I look forward to it Any other general advice regarding kinetics? I'm a total noob with it (and corruptors in general).

pvp for me

I'm thinking of using sithen speed/teleport for now (travel) then speccing it out later for inetriar reduction. Also does sithen speed boost my recharge? hero planner thing says it does but the tool tip says +speed only :/

little dot int he corner says -recharge, - speed.

hopign maybe to get it and then replace the recharge enhancments for end red or somethign.

I've recently started an ice/kin corrupter, I'm wondering how to slot these two powers. So far I've put some accuracy and recharge in there. I;ve fiddled with hero planner thingie and I can see that I can get the recharge really quite low, enough to stack both 2-3 times. That would be excelentor would it be silly?.

Currently I'm going for teleport (since I can use sithen speed to run fast and reduce inertiar to jump). I'm now considering getting haste/ss to be really silly :P to be fair thgouh haste didn't make a massive difference but would free up slots . since ice has so few attacks (expecially this low 2 single target, 1 expensive, slow cone) I really could use the added recharge.

Anyone played such a build? I could use some advice I get to choose between haste/recall friend next level(12) :/. End is becoming a major issue atm so it would be nice to use the recgarge slots on my attack for end red and use haste or somehting.

ooh, how well does tk work in pvp? hold them indefinatly till you kill them or?

Ah thanks, I'll get rid of them My only cone ( terror thing) has a stupidly large cone anyway :P (I'm sure it's almost 180 degrees )

I've tried slotting range in my total domination/telekenesis/mass confuse int he hopes it would increase the are over which the effects occur. Does it do this? I've removed it from my mass confuse and telekenesis but have left it in my total domination atm.

I think it only affects how close you must be to activatee it, can anyone confirm this?

For starters I'm a Mind control Dom, I've noticed that if I confuse enemies I can freely attack them without all the mobs next to them attacking me. So since I got my respec I went to test (with tp foe (having teleport anyway)) and tried some missions. I teleported pretty much everyhting away one by one and killed htem. so it was really useful. Some enemies didin't work (Crey and R... them alien things :P).

Luitenants worked ok too, I can see this coming in really handy but as I said soem enemies don't work. So it puts me off a little.

It's obviously usefull in pvp but I can see me with super speed/stealth/teleport/tp friend being realluy good at ghosting and getting the team just to bosses and stuff :/

Anyway anyone have an opinion on this? I can't really test out which is better as a group on test

Well dResari's post put me off this idea entirly anyway :P.

Currently I have boxing as my auto attack (to replace brawl). I've gone off the hasten idea (I just love super speed :P but I'll make do without) I have a non stop attack chain with just scorch/incinerate/fire sword/cremate (depending ont he order they are used) (and now have g fire sword to add to it), boxing fills in the gaps.

I had stealth just cause I wanted a million toggles and to ghost missions and to help in pvp. Anyway, I shall stick with stamina, my hope was to try somehting new by opening up 3 more powers but no matter.

Wll I'm thinking of doing soemthign I've never done, having a character without stamina I recently totally screwed up my character by getting too many toggles so I'm gonna respec asap.

I'm thinking of not taking stamina this time and instead getting Consume (fromt he fire aura tree). Does anyone have any experience with this? Can it replace stamina etc. I can probably squeeze 4 slots in if I must. I'll have 3 toggles fire shielld/plasma shield and stealth maybe, none of which are particulally taxing (fire shield 2 end red, plasma/stealth both 1). I'm considerig taking haste to pop after using up my long recharge things (such as consume) so that may screw my end more :/. I have 1 end rex slotted in almost every attack.

I've recently discovered the test servers so I'll try it there when I can but any comments and feedback would be wonderful

You know of course that standing in the zone having ice cream is not the best thing..one rule about PvP zones is always be on the move or you are priority target cause you stand skill...Basic survival skills. You lose them then forget about it.Always being on the move reduces the chances of an AS since it gets interrupted. You not need to go around like a rabbit but just be hyperactive more than usual is necessary.

Hard to move aroudn when you have to stay still to fire and things (sniper rifle being the worste one :P). As for moving helping well it certainly does to a degree, the problem with assassin strike is they don't have to stay next to you for the duration of the attack, certainly they can't move but I can and it doesn't help (yes yes I've played a stalker and can somehow hit things that are easily over 15ft away with AS as long as I've started the attack when they are close). Now if there was a range check just before it hit that would be brilliant.

I have not tried AS in pvp (I'd feel too dirty to play a stalker now ) but in pvm I found it true that i can AS people from far away once I have a lock, I could of course be wrong about this in pvp.

or jump up and down on a team members dead body

[/ QUOTE ]

damn, is that why I don't get invited to teams anymore? . As for rules I'd say pretty much anythign goes, don't worry about killing people if they pvming, thats the point of the zone after all (eg shiva strike); don't worry about jumping in on a fight. The only thing I don't think anyone should do is trash talk, a bit of the old rp is alright and it's nice that you can trash talk people but whats worse than a bad loser, a bad winner :P.

