Also it's probably due to the irony of not being able to talk about video games on a forum about a video game. -
It's because defense is garbage in PvP, especially on a squishy where DR caps it at about 20%. As a Blaster you want to build to hit the HP cap (pretty easy), 41+ points of KB protection, damage, range, and recharge.

At this rate he will be the new Arcanaville in about three weeks.

Hey how long has this been a sticky? I jut noticed. That looks like progress if it's new. -
Quote:Well then, it's a good thing it's not the regeneration that makes those sets good in PvP, amirite? (Protip: it's the heals and MoG that make Regen good, and it's the heal, psi resist, and repel protection that make WP good.)Originally Posted by Fire_Minded
So many things in pvp can destroy a WP or Regens regen ability.
I'm not surprised you'd think that.Quote:Im surprised its any better then SR either way.
This is because your builds are terrible and don't have enough tohit and acc, not because SR, EA, and Ninjitsu are good. No one should have problems killing an Elec Stalker, that secondary is garbage, and you're probably fighting really bad WPs or Regens if you're killing them in 1v1 situation (if you're killing them as part of a mob, big deal, Stalkers are squishy and they die fast if lots of people are attacking them).Quote:I tend to have more problems with Stalkers that choose secondaries that are SR, EA, and Ninjitsu then I ever do with Elec, WP, or Regen sets.
See above.Quote:I tend to play Defenders and I commonly bring -regen powers to pvp.Most wont though.So Regen would be a safer bet.Provided you dont run up agenst a Defender that knows what its doing.
This is lol, because if the other person has a few functioning brain cells you won't be landing more than one or two attacks which won't do much for their tohit. Trying to rely on -tohit as mitigation on a Stalker is a really really bad idea when you can just deal more damage and get the job done faster and more reliably.Quote:On a side note.Even with DR a DM Stalker would be a bigger issue to deal with reguardless of its secondary armor set.If iv learned anything with my Dark Blasts Defender in pvp.Its that -toHit really urks another player. -
FA offers tohit debuff protection, something which Tactics does not give. That's irrelevant when fighting most mobs (Carnies and CoT are the big offenders there, as well as some of Black Swan's mobs), but it's still nice to have

Thirding Fire/Kin.

That was ED, not DR. And I'm sure it'll all work in arena but by that point no one will be around to care.

Quote:Yeah, but you can't really fault players for not wanting to play with a system none of them like.Originally Posted by Bionic_Flea
It's a little bit of both. The rules suck so players have lost the desire. If the rules didn't suck, presumably more players would have more desire to PvP. But even with sucky rules, players could have soldiered on.

Basically if an armor set has in-set KB protection (Integration, Unyielding, Rooted, Indomitable Will, Practiced Brawler, whatever) you will not be able to KB them. The exception to this rule is Elec Armor because it doesn't have any KB resistance to go with its KB protection.

*cue "it's the players that made the ladder fail and not the ****** rules that no one wants to play under"*

Too bad you weren't on earlier, you missed Mazz raging in Virtue RV again.

It was agreed that it would take a vote to continue it on live.
Glad to see they are on it.
But pretty sure ladder is dead just an FYI. -
Or they could make pvp like pve and everyone would be happy.

You are going to want some recharge and possibly some +HP as well. Grab at least 13 points of KB protection (Acro + one -KB IO should do it) in case you get hit with a blast from a loose yellow, as an Emp that's getting tossed around isn't going to be saving anyone.
-
Also you picked a really bad time to come back, sorry dude.
-
Except RttC will get detoggled every 15 seconds, takes 10 seconds to recharge base, and takes 3 seconds to activate, meaning that by the time you've got it recharged and toggled back on it'll just get dropped again, not to mention you will never be in melee range that long unless you are fiteklubbing. Regarding the concealment pool (especially phase shift) you become a farm target if you don't have an escape power under the current ruleset. Even dueling builds take hiber or phase now, where that sort of thing was pretty rare under the old rules.
-
Well, this game won't have any PvPers by that point so I guess they could change it and no one would notice.
-
Counting what I've got slotted in characters and sitting in base bins I'm probably looking at something in the 50-60 billion range but for some reason I can't drive myself to drop a lot of inf on stuff. Been meaning to slot out stupid expensive builds for my Psi/EM and Mind/Emp but I never actually get around to it and I cringe at how expensive it'd end up being even though I know I can afford it.
-
Now just watch, when they "look at" PvP again in I30 or whatever the one thing they'll do will be add the antispike code.

Quote:What's even funnier is that Defender Soul Drain was supposed to have its recharge pushed up in I13 (or was that I14, I don't remember), and I think it even did for a short while, and then it mysteriously went back down to 120.Originally Posted by Silas
Raise your hand if you think its a load of crap that Defender SD still has the 120s recharge when Dom SD got nerfed to 240s ages ago and Corrs have been at 240s since forever.

So did they cannibalize the test server's hardware to use for the beta servers or something? There are around 25 people on and it's full with a queue.

I think I've had... four or five pool C drops off bosses. One was a Freebird stealth, one was a TP stealth, two were Sting of the Manticore, and one was an Executioner's Contract proc (one of the Mantis and one of the EC pieces dropped on the same ITF, to add insult to injury).
