I'm thinking that RttC is probably pretty worthless for PvP so I was going to drop it unless there is a good reason to put it in my PvP build?

And Follow up seems like a skippable power unless you are maybe doing fight club? Being that most of the time in zone PvP the only attacks that are getting used are the ranged ones (Focus & Laser Eyes). Any input would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. This is a scrapper btw.

Is it worth it to slot these in attacks for a corruptor to maybe disrupt their opponent?

Thats what i thought. Just making sure. Thanks!

If your forced to take a power early on that you aren't going to really use and want to wait on putting slots in it, so you can slot up your bread and butter powers nicely first. When you finally put slots in that power (say at lvl 50), when you mal down will that power still be enhanced beyond its original 1 slot that it came with?

In other words once your lvl 50 and you have all your sets slotted does it matter at which level slots were given to those powers when you mal back down?

I guess the "Live test" for the winter event ended. When is the Ski Chealet expected to reopen?

Well I have room to 6 slot icicles. And with energy absobption Im never hurting end wise. So I am not slotting much end reduction like I normally would in stuff. So I can either put 3 damage procs in it. Or only one and get 3 more points of damage every pulse. I suck at math so i dunno whats better 3 points of damage every what 2 seconds, or 2 extra procs.

What about sticking 3 or 4 procs in an aura like icicles?

Ive been working on my first Tanker after taking 5 Brutes to 50 and didn't want to repeat myself. So I made an Ice/Ice since brutes don't have either.

I have one question about Ice Melee. Why does everyone hate Greater Ice Sword? According to Mids this is the highest damaging attack. is it just the cast time and recharge that make people prefer ice sword? I skipped IS on my way up to 40 so Ive never experienced it.

So i take it that most people don't worry to much about sticking procs in auras.

How would a Impeded swiftness proc work in Chilling embrace. And an Eradication proc in Icicles? They would have chances to fire every how often?

Thanks in advance.

Spanks! Are perma doms still worth making? Ive been putting one together on mids but with Mids being out of date and all the nerfage was wondering if Im wasting my time on a Plant/Psi?

Yes when i started throwing sets in and checked out the totals I was thinking whoa this guy might truly be tottally a badass if im getting all that resistance plus positional AND typed defensive numbers in the 30's. Unless someone can provide us with proof I will assume that you only get the higher of the two types of defense, not both sets. I am taking tough, weave & cj too.

Also, I have never ever used any sets that arent lvl 50's. Ive always just assumed that sets that cap at lvl 30 or 40 would just be inferior to the lvl 50 ones. So, just how much better do the lvl 50's enhance that power? Is it really a big deal or is it worth getting the lower sets for those bonuses that beat the lvl 50 bonuses?

Also, is it even possible to soft cap any defensive type on an /inv? And since there is so much s/l resistance. Wouldn't building up the energy/neg defense make a more reliable, fight anyone brute? Sure you can stack up that s/l defense too & be completly indestructable to that kind of damage. But I want to be able to get by fighting anyone.

I have a WM/INV Brute and was trying to pick out my sets on mids. Originally I just went after stuff that gave me hp & positional defense. Then a friend told me that you don't get credit for both positional & typed defense. The enemey only has to roll against the higher?

So what would be the best bonuses to focus on for a /inv?

How does Scirrocos Damage proc work in Caltrops & is it a good idea?

Don't get too discouraged. A blaster doing hit and run damage beats everything in pvp. With build up + aim your FF is worthless and has no other mitigation other than possible knockback. You have to move slow, keep minions close & in bodyguard mode. Now moving slow & pvp don't mix in this game but if your a MM you have no choice. Also don't stand out in the open if you can help it. Find cover or a choke point to limit the blaster being able to hit you from everywhere.

Right on. Thanks

I just want to make sure that Ledership buffs taken by MM's apply to the pets too right? I am putting together an 8 man MM team so I figured if we all took these we would be even more invincible.

And out of manuevers, assault & tactics which ones give the biggest return for a team like this?

But as long as neither 1 or 2 is used against you having say souble the soft cap won't make you harder to hit?

Say you have a brute who's defense is soft capped.. do buffs & even luck inspirations cease to do anything? I was on a team last night and looked at my combat atts and was sitting at 86% and It seemed to be working. Just want to understand how this works. Is the soft cap just apply to what you brings to the table thru IO's and powers, & then buffs & insps add to that to make you invincible?

I have a sd brute and was wondering if slotting res/rech IO's in One with the Shield would help that powers recharge since plain recharge enhancements cant be slotted?

Will slotting resist/recharge IO's in OwtS indeed help it recharge faster? I think I remeber people saying it worked in Mind link.

What sets are you using to get all that ranged/aoe defense? I plan on using oblits in all my pbaoe attacks so that takes care of my melee....

How are you guys getting your defense all into the 40's? All from set bonus'? Cause my lvl 50's defense numbers are only in the 20's.
