Wonder why he didn't have Mind Probe. Pretty hard hitting as much as he was in melee range. Oh, well faired well without it.

I had mind probe, it just missed 3 times in a row when he was held. Its the first power in the second powers bar. |

The end of this i12 match is what was formally known as an "I'm out of break frees" death. I certainly still have bad memories of how ridiculous the mez system was pre i13. 1 buff toon stacking mez protection used to be able to flat out shut down doms and trollers. However, without that buffer you had best come to the zone with 20 break frees, and be prepared to head to the base for more every 15 mins or so.

Um...Rock beats paper (mez beats toon without mez protection)
1 buff toon equals counter. Want to win? Kill the buffer or negate their ability to buff
The current mez system is more broken than the old. now, EVERYONE is a mezzer and can mez just as well as a controller/dominator. Why play those sets now?
Deva proc at random times to make it to were you can't heal or move is total skill and much better than the old system. Seriously. I mean it. Really.
Duel me.
I will work on my sig pic more when I have time.
While the old system was pretty bad, it at least took skill. Today's system is just lame, because it's extremely one dimensional. There's no skill. Just use a couple powers in the same order every time, and no matter what, the same thing happens. Wonderful.
yeah.
back then you could ration your break-frees throughout 10 minutes of a match if you were good enough.
now, you get pb stunned for 4 seconds, with CM on you, and die, even if you're being spiked sequentially by 6 bad blasters.
if you're not buffed, 8 second pb stuns from the blaster with the highest damage potential (sonic/em) is totally balanced.
whoever thought to put this mez system in the arena was smoking the ganja on the daily.
also, i can't even begin to state how badly played that was.
i respect your stalking skills and overall playstyle hellora, but seriously.
you had drain psyche recharged and unused for most of the match.
secondly, you should have been spamming crush more than anything else. that's how you were supposed to play doms with immobs back in i12. people would get immob'd, panic, hit bf's and that's how you ran them out faster.
that was just a really bad duel.

I will openly admit to being a terrible dueler, hence the fact I rarely if ever duel. :P

Its funny you mention the 7-8 second mez, since thats what my poor Peace Bringer sometimes has to deal with while in squid form, not even including the PBed stun. My trips to the base include 16 greens and 4 break frees because of it. I've gotten used to identifying incoming mez on the task bar, and popping a break free if it looks like a good duration is expected. That toon rarely dies without a very determined spike, and just last night I had broadcast calls of "kill the stupid PBer."
The nice thing is most doms tend to slot their hold for damage instead of duration, so I mostly never need to use them. I'm constantly shocked that so many have failed to realize the IO setup that brings 100% acc, 95% mez duration, 85% damage, and 67% recharge.Our opinions on the i13 changes have always been on a different plain of existance since I'm a zoner and you're a dueler. We could really get the madness started and begin to debate this again, but if you recall the original 12 page post of doom that that spawned, I think I'll pass and spend my time in the zone instead. We'll just agree to disagree.
im not even a dueler.
im a team pvp-er, if there has ever been any. i loose more duels than i win. i play disruption (hence me being all pissy about the dom buff in the other threads) and support (back when support was fun).
join a team match sometime against a team that's using pb'd stuns.
you will not survive that. ever. organized team pvp is so laughable because of trash like this.

Don't they know to spam ring of fire on you and make you stay in the base
Edit: also I come from a mostly zoner back ground and a solid duleing back ground. And personal for all the dr and travel uppression heal decay crap we got the mez system frustrates me the most. Rand mezzes deciding the outcome of an encouter is very frustrating, in particular if you invested alot of time pre i13 in learning breakfree management. Also I have said often in ac and bacast I am sorry it was so hard for the bad players to figure out how to make freinds with buffers and learn how to carry breakfrees, it was still a better system than this though.
Duel me.

Funny though how hold proc > troller/dom holds unless they slotted it and abuse PB and even then it is still uber. But i agree with BB, back then you could pop break free or keep SoW on but now get stunned by PBed stun and imp'ed to death. GG.
Now what i didn't like about old system was TK AND stacking holds *nightmare*. Even if devs put 10 sec no mez timer it still didn't really work :/
back then popping 4 purples against a dom was hard son.
god.
people are still so dumb.
