So today i spent millions on finishing my build for my DM/SR build. I wanted to test him out so i faced an AV won. Then i say hay if i can kill an AV how hard will it be to kill some one in pvp. Well lets just say i died faster than i could blink. I just think something wrong with that

Any one else have a pvp moment like this?

[Note]This might be in wrong forum but i really don't care

Hm....no it has nothing to do with you, the AV's in RV are 3 times as hard then what they usually are. I remember on my ill/kin controller it took me and 9 other people with 3 heavies to take them down, we had 2 rads and a storm too.

So don't worry, no one in the entire CoX community can take down a RV AV solo.

to be more specific, pvp tends to be much more dynamic than regular content. beating an av isnt too hard once you can pump out a certain amount of damage because they wont adapt their strategies,they will generally stand there and slap-fight with you till they go down. in pvp most people that are playing now have a fairly deep understanding of how the powers work and will generally have countermeasures for specific playertypes, including using mobility to their advantage, so do not expect the same strategies to work in pvp that work on, for lack of a better word, stupid pve enemies.

A few things to keep in mind:

Players are not AVs. Players can actually think and use tactics that the AI cannot. They will (generally) not sit there oblivious to your presence until you attack. Just as importantly, they will attempt to get the jump on you when you are unprepared. They will sneak up on you. It's not anything personal, it's just good tactics. Remember, they aren't playing to be nice. They are playing to win. And you should too.

Also, DM/SR is about as far from optimal as you can get in PvP. The reasons for that is because DM lacks significant burst damage, it's secondary effect is laughable in PvP, and defense in general is a joke. When the devs redesigned PvP to be more noob friendly, they made burst damage the only thing that matters. Secondary effects of attacks were rendered irrelevant because the devs felt they were too much of a factor. The devs also felt that not being able to hit somebody when underslotted for accuracy was no fun, so they nerfed the hell out of defense, essentially making it useless.

The irony is that in their attempt to eliminate FoTM builds, the devs actually made them a requirement for PvP. With a lot of really expensive IOs, you might be able to make DM/SR mediocre at best in zones. Sorry.

Yeah, sadly Defense isn't that hot anymore...and it looks like you were fighting multiple people. You should be on the short end in that scenario either way.

Since your DM/SR is a Brute (?) I suggest Webnades to pin down a target, then wail on them and run. Elusivity on SR got hit pretty hard and though DR hits ToHit as well, Blasters can still deal out a high amount of damage.

Out of your listed heroes/vills you might get more kills out of the MA/Regen or the Bot/FF...assuming Bodyguard and proper pet usage.
