Just set up a 30 min arena match, spawn imps, let them kill, and come back to check your loot!

That is an easy way of doing it but it doesnt maximize your chance for dropssince you could get a drop on your first kill and waste 10 minutes on a toon that cant get a drop. BUT since you said you can do it while cooking and such I see your point.

I use my Fire/Rad/Fire Troller mainly do to damage output. I can rad it up while its phased then me and the imps tear it to shreads. With EF+Char(Dam/Mez HOs)+Fire Blast+Fire Ball and the imps it only takes a few seconds to drop the target.

[/ QUOTE ]

hmmm not a big pvper and like I said, this was the first time I tried doing this....but it sounds like I'm missing an important point here....

Is there some downtime where you can't receive a pvp IO after getting dropped one?

[ QUOTE ]
Lately my global list have been a little empty. When no one is on I always end up in the arena running test and checling numbers and such. Sometimes I load 2 accounts sometimes 3. Well this weekend I started early Saturday morning doing just that and like last weekend I got a few PvP drops.

This time I decided to see how many I could get so I kept going right back in the arena as soon as I was done. I was getting anywhere from 95-105 kills per 30 minutes when I had 3 accounts running and around 55-60 with just 2. I did this non stop from 6am to 1pm. End result was 15 PvP IOs. Two of which were the Panacea +hp/+end which got 400 mil each. I had 2 Panacea triples for 120 mil each. A few others went for 20 mil and one for 60 mil.

So by the middle of the day Saturday I ended up making 1,120,000,000 influence and still have over 650 mil still in ww up for sale. I am now addicted to PvP IO drops and the inf they make me. So if you are someone on my global and see me in the arena you better catch me when in between matches because making 1 billion plus a day is something I can get used too

Cheers!

Edit: This is all on Triumph server btw so if you are looking for a few of these and didnt want to pay WW prices hit me up I may have what you are looking for

Gave this a shot last night for the first time with my fire/kin. In a matter of about 1 hour, I was dropped 2 pvp IOs which will sell for around 150M combined.

I think my kill ratio was around 1 every 30 seconds or so.

I'm sold...and have found something to do while cooking dinner or watching TV. Just set up a 30 min arena match, spawn imps, let them kill, and come back to check your loot!

Then again, some times when females role play in bed thats a totaly different story....and some times I encourge it

Yeah, having 1 slot in FS is awesome being that it frees up so many slots to use elsewhere.

I know there are other builds around here that are totally different, but honestly I wouldnt change mine but for a few minor tweaks. I used it to farm in PI before MA came around and now use it for a lot of different MA farms. Its great for the cim wall and great for all the high lvl TFs.

Infact, I really havent run into something that it hasnt worked well for. Like I said, it even works pretty damn good in RV being that its not a "pvp build" per say.

The only thing that sucks is that stupid heal decay!

/sigh!

[ QUOTE ]
I kinda just clicked the link from the Local Man and I noticed that the +10% Recharge cap was broken and instead of removing the Armageddon set I actually removed damage from Ragnarok and added Positrons Blast: Chance for Energy Damage which increased the powers overall power. I hope this helps some

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm not a fan of the Reactive Armor sets he has in Tough and Fireshield. If I was stacking defense, then it woould be justified, but being that this build is more resist based, then 2-3% defense doesnt do much for me.

The key to this whole thing is getting away with 1 slot in FS. If you're slotting more, then you're shorting yourself elsewhere. BUT, you need to have the acc/rech bonuses to compensate.

When I first reached 50, I had FS 6 slotted and over time, I was able to remove slots when I started to stack bonuses.

[ QUOTE ]
Im guessing you have Positron's Blast in Fire Cages for the Recharge?
The Accuracy and Recovery bonuses are probably pretty much irrelevant.

I couldn't help but think that Gravitational Anchor's Hold Proc would be nicer in Fire Cages than Ring of Fire, just for wider coverage.

And then put Decimation into Ring of Fire to get the Recharge bonus back.

I like the idea of fire cages popping up a bunch of Tesla Cages. But, with Flashfire up very quickly, maybe thats just a bit gimmicky?

If you do stick with Posi's, wouldn't the damage proc be better than Dam/Range? Not that I imagine you need to rely on procs in your AoE immobilise to do insane damage, of course...

[/ QUOTE ]

ooo...I havent thought about using decimation in RoF before and oddly enough, I use that set on most of my blasters so I like it a lot.

