Its really not, psy/em just WORKS the best, its not opinion or anything. Simple. Stated. Proven. Fact.
Thats a depressingly good point about scramble Thoughts, though. Im ashamed I didn't even notice! Thanks for the catch!
I take it Psionic Lance is a go, though? -

Quote:Drop the only actual CC in a ranged DPS build? I know IM the one askig for advice, but that sounds... not like a good plan.Originally Posted by Not_Epsilon
drop scramble, get maneuvers + tactics. Get KB resist.
Im curious about KB resistance though - Ive seen this number of 41 pop up more than once as the target to shoot for. Whats that based on? What's the KB power you'r trying to nullify that has a magnitude of 40? Im really curious. -

Hmm. getting a bit off topic into a build discussion I guess, but I'd appreciate any advice. So far Ive come up with the following skeleton.
I'd really like to find a spot for leadership if possible (boo stealth!).
I see snipe powers on some other PvP builds around the forums - are they really terribly useful these days?

Im curious though - whats wrong with fear? It always used to be quite nice. -
Quote:Never actually seen the animation. Isn't it fairly functionally identical to Power Thrust, though? Or whatever the t1 from EM is called?Originally Posted by The Second Coming
oh yea and /MM gets...TK THRUST!!! OOOOOOOOHHH!!!!

Quote:My mistake!Originally Posted by The Second Coming
jumpkick doesnt have the stun and the epic animation dummie :P

Quote:True. Of course, you could make the same argument about sleep/placate and Psychic Blast. Something I learned back in Ultima Online was to play the game the way it is now, not the way you expect it to be "soon", and definitely not the way you hope it might become.Originally Posted by Supermax
Once the bug gets fixed, there goes your set. Sure, the chances of it getting fixed soon are slim, but eventually most stuff does get fixed.
Also, not for nothing, but... what bug? *le blush* -
Quote:It does sound lie fun, but IM still skeptical. Kick and Jumpkick both do almos th same damage with 1/3 to 1/2 the activation time.Originally Posted by The Second Coming
more of a pwr geared towards zone and teaming...most of the time u wanna stay as far away as possible but with PB and 1-2 acc/mez or dam/mez hami's u can get it up to around a 5 second stun...so a 5 second stun...450 dmg (without aim+BU) is nice...if u cant finish off a stunned opponent who just took almost 500 dmg something is seriously wrong lol..wit BU and Aim it does near 900 dmg..so it is a very useful power to keep
*le pause* You know... not for nothing... but Im seriously considering taking JUMPKICK! This new PvP is going to take getting used to!

Quote:Total Focus? Really? I had rather written it off. I dint see a lot of value in something that took 3.5 seconds to animate and did the same damage as my tier one blasts... in melee! I'm sorry for having to ask, but how exactly does Power Boost make it good? Surely not just the 2-second stun?Originally Posted by The Second Coming
boost range is amazingly good...as is the Power Boost+ Total Focus combo...but a experienced /MM will drain psi like a beast...at least with /mm u have a chance to kill lolregens hehehe
-
Quote:Money's no object, but Im curious, what makes it so much better? Is it really just that, like the fellow above said, boost range is THAT good?Originally Posted by The Second Coming
either would be fine...psi/em is more widely used because it takes alot less skill to use than mm....but really depends on personal preference and the /em will probably be a bit cheaper to build
EDIT: Thanks for the super-swift answer! -
Hi!
Im just recently returning from Champions after a long break (such great potential... such massive disappointment
). PvP is obviously a bit different since I13. Ive been going over things and decided on a Psi/* blaster, but I can't peg down the secondary. As the game client downloads, I turn to the experts (or close enough) for advice.
MM has a higher damaging attack chain with Subduel, A fear (yay for CC), and Drain Psyche (though that might not be a big deal if it can't be perma'ed anymore).
EM has. Boost Range, and... thats more or less it, so far as I can tell. Is there something else I'm missing?
Which one do you all recommend?
Thanks so much in advance.
