no toxic protection???? erm think someone needs to re read the descript on healing flames again....
just most tend to use it as a self heal/hp buff and forget about the other effect

:P lol go for it if you want lmao

just curious what are peoples fav-/hated pvp zones and why?
just i've tended to notice that sirens call tends to be the busyest for pvping on defiant.

Bloody bay - personaly dont really like, frequently a pain in the to find peeps to fight, and most times it's peeps running missions etc don't really see much pvp happening in there.

Sirens call - persoanly like, the bounty systems nice, and if someone stops in 1 area long enough you got a rough marker showing you the kidna area your bounty's in, only things dont like is the fact if someones just after the time badge in there they stood in a base so you bounty is un collectable :P be nice if cryptic did a / command to change your bounty target in that case (something like /reset_bounty_target) things dont like is the way sometimes things take shall we say an edge to it, ie player x says "hey player z you got a fotm build and you still cr**" and player z resonds like "go **** yourself you noob ****head" and things snowball from there :/ but end of day thats down to players, also hate that at times when one side or the others out numbered, the out numbered side tend to base hug and snipe, so then the other side starts tping peeps out, so then the out numbered side starts drone tping etc
be nice if cryptic did things so you try to tp foe into or out of the base it auto tps you to the target means peeps gonna stop the tp trick, would also like to see snipe etc interupted everytime, stops peeps sniping from base as well, some of the cells in some of the missions in pve have that feature, and it'd be nice way of stopping base sniping.

on the whole though like sirens call for fact that usualy you can find someone to fight

warburg - like and dont like. reason being is sometimes it's busy and sometimes it's not, and when there's not many players in warburg, it can be frustrating trying to find anyone, like the free for all nature of the zone though just shame you cant form mixed teams of heroes and villians im there as well

Recluses Victory - like and dont like
i like because it's a high lvl zone so get to use all your powers, just most peeps you see in there are gen- just badge hunting or getting risk free XP from using heavys on the pill boxes :/

so what's peeps fav- disliked zones and why?

cheers smyte, aid selfs kinda the one kinda having to think about hard, reason for the invis/phase is to hit -percept cap cause of the amount of ++precept floating round RV, plus the phase comboed with temp power phase 1 min of phase to get away heal etc. so can see why debate about hasten/ss invis/phase aid other(or stim)/aid self

This is a build i've kinda got in mind, any comments or suggestions folks?

/dark, end heavy as hell, go /dark and see how fast your end burns lol

gratz and about time

Lol

one of the things been debating is possibley doing a dark/ stalker, questions i have is pvp wise, if you hit a target with TOF, does placate break the TOF or not, thinking being able to go BU&AS, TOF, placate etc be a nasty combo but not sure about it as i dont have a dark/ stalker was also thinking dark/dark might be good for pvp, know several of the PAoe stuff in /dark is hide breaking but was thinking kicking in the AOE fear jsut after hitting something with AS be very handy for surviving lol

minotaur, i'd call your alt a cow, lol beive minotaurs dont like being mistaken for the female of their species :P
with regards to teledroning, depends, sometimes it's accidental, hell i've done it accidentaly a few times, always appologise to the player for it happening, but someone stood next to a drone REPEATEDLY and deliberatly doing it, that to me would get a pertition, valid tactic? erm nope, end of day all it does it **** other players off, theres no skill what so ever involved, and unless your sets either includes tp resistance or you got some rugged insps then exactly how do you prevent it or have a chance against it? deliberate constant droning of the same players would constitue griefing, just cause there's a load of heroes/villians outside the base, THERE ARE OTHER WAYS OUT OF THE BASE, get out and come at them fr an entirely different direction as for "trash talking" it depends entirely on what is said, there's a whole world of differance between in trash talking, different peeps have different ideas as to what's jsut trash talk and what's actualy being abusive, if you know the other player and know how they going to react to what you are saying (ie take it as harmless fun) that's one thing, to do that to someone you dont know is only inviting either abuse back at you or being pertitioned or some cases both, one player i'm not going to name (1 it's against forum rules, 2 most players on defiant will hae an idea who i mean anyways) was VERY well known for being abusive to peeps in sirens call specialy if they got beaten by other players, to point the "friendly banter" and the whole fun in the zone went right out the window. end of day a LOT of us pvp for fun and to take a break from the grind, a good scraps always fun, being repeatedly ganked well, nope that aint, but peeps always have the option of bringing alts in or just leaving and getting on with the grind or going to a different zone or even the arena.
saying "hey squishy, i'm gonna get you" depends who to, lol on my stalker alt i gen send that scrappers way :P scrappers, squishy? nope but it's harmless fun least that's the way i intend it to be taken lol, but i also realise that some might take it a completely differnet way, all i'd really say is end of day if you intending something to be taken as harmless fun specialy over broadcast or tells, THINK ABOUT HOW THE OTHER PERSON MAY TAKE WHAT YOU ARE SAYING.

