Have a blaster v's a troller fight where insps are not allowed at all?

[/ QUOTE ]

No, that's stupid. You know it is, and it's not even a valid point.

[ QUOTE ]
I think giving blaster possible immunity for 62.5% of the time is favouring them by at least 12.5%.

[/ QUOTE ]

And I think you're just making it easier for yourself. You know as well as I do how easy it is to stack over one, or sometimes even two break frees at once.That "62.5%" stuff you're spouting is rubbish. All that'll happen is that /rads and /emps will have to survive for the first 10 minutes and then go nuts in the second 10.

Stop rebalancing the rules in your own favour. In fact, don't enter the competition altogether. If you want to enter a 1vs1 PvP competition, get someone else to run it.

I've said it once and I'll say it again: don't enter your own competitions.

[ QUOTE ]

1 point for beating your opponent by 5 kills or more.


[/ QUOTE ]

Yeh, because that's fair on low damage characters. I only ever win 1vs1s by one or two kills on my controller, but my opponents can't do anything apart from slowly die for most of the fight.


[ QUOTE ]
Matches will be set for 20 minutes in length with none of the options ticked.

[/ QUOTE ]

Way too long for a 1vs1.


[ QUOTE ]
-The use of SMALL insperations ONLY is allowed.

[/ QUOTE ]

This is a stupid rule.

[ QUOTE ]

The use of Tempory Power is NOT allowed.

[/ QUOTE ]

Another stupid rule. How are you going to police this? What difference would any temporary power avaliable for use in the Arena have on a match?


I also see that you're going against event organizers 101 and entering your own competition. Nice one.

Raid was called off. Stupid PA changes meant we couldn't actually get anyone into the bubble.

If I decide I can be bothered to do another one, I'll post the date in the future.

I've had some really funny experiences on bad PuGs - I keep logging on with my characters, just to save particularly bizarre conversations I've seen, and regularly take screenshots of the worst builds and bios I come across to share with SG-mates.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm glad I'm not the only person who does this. We even have a "bad bios/characters" topic on our SG forum for this very purpose.

[ QUOTE ]
It helps if you have someone else in-game to vent at while it's happening, though. I go for my boyfriend, or my SG's global channel, usually.

[/ QUOTE ]

Hehe, it's the Teamspeak server I'm on for me usually. Even better is when more than one of us get into the PuG, since then you can share in the fun!

You can never have a "gimped" controller combo. Controllers don't have any "bad" PvP powersets.

[/ QUOTE ]

i think earths is quite gimped in the arena, only thing going for it is quicksand, that's about it.

[/ QUOTE ]

Oh hay yeah, quicksand is the ONLY thing going for the set, lets just ignore the hold, and the single target immobilze which also does -fly. Oh yeah that targeted AoE hold, which constantly stacks with itself is very gimp. OH WAIT don't get me started on that gimpy knockdown power aswell, lol oh you whats the worst thing? The pet which has insanely high res to damage. Yup earth is gimped.....

And i agree with botty 100% Player always counts above build.

[/ QUOTE ]

so what all the other set's have -fly except illusion. don't see what makes it better then other sets.



[/ QUOTE ]

Mind and Fire doesn't have -fly either so that's half the sets which haven't got it.

[/ QUOTE ]

doesn't levitate have -fly?

[/ QUOTE ]

No, you're thinking of Lift from Gravity Control, which does have -fly.

I wouldn't take the AoE hold, it costs lots of end and that's never good in PvP. Your single target hold is more than enough, tbh.

You need 2 accs on your attacks. 2 acc 3 dam and then if you're going to 6 slot it, either an endrdx or a recharge.

To be honest, I'd put more slots on Aid Self if you're set on taking it. 2 heal 2 recharge 2 interrupt, if you can find the slots.

Take IW before Psionic Tornado.

I know you're dead set on concept, but fly on its own just doesn't cut it for PvP. Either get a backup, or be prepared to be killed a lot when someone drops a -fly on you since you can't run away. From watching the Union guys play, Super Speed works well, since you're already taking hasten maybe take out Psionic Tornado or something similar to get it in.

[ QUOTE ]
do i even need to say im going to be there.... :P also i came up with this... Detention Shield will still work... so if people with that can run it on perma he cant even attack

[/ QUOTE ]
That seems rather counter-productive as captured foes can't be attacked either.

[/ QUOTE ]

That, and the fact that I doubt it actually works. If it did, why would anyone need a Hami tank for the mito clearing? You could just have an FFer or a Sonic/ perma caging him whilst everyone else cleared mitos.

Is this a PvP build? If it is, I have a few bits of advice to offer you:

Either slot your single target buffs up to 3 defence or drop them. In fact, I probably wouldn't take them at all but that's just me.

Don't slot crush for damage, go with 2 acc 2 rech 2 duration if you're going to 6 slot it.

Take one of the accs off'f Propel and replace it with recharge.

