    Regarding CM: yeah, it's redundant more or less, because LR can't really stack mezzes quickly enough to break through a Tanker's base status protection, but they changed the animation in I18 so now it shares the Speed Boost animation (meaning the "oh I was in CM animation so couldn't do anything" excuse doesn't hold up quite as well as it used to).

    PvP Slotting

    6 Kcrash is nice, unless you actually want to hit anything with it.

    4 Kcrash, 2 Nucs, for max acc/dam/kd

    Team PvP Bane

    I'm holding off on working out builds until after I19 goes live because of inherent Fitness.

    Don't be dense - I'm not denying that manipulation exists, but I am saying it's not as easy as you make it out to be, for reasons that have been shown several times in this thread. I've even offered you my inf to prove me wrong, but you haven't taken me up on the offer. Why's that?

    We already know it's not possible, and we've got three years' worth of time and an entire subsection of these forums behind us. By all means, go to the market subforum and claim that it's possible to manipulate market prices and make huge profits, but don't act even a little surprised when everyone tells you you're wrong.

    PVP resists?

    Recharge past 70% gets neutered by DR - to give you an example, permadom usually requires about 75% global recharge and if you've got 120% plus Hasten you'll just barely be able to stack it if you're in a PvP environment.
  7. Going to blame the Emp for this one. No way an Invuln should be dying (barring something like Unstoppable crashing) while chewing T3 purples and having an Emp behind him.
  8. Me, I just bought up a ton of the slow resist IOs during the winter event and resold them later. Bought 50 at 5 mil each, resold them for amounts between 30 and 50 million.

    This is true in the noncompetitive PvE environment, but in an environment where there are other players out to get you, it becomes an arms race and if you can't keep up you get left behind. Pre-I13 player skill often overcame any build limitations, but in light of those changes that's not really the case anymore.
  10. Then you got lucky or a policy has changed within the last year regarding items stored on the markets. Until I16 (or was it I17) you were at risk of having your market stuff wiped after 60 days even if your account was active if you didn't log in to check on it, but that was changed to just inactive accounts.
  11. If you have items stored in the market, they will be wiped (as in completely eliminated) after 60 days of your account being inactive. If you're only going to be gone for a month, month and a half, you don't have anything to worry about, but if it's longer I'd suggest pulling items out of your market slots and global email.

    If anything I would have expected the price of the jump +stealth IO to go down considering the change to stealth IOs with I18 (can't toggle and then detoggle Sprint for the quick two minutes of stealth anymore).

    Power Boost?

    Magic 8 ball says...

  14. macskull

    So... Stalkers.

    People that think Stalkers are the reason PvP is imbalanced make me giggle.

    Power Boost?

    Amusing that this thread will be locked because apparently this logic is no longer allowed under the current forum rules.

    lol.



    (And yeah, so it's only exploiting and abusing stupid people, but still...)
    It's no different than people paying for PLs before I14, which was neither an exploit nor an abuse, so...
  19. Vex and hot are trying way too hard.

    No, but you can transfer the goods obtained with them, thus they do have value, even if it's not fixed.