There was a FF master mind in his personal shield me and my friend were trying to kill and we just couldn't hit him. Then he emoted *tickles* I thought that was kinda funny, when he coulda givent he old "ROFL LOLZ CAN'T HIT ME" or soemhting instead :P

I went to Sirens call the other day, saw loads of villians and no heros to kill so I switched to my blaster. Had some fun fights but it soon turned into somehtign like:

I stop moving for 2 seconds, to attack or somehting
Assassin strike(drop out of air)
dead

no it's either 1 hit kill or two hits but they hit at pretty much the same moment and insta kill me. Ihave targetting drone and cannot see stalkers. This was the same stalker again and again, very annoying and just totally spoilt it for me. I ended up just standing near the police drones and shooting all the stalkers that came near so they'd get killed by those (me being the only person in the zone). As for stalker requiring tactics... [censored], I'd hardly call getting right next to someone in complete safety and insta killign them to be tactical. It's easy mode :P

hehe, people know so little because there no real place to find all the pvp related info. Not that theres much to pvp, gimmpy templatres win :P but certainly these little hidden things like blaster toggle droppers would be handy to know.

do things liek fire/ice sword work for villians too?

Ok I know the obvious like holds dropping toggles but I see mention of brawl dropping toggles too, I just read somehting baout melee attacks dropping toggles. I can't see any info all in one place about this. Can someone give me some info regarding melee attacks and dropping toggles?

Hmm I've been Lackeying a low level MM friend of mine for the past few days, He's been in and out of range plenty of time and hasn't mentioned his minnions dropping dead nor have I noticed. I'm a brute btw. I'll try this tonight if I get time and see what happens.

I geuss you have to actually "hit" the enemies with it to placate them? If thats the case then even if you miss one it screws up or soemthign?

Only thing I can think of really is someone who can heal and MMs . Mainly because they keep agro off you =). Teaming with other brutes is nice too.

So I geuss, anyone who keeps agro off you and/or can heal. MM's who can heal and have the leadership pool . I know we can take damage the best but still in a group situation if others ain't sharing the agro I think we'd go down fast :/ (though I'm only lvl 17 so I;ve not seen much of a brutes tanking ability yet)

Hello, I used to play a while back, can't remember which issue I last played in, maybe 4/5. Anyway I'm playing again now since cov came out but it seems my blaster is somewhat badly slotted (read damage slotted in pretty much everything ).

I've been reading up as best I can so I know about ED and how it affects me. I'm hoping someone can just give soem general pointers when thinking of respecing. I'm hoping to be pvp oriented but would still like to pve (I am only lvl 29). A few things I picked up is mez is good, so I'm going for bean bag and taser. I have to choose between the m30 and buck shot, I am going buckshot unless anyone has good reasons why I shouldn't .

I realise I can't perma haste anymore but going for it sicn eI like super speed . Anyway I have done a build (I wont post slotting but I think they sensible) I kinda like it thoguh I will have to drop smoke grenade till later (unless anyone thinks thats a bad idea?)

Anyway here it is, any critisisms?

Level 1 --> Sprint
Level 1 --> Web Grenade
Level 1 --> Brawl
Level 1 --> Defiance
Level 1 --> Burst
Level 2 --> Rest
Level 2 --> Slug
Level 4 --> Taser
Level 6 --> Hover
Level 8 --> Hasten
Level 10 --> Hurdle
Level 12 --> Sniper Rifle
Level 14 --> Fly
Level 16 --> Super Speed
Level 18 --> Flamethrower
Level 20 --> Health
Level 22 --> Stamina
Level 24 --> Cloaking Device
Level 26 --> Targeting Drone
Level 28 --> Buckshot
Level 30 --> Beanbag
Level 32 --> Full Auto
Level 35 --> Smoke Grenade
Level 38 --> Auto Turret

for slotting the attack powers I went for somehthing like

dmg/dmg/dmg/recharge/end red/acc unless soemthign doesn't need accuracy or what ever (sniper/flame thrower)

I can sometimes go the whiole damn mission nearly non stop . End is becoming an issue now though but I do drop some of my toggle when they not needed, that help. Also I find if you build up nearly an entire bar of fury you have plenty of time to rest full and get back into the fight, you'll be down to maybe half a bar. I also eat loads of my insparations to keep room for new ones int he hopes they are catch a breath

I made a different brute after all... fire/fire ehehe I made a little deamon girl so the fire looks kinda cool =)

SS/Energy Aura. SS has few visual effects at all, and Energy aura is very subtle.

And EM/Inv is disco ball with pompoms, btw.

hehe suits my character I geuss :P. Almost toom EM with my stalker but I didn't liek the pompoms, thgouth I'm having a change of heart :P. I imagined energy aura to be really glowy. kinda got pout off it after readign the "energy sucks" thread :P

the maint hing I didn't want was to be asilly block of stone/ice or an ugly black cloud with an irritating noise :P
