Maybe it's just me, but I always read that you entered PvP at your own peril.

Second that by these are the signature heroes/villains in this world.

Stop crying, they're not meant to be easy.

Oh and as already stated, it is a known issue.

Some top tips in here.

My healer is there as the consummate side kick for those times when a team is in jeopardsy or my SG needs one for a TF etc... It also helps that I'm in no rush to level him.

I'd say:

Go on with your Emp, wait and/or ask, maybe put a quick advert on request "Lvl X healer lft etc" No luck today, use an alt instead. Some days ar medic filled, others a total drought.

Put useful powers/info in your search message.

Have several trays lined out for different gameplay. Have one that is purely the healing & buffing tray.

Practice with your Emp, don't leave it for months on the shelf. Keep it warm so you stay sharp as it plays a bit differently from most.

Thanks guys/gals.

I knew I'd roll one and THEN i7 would hit.....

As it happens, I popped Serum on my MM in test, used it..... never noticed a damn thing and days later it was still recharging. I agree whole heartedly, steer clear of this like the plague.

Might dabble in the Presence pool then.

Decided, I can live without Stamina with Merc/Traps, they can fight while I rest.
But what happens when my patron pool opens......

Cheers again & if you think of anything else, McCabe will be happy to learn from it.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Quality.

Just rolled a soldier MM with his faithful mercs, he's got traps as secondary.

But what sets should I be choosing for him?

Naturally for me, a travel powerset will be thrown in by lvl 14.

Does an MM require Fitness? Or should I let my henchmen do all the work, only helping where need be?

What others?

I've never had Fighting but thought the added defences may be handy.

Leadership was another consideration, buff my men up. I'm assuming vengeance can't be used on a 'henchie'?

Any tips handy, as doing the respec with an MM is not appealing!
"oh, you're ruddy henchmen have stuffed it again!"

Cheers in advance

RL changed plans.... so I missed the event I'd been up for all week!

Anyway, I hope there's another soon and I will ensure I'm there for that!

As well as the battle for Siren's, why not up the stakes one day and we could organise a 'Heroes vs Villains' in Warburg; the dangers of friendly fire.... Good thing it won't be on the US servers then!
Joke!

Agreed.

Hopefully, I can make it with my blaster and bring some veterans from my SG & Coal's too.

I can lead a team where needed.

Let me know.

All that, coincedence.... I'm very skeptical of that.

Flattering perhaps...

But the way I see it, is if they go round on a bad day abusing people, bad-mouthing etc, it will come back to you or at least include you/tarnish your name and so on.

I'd have a word with the powers that be, erring on the side of caution.

When in PvP, i want my stalker hidden properly, so let me know how to hide him!

Thx

Empaths get quite a bashing don't they?

Somedays everyone wants one, others nobody does.

Each defender brings their own talents to the team, and respectively, each team can be good or bad. So some teams can get by that AV with an empath/tank others can't, depends who you end up with in my opinion.

I use a selection of toons and rolled an Empathy defender as a purely support character. Healers play differently and this varies my gameplay, which I enjoy.

My suggestion is, you should use your other toons on those quiet healer days and come back to/suggest your healer on the busy days.

Stand alone example... I was teamed with some of my SG & Coalition friends, we've teamed numerous times and we're aware of how we play. We strolled into a TF got to the first corridor and team faceplanted twice in quick succession. We're not bad players or bad teamers, most of us have lvl 50's, it just happens that way sometimes. I said, "ok, I'll get my healer"
We strolled through the rest of the TF quite blissfully after the swap.

Most Emp issues arise from morons running out of sight, kamikaze players, those jumping the gun before the team is ready and people who really cannot play that powerset.

Good luck & enjoy your healer!

P.S. Yes soloing is hard.... that's why he is brought on in his intended support role

My main has been dying to do the Positron Tf, I'll make sure i'm about on Tuesday for that.

Don't expect him to be up b4 noon though

Not seen Kraken yet myself, any shout out over the channels would be welcome.

