Are we still sticking to Monday night only KB, or are you all trying to pull them together every night? I was a bit upset I was unable to really play last night. Here is to hoping we can start organizing more than 1 day a week.

These scores say that team coordination is making a come back, and random uncoordinated damage spams may soon be a thing of the past. We are making real progress here for the first time in a while. Keep it up. I advise anyone who has even the slightest interest in arena PvP to come to Freedom and participate. |
So my existing stable of active PvP characters on Freedom is as follows (active meaning ones I currently play that are at least partially IOd or accoladed):
* Rad/Therm/Lev Corr
* Elec/WP/Soul Stalker
* Mind/Storm/Primal Troller (currently a dueling build with PB+Aid Self, no phase, would make a second build with Hib for a team build)
* Thugs/Pain/Mace MM (no phase on this build plus I'm reluctant to use it anyways)
* Mind/Emp/Primal Troller
And ones that are potential (either were leveled for PvP but have not been played, IOd, or accoladed; or PvE builds that could be dual-built for PvP):
* Earth/Energy/Lev Dom (might respec into Mace if it's an arena build)
* Fire/SS/Pyre Tanker (second build is PvP-spec'd w/ Stone but is not IOd)
* Peacebringer
* SS/Shield/Mu Brute (would make a second build with Mace and Taunt)
* Fire/Psi/Soul Dom (currently a farm build, could make a second build for PvP)
I have on Justice a few available toons I could transfer over, but none are accoladed or IOd yet:
* Arch/EM/Cold Blaster
* Son/EM/Cold Blaster
* Necro/Poison/Mace MM
I generally stick to the Emp and Therm when I'm in zone or team arena, as I really prefer playing support and most of the other builds I listed aren't quite ready to go. That being said, I know we are looking for more disruption builds so I am curious as to what of the builds I listed would work. I could build the SS/Shield into a second build, take webnades and taunt, and build for lots of ranged defense, but I'm not sure how well Shields holds up on a Brute in a team setting (I know it works decently for Tankers). Was thinking of potentially moving the Necro/Poison over but I'd need a good build for it and I'm not sure how useful Poison is anymore. Additionally, I was debating between rolling an Elec/Kin (or Son/Kin, or Fire/Kin, or Rad/Kin) Corruptor for end drain/disruption/buffs or a Thugs/Storm for targeting disruption and debuffs. Any thoughts?

Emps are in good demand right now.
As for disruption, I think MMs could be great. Colds, FFs, and TAs have already proven their worth in the new system as well. Grav control is pretty beastly, too.
More fun KBs. So many people, there were 4 fat kids at one point!

I have a quick question...
Can someone with an SO'd build, with zero accolades or bonuses, and no kb protection, compete in these kickballs? And by compete, I mean actually get picked and not be a hinderance to their team?
Need honest replies.
I'm also wondering if you guys are on Vent for these or just calling in team chat.

I hop on KBs when ever they are going on and i'm online, so much more fun than zone, but to answer your question, i don't have vent anymore and I haven't been on a team yet where the target caller didn't have and use a bind. Someone always seems to step up in that dept.|

You should definitely join up Max, it's much better than zone pvp, just No TS alone makes it 100x better. No TS is like Speed Boost all the time, it's great.
Wow, it's played with no TS? What other special rules apply?
I don't think I've tried playing with no TS a single time since I13 came out. I'm sure it feels a lot different.
Oh and thanks BB....I'll hold you to your promise if I ever do join this 
no heal decay either, fun stuff. Just try and have phase or hiber and you should be fine.

Got to watch a couple of these last night. REALLY need to get something leveled on Freedom. I'm working on a Fire/SS taunt bot, but who knows how that'll work.
"the reason there are so many sarcastic pvpers is we already had a better version of pvp taken away from us to appease bad players. Back then we chuckled at how bad players came here and whined. If we knew that was the actual voice devs would listen to instead of informed, educated players we probably would have been bigger dicks back then." -ConFlict
How would a tauntbot slot taunt currently?
On my melee, since I just **** around in zones, I just have it slotted with 3 range SO's, and I rely on it just for -range. But when being a tauntbot for a team, what's the best current way to do it?
Mostly, I plan on building for HP and Recharge. Also, a few procs in taunt for the lulz.

I'm getting on right now most likely for the last time ever, so there better be some KB's going.

Still playing for reasons unknown.

divine, a fire/psi dom would be pretty vicious if played adequately in a kickball.
i've considered ripping all my stuff out of my ice/psi and putting it into my fire/psi now that i'm not farming much... a well slotted hold + tk thrust + proc'd out subdue = hell of a spike + disruption toon.
also, get wrecked ice blast. guess shakedown didn't have a numbers dude that actually calculated how when blaze scourges + apoc's procs = bitter ice blast = lol, even with therm shields, then proceeded to scream on vent to everyone in the team that ever suggested ice blast over fire or sonic after i12.

OmW in next day or 2. :-)
Dexington makes stalking so easy that even a noob like me looks good. You sir are a beast.
Once we establish a player base we can start looking at the possibility of set matches in addition to the random KBs. Personally I think a good goal would be to get 6v6s going.
Why 6v6? Not just because of the lower population - but also because of the reduced effectiveness of disruption and resistance buffs. 8v8 could be a bit hectic, that's not to say that we shouldn't plan on doing them, though.
Thoughts?
