MM PVP?

Haven't played it yet, but I hear that with bodyguard mode it is pretty decent. Any constructive advice here? I was thinking of rolling a necro/poison.

I just came back to the game recently, and when I played before PvP wasn't even an option yet. So let's just say that my hour or so in Siren's Call is my only experience with PvP in CoX.

PvP advice? Carry a good supply of yellow skittles. /poison can shut pretty much anyone down. However you first have to land those debuffs. And when dealing with an eluding scrapper that may be challenging.

Mind you, this was in part due to an idiot who wasn't slotting his secondary... But my ninja/poison managed to kill a /regen scrapper 6 times while AFK in RV. Then I got back to the keyboard and killed him in seconds while actively playing.

/poison can beat nearly anyone if your skilled. AFK killing a regen scrapper 6 times though? That requires an idiot who can't build a scrapper.

pretty much /poison and /storm are badass in pvp. My necro/storm is a beast in both zone and the arena. My Thug/poison is getting there, not quite 50 yet though.

Another tip, but it's not strategy really. As a /poison be prepared to seriously tick off heroes... to the point where entire teams will hunt you down while your solo. Especially late game.

That sounds exactly like what I'm looking for. If I can break a couple of new monitors, it's all worth it

Every time I take Poison Bloom to RV it starts out fine. I'll be happily going along slaying any single hero I come across. Then within an hour they all band together to hunt me down repeatedly. I wonder if it's because I keep winning?

Must be that your costume evokes the dreaded NERDRAGE!

No, I suspect it's more that people get tired of getting taken down by me when they try it solo. Only thing I really have issues with is aoe happy blasters. Well, them and spine scrappers. Even dark regen doesn't scare me since I can debuff one's ability to heal and be healed both..

Ok .. I got 6 MMs, 3 stormers, and 3 pain machines, Mercs, Bots, and Thugs each, which would piss off Heroes the quickest? They're all in the low 40s, except my bots/storm, 38.

Probably the stormies. PvPers HATE storm. Hate it with a passion. Same with TA and Poison. Healing can be overcome fairly easily. But those three have tools which can seriously shut most down.

Yeah, us bad scrappers hate MMs, with Bodyguard Mode and all your pets out you're a freakin fortress. If you're part of a PvP team, you'll be the rock that shelters them.

No, bad scrappers can't win vs a mastermind. Good scrappers give me really enjoyable fights which can go either way. /poison does have tools to deal with almost anyone though. It's only the bad scrappers who I can kill multiple times while afk

I also have a question about PvP. I have a Necro/Poison MM that I love to PvP with. I need to do a respec, because of the PvP changes in issue 13 and I wanted to know how good the patron powers are for PvP. Right now I have Black Scorpion for the webs to bring down flyers, but I think a shield with resistance would be better for me. I could always just get air superiority to bring down flyers. Also how much def is worth trying to get for PvP or should I focus on resistance.

Get Power Boost from Black Scorpion and drop the webbing.

Okay I will try that. Thank you.
