Hey Super
So 2 things...
1) If someone has a purpled build, theyre no good and dont have skills? If you choose to PvP with SOs...cool. I stopped buying those (even for PvE) a few issues back.
2) The Koreans were in zone yesterday and it was like 3 to 1 odds in the Heroes favor (per the usual). They were fighting close to their base, but I would too if it was 8v1. No TPing or Phase...just fighting it out and they did good considering the odds.
Just b/c you don't like someone, doesn't mean they suck. I still think they're pretty wack for the old "TP into a tower or geometry trap" tricks...but eh. This sounds a little like the opening chats we had about Darth. The difference is the Koreans are fighting with temp powers...I'll take that anyday over someone running to the base every 5 minutes and using the triple stacked Vengeance exploit. Not trying to bring up old stuff...but just saying

No, a purpled build doesn't mean someone sucks. I've just PvP'd in this game for...however long it's been since PvP came out on test server....and I can tell when someone is good simply because of his build, or if it's because of actual skill. Like in the case of blazing...he actually seems like a good player to me, even though he does seem to be purpled out. Same with Hyper Ai....I'm sure you've seen him. Totally pimped out build, but the guy also knows how to play it.
In the specific case of the koreans though, they are really bad. I've watched them play and get better since the first day they set foot on Freedom (when the Korean servers got closed down). They've definitely gotten a lot better. Their level of badness was so bad when they first appeared.....I don't think there's even a way to put it into words. So yeah, they've gotten better, but to me, at this point, they are 90% build, 10% skill. I guarantee....force them to play on an SO'd character and get rid of temps in zones, and they will be gone from CoH in a week. Because they'll be average at best.
Always good to talk to a pro and get their opinion. So let me ask you, in spirit of the post...should someone playing skillful with a Brute be dying as fast as a Dom or Corr?

Absolutely not. But that is pretty obvious

Slows are pretty effective against me too.

Blessing of the Zephyr, a Universal Travel Power IO set, has slow resists, and Winter's Gift has it as well. Some PVP sets have it too.

The only ranged attack that I have is my neme staff, and KO blow if I can get close enough.

Hurl should help -fly the fliers, although they can still superspeed away. But I just Taunt their range down and Hurl/Nem Staff them, while setting them to follow (click "f") and Combat Jumping (see below).

Should I get Fly instead of Super Jump? Is there a way to get Immob protect at the Sirens call lvls?

Since you have Superjump, you may have Combat Jumping as a prerequisite power. This resists immobilization, but won't overcome the -jump from Web Grenade. The plus side is it isn't affected by Travel Suppression.
It is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

Twoshot, so many i12 lulz for me. He would stand around tp foe half dead people to kill. So I would just follow him around all day to keep rad toggles on him til he left. By the fourth day or so of this he would send me tells saying 'stop' or 'stop now'. Ahhhhh good times.
Duel me.
I will work on my sig pic more when I have time.
Thats pretty hilarious...both that he would send u tells and also that you would spend days following him around

When I am bored I am capable of some odd behavior.
Also it was more than days, think it was like 3 weeks.

twoshot has become a fight clubber now... conflict's behavior would now agro the entire zone.

That is sort of what I go for.

lol at half those brutes. Blazing is actually good, and zylo seems ok, although he seems more about the (totally purpled out) build than actual skills. But the 2 koreans.....man, it doesn't get any worse.
I completely ignore them in the zones, since they have zero chance of killing me, and I know that if I attack them, the only thing I'll accomplish is having them phase and TP to drones.....waste of time.
There's a reason why they don't die much. The both have phase and teleport (all the korean brutes actually have the same exact build). As soon as they get in any trouble, they simply phase and TP all the way to their drones. And this is with totally purpled out builds. Can't even imagine how bad they'd be if they played with SO's, like I do.
They also don't even attempt playing unless the vil side owns the zone. I'd say about 99% of their kills come down to temp powers, so if they can't get their temps, they are completely useless. Which is why if the heroes own the zone, you will never see any Chosim or Red Devils. Using actual powers to get kills is more than they can handle.
Btw, in case you haven't noticed, I really don't like them.
