Lemme be the first to say - we need a PvP zone where such rules are implemented.
So many greens and BF's get popped in pvp it's beyond silly...
but: Good Fight. Good Night.

Don't hate the player, hate the game. I know it sounds cheesy but it's true. Mez's are an "I win button" most of the time if you can get yours off before they get theirs off (Assuming you don't have status protection, like most ATs). Are you supposed to accept defeat every time you get held/disoriented? That sounds less like honor and more like stupidity.
I hate that all my "squishy" toons have to rely on an inspiration to be effective in PvP, but it isn't my fault, it's the game's...
I mean, just look at that fight against the Warshade. Aside from going into Dwarf Form (and not every AT has a dwarf form) did that Warshade have ANY chance whatsoever against an EM Brute without using Inspirations? Hell no. Inspirations are there as a balancing factor. It sucks, I know, but it's what we're stuck with.
Horrible, Darque! Just horrible! Now, get back to work on your SG! Much base tweaking to be done!

1v1, yes, you're right. W/o insp's, the game is unbalanced. But, obviously, if there was a focus on teaming in such a pvp zone, then the "support" AT's could counter-act that necessity in having BF's/Greens (although, just as it already is, the squishies will still be Target No. 1 every time...)...The problem becomes that since insp's are available, an entire AT on each side becomes, effectively, 99% worthless (Trollers and Doms). Without the ability to "control" anything, what purpose do they serve in such zones? (It's similar to the argument vs. Hami right now - if he can still shoot a friggin' laser beam outta his..."pore"...while he is "held", doesn't it become a contradiction of the power?)
[Ed: Answer? They can sit in their repulsion bubbles pushing everyone else away and...um...er....uh...okay, that's about all they can do...)
Excellent video!
Good vid, some decent fights. One thing I noticed is that you use buildup as soon as it is recharged, often while ET and TF are down. For even more pwnage I would adjust that technique. Good fights otherwise though.
I do no inspirations fights when it is requested of me, but overall I think inspires are an important part of the game.
I wonder how you would feel about the use of inspires if some hami'd out troller locked you down faster than TF animates.
I play mainly squishies, so bf's are a nutritional part of a balanced diet.

I don't use insps unless the other person wants to, but most of my toons have PS, Fear, Defense, stun, or other difficult things to counteract w/o insps. Trollers/Doms usually can't do enough dmg before I lock them down with one of the above... But I spend ALOT of time dueling to perfect tactics for vs. the different classes.... sometimes I lose...lesson learned....sometimes I win...whoo for me, but I would rather fight build to build then against a blaster with 20 reds. *eep* My target is to build a toon that is formidable in both pvp and pve at the same time...and so far I have a toon to fight almost every AT with balanced odds...
As for my BU... :P At the time of the video Darque Domina was only level 38, and I had JUST gotten god mode...takes a while to go from playing a d/d corr to a e/e brute 
I enjoyed the video very much. I haven't tried PvP at all in CoH/CoV yet, but your philosophy reminds me of my PvP days in Diablo II way back when where we would not allow the use of potions.
Anyway, very cool watch!

What servers are you on?
Most likely I'll get slaughtered, but that doesn't mean I won't try...would be nice to test out my fella 1v1 w/ ya (even though he's built for duo purposes - which is why I can/do make comments regarding pill popping)
Good video, one thing at the end theres a spelling error i'm almost positive you meant honor in PvP and not vP, if so I apologize, but I thought i'd point that out for you.

I dont remember which I ment b/c the viddy is older...just got around to posting it, but player vs. player or vs. player....im sure people got it...I hope :P
Awesome video, until the credits...
In the credits, the second song is credited wrong.
Great song, a cover of "Fear of the Dark" by Iron Maiden...
.. just not done by Cradle of Filth. Correct band would be Graveworm.
Keep up the vids though, awesome stuff!
It was from my UK cradle of flilth cd... Dunno what to say...