Hmmmm, you have me thinking now.

Actually, the grav. anchor proc doesnt do tesla cages, it does whatever the gravity immobile is (the name escapes me at the moment).

I might have to tinker around a little more before i15 drops. Since I only have the 1 slot in fulcrum shift, I slotted heavily for rech and acc with regards to my bonuses. As it stands, it works really good so I wouldnt want to lose any accuracy if possible.

Here's what that would look like.

What I'll probably do when i15 comes out is remove the Eradication piece from hotfeet and add the Arm proc in its place.

Then remove 1 slot from ring of fire and add it to my Imps. So instead of 5 Expedients, I'll go with 4 and 2 Soulbounds.

The reason I dont have 5 Armageddon pieces is because I'm already getting rech from 5 other purple sets. So if I were to add the 5th Arm piece, it wouldnt provide the rech bonus, but the extra dmg when it hit.

That said, I was considering removing a 5th piece from the Grav. Anchor set and adding the 5th Arm piece in hotfeet.

I don't know any Fire/Kins who have their damage perma-capped at all times so I'll glady take the extra dmg when available. More-so...its not about the dmg as much as it is a place to get the uber purple bonuses. :P

You dont have capped dmg when fighting AVs and you don't have it during pvp either....speaking of which...this build has treated me well in RV lately.

Wanting help and needing it isnt the same.

Its nice to have other 50s helping you, but how many times have you sat around Atlas on a "farm" team waiting for the "farmer" to find a lvl 50 tank?

Unless you want to sacrifice a purple set for slotting elsewhere, keep what you have in hotfeet. I love the Armageddon set in there and will be switching some of my slotting around so I can get the 5th piece in my build.

EVERYONE has agreed with you that people who lie about their gender IRL -for the purposes of disruption, aggravation, etc- are a bad thing.

No no, I don't agree. I think it's perfectly acceptable to lie about your RL gender to other people playing this game for two reasons: 1) it's none of their business what your RL gender is, and 2) in my opinion they have no valid use for that information.

If someone is disrupting the game or deliberately aggravating you, especially if it is regarding inappropriate sexual comments, they should be reported, period. That's neither a roleplaying nor gender issue, its explicitly forbidden in the rules of conduct and the EULA.

I'll just end my discussion about this issue with this final thought. Honestly, I don't think everyone who RPs is as sketchy as the 2 people who were in our SG. If everyone was like that, RPing wouldn't exist. Obviously there's some middle ground between the people who RP and the people who go beyond just RPing.

The problem for me is I havent been exposed to the ones who RP in good fun. My first and only experience with RPers was with 2 idiots who found it necessary to harass the SG and take things to a unacceptable sexual level.

9 times out of 10, when I play, my RL gf is playing at the same time. So I wasn't getting off on being flirted with. Infact, they rarely said much to me at all. When I would be asked if they "cybered" me the same way they would others, my response was always the same. Nope....I just ignore them.

But that experience made me form a strong opinion about RPers in general. Mainly because, I just dont know when someone is RPing and when they arnt.

Hell if you've played with me at all on Champion, you know I'm not much of a chatter at all. I pretty much play the game, click my buttons, and move on. Unless someone speaks directly to me, I dont offer up too much conversation. Sorry, but I have a hard time believing what comes out of some random persons mouth these days over the internet. I do listen and talk in vent at times and if you're willing to communicate that way, I have an easier time accepting you as a player. Those who dont, just seem like they have something to hide....or maybe they really don't have a mic. Who knows. I dont care either way.

I don't need "proof" one way or another. I just like to know who I'm spending my time playing with. Infact, a lot of the people who I play with I address by their real name.

That's just how I roll...like it or not. Call me stupid, call me ignorant, call me whatever you want. Tonight, I'll sleep just fine knowing I've PLed another toon to 50 (for the guy who loled at me having 5 lvl 50s).

