PvP Questions

Here a few questions:

1) Is there anyway to counter Parry besides popping accuracy inspirations?

2) What is the KB cap?

3) Is Energy Aura worthless in PvP? I've never seen one in. And that's probably why.

1) Aim, Build Up, defense debuffs, global accuracy bonuses, accuracy slotting in attacks, Kismet IO, Tactics, Focused Accuracy, etc...

2) What do you mean?

3) Pretty much. It's all defense which means it's not all that good.

Think he means relative Knockback cap, seems like you need around 41 to be completely safe.

your most interesting question to me is #2. the highest mag of kb before DR is practically around 45(dominator power push or blaster power thrust, ime).

i was thinking about this the other day and decided to try something in mids using 5 sets of air burst for the 2 slot bonus to knockback powers(lol) and 6 slotting for kb in said powers. the result in mids before DR is 53.1. if you do the same (silly)process with a controller's force bolt you get up to 59.8. now, noone in their right mind would build a pvp character around this because its retarded beyond belief but it should answer your question somewhat.

if you were asking what is the maximum kb protection you can have in the game i would answer either go with something that has kb resistance or build a */cold/ice controller and slot all your armors with multiple steadfast/karma -kb IOs and take all travel powers so you can cram in 5 blessing of the zephyrs. realistically you only need something like 32+acrobatics to resist a well slotted blaster or dominator.

EA is like SR. If a player chooses to only play while the tier 9 is up, yeah, it's not a bad set. Because with the tier 9, it's ok. The problem is that without the tier 9, it's essentially like playing with no secondary at all.

And even with the tier 9, it all comes down to luck. Just yeserday I was on my joke DM/SR scrapper in RV, and I got ganked about 8v1 by a coordinated team. I had elude up, but I got hit with literally every single attack every single one of them threw at me....without any -def debuffs. I popped a few greens in the process, but simply nothing at all missed me, so it was just a waste.

And the funniest part is that all the guys realized what happened. I jokingly asked what elude did, and a couple of the guys responded. One said +recovery and another said +movement speed. Made me lol for real, because essentially it's true. Thank you I14.
