I'm just sick of people saying is has poo range, it doesn't. Erhm you know u can jsut run behind an obsticle or wall when u see someone snipes you.

You must have 'oonagi' or whatever Ross from friends prattles on about. Because i dont know how you might know how someone hovering 120 yards above you, outside of your view is launching a snipe...

[/ QUOTE ]i actually did my deep ,monotone huhuhuhuhuuuu laugh at this, and the fact im ill didnt help

its true, in zonal PvP you want avoid this tactic without oonagi, although in duels its rare some1 snipes me, that may be because most duelist blaster dont use snipes tho. and getting behind objects is a nice trick, although if you use that trick when firing snipes in pve the reverse is true for the hit.

talking briefly about this outranging thing, i have fought jag probably more than any other blaster, whenever we take it to melee he tends to win due to FoN, although when i try and keep at range, even with only 2 rubbish recharge attacks and a pet I still manage to win and barely get meleed at all. what's more i dont have SS, only SJ. The thing here is that nrg/ has only KB and /nrg has only KB and stun, neither are any use against a fast person with SJ. what makes the difference? elec has far more utility at range, drains and holds, this allows me to wear somes end and BFs down whilst not really losing any of my own insps. for the same reason ice/nrg would beat fire/nrg imo, fire would lose massive DPS through stacked -recharge and once held and out of BFs, well i hate to say it, but no one on this thread is going to stay at range once they know th opposition is crippled are they? (and if they say 'i only have ranged and buffs from /nrg thn they are gimped, heavily, for pvp and pve, and this isnt an opinion its a fact i have my GCSE english language and theres no way a heavily slotted ice/fire primary and nrg secondary can be outdamaged by a build with only primary damage slots).

on with the debate, luminous and i are going to test at some point but when we both have time

Snipe range is 150 yards and with boost range this goes upto around 220 I believe. Havent properly tested it since boost range was nerfed though...

Skipping most of the OT stuff.

I have an NRG/NRG blaster and he does just fine against any AT, some better than others. It has a nice cross between range and melee.

With any build it comes with its own flaws, so keep that in mind, everyone dies at some point.

PvP in general, movement can make or break a fight.
Know your toon.
Stock up on the insps you'll need.
Stamina and Tactics a must. Aid Self depends on you.

Hope this is mildly useful...

tbh, I saw this thread and immediatly thought "Who's making this thread about me?"

Lol jummy, we both know im da best :P

There is only one blaster combo that has owned my Illusion/storm and that was Ice/Nrg (Freon), I've fought almost all other Uber combo's and won even Elec/Elec

What im really trying to say is....go Ice/nrg

EDIT: I had a go at Sonic/nrg and that was really good too, but the sonic animations are to long and after 23 lvls he had to go. Plus I couldn't get to grips with the whole blapper thing maby I'll try again some day.

i did some testing with trix shots today, and the bestg pvp blaster sets are definately not AR/dev

as for pwnage of the ill storm troller, very few blasters ive seen have the skill to take a troller down, i can manage some, map abiding, but id say freon is most likely to mash your head in every time , not that he's about much any more :/

for my blaster personally, it falls down against ice nrg purely as ice nrg has a handful of powers worth slotting for PvP, whereas my blasters is slightly pve friendly and has faaaaaar more tricks than just a few slef buffs and uber dmg, elec has a few more powers to 6 slot so comes in a close second imo. (think im trying to say that if u slotted the pools of an elec blaster to match those of an ice nrg blaster you would be left with a lot less of elecs utility and i wouldnt enjoy that so much)

I fought a Grav/Emp tonight. First with insps and I won 8-0 then we fought without insps and we drew 6-6. Are they gimped or am I just uber .

[Edit] Just realised there was no point in posting this, but I did anyway [/Edit]

Move a lot and stalkers are nothing for a good ice/nrg blaster...

Yup, i'm a lousy ice/nrg

indeed they are very good altho Gatlings kills to deaths ratio in team battles far outweighs any other i've seen (altho to be fair we're usually the winning team which does help him a little ) he rarely needs any healing tho. altho my opinion doesnt count for a lot as i never watch the battle and have no idea what any1 is doing until i'm web grenaded and run down an alley, turn around and run through 3ppl chasing me, kinda like a top gun fighter plane sequence


 

Posted

You are definately right aswell, those 3 are just incredible. Gatling is a great teamer very self sufficient. I've just been so used to seeing those two in duals and they are nuts hehe.

i know gatling respecced and we are still trying to arrange a rematch, but... i did walk all over him on test last time we met. teamwise im not special

Captain Freon and Plight Trawler are the only ones mentioned that I have fought against, and they get votes from me. But I want to play more against people..

Ummm... we fought once, you beat me 5-3 with an awful old build, and I was 3-0 up. Hardly 'walked all over'...

The reason you came back to win was because I only took in 6 or 7 break frees.
