    PB is trash with DR on.
    Look at the numbers.
    Scourging Spirit Shark Jaws means I have to go to the bathroom and clean-up after every other kill.

    Same goes for Doms and hibernate, while Poison Ray does more Dmg than Leviathan attacks and Scorp shields allows you to add/build for Def.
    WAIT WAIT WAIT
    are you asking people to build for Def on a dom? seriously, go back to PVE, kid.

    I have a Spines and EM/WP that I use in RV and spines is fine but picking up two attacks from Leviathan (both with twice the range and more damage) makes Impale (the best part about spines) only so-so. And there's nothing in spines to compete with the burst damage you get from ET following an AS. I also have an Elec/Ninja which I prefer over the Spines and EM stalkers.

    And I'll agree with Psi/EM
    1. the hold is not an attack.
    2. you don't need shraks on a spines.
    3. three ranged attacks > ET + 2 ranged attacks.

    please try again later.
  2. I'll cut ghost falcon some slack when my fire/sonic corr isn't just pure ornament in pvp.

    If I spend a tenth as much time trowing wrek at ghost falcon as I did learning to play, io-ing, and pvping on that thing, I still have about 25 hours of wrek to trow.

    Blaster - Sonic/Mental/Cold
    Defender - Rad/Sonic/Power
    or for something interesting
    Defender - Rad/Dark/Power
    Bad list.
    Sonic/Therm without Leviathan is gimping yourself.
    Mind/Elec/Mace is ok, but a Mind/Elec/Leviathan is 20 times more versatile.
    Spines is better than EM.
    Nothing's better than a Psi/Em/Cold.
    And you shouldn't roll a defender til GR.

    But now, onto a more trendy topic.

    What is the update on the status of removing Travel Suppression, Heal Decay, Diminishing Returns, Mez Resistance opposed to protection, base resistances, and the weird damage of powers? Basically, i13 as a whole. Everything putting a stop to the growth of pvp and its population.

    Here's hope for a fix!

    Yeah. This.


    I seriously don't care if the Cathedral of Pain is coming back, you guys already made it so that you don't need to have a supercomputer to do that crappy SF villainside, and we know that in the end, you're just gonna back off and make it the Cathedral of Pain Trial, which starts in some random co-op zone.. blah blah blah, etc etc.

    My point is, this announcement is only relevant to the PVP community if one of the following conditions is met:
    1. Cathedral of Pain includes PVP based on i12 rules.
    2. I can PL a toon from 1-50 in 45 minutes again.
    3. That's basically it.

    I vote someone move this thread off of the PVP forums.

    don't have the formula with me, should have it saved at home along with the #'s to plug into it for most of the attributes if interested.
    i was talking about i12.
    multiplying fractions is third grade math.

    PVP Caging

    anyone who wants it back the way it was is just being nostalgic for the sake of being nostalgic. we have tons of better stuff to want back before this.
    only applies to hero pvp.
    caging villainside interacted with the perception and mm duties in a pretty damn different way. it took skill to keep 7 clarities on your team and perma-cage someone while also being the most likely spike target.

    Dark Blast is NOT bad, especially if you factor in Procs, Rad debuffs, and other things. I have seen a couple of them in Team Arena, and they are impressive. Dark does not have as much burst as Sonic, but it is much faster with a little less damage.

    In Team Arena, you will also usually have the most kills because of Gloom being DoT, which is fun =p

    However, I would agree with Con in waiting for GR.
    Hey Hey, you were in Integrity.


    You may not get as many kill-steals on a Sonic blast defender/corr, but you'll do more for your team than a dark in team arena.

    more so, it allows for opaque as **** rebalancing so that all the downies don't feel so obviously bent by the players that can do third grade math.

While this idea was not a partial and/or complete game fix/improvement in any way, it was at least using energy in a positive way, whereas your energy is pure troll...and a waste of all our time. What did you contribute here? You score 0 cool kid E-points. Back to the bridge with you....
    Attacking people to simply make them feel bad for "trying" to help is about as D-bag as you get. At least -Hot told him "why" his idea was fail. He also did this without calling the "person" fail. Just the "idea" the op posted was shot down by -Hot, and done so without telling the person they are useless.
    The only useless contribution was yours. Hell even my less than miniscule contribution is at least an effort to get rid of trolls such as yourself.
    I should have gotten a coffee first this morning instead of reading......

    No.
    No.
    No.

    Asking the devs to change anything having to do with PVP is like asking a new york hobo to perform brain surgery on a subway car. Both retards are gonna **** it up no matter how nicely, and cleanly you break it down.

    Stop suggesting ****.

    let me guess, ts on, hd on, dr on, in the cage map, no running.
  16. someone once did the math and it was something like a 2.5% average damage bonus assuming your character is constantly attacking.


    there's better things to waste slots on if you're gonna put it into tactics.
  17. cheap and useful doesn't work with doms.

    thank you come again.