Only the stupid sector.

i'm generally not a hardcore roleplayer, but i do enjoy casual roleplaying. i will "talk" in character as i blow [censored] up and even engage in banter with teammates that's in character. i tend to model my character's responses, especially if i'm playing one of the opposite gender, on friends' idioms and attitudes that are similar to the personality i've created for the character. i'm not interested in ERP, and never pretend to to be a different gender IRL to lead other players on. (However i do sometimes tell people that i'm a 45 year old, 400 pound unemployed male with poor hygiene and fetish for smearing tuna fish on my feet in real life if they're too persistent about hitting on my female alts.)

i do not justify being a narrow minded, sheltered, intolerant, reactionary jerk by claiming that it's just the way Southern rednecks are naturally. i've known some Southern rednecks who were proud of it, and they weren't xenophobic, intolerant twits like you are. You're just a jerk who apparently lives in a sheltered bubble of ignorance about the outside world. Yay. If knowledge is power you are the ideal opponent for level one players of life.

Still, i do love the way you seem to be justifying your behavior by implying that if a a lot of people do something that makes it right. That sort of thinking always makes me think of something the Reverend Ivan Stang said.

(QR) What really puzzles me here is that - after just two minutes glancing at the SG website linked in War Admiral's signature...

It looks like the group he leads is a cool bunch of people who take pride in their characters - they have neat and well-thought toon names, and they hold big costume contests on their server. These are clearly people who care about character concepts and stuff.

If you're just here to play a game, why bother with all that? Why not just name your characters with wild whacks on the keyboard and use the random button for costumes?

[/ QUOTE ]

We are a "cool" bunch of people and we do enjoy playing the game. We just don't get off on pretending to be someone were not. We're upfront and honest with everyone we play with.

Sure, we dont enter a group and announce we're male or female. But we do like to get to know the people we enjoy playing with and take the time to help anyone who needs it.

We were burned hard by 2 sketchy RPers and it put a very bad taste in our mouths. I won't apologize for my opinions nor will they change over-night. My purpose in coming here was to simply tell our story and to express our experience.

If its offended you by being grouped with these 2 people, so sorry. Odds are good you'll never see me ingame, meet me in person, or communicate with me outside of these forums.

If you happen to have played with me ingame, you know that I'm a cool dude and just like to play the game. I dont sit around dogging on RPers ingame. I have better things to do with my time and money.

But just like you RPers like to express yourselves to the community (whether they like it or not), I feel like I can do the same here. Again, if that offends you, there's not much else I can say.

I agree it happens a ton in America. And you know what? Thinking like that is done by weak minded, ignorant people.

If you think group A* is bad because 1 person from group A* wronged you somehow(real or imagined), then you are a weak minded person.

*group A can mean any categorization of people that you can come up with.

ok then, I'm weak minded.

A random person online thinks I'm ignorant. Ouch.

I've pretty much exhausted my point of view on the issue. If you want to roll play, go for it. Just done come around me with the crap.

Wiki brought up a good point...is there a RP dedicated server here? If not, why not? If so, then don't bring that crap to other servers.

There's not one because the game itself is an RPG ( Hence, MMO***RP***G ). And if you have a problem with people roleplaying, get the smeg out of our RPG. If you don't want to RP, fine, no problem. But if you're going to sit here and belittle and generalize RPers, the get the hell out. You're in the WRONG place.

What if these people talked to your child in a sexual manner? What would be your opinion of RPers then? Would it change? I think it would.

[/ QUOTE ] That is stereotyping. What if person of random race A attacked you? Does that mean everyone that is random race A is bad?

Now obviously, racial stereotyping is worse than what you are doing. Let's make this clear: I AM NOT EQUATING THE TWO MORALLY.

However, it is the exact same type of backwards thinking and rationalizing. Exact same.

Actually, a lot of people think the exact same way.

If you're pulled over and treated badly by a cop, odds are good you won't like cops from that point forward.

I don't understand how you can understand RPing on the forums, but not RPing in game when it's the same kind of thing. It just takes place real time instead of in a post. If anything, RPing in game is more challenging than on a forum.

There is no dedicated RP server because RP is allowed on all servers as this is an MMORPG.

RPing in-game is not the same as RPing on a forum. There is a difference. RPing on the forums often and does bring out long extended "stories" that a person might compose to continue a particular story line.

RPing in-game consists of more back and forth chat between players. There's a bigger interaction in game between the people than there is on the forums.

There is a difference and a big one at that.

There also can be instant moderation on a forum. What if these people talked to your child in a sexual manner? What would be your opinion of RPers then? Would it change? I think it would.

Sure, you can file a petition and go through all the hoops of getting something done in-game, but what a pain in the [censored]. Its why we didnt bother to report the 2 people from our SG. It just wasnt worth the trouble.

For every 1 person they get rid of, there's 2 more the next day.
