The best PVP blaster?
[ QUOTE ]
Not fair in terms of:
- someone got bigger inventory
- someone got currently more/better inspirations
- someone only relys on inspirations instead of powers
[/ QUOTE ]
Well inspirations are affected by level, any player can obtain whatever size of inspirations they want. i don't understand what your last point implies. But i don't quite agree with you, inspirations are open to all so its fair.

no one says you must win vs trollers as a blaster. wheres the sense of a controller (using holds), when you can just nullify them with BFs?
[/ QUOTE ]
Controllers can burn through break frees very fast if their good, so it doesn't nullify the controllers powers entirely, they however give the blaster a fighting chance against the controller.

i know theres many people not doing so, and i'm fine with that. i was just saying whats fun for me. pvp is fun for me, not myinventory vs yourinventory.

How would a blaster even get one hit thru because at lvl 50 a troller can essentially two-shot them after they get containment? For me holds are something that are always there, threatening, and if I dont kill quickly Im going to get overwhelmed in a matter of moments and have to eat multiples of bfs at the same time in order to stay alive..
I think your PvP knowledge isnt quite deep enough if you think the way you do..

Well then you're a fool imo, I've had trollers burn my BFs in less than 5 minutes (20 that is) and I've had trollers I literally can't scratch in some fights.
Insps give ppl a fighting chancce in a 10 minute match, in prolonged PvP we all know it would be very different 1v1 and trollers would truely be the best alrounders, although as it is it's all about ice/nrg blaster, SR and Regen scrappers and pretty much any troller.
In a friendly raid between our SG and VG the other day, 1 of the heroes suggested they let us spawn, it was appreciated,although we destroyed the heroes because we got a hold on them. no remorse if you want to win, you don't take it easy on a death mage just because 'awww I held him in 1 shot'

A grav 'troller with Power Boost can quite easily stack 8+ Holds on someone, probably more.. And as for Immobs? 'trollers can go straight over a Scrappers or Tankers Mez protection with the right slotting, break free's are no trouble.
If you've been able to nullify a controller with just a singular break free, you've not been fighting very good (PvP) controllers.
Mezzing works like this.
Every mezzing attack has a magnitude. Troller holds are mag 3 with a chance to make a critical attack (10%). Criticals add another mag 1, and thos making it a mag4 hold.
Break frees have a magnitude protection somewhere between 10 and 15. Actually its a fixed number, I just cant remember how high.
If a controller stacks enough mezz effects of the same kind on a person using a break free, they will eventually have enough magnitude to overcome the break free, and thereby mezzing the person even if he uses a break free.
Scrapper mez protection protects from 3 mez effects from a controller. This changes over lvl. When you first get the scrapper mez protection, you only have protection from 2 mez effects before you are mezzed.
Tank mez protection is a bit higher than scrappers.
I can with my controller spam a immob every 1,5-2,5 sec. Meaning it will take me about 10-15 secs to overcome a break free presuming all my attacks hit.
The numbers arent exact, but it will give you an idea on how mez effects work.

on the topic of blasters again, 4 blaster mezs will stack over a lvl 50 scrapper's protection, acro will make it the case that 6 are needed for some bizzarre reason from what i've tested.
best bet: kick em in the nuts
o and cherry fusion = 5 mins -> no BFs, that was the last one that seriously messed me up