Don't take fly. Go with SJ for acrobatics. Get SS in if you can fit it in your build.

You need to take Stamina earlier. Aid Self can wait.

You need to take Dispersion Bubble way earlier. Same for Force Bubble.

Don't slot your pet for recharge, to 2 acc 2 hold duration 2 immob duration. The damage from it sucks, just use it to set up containment.

I'd get your whole epic, if I was you, and take another power out.

[ QUOTE ]
Ok Kins...I don't mind having a crack at organising a solo league to find the creme de la creme

[/ QUOTE ]

Except that it won't, since PvP isn't balanced for 1vs1 and never will be.

As I said in-game, welcome to the life of a raid leader.

Rule number 1? Don't ever expect anybody to actually listen. Most poeple just follow the crowd and do what they do.

[ QUOTE ]
a stone tank is unkillable in arena but can easily be circuvented and ignored, Ice/Energy is the way to go and no mistake

[/ QUOTE ]

On tanks or blasters?

[/ QUOTE ]

Tanks. Well, that or Invul/EM since Invul has repel resistance.

[ QUOTE ]
Oh, and web'nade has -regen not slow

[/ QUOTE ]

Wait, what? Web Grenade has never had -regen in it. It has -recharge and -speed.

[ QUOTE ]
The Hamidon has been increased in difficulty. It is now capable of using one of its attack powers even when Held, Slept, or Stunned.

[/ QUOTE ]

Meh, won't slow us down. It'll just mean that the tank team will have to keep tanking even after he's held.

[ QUOTE ]
Evidently Hammy got a laser beam on it's head a long time ago but just now figured out how to use it.

[/ QUOTE ]

Err, what?


[ QUOTE ]
AVs/Heroes and Giant Monsters now ignore threat level damage multipliers for different Archetypes. They are still affected by Taunt as before.

[/ QUOTE ]

Doesn't really affect our raid either, except for maybe the Mito clearing might take a bit longer. We'll have to see how it goes on Sunday.

I'll try and be there, since I need that badge.

1) i realise Living Laser is an Iron-Man Villain, but i thought it was okay to use the name since the lawsuit thingy was cleared up with Marvel
2)Shitc¬ is an Eastern European word and not a swear but a tasty lunch treat . If they had a problem with it they would take my avatar away from me somehow or give me a warning

aaaaaannyyywaaaayyy...why do u guys even care?

[/ QUOTE ]

1) Because what's stopping marvel from re-opening the law suit? I'd rather not have one of my favorite games closed down.

2) You don't have it set as your avatar because it's a "tasty lunch treat" and you know it. Don't make excuses.

Um you do know its not the -regen that really matters, enervation field is the reason why rads cut through AVs. In effect you are giving your entire team fortitude as long as you keep it on those suckers. LR is only really important in small teams or against AV with crazy regen like dominatrix. Its quite easy for 1 person to keep the regen down afaik. Same with kinetic, the secret isnt really the -regen(again allthou it helps, by freeing up more resources) its fulcrum shift and siphon power that gets the job done.

[/ QUOTE ]

Post i7 -regen was the only way to kill AVs that were not several levels below, without some form of -regen the 1000% regen increase of the AVs was unsurmountable, enervating feild without -regen wouldnt do anything to the AVs. However that is now going to be cut back by 80%. Seems the age of -regen as king was short lived

[/ QUOTE ]

Except that you can easily damage over the regeneration with -resistance. -regen isn't important for killing AVs unless you're in a very small team.

[/ QUOTE ]

Um following the post I7 changes I dont know of any team that managed to beat an AV without some form of -regen

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm going to do a few with my SG tonight, just to prove you wrong!

Swap the recharges in clear mind for ranges.

Fort doesn't need tohitbuffs on it, since the base +tohit is high enough to make sure that your teammate will have a 95% chance to hit everything up to about +7s, which you won't really be fighting.

Drop one of your attacks and get regeneration aura. With Power Build Up, it provides more +regen than Instant Healing. Slot it 3 recharge 3 heal.

AB doesn't really need heals in it, since the +regen it provides is about as good as slotted health. Either go 3 recharge 3 endmod or put the 3 slots with endmods in them somewhere else.

Don't slot health. Just don't.

Personal preference here, but I'd take AP in place of another attack. I know a lot of empaths don't like it, but nothing beats being able to save a team by bringing the tank from 5% HP to full with one power. If you do get it, go 2 recharge 2 heal 2 range or 3 recharge 3 heal.

I really wouldn't drop Tough Hide, it's not the best power in Paragon - but it's your best defence if you get toggle dropped completely;

[/ QUOTE ]

Aye, but that's not quite so much of an issue now i7 is here. There's a chance you could lose a toggle, but chances are you can get it back up before any lasting damage is done.

You missed me out!

Xanthus - Gravity/Empathy Controller

And if we decide to do it twice,

Decibellion - Sonic/Sonic Defender

Xanthus goes in first though.
