Hi there,
What do you think about the new Powerset Proliferation?
Does this change anything in PvP for example nearly all blasters are psi/nrg?
Is any of the "new" Sets good for PvP?
I thought about BS/Ela as a nice kombo for stalkers. But I´d like to hear your oppinion on this topic.

Greetings
Danny

Son/TA or Rad/TA corrs are going to be monsters

Rad/EM was going to be awesome, then they bumped the recharge times of Neutrino Bolt and X-Ray Beam. Now it'll just be "good." Gonna give Thugs/Therm a try, maybe Earth/Cold as well.

They're on the standard MM modifiers - the heals are weaker, that's about it.

im gonna do some sort of broadsword/something but not sure yet, maybe SR. Not a big stalker fan so that'll be my way of gettin into it. I loved broadsword/wp on blue side but i dont think of wp good stalker secondary, but thats just me. so ya.... broadsword/sr i guess.

I thougth about BS too, but with Ela cause of Energize, could fit that it is up all 30 secs alike. Should do for a Stalker when u are on Hibernate and Phaseshift. Also it´s not loldef Toon as SR or Nin. The res could be nice, especially if Ela has +res against Psi Attacks. But why then TA? I see the debuff is nice, but what is so special that it could be even one of fotm´s?
The Prob is that u always have to take the bow out every time u cast TA Powers. Maybe it´ll gets nice with fire or dark.

WP is probably the best Stalker secondary at the moment, in regards to PvP at least.

I can bet there will be some 'oh so annoying' thermal Masterminds roaming the zones...

TA will be FoTM for RV zone simply because a grounded squishy hero is effectively caged for 30 seconds. While the new stalker population is not terribly good at Asing on the run vs a jumping target, it's still cake for a new player to AS someone grounded and activating powers. The threat of AS alone usually caused a grounded target to pull back with super speed and regroup. The fact that up to now only MM's have been able to put on this pressure has limited villains access to TA. (webnades are nice, but 15 seconds is certainly not the eternity that 30 secs feels like) Considering MM's have to be careful how aggressive they are when zeroing in grounding targets, having Cors be able to do this with more hit points and better resistance will be huge.

I still have high hopes for Rad/EM blasters... They are gonna totally destroy all defense based AT's with the -defense and powerboost.

I think the -recovery in HE is around -207% on a MM and -276% on a corr. Its still weaker but still OP...lol

tho TA for corrs are good i dont think the trend will go for that. We'll most likely see one TA corr in RV at a time. There will most likely be a lot more rad/ems and therm MMs.

Why make a TA corr when you could make a cold or therm or whatever, and just take mace mastery for the -jump? Am I missing something with TA, or is it to get the -jump without having to go //mace?

There's going to be so many /Therm MM that I think I'll bring my Emp Def out of retirement and charge people influence for AB.

Mace is only 15 secs of -jump, GA is 30 secs of -jump and leave a big fat patch for other players to stumble into.

Nah, still not really worth it. Travel suppression kills that anyways.

Your crazy if you think web nade is as good a Glue arrow. It's Auto hit and its a aoe that most people will stumble into. All you have to do is look at that patch and your on the ground for 30 seconds lol. And Kins will still be lol. Maybe if they made it to where kin's SB/IR got rid of the travel suppresion, then kins would be worth it, until then they are just lol. The SB/IR thing will never happen though, but who knows, crazier things have happen in this game.

I'd much rather get hit with web mace than glue arrow.

Glue arrow makes me cry.

Heh, I stopped playing on I15, I consider myself an optimistic person but with all the hype it was getting I had to look at it from realistic point of view, and that was that Rad was going to be nerfed, so I just rolled a peacekeeper, pretty fun class and lots of procs can be slottable, and if anything I can pour more infamy into the physic/Blaster when I come back.

On Topic: Thugs/Thermal sounds great, I had 4xish Defence with the Enforcers auras and +10 damage resist on all thugs with the damage resist on my poison/thugs, the Brute had like 20base DR iirc, coupled with aura and therms buffs it sounds like hes going be one badass ****.
