Quote:Throw in the fact that most squishies dont have any powers that reduce stun duration. power boost fully slotted stun gets you 6 secs. throw in magus/meglo. it's working as intended. stun has always been better then hold just cuz any toon can get hold resistance.Originally Posted by _Nanu_
Not sure if that's working as intended, but some stuns are lasting 8 sec Archery and doms Total focus are the more noticable one. That's pretty deadly epecially when you can't do nothing to prevent it. -
Quote:I would make a case and say...if the elec/therm dont have enough kb protection, regardless if they are horrible or not, the dark/cold would have a chance. if the cold could constantly land the double hl by torrent positioning. HE wont be effective.Originally Posted by __Divine__
Unless the the elec/therm is horrible.(meaning he does not take HE) No way the dark/cold wins in the present day pvp system. Back in the day..i could see it. Hans was actually one of first ones to make dark/cold viable, in arena, he is actally the one who made it "popular". Back in the day /cold would wreck /thermal all day.

Quote:pb'd aim if im not mistaken....is the same as just using aim. since aim gets you at the tohit cap with tactics.Originally Posted by Solo_One
elec/therms give everyone trouble though, fwiw /dark gets a pet that keeps healing and debuffing when you inevitably run out of end. i havent seen any defensive builds in a while but once you start hitting with rad blast you should be fine, especially with pb'd aim to start it all off.
dont get me wrong you can hit them when they are in elude (out of elude you can hit them all day, but this is where they will just evade until elude comes back up)...just not reliably when you need to heal.
your bread and butter attacks probably wont have any debuff slotting or great acc if you're using proc slotting. -
Quote:I wouldnt take black hole (not up enough and has a short duration)....and tar patch is optional. just make sure you have touch of fear and your heal.you'll need shadow fall just to get enough kb protection.Originally Posted by _Nanu_
If I shelf this toon I was thinking of making a Rad/Dark corr already lvl 20 to take it's place, but Solo One is the only one I've seen pimping **/dark like no other lol. Would you take tar patch over black hole? Soul mastery or Levi mastry? Heard some decent stuff about Dark/Psy defenders, but have yet to see one are they worth it? And last question I narrow my next PvP toons to Ice/Cold troller, Rad/Dark corr, Dark/Psy defender and Earth/Fire dom, yay or nay. Thanks in advance for the help.
soul mastery for powerboost.
dark/psy would suck. no aim or no -def means no heal. -
Quote:lol im a dush/******. can't we all just get along i mean how many pvper's are left...lol.Originally Posted by black_barrier
i've seen that dush oneaboveall on his dark/rad (fought him on test back at the beginning of i13), and the way he works it is by power boosting both the toggles and the blasts. i know crap about that, but i do know pb healing can be pretty annoying.
from my dark/cold i do know that carrying greens is not a matter of whether or not you have a heal, but rather a matter of whether or not you want to get your *** rooted (life drain) and spend end on a heal. just keep in mind that when packing a tray.
finally, dark/* is really hit or miss. if you get an opponent with poor kb protection, you're set and he's screwed, if you don't, it's a bit of an uphill battle. also, don't neglect the fact that torrent has a -to-hit component to it. when fighting certain builds (specifically regens with focused acc), spamming that as if it were a -to-hit will slow the pace of the fight enough so that i can win through attrition without having to waste half a tray on survival insps.
i really wanted a dark/rad, and i almost started leveling one, then i decided that i wanted to get around to finally leveling downie (ma/regin) so yeah, it's on hold.
oh dark/rad...pre i13 it was beast post i13 its still serviceable.
Like barrier said if the blaster or any other toon doesnt have the kb protection to counter your torrent you've pretty much got control of how the match is gonna play out.... it's up to you how you win or lose.
If they do have enough kb protection, like barrier said it's an uphill battle. Corrupter debuffs (especially rad) are really low compared to there defender counter parts...and so you can count on being hit or mezzed alot.....unless you have power boost =P.
i would power boost dark pit and have dark pit with the purple proc. before putting ri up on a toon, then go to work with your blasts,kb, and maybe your hold....
i'd take phase shift over tactics. though that leaves you with crappy perception and dark/rad is only really at its best if it gets off the first attack. if you fight anything that can placate proc, its pretty much game over...
i prefer rad/dark over dark/rad...only elec/therms and widows should give you any trouble. -

lol hyper, I hadn't realized this was you. Or maybe I knew at some point but forgot. Well, no wonder you always sounded like you knew what you were talking about on the forums. Cuz you actually do! haha
As far as the OP, it's kind of easy to answer at this point, with everybody gone. Which is why most of the posts mention the same guys. Conflict, mac, hyper, eps, and jimmay are the ones that come to mind for me. Problem is that hyper is the only one I run into regularly. Wish you ***** teamed with me moar.
Edit: Oh I totally forgot barrier still plays....add him to my list.
all the forum names sound familiar....but what are all your toon names on fredom? -
Quote:well played and built rad/psi.Originally Posted by Solo_One
what beats a good elec/therm anyway? i havent dueled on mine since i12 and it wasnt elec/.
please dont say mms because they dont count as pvp imo.
though i dont have any purps or pvp io's the build is at
6.4-6.8 end/sec, 120 max end with cp and geas for AM downtimes.
only "yes i sell" has ever given me any prob on his elec/therm on freedom. -

Castle, with all due respect, we're all pretty much aware of this. Again with respect, what it doesn't answer are our actual questions. Namely, a reason why the markets will not be merged, as well as what happens to character inventory (specifically inf.) during such a transition, and whether or not the three (4) factions will be capable of trading with each other, ever.
I can just see teaming with a Hero, a Villain, a Rogue, and a Vigilante on a LGTF, and NONE of us can trade insps.
The rogue and vigilante could trade. Then the rogue could trade to the villain and the vigilante could trade with the hero.
Pretty sure you wont lose your inf transitioning from side to side, and the whole "gun runner" thing would support this. -
Awesome. Reputations -1.

Anyone attend this panel? There a transcript of what was said.....questions asked? answers given?

Quote:That is for sure not going to be the case. 1-20 is where all the new content will be.Originally Posted by EU_Damz
Far far too high imo, somewhere in the teens/low 20's imo
-
So my impressions were correct....except that the level at which you can start the switch from hero to villain is still being determined internally however it is not something you can do at any lvl.
Now my guess since it's not going to be 50....im going to guess its gonna be 32+ or 38+. -
Quote:There's 2 elec/kins on freedom i've seen...i think they are michael lectin and some other dude (from some vg that sounds like so and so's bench team or something to that effect, anyways the dude is pretty good on it and i think he's just a lil better then the lectin cat) they do more than alright against blasters. In fact i wouldnt expect them to lose except to perhaps a psi blaster and it would only be because of the placate proc. They got soul mastery...not just for pb....but for soulstorm.Originally Posted by __Divine__
How often do you get that 1v1 match up in zone, lol. Nobody in there right mind is going to duel on a elec/kin, cause pretty much all your going to see in duels are doms, elec/therms, and blasters. I want to see a elec/kin beat a blaster ( a blaster that knows what the hell he's doing) tbh i dont think it's even possible. But hey musey you should roll a elec/kin and prove me wrong. I bet you cant even beat my lolz ice/em blaster jk jkjkjk. But serioulsy i would like to hear from any elec/kins that read the fourms and get there input on how well they do againt blasters/doms. I just don't see it happening.
