Are their any PVP builds listed anywhere for a bots/ff mm. I am currently lvl 50 and other than badge hunting and infamy farming want to try some more PVP action (prior to bodyguard I lost badly in PVP). Thanks for any advice in andvance.


Altitus doesnt have a cure just more alts

PvP for Bots/FF is a tricky subject. My build is a balanced one, and performs well in team-based PvP but does fall over miserably one-on-one (well, against a hero PvP spec).

My original design plan called for core powers for PvP to be available pre-Sirens Call level cap (Tactics being a major requirement) and then to round off as we reach Warburg level (Force Bubble).

The core of a FF Build is defense. In PvP the bubbles are not so important for your henchmen as most people will ignore them and go for you directly (unless they notice you using Bodyguard).

Your key powers for PvP are Dispersion Bubble, Force Bubble, Personal Force Field, Detention Field and Force Bolt. Your key targets are Controllers, Blasters and Khelds - anything with ranged offense to burst through your mobile bunker.

Any Pool Powers are extra benefits. Certainly you may want to get Aid Self in at some point - allowing you to turtle in PFF and heal if things get too rough.

As to your mobile bunker... Dispersion Bubble and Force Bubble are your friend. I also like to hover above ground level to avoid super-speeders who can kite you through Force Bubble. Move slow, keep your bots inside the bubbles as well.

Don't be afraid to use "Attack my Target" as well as "Defensive/Follow" (for Bodyguard). You can switch them back supremely quickly if you have to. Be careful for TP Foe armed Device Blasters who will try to pull you into a Trip Mine ambush.

All the advice I have for this, I guess! Good luck!

Also, As many people haven't noticed..
If you have no PFF on, and you have the pets on Defensive, they take some of your damage...Which always helps

And it's defensive/follow, not merely defensive.
