I have brought this up in the scrappers section, but Ele/Ele, good in PVP?

I know regen rocks scrappers socks (if they have socks) but Ele is good I think when you IO it out.

What are your guys comments on this?

No.

Macskull is perhaps one of the most knowledgeable players in this game, and for you to troll like that is a PHAIL attempt. Go back to trolling school and lrn2trolkthnxbai.

Regardless of how much you TRY to get Elec/Elec scrappers to be viable for PvP, they are not as survivable nor as potent as other combinations out there.

You asked if Elec/Elec was good in PvP. I answered you. Just because the answer isn't what you want to hear doesn't make it a "stupid no comment."

Tip: don't PvP with elec/elec

Suggestion: Reroll as a /regen


Infinity and Victory mostly
dUmb, etc.
lolz PvP anymore, Market PvP for fun and profit

I think elec/elec can be a viable toon. Personally I would go with brute so you can be elec/elec/elec and drain in the Tru3 W4RR10R contests.

Jokes aside electric is underrated. Take phase.

As long as that suggestion was a joke, I think I'm following you.

End Drain works alright for support classes like fenders and corrs, but for some reason end drain on brutes was nerfed to uselessness. You'll take maybe 20% off their blue bar with power sink, and you really don't have the -recov to drain their bar effectively. Even an elec/elec/mu sapper build isn't going to rock in PvP.

OP, you were informed. Don't come back and complain after IOing out an elec/elec and realizing it suxxorz for pvpee.

Ok.

I was playing with mids and I came up with a good build.

But, off topic, how would he rate in soloing AV's?

Terrible.

Electric Melee is an AoE power set, and lacks the single target attack capability of other sets. It is great at killing lots of things at once, but if you're fighting a single bag of HP, other sets are a good idea. This is exactly why it's awful in PvP - you want single target damage because you'll be fighting people typically one at a time.

Electric Armor is a resist set. It reduces damage. A defense set completely eliminates damage. Fighting a single target, a 95% chance of missing is a heck of a lot better than a 60% reduction in damage.

So, for AV soloing, go defense.

It doesn't mean elec/elec is bad, it's just that it's great at AoEs, and those aren't so important for the role you seem to want.

I feel your pain, but you really have to word your questions very specifically on this part of the forums. A lot of people are extremely helpful and as you experienced, some aren't as accomodating, call you a troll and tell you to beat it because they're cool. You'll have to develop a thicker skin and like I said...ask specifics, pros and cons as opposed to yes/no questions so you can get the details that you want as you're learning the PvP side of things.

Be careful. Someday some dev's sick sense of humor might buff AoE damage well beyond ST damage in PvP.

Yeah, then my flying AR/Dev might be good. Hey, wait a minute... I actually got kills on that thing prior to I13.
