So anyway, I'm running a bots/traps MM, and I've fought against two brutes, one tank, and one scrapper. Every one was smart enough to attack me directly, not my pets. |

I'm seriously not trying to troll... Are you saying it's better to attack the pets first? Looking back on it, probably...
But my question remains: Everyone who I played against used the same tactics of attacking me and not my pets. What could have been different besides DR, and how could that have made such a difference?
Where to now?

don'T attempt to read tHis mEssaGe, And believe Me, it is not a codE.
yeah the melee toons u fought against a not smart like you said (If they were smart like you said they would have won). Most people who makes melee toons, did not want to use strategy to begin with and thats why they chose melee. melee ATs, although still at a disadvantage especially in team PvP can be very effective in the right hands.

The first brute was at level 26, and I wrecked him. The rest were all at level 50, all in the same night. I annihilated an INV/stone tank. He admitted to it being his first time trying PvP with that character, and said that his spines/regen scrapper could eat me alive. I was a little afraid of the scrapper because of the AoE that could eat my bots. I kept them away from me but within BG range. Another easy win. So then I go against an INV/SS brute who asked "DR or no DR?" before the match. I said "Uh... what's the difference?" We fought with no DR, and I got my clock cleaned twice in a row. I'm going to attribute my loss to the fact that DR has a serious effect on gameplay and especially set bonuses, as I had very few. How could I have such an easy time against the first three, but be completely wrecked by the fourth? |
well i'll do my best , just understand my grammar and punctuation is quite bad, quite bad indeed.
So
Playing a MM is about micro management, But aside from that the build has to be done right. You should start by taking a look at MM pvp builds.
once you got your PVP build up, You need to learn your opponents, all ATs have weaknesses. If you have powers that can exploit them then use them. Also Remember BG mode is your friend.
with the DR thing,,, You should play with DR ON! not Off You want Heal Decay OFF and Travel Suppression OFF.
After all is said and done if you still loose, you can always go in AC and Cures his name, like everyone ells does.
