o.O good observation on me not being the leader... or even part of the team for that matter.
I was asked to update the roster, so I did b/c I was being nice and helping out... I know -- strange concept for you.
and who rules the rules with the loots,
and the phase. -

Some moron carebears would still demand them I'm sure.
That and lolz paying 4 billion for 3% def.
i'd rather just increase the drop rate to stupid levels, crash the pvp io's market and trivialize game content a bit more. because you know, having 5% more recharge and +3% more defense on a pve toon is game breaking.
hell no. -
Quote:PVP IOs should be as common as to not require the average, casual player to PVE in order to obtain them.Originally Posted by Sharker_Quint
i don't know either way, but someone that doesn't want to put in any effort to getting them and wants them handed to them sounds a lot like the same people who are ******** about prices in the market. they want EVERYTHING for no effort. i have 2 friends that had set up PvP io farms and hagve dropped 7-10 of them over the weekend. seems about on par with purple drops.
That's why we have dual builds. You spend all your f inf on a PVE build and you PVP and outfit your PVP build.
The fact that this is not the way things are working out to be suggests that this drops system is a load of ******** designed by a drooling downie. -

Quote:good job, you looked at the damage per attack but completely ignored the chance to crit section at the bottom of the real numbers dialog.Originally Posted by Ghost_Ripper
Ok. I can appreciate when someone tells it like it is; however I am not lazy and I did look at the numbers. I also asked around in the PvP sections for which is better and got EM as a Top dmg producer. I checked the numbers in game and in Mids for PvP, and EM is showing more damage. Here is the breakdown I am seeing, or as your obtuse, ball sucking, defender of black briar's ball sweat, lackey Snacks, oh sry Slax says,
:
Elec Melee Mids/In Game
Havoc Punch 95/97
Jacob's Ladder 106/108
Chain Induction 93/94
Thunder Strike 194/195
(Numbers Rounded up)
EM Mids:
Bone Smasher 100/100
ET 228/228
TF 198/198
(Rounded up)
Looking at these numbers purely it looks like Elec Melee rings in with an average dmg @494 and EM @526. So, I'd say EM wins with just pure number assessment. Now I'm not a guru with real numbers after Arcana Time added, so I could be missing it; however, to justify calling someone lazy and not checking to see if they did do some research is . . .well . . .I'll just say, "hey Kettle"

yeah.. mace redraw is pretty horrid when it comes to brutes.. meaning, a corr can pull the mace out before it's in range of npcs... on a brute, you pretty much live in melee and are constantly attacking, so it's just bothersome.

Quote:what synergy?Originally Posted by Ghost_Ripper
It seems everywhere I've asked ppl tend to think EM/* is better than Elec/* Do you just like the -end more than the xtra dmg? Since you put Elec/Ea or Spines/Ea could DM/Ea be viable for its synergy?
there is zero synergy between DM and EA in pvp.
you don't stand and fight on a stalker and if you do, you're an idiot.
DM is a suboptimal set as far as I know; but nevertheless, I'm working on IO'ing and Accolading a DM/SR myself (Screw you March. I hate your Grav/Kin.), but basically, it's just meant to AS and Shrak in team arena matches.
EM/* does not do more damage than Elec. Not in PVP. This isn't PVE. Go check real numbers and look around those before you post again. We are here to give you a bit of practical advice, asking about basic numbers just comes off as lazy. -
Quote:not on a blaster.Originally Posted by Not_Epsilon
I still prefer having a stun built in, rather then mindless damage spam, even in the dumbed down pvp as it is, its still a preference. However, I would give it to you fire and rad are about the same; meh.
just not on a blaster.
remember you dont get the neutrino bolt machine gun on a blaster. -

If you're open to blueside as well, Elec/SD/Blaze scrapper is just sick.
Redside: Rage + Against All Odds + Fury -> Shield Charge -> Foostomp = tasty.
Claws/Fire sounds good. Spin is great to spam, but it will burn through end quick. At a 14 second base rech, a good recharge build will have you spamming this a LOT.
while i'm not looking for a blueside farmer (i lack the resources to io out a toon on that side), your comment on spin's recharge and end has me thinking.. would a claws/elec be a better choice assuming i'm solo farming and soft-capped on purple insps?
i assume burn wouldn't be as effective on a claws/fire as it is on my ss/fire. -
Quote:yeah... blaster defiance + flares = so gud.Originally Posted by Rent_
Fire is definitely better than rad for blasters. Corrs, i might let you have.

Quote:Eh, -res proc'd Rad is better than fire.Originally Posted by Rent_
I'll do powersets, not powers.
2) Psi/Fire/Sonic for Blasters, Fire/sonic for Corrs -
Quote:Looked at a few potential builds.Originally Posted by magikwand
SS/SD is a great build, but it is typically incredibly expensive. Likely even moreso than your SS/Fire. And then you have to find a reliable way to overcome the endurance management issue, which I personally feel is the largest drawback to the combination. If you have a kin with you, SB can make you unstoppable.
I would also consider a claws/wp or claws/inv. I recently finished leveling my claws brute and she is remarkable on just SOs. Claws is the new kid on the block for us brutes, but the set is just great.
I think I'm gonna go with a claws/fire. -

arrogance runs high in this thread.
i love how d6-ers are coming in and thinking they are gonna run the d8 team, and essentially appointing themselves as leaders even before having a single practice.
i hope they run 6 regins and two emps in d8. just so i can see divine throw e-fits on AC for 10 mins straight, while forst eld h prepares enriched soviet uranium "care packages" for the whole team. -
i'd get TF.
a fire/em plays a bit different than a psi/em's....
if you can figure out how to time it, it will definitely get you kills and keep people from stepping into melee with you.. just don't be a downie that spams it.. -
With double xp just around the corner, I am considering a new farming brute on my second account. I've already got an SS/Fire that I use to farm on my primary account, so yeah... I don't want another (all eggs in one basket, blah blah blah).
Any suggestions as to what I should roll?
I'm considering an Elec/Shields as well as an SS/Shields, but I'd also be willing to go Elec/Fire or any other set(s) as long as a good case can be made for its AOE farming potential. -
also, 200 rep to claim an IO, 1 claim per day.
that's how i'd "fix" this trash. -
Quote:i used to do 30 kills per match afk (i suck) back then and i'd get a drop every two matches or so.Originally Posted by macskull
Your 1:70 number you've been tossing around is fairly close to the 1:60 I guesstimated back when you could still reliably farm these things in arena (60 kills per 30 minute match, usually at least one drop per match). I haven't bothered to get data since they nerfed that, since I just don't care that much.
you're pretty much on the dot there mac. -

Quote:i love how you just appoint yourself as leader straight up; it's ok guys, divine is here to save you.Originally Posted by __Divine__
I don't feel like being leader......the "leader" of this team has probaly never even been in a match much less join a ladder. I don't have the time or energy to put this ****** up team together. This idiot did not even show up for the draft. So what makes me think he has the know hot to schedule practices, make sure people show up...etc....etc. This team should have not even counted as a ******* team. Should have been null and voided when the damn "leader" did not show up.
