lol you have tough? srsly?

blaster damage is totally lolzy compared to what it used to be.
i remember hitting aim, bu, TF, blaze and killing any squishy without energy or fire resists.
it takes two attack chains to solo kill a retarded squishy in the current system (no hp accos, etc). TWICE AS MUCH BUTTON MASHING.

in a basic, zone pvp enviroment, blasters got nerfed to the point half of the retards that used to roll around in fire/em's are running around in regin scrappers (note, they weren't replaced by psi/ems).

yeah, in zone heal suppression and ts make things different, but in my experience, TS is so mf horrid that it keeps me from getting kills as often as HD gets me killed (and that's a lot, coming me, oh great snorter greens).

the arena is a bit different. 10 mins in close quarters = ample time to leverage near static resists on squishies. the dps spam has little to do with the amount of damage blasters do, it has to do with the defensive capabilities of a squishy. right now, there's three ways to consistently deal with a high dps opponent: out dps it, debuff it or heal the damage as fast as it comes.

the dr cap on squishy resists and the new mez system are the culprits. it's not psi/em damage that is borked, it's the fact that in a 1v1 situation break frees are ornamental, and sturdies give you a shieldy looking aura and nothing more. the main two ways in which experienced players dealt with the ultra-high dps of i12 blaster is gone. i used to be able to pop 4 sturdies at the beginning of a match on my ice/psi, slow a fire/em to a crawl, torture it for 5 mins, then spend the next 5 mins farming it. now the nerfed dps of a blaster, being less that it was, but better than that other squishies, is king because of the system. not because they's be op liek tree faling on forst eld h house.

complaining about psi/em damage is either a sign that you're retarded and don't understand the system enough to know that the problem is not the damage, but the system itself or that you're just really sore after getting molested by chris or some other random psi/em on freedom.

if you feel like you have extra slots slotting any single toon in this game, you're probably not doing it right.

anything below 1500 will make you get called more often in a kickball or 8v8.

in zone, i have no clue.
AR/Darks work in zone, so i just can't fathom caring about any specifics in zone pvp; i mean, you're already playing a corr and not a shraker.

he's talking about a regen scrapper, not a corruptor.
+hp > regin on a corr.

hey baddo, neutrino bolt does not recharge in 1 sec on blasters.

get your **** straight.

in 8v8s you'll never ever ever use drain psyche unless you're a beast like jimmay.
and if your name is not jimmay, you will not get picked in kickballs with a /mm secondary.

it was like almost 2 years ago.. i dont know.

no, it's mel's zombie/dark mastermind droning a full team one by one while i sit back and forge him.

it takes me 10 mins to get a hang of a toon i pl'd.

killing behemoths on a rad/ice does nothing for you.

scrappers dont get cinders you ******* retard

heroside it isn't nearly as bad.

apart from pulling 9 ios from my psi/em during a respec and putting them into my rad/ice, the overall cost of a 1500 hp + 40% recharge build was about 750 mill. 750 is about a week's worth of pve while spending most of the time pvping.

dude's full of empty talk.

WAY TO RAIN ON MY CAPS PARADE yo.

all of what he said.

pretty much covered everything i was thinking.

srsly?
i dueled him no hd no ts at least twice post respec on my fire/elec (and i only fought dr on, hd off post respec :-\).

before that, we did not have the no dr button and no hd off option... i do remember fighting him DR on/TS off and i dont blame him for that: capped resists in a 1v1 are retarded when you have a self heal...

fights with heal decay and travel suppression count and are totally worth recording.

guyver might have downs syndrome...

dutchrad maybe?

kind of interesting watching that dude go from a total zone shiddy to a good player in the span of two months.
