    I tend to find storm's main problem is that it sticks out like a sore them when played badly in a team, when played well, I love teaming with them

    [/ QUOTE ]

    My main problem with it is that its infinitely better when taken as a Controller secondary.

    There are some nifty tricks you can do with Trick Arrow shots, like using Kinetics powers off the Oil Slick. But yeah, its a debuff set thats not as good as other debuff sets. Still it looks nice, and if your not bothered about being uber its at least worth a testdrive.

    Doesnt MA have toggle dropper ?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I don't think so, its my understanding that its the secondary status effects that drop your toggles when (And if) they come into effect. Ive certainly never been toggle dropped by a Martial Arts Scrapper without an accompyaning Mez.

    I could be wrong, so I'd like to hear from some MA PvP enthusiasts.

    I thought that I read that characters are 'balanced' during PvP, could anyone give me a very basic explantion as to how this works?

    You get exemped down to a set level, either one dictated by the zone or creator of the Arena match. This exemping works exactly the same as it does in PvE. But remember: you don't lose slots, or whats in the slots. So a level 50 exemping into Bloody Bay will have a definite advantage over those who are actually within the level range.

    No Scrapper powers that I know of have inherent toggle dropping abilities. The status effects that are tacked on don't count before anyone starts

    Hi everybody
    I want to know if you have some experience with the Trick Arrow Primary.
    I heard its crappy, but is that really true?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I think its a horrible Primary for a Defender, but then I think Storm is too. Give it a shot, see what you think.
  8. Im not sure you need three end reducers in those toggles. I'd gor for 3/2 slotting myself, and invest the extra slots in attacks.

    Apparently enough to deal with two brutes, a corruptor and a mastermind. Thats a hell of a lot of damage output you were soaking up. I know what an Stone/ Brute can dish out, and two of tem would simply overwhelm your resists. Add a Corruptor to the equation, not to mention the one man army core...

    Like I said, you were facing four bad players if you walked out of that alive.

    At once instance I was, solo, tanking 2 brutes, 1 corrupter and a MM... When I finaly got one of the brutes down to a reasonable amount of hp

    [/ QUOTE ]

    You were doing this as a DM/DA? Damn, those were some poor players you were fighting...
  12. Do not six slot your powers with a single enhancement type. Three tops. The extra slots your putting in are practically worthless: your getting a very small return on your investment. Put those slots elsewhere.

    You may want to pick up Tough from the fighting pool to increase your S/L resists as much as possible. I'm not 100% sure if its needed, I abandonded my Tank with ED.

    Oh, Recharge reductions are pointless in Assault.. Put Endurance reduction enhancements in there.

    what are you on about....nothing is actually hidden these are all within the power notes and regarding pvp there is a lot to know.

    Theres an absolute ton of things that aren't in the powers notes, like actual hard toggle dropping probabilities.

    sorry to break up the interesting conversation you guys were having :/

    but my gf has made a scrapper on union from my account and would like to find a new home for her.

    she's a lvl12 dm/invul scrapper...however i see that you're actually all "horsemen" of the scrapocalypse...any chance of expanding it and having a horsewoman in your esteemed company?

    regards
    capt

    [/ QUOTE ]

    To be honest, she's better of joining a more active supergroup. Were not on all that much anymore and when we are on its usually all as level 50's.

    Toggle dropping can sometimes be achived using brawl, but it's unlikely to be very useful in any PvP match.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Rubbish. Put it on autofire and you'll ruin any non-Granite Tank or toggle based Scrappers day.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Bit of a silly reply really, do you think any tank or scrapper is going to stand there long enough for you to land enough hits with brawl to drop all toggles at a 30% chance?

    Sometimes I'm staggered at how little people know about PvP in this game...
