Adaptation isn't the issue. Whether one finds it fun or not is.

If they added the arena options to remove the rest of the i13 changes (mez durations, protection, universal resists, DPA changes), then I'd be happy. With just what we have now, it comes out somewhat half-baked.

shark is lol. i dont know what you're talking about.

MELEE IS SO MUCH BETTER NOW.

not really.

pretty sure you're wrong.

the key thing is this: movement is still king.

when you're running a defense armor, misses don't suppress your movement. hence you're deflecting damage and travel suppression.

i always noticed a huge gap in the survivability in zone of my fire/cold/mace as compared to my sonic/therm/mu. i respec'd the sonic/therm to /mace and the gap is gone. movement is key.

if you want any type of therm corr go rad. I have a Rad/therm corr on pinnacle that will take down any regen. with dominators in pvp...I tend to stay away for they do decent damage but dont have the HPs or staying power vs. a scrapper/tank/brute/stalker/blaster.

OK, baddo. A well-built and well-played Dominator can beat just about anything.

Well, baddo? Like I mentioned a dom has decent damage, but if you have spent any time in i13-i14 PvP you'll notice that doms can't hold their own against any half built toon. I honestly can say that any dom would get owned by my scrapper.

on a claws regen? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

yeah.

fiteclubber is go.

i was wrecking spines/regens on a mind/fire in i13. i was wrecking bs/regens on a fire/elec in i13 while barely touching pff.

seriously, they should have a competency requirement in the pvpec.

without candy coating it:

that build is pretty terrible.

1. you want assault and tactics.
2. your damage bonus is 7%. you want at the very least 30% for a live build. figure out how to get to that.
3. throw spines is garbage.
4. resilience is trash.
5. spirit shark is trash. really not worth the animation time. dark blast + shadow meld are 20 times better for a regen.
6. yeah.. rebuild this thing. it's pretty bad.

also, what i meant is that any respectable stalker forsakes fitness for leadership on every build. be it wp, regen or ea.

with the new pvp sets the perception issue is null. you don't really have to take fitness on a regen. i have one with only one of the three recovery uniques + a few pvp sets and i find that i can scrap it out fiteclub style if i want with very very few end issues. still, that's definitely not the way to play a stalker and unless i have a kin draining me (happens) or a therm trowing heat ex on me (happens), there's not much to worry about on a regen.

mog is also amazing. the repel resists are way more viable in zone than in the arena though, as repel in zones is fairly circumstancial.


oh and DP as a 900 pt heal is pretty damn amazing.
