One for each PvP zone?

Not from the Rangers base tho! Full sg...not even Scrapapocalypse could go 7 to 1!

[/ QUOTE ]

That sounds like a bet to me!

Soul Transfer owns Revive. What could be better than a self rez aoe disorient aggro magnet.

Well, see, your not interested in PvP so what does it matter?

Ive played alongside all the Scrapper Secondaries in a variety of combinations. I have never seen /Regen out performed by one of them in PvP.

Thats why /Regen is good at PvP

[/ QUOTE ]

I wish people would make up their minds... Regen is terrible for PvP... Regen is great for PvP... How am I supposed to know if it's any good if you lot can't make your minds up?

[/ QUOTE ]

Don't listen to people who say that /Regen is bad at PvP then. Thinking that is completely out of whack with in-game reality. A cursory run through a PvP zone would show people that.

A good Mastermind with the Dark secondary is often a surprise star of PVP.
Scrappers & regen's aren't neccesarily the gods people make out. Integration maybe stops you from flying around a bit, but when so many powers toggle drop it actually counts for squat. Any player with a slow, immob, or debuf can rip a scrapper apart in short order. Playing a scrapper often seems a little too similar to having to play a stalker. Not very heroic at all.

Pop one BF. Turn on one toggle. Be back to full effectiveness.

Thats why /Regen is good at PvP, it doesn't have to faff around turning all its resistances back on.

[ QUOTE ]
Save up and raid someone else once they get an item of power though

[/ QUOTE ]

It looks increasingly likely that this is the only way we'll ever get our grubby mitts on an IoP. Ho hum.

[ QUOTE ]
THROUGHLY reccommended to do the trial with as many players as you can, we did it with 10 and the whole thing just fell through.

[/ QUOTE ]

So what your saying is that a small SG with about eight active members might as well not bother? Great.

When playing a Controller, you should never ever attack Scrappers. They are impossible for you to defeat, and if the KO you they will delete your character. Seriously.

[ QUOTE ]
My tips - Forget Weave, leave Tough till after Stamina or you're gonna make all those DA Scrapper's end usage look manageable.

[/ QUOTE ]

If you took every single toggle available to you that still would be a far off dream.

[ QUOTE ]
You could release issue #3 if you want this months prize...

[/ QUOTE ]

But that would involve some effort on my part...

I think he will be back next wednesday, or as I've taken to calling it The Day That Blue Comes Back from Chumpsville, Population Him.

[ QUOTE ]
I think B will realise this was done in August Q

[/ QUOTE ]

I mean't the smoking cat, chump.

[ QUOTE ]
Who are you, The_Question?

[/ QUOTE ]

Erm, I'm The_Question...

[ QUOTE ]
But for about 5 seconds, it would look sweet. We could blow Hami up in the air and I'd be all 'You got like three feet of air that time.'

[/ QUOTE ]

No, your game would freeze up then five mutes later you'd suddenly find yourself chewing floor and surrounded by Mitos. But its a noble endeavour, I support nuclear proliferation afterall.

Blues a chump. I hate chumps.

[ QUOTE ]
Some people have been going with the medicine pool rather than the fighting pool and slotting up Aid Self. It does, however, mean yet another click power.

[/ QUOTE ]

Whats the point in Aid Self when your /Regen?

Don't put more than one slot in Combat Jumping. The bonus Defence your getting is trivial to say the least.

I'll try to be their, so that I can have a god moan at you all. I hate the Test Server.

[ QUOTE ]
so i just figured we didnt have enough fire-power

[/ QUOTE ]

How many Radiation Defender/Controllers did you have? Stacked -Regen has been the way to go for quite some time.

[ QUOTE ]
Then we'll have to be careful, Prof, won't we? It's an option

[/ QUOTE ]

Why are you talking to people who aren't here? Using Controller is the proven way. You want to cram the core with every single AT that turns, you are going to fail. Your powers will stop working, the Mito spawn will lag you out and you'll have to wait five minutes before the game even realises your dead.

Your not just fighting Hamidon, your fighting the technical limitations of the game. Most people who turn up at Hamidon Raids fail to realise this.

[ QUOTE ]
It doesn't bother me, but after the last raid, we all realised we do NOT have enough fire-power, and the place to find it is the scrappers and tankers - altought they don't have holds and such, it is STILL damage.

[/ QUOTE ]

Damage isn't the issue. You need to hold Hamidon, or the Mito spawn and related lag will finish the raid. You get him held, you can stack -Regen powers on him to flatline his HP and start pummeling him with Blasters. You can have al the damage dealers in the world pounding away at him, but when the lag kicks in you fail the raid. You have to minimise the number of people in the core, and I'm afraid that means getting rid of Scrappers and Tanks.

[ QUOTE ]
Now, onto my next point, and I don't want to insult ANYONE of the Jersey-sucessful-raid planners, but a big part of the lack of people joining the raid is the fact that the scrappers and tankers were HARDLY even allowed anywhere NEER Hamidon. Yes, I know the lag was HUGH, I've been there, but during the last raid I only saw one scrapper.

[/ QUOTE ]

Scrappers and Tankers are practically useless on a Hamidon raid. My only level 50 is a Scrapper, I know if I turn up their I'm not going to be doing anything constructive once the Mito's are down. So if those Tankers and Scrappers don't turn up, its hardly going to kill the raid because you don't need them.

If that bothers you, complain to Cryptic. They set up Hamidon this way, no-one else.

[ QUOTE ]
The idea about nukes is a good one, a -res and -regen debuff that's available to all with a little effort.

[/ QUOTE ]

Have you seen the animaton on those temp powers? Enough people fired those off at once, you'd definitely kill the raid off through lag.

Like Ravenswing said, you get a faster cycle time by 1 or 2 seconds with the third slot of recharge in Reconstruction. Theres got to be somewhere else in your build that can make better use of that slot.
