When I13 came out I predicted that flying sniping blasters would become FotM, so I respecced mine to it, and paved the way for all the bad ones lol.
I also respecced some other toons into fly, and ran with fly+tp builds for quite some time.
I mostly play the same toons I played years ago, so some of them were jokes then but are good now, while some were great then but are jokes now.
i have flying tanks, scrappers and stalkers no one laughs and i see quite a few besides mine.. im on freedom and with the ease of getting flightpacks now u see almost anything in the air ..
No one laughing or chuckling on freedom in RV anyways i never go to sirens .. pretty common nowadays to see anything in the air
Meh, as soon as blaze mastery came out ranged scrappers became the norm. Roll a DB/Inv/Dark and get back at us

I think your spines/fire/pyre will be the most effective if you drop the flying part. I have a fire/fire/pyre that is the most fun and often wonder if impale would make the ranged scrapper effectiveness off the cheezeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

i used to have a rad/rad/power defender that flew and had tp. i used to tpfoe mms out of bg and 2 shot with cosmic burst and total focus.
this was a looooong time ago though, like i7-8 when rv zone farmers were usually mms.
ive done nothing but try to play wierd and fun pvp builds. (just for fun and not to compete)
Blue side, Grav/Rad-Ta/arch-Kin/rad and a Fire/dev as my main.
Red side, Earth/thorn
after spending tons of time and inf, i realized i should have rolled a Fotm. i did manage to get my disruptor badges for my fire/dev and my earth/thorn. makes me think how good ill be with a mind/fire dom and a sonic/em.

back when suppression was even worse (oh god, yes it was), he would fly and boost range hit melee's to death during the i13 beta.
other stuff that was rolling around back then (basically the people that figured out what worked in i13):
ownage's dark/cold with medicine and hibernate (yeah, wtf). he used to beat people up while afk on that thing.
kurgain's elec/therm, basically tied most forts back when they were good (heal suppression and ts on though, so think about it). they also had 12 second stuns in psy wail.
johnny also ran around on an ss/fire brute if i remember right (this while ownage offered sexual favors to anyone willing to lend him an acct with an ss/fire on test).
less popular:
iniquitos had a sick dark/rad and a fire/thorns dom. both were pretty threaty.
bleak had a mind/psi, but i only fought that on my necro/storm so i can't give a real assessment of what/if he figured that out.
i ran around on a mind/fire, i was way bad though; so then switched to a necro/storm and lost one of about 20 matches i did on it.

Perhaps he beat me by a couple weeks then. I didn't do the beta...just respecced into fly like a day after I13 went live. But I actually went with it on live for months. Flying blasters ftw.

I was toying with making a grav/cold controller with tp foe but then I thought of that one guy who did that and had most of the forum dislike him lol

Why would you take TP Foe and waste a power pool when you have Wormhole, which is an AoE TP Foe, with a sick stun attached, already in your primary?

Hi all.
Been having fun on my non fotm toons that i use in pvp both arena and zones. I have all sorts of crazy toons that people kinda laugh at but hey, i dont care. I know theyre not all that competitive, but I have fun, and get my fair share of kills. Besides, i dont reallly like playing standard builds and be a clone of someone else's toon.
Most of the toons ive used has caused a bit of commotion - mostly heckles and a whole lot of teasing in broadcast in rv and sc. But the toon that's caused a lot of commotion in pvp (as well as in tfs in pve) are my flying full ranged scrappers.
Yes. Flying full ranged scrappers... as in all attacks are ranged, and are often mistaken as a blaster initially (which is actually part of the fun). In virtue, ive got my spines/regen/blaze named Noli Mi Tangere. For freedom, ive got 2: another spines/regen/blaze named Angelo Caduto and a spines/fire/blaze named Chromosome Z. All of them have a aggressive-kill build and a survival build -- yes, with phase.
Ive also got my flying phasing tanks (a wp/dm and a elec/ss -- and yes people shout i wont be able to "catch" anyone -- but its nice to hunt for flying squishies and use melee atacks on them inflight, and later on ground them with AS or land and use hurl then finish em off with some other attack; and yes, what kind of a tank has phase -- well something that can also catch other phase-ers, and if there arent any, its nice as another panic button.)
Ive also got "melee" MMs (on body guard of course, with a tray full of oranges against tp), "controlling" MMs/blasters/Corrs, etc.
So, am i the only one crazy enough to play with weird stuff that can survive and kill with?
Hope there are others who use unusual/unique builds.
Or maybe you've seen some unusual builds others use in zone and area... do share your encounters with those.
