind. I may be the bloody minded sort, but just running at them 'till it drops seems like a valid strategy to me?

[/ QUOTE ]

Eight Controllers on the team and no-ones buffing Endurance Recovery?

[ QUOTE ]
But that's really got nothing to do with the mez nerf that this thread started out disscussing. Sure, it may now be a "why 'trollers are overpowered" thread. But ultimatly there are allways ways round slows (mainly kinetisicst), and they aren't the issue at hand.

[/ QUOTE ]

If the mez nerf makes Controllers more powerful, and they're already very powerful, surely thats the heart of the issue? Its a change that makes no sense because there were no issues with Controllers. They lost a bit of control and got more damage. Now theyve got some control back. If their getting another buff, what about the rest of who were underpowered in PvP?

[ QUOTE ]
as it just adds another edge to the game for a scrapper. Still, we shall see.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, it makes them need to shop for Break Frees for PvE, not just PvP. And buying inspirations has always been laugh a minute!

Our damage and resists already got nerfed. We don't really need anymore of an "edge".

[ QUOTE ]
you can be attacked in the bloodybay pvp zone, as soon as you arrive which means for some on slow loading comps that they arrive dead or damaged.

Or you arrive and find yourself tped off the base surrounded by a load of ninja wannabes stroking their knives while dribbling.

[/ QUOTE ]
Yes you can be attacked in the safe zone but the attacker would die instantly (with debt) after the first hit because of the police drones.

[/ QUOTE ]

Nope. We found a spot right near the helipad that was out of Police drones range. If we wanted to grief people, a few Blasters with Snipe would decimate new players.

There at the SE corner of Talos, too, near the DA gate.