and fly is king in pvp
Not for villains it isn't .. theres far to many spine scrappers with impale that will make a flying stalker a sitting duck.
Then theres AR/Dev blasters and /TA trollers .. to many -fly powers around for my likeing.

erm you tried /sr stalker? Practiced Brawler knockback,hold IMMOB- PROTECTION. 3 slotted quickness and 3 slotted swift, you aint gonna be slowed much if at all from web grenades etc, as someone else noted, tp, you aint gonna be able to get a lot of things, try loading your alt on test server and try out various travel powers with the free respecs there. i had SJ, respeced and lost it in favour of fly, hello flying one hit bountys >
personaly i'd lost the dodge/agile, slot in SS and hasten and DEF keep the phase/invis, RV wise there's a lot of ++percept floating round, know somewhere on US stalker thread is a macro or bind for dropping invis, switching on stealth and going for AS or any other attack etc, just depends what you want to hit them with, ET slotted could be a nasty switch
just my suggestion from seeing a friends build in action, ok she's not /sr but...

[ QUOTE ]

sadly it's less and less true, at high level.
even in siren it begin, stalke are less and less stealthed.

they became prey of the "stalker hunter AT". first time a see an AT that is intended to be the predator becoming the prey.
in that dev did not a clever job.
btw there are ever way of getting our kills nyark nyark

[/ QUOTE ]
yes there are other ways, seen too many stalkers too reliant on AS, then complain when they cant get it off... STOP RELYING ON THE CRUTCH ALREADY. example, on my stalker facing a stormie, lets face it, their swirly aint gonna stop me getting close enough to let rip with an attack as for pvp and the whole hide&stealth issue, drop stealth, take grant invis, every stalker takes it, then there's no issue, well unless there's no other stalkers in the zone lol, that's when temp power stealths have some usage lol
i do pritty fine in pvp in sirens call on my stalker, think smartly,as others in this thread have stated stalkers etc ARE NOT THEIR COH CONTAPARTS, so dont try using them the same, powers might work the same etc, but the inherant differances in the AT types makes playing them different from their coh contaparts, think stalkers are scrappers, then you ARE GOING TO FACE PLANT.I've been on stalker gank squads in sirens call before, and initaly it's fun, but you soon realise that there's no challenge in it, too easy, specialy using grant invis etc (2 stalkers with grant invis is most heroes worst nightmare in pvp lol). as for the EB issue, simple answer, BU&AS +second attack, placate get out of agro range, wait for BU,hide placate, rince repeat, mins lueit- around em, simple when soloing (or map set for one BU&AS, Second Attack (if they still up) placate the boss, back off, finish off any mins leuits etc) rince repeat.

doesn't have to be AS you use, jsut depends on your style of play etc.
end of day think smart or think dead.

unit alpha 10 and defiants newest lvl 50, been a long time coming blonde, congratz

well they finaly put sun rises etc in pork oakes, be interesting seeing what other changes they've made since i posted this, if anyone wants to add anyting else please feel free [img]/uk/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

[img]/uk/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
now go slay the nasty pxieis, erm i mean elfs :P

yep was a hell of a lot of fun, smart villians too lol, ended up switching my ar/dev out for my ice/nrg to kinda bring a little balance, hardest part after doc hol left was figuring how most of the heros with out fly could get to the villians, i had fun using fly to sneak up behind the villains, and while doc was there even with cm, stalkers did a damn fine job lol, as i face planted a few times even on me ar/dev, TY all that was damn good fun and corrupt power, i felt really sorry about the face plants on them duels :/ been there with repeated face plants so know the feeling, couple of times only thing that save me was defiance and bone smasher lol, but devs noted a while back blaster/corr dues are interesting cause when a blasters low on health both's damage out put goes up lol [img]/uk/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

damn lol just noticed this CONGRATZ [img]/uk/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
