No on Wildcards(because counterpicking is weak), Yes on Def TK ban, and I still don't understand the debate of shark. The power is stupidly unbalanced. I only see two viable options, 2 stalker limit or no sharks. If the argument is "because we aren't fiteklubrs" then there isn't an argument at all. Anyone who doesn't think a non-interrupt/LoS ranged attack that does the damage of an attack chain isn't broken is a fool. Banning a power that everyone knows needs to be nerfed doesn't make us primitive fight club kids, it makes us the civilized bunch we make ourselves out to be.

Not quite sure why people are debating it, Sharks are lame. Anywho, don't fret. As it gets closer to draft date and we get D8 teams set we will have a meeting with all the captains and see what needs to be changed.

And to that list of things that will be looked at will be Defender Telekinesis. Can't believe I overlooked that one.

Patience friends. It's in the works.

So tired, I don't even know if that post makes sense or why I bothered to post, I just typed a bunch of stuff lol. Goin to sleep.... zzz

On forts, Barrier loses to everyone so that doesn't make Forts good. I have a decked out fort, it's just ok. The defense is nice, the damage is ok with all of the attacks double proc'd. It's no blaster/dom and the only reason to play it in team is to harass stalkers. Also, Psi and Mind having trouble with forts? The reason should be obvious o_O Dueling is laughable these days though.

On topic, Con/Mac/baddier, you know what is left of the test crowd sides with you. In regards to the "Damage>All" comment, it does. That is only in zone though. HD and TS make blasters/doms/stalkers into gods. Evasion is gone, healing is shut down, Debuffs get wrecked by DR, there is only damage. I have played every kind of corr with a PvPIOd build and damage>debuffs/CC in a team scenario in zone. Assuming competency on both sides of the field, the damage side will reign.

As stated, telling someone to reroll isn't a mark of the unwise, it's the best help you can get. Sure, you can drop billions into an AR/En and do ok, hell my friend did it and does ok, but the problem lies there. That blaster was just ok after several billion. The same investment in another character, not necessarily FotM just not the worst, will provide you MUCH better results. It would be wrong of the person giving advice to not mention that the build is going to be terrible no matter what you do.

Min/Max is the way of the high-end test PvPer because at that level we wanted the best of everything. This was reached via trial, error and numbers, we don't do them because they are trends. Sure, any one of us vets could build/play a gimp build, most of us do. We are just trying to save you the time and heartache of failure. ALMOST any build works now, some are just significantly better than others, especially in the hands of "baddies."

Also, I have PvPd with/against every powerset in this game. I know when some things just don't work. Anytime you want to disprove some vets let them know. I am sure they are more than willing to bring a team in to "test" your theory.

There are only 8 spots on your team so you can't TP through the whole run. What my friends and I did last year, and held the record on Victory throughout the event, was TP after you hit the teleporter to the top slop. I would hit a bind telling them to TP when I was coming around the bend towards the split, they would count to their appropriate number before they TP. So second person in the chain TPs after a second, third after two secs, etc etc. It got us in the 20s.

The smaller slope is a bit tricky, we just settled for TPing to the last gate, worked like a charm.

That is pretty awesome.

Let's go pre-ladder days with this ish. People just had officials like every 2 months with no rankings. Also, let's not use IOs, those are for try hards...

<_<

Picked up Braid, Sniper Elite and Crayon Physics Deluxe. Been too lazy to start painting again so now my Wacom will get some use in Crayon Physics!