Ah, the elusive Knight Errant, my main has been sweeping the spawn points for weeks, a member of my SG casually picked it up, no sweat. Then one of my alts crossed a road, just find a freshly made Paladin darting across Kings with his Cog entourage.
NEXT my tiny lvl 10 scrapper got ganked by the building Cogs and my main arrived too late..... any shout outs for this will be appreciated also!

Glad to see someone else with a similar mindset, I've walked (Super-travelled) out into the warzone against the odds. If I've been 'ganked' and sent on a one-way ticket back to hurtville, I pick myself up, give the nurse a wink and get straight back into it.

A good day in PvP is when I look up from the floor and see that it took x+ villains/enemies to take me down and in the meantime, one of their number came with me; I'm happy with that result.

btw, that crazed German kid footage? Holy Mc Sh*t, that is funny as hell and is definately getting spammed to everyone i know.

Where have you been all week!?!

It's been a ruck fest in there for days!

And fairly even, particularly with Stalker Utd roaming the alleyways, skyways and so on.

I've had some great faceplants in there along with some doubly awesome takedowns!

Here's to looking forward to more classic and friendly battles!

I've been rucking in Siren's for the last few days and absolutely loving it, there is a huge stalker influx & we've had some great fights.

Thing is, I had Tactics, Assault & IR Goggles running on my blaster and there was at least one stalker who could get in VERY close before even slightly appearing.

Anyone else found this?

If you know, i'd love to know what powers are stacked & how they are slotted, as i'm due to respec my stalker!!!

Base building is very fickle, even if you move stuff out of the way, sometimes the room does not want be put there at all!

Sometimes, it requires moving far more round than you planned.

Trial & error, i'm afraid!

The rush I get from being the hunted.

Testing myself against an adapting foe.

The thrill of the kill! SNIKT! SNIKT!

Nothing wrong with your fairness or gameplay, just unfortunate you had sore losers in the zone with you.

I'm back in Siren's at the moment and loving it, some good crowds are in there currently.

Good luck and look forward to crossing swords with you and if i'm afk, watching a 'duel' or tying my shoelaces, attack me.

Try living by this rule : If you are orange, I will attack you.

I've not long pipped 50 myself and the Kheldian is the one AT I know the least about. There is a recent thread on here which gives details on the Kheldians themselves, if you think it will help! (Can't remember it's name but i started the posting about 2 weeks ago, so look up my recent posts )

I do know that Kheldian adapts to its team, e.g. if it is on a team full of blasters, it will be better at blasting.

I've just gone in and read thru each power as I level up. The way I see it, is if you don't like it you can always respec!

Oh and travel powers at level 1.... godsend

Go Old Sage,

Welcome to club 50!

Round we go again then....

Well here I am, but not one to satnd around, shout if you need a hand, any level.

No real point to this post other than to say, I got the coolest temp power the other day.

My villain can pull out an SMG machine gun and let off a burst.

It's simple, it's not amazingly high damage but sooo cool.

More of this sort of thing please!

Superb, thank you very much.

Picked a stack of info, i didn't know or half thought i knew etc.

Better understanding all round and hopefully a bio that makes sense now!

As I'm soon to roll me an epic AT, I've got the main basis for the character but need some background info on Khelds themselves.

I get their aliens, part of their life cycle is kind of symbiotic, host-like etc, right?

Warshades are different in background to Peacebringers how?

Are they supposed to relate to your character somehow? In theory of course?

Why are they in Paragon?

The Nictus are surgically enhanced evil ones, is this right?

And why are Void Stalkers and Quantums always popping up to do them harm?

You get the gist i hope!!

Cheers for your time, it all helps with a creative bio I have in mind!

I'm all for witty, friendly banter and trash talk a la Spidey, but the resort to nastiness or bad language will resort to me sending a polite tell to watch their attitude, possibly followed by a petition. In most instances, petition straight away.

Personally, I don't get bothered by it, what's the point? But others do.

In a bizarre twist, I've found myself saying "nice one, good defeat, never saw you =)" only to find complete silence...? I mean, YAWN, get into it people!

Pro banter vote here.
