In a Team Battle

Team Paragon Defenders HUMILIATED Team Everyone Else....we got 1 kill against them. (We clainm it had something to do with them having 2 bubblers)

I hope everyone had a good time - I'd be pleased to hear any positive or constructive feedback. Full details and screen shots are available here

To be fair, it didn't help when half Team Everyone Else kinda quit midway through the match. Still, it was a good show! Can't wait to try it again.

The tournament was also good, shame I drew Freon in the second round, though.

I think by that point Team Everyone Else had decided that we didn't stand a chance....we didn't - as pointed out you need a specific set of powers to counter the bubblers in the PDs which we just plain didn't have.

To be fair, the amount of support we had flying around, even if you could negate Force Bubble you'd have a hard time.

It's amazing to think that there was a team when Empathy and Force Field were considered useless in PvP by the majority of players.

as a bubbler, we're pretty damn vulnerable to ranged attacks. But I do agree with the amount of buffs we had on our team that it was pretty much impossible to kill us. I think we only had 2 blaster for damage, backed up by 6 support characters. That's pretty damn hard to hit through.

ps, my bubbler is built for maximum annoyance. I'd say it works quite well.

Heh, was quite fun.

Having got back into PvP (with Entrino last night in SC) I'm sorry I missed the chance for a one on one event in the Arena. Shall look forward to the next one (if I can kick my son off Union with his pesky blaster).

The Defiant one of the family.

Specifically Bubblers are vulnerable to ranged attacks that drop toggles....as a radiation/electric defender I DON'T HAVE ANY! Toggle dropping is something that happens to me rather than something I do to other people.

Or ranged attacks that do damage.

Bubblers are the blappers-bane.

Storm Cloud from the storm set drops toggles, but I'm not sure if that counts as a ranged attack or not. Oh, and most of the KB powers from FF (except force bubble) have a pretty good chance to toggledrop as well.
