  1. Had some fun matches tonight. I'm making some more toons on FreedUmb that I can bring to these KBs aswell.
  2. Ninjitsu is very strong if you have the Inf to HP cap it. Regen is also very strong if you can HP cap it. Which is actually better? Probably regen for the double heal. The most important thing about a stalker secondary is getting back into hide after you attack. Ninjitsu's defense is very good for not getting hit when out if hide. With Retsu, you can get over 40 defense with DR. However, Regen's MoG is also good for that since you don't need more than 15 seconds to get back into hide unless they are rocking some serious tohit buffs.

    oh and, regen > wp if cost is not an issue.
  3. Good practice last night, all!
  4. Artic what the PANCAKEPANCAKEPANCAKEPANCAKE are you talking about? Pancakes?

    I guess one of my goals, with my stalker, is to max my HP through accolades and IO set bonuses, which isn't that hard.

    So, as far as regen and willpower, if their +HP powers are easily replaced with a few IO sets and accolades, what makes them better than a set like Electric? Electric Armor has decent resists to most damage, a self heal, and 20% recharge bonus to all powers. All I've read about is how bad it is.

    More info please?

    HP cap a /Ninjitsu and you be golden. WP is mostly good because you can HP cap with 2 generic Heal IOs, and regen is good because it has 2 heals.

    Considering nukes still drain 100% of your End, they are not crash-less unless you get a lucky Performance Shifter proc, which is unrelated to being an Emp. Granted, you will recover the end at a fast rate, but you will still toggle drop, which is the biggest problem with nukes IMO.

    Since when does being an Emp mean your nuke is crash-less?
  8. Empathy is a significantly better buff set, but Pain is a much better offense set because, aside from the +dmg and -res, it means you are a Corrupter.
  9. I've had a bunch of fun with KBs on Champ and a Glad Stike proc to go with it. Thanks guys for putting these together.

    Freedom League?

    I would love to, but I don't know how much of this game I will be playing come Fall.
  11. Of course and thanks for coming! I plan to run this again, so keep a lookout.
  12. I agree it was a lot of fun. I'll try to think of something besides FFA that will be accessible to more people (e.g. those not accustomed to team PvP play). So, more of this next week!
  13. It was a lot of fun, although broken up a little by difficulty with the Arena interface. We ran 3 rounds in about an hour plus an FFA I sat out of. At the end I threw about 800 mil at people, so I guess everyone that showed up had something to be happy about.

    Something else to note: Since every 10 minute match had about 200 kills(most of which were rep valid) We got a lot of level 10 PvP IO drops. The Shield Wall; End/Rech I got will be sitting around in my base for a while.

    I plan to do this again in the coming week, but on a different server (not that it matters), so keep an ear to the ground or something like that.
  14. Ska.. I'm sad... after I put all that work to go red, you don't even show up!? omg... sighs...

  15. I'm giving out Inf prizes, and you can always send me more, which I would add right into the pot.

    As of tonight, It's just stalkers that are banned.. everything else is free game. And for anyone planning to try real hard to win: the first place prize will be the biggest, but there will be a lot more Inf thrown around just for participating. Prize pool is up to 2 bil now.
    • Max recovery
    • No Insps
    • No travel powers
    • No Heal decay/travel suppression


    I've been ninja editing that into the other posts.. Forgot to post it originally!
  17. Like the topic says: Level 2 PvP is going down tonight, starting @ 11PM EDT (8PM PDT). The idea is to just make a new alt, street sweep to level 2, then hop into arena. I'll be throwing Inf at people who show up, randomly and also some for the winners. I've had a few people offer to give more Inf to the event. So far it's a 1 billion prize pool, so lots to go around. (One thing to note is Arena often bugs out, so please try to make it to pocket D to avoid that happening)

    A few points:
    • Level 2 only (you can bring a lvl 1 if you want but will be a lot weaker). That means no exemplaring to level 5 and pretending like you're level 2.
      This is for fun!
    • Only Banned AT is stalkers because no one will have perception.
    • Depending on how many show, we may do a few different modes: 2v2v2vetc, 8v8, FFA, and so on
    • Grand prize to whoever gets the most kills over the course of the night
    • Random participation prizes (hopefully up to 50 mil or more)
    • Max recovery
    • No Insps
    • No travel powers
    • No Heal decay/travel suppression
    • Bring your friends!

    For more info, pst @Hemm

    p.s. I'll be in some arena matches on Victory at 9PM Eastern, so I may not get tells around that time.
