Good Build for Sirens Call?

I haven't been playing much lately. Its nice to know someone appreciates what I bring to the game though.

So.... You have never actually tried to play traps defender in pvp?

Ahh I love the stackers. They do learn pretty quickly though lol

I team with Venenix on Virtue. All he does is act as a "safe zone" for villains. Same as any mastermind really. (he just doesn't have the durability of a MM due to being a corruptor.) I have never seen him kill anyone, despite the fact that nearly everyone heroside on virtue is a HONRBL CHAMPYUN scrapper.

Apparently no one has.. except for one guy in SC. I just know more about how to play traps in PvP more than most it seems. This is the age of the cookie... didn't ya know



Don't make lies. How can I be a "Safe Zone" for villians as a squishy farmable lol Traps Corr that can't get a kill? Why would villians feel safer near me if heroes aren't afraid of coming too close and/or getting killed? lol you lie hard, now speak the truth please.

MMs have more durability... until they jump or try to travel. My Corr is at 1500 HP and can run, jump, TP away at will. MMs kinda have to stay near their pets to survive. I was actually teammed the other day with a /Traps MM who kept getting farmed even though I was primary target... just couldn't get away I guess.

I would like to make an uber trappa like yours. Please post a mids build for me. TYVM!

Here. A finished build I've been using for several months now, with the exception of the Disruptor. (I just got that a week ago) A build worth three times more that what it did when I built it so unlikey one can throw it together now without gutting a few toons.

Standard goal of achieving the most HP, Recharge, and Regen. (I had hoped to double stack Triage Beacon in PvP like I do in PvE. Unfortunatly, even though the DR'ed rechage is there to do so... PvP doesn't allow more than triage beacon at a time... I know, a crock right?)

Hold Procs in Posion Gas and Acid Trap disable most drive by attacks. My traps basically do all the work, my very few attacks are there for scourging and cracking defenses.

A Good Trapper is one of very few you will ever see using phase shift offensively.

Phase Bombing: Using Phase Shift from the Concealment Pool as an on/off switch for multiple trap detonations on an opponent. Pull, Phase, wait for it.... Aim, UnPhase... LOL.

I also took Invis to go with teleport because invisiblity counters travel suppression o.O! (They probably won't admit it, but there a plennty peeps that have wanted to know how I'm able to TP out of just bout anything. secrets out and YW)

I know worthless info considering SS/SJ'ers can't benefit from the loophole.

I'm still waiting/bidding on the Purple Smashing proc for Posion gas, as well as optimizing some enhancements that are either too expensive or unavailable... btw does anyone know what the Pancea proc would do to Triage Beacon? Might be pretty cool for teams if the beacon becomes a source of +Endas well as regen?

[EDIT: If a cheaper build is prefered, I've gone through a couple and saved them along the way]

5 years there Mac. Lots of monies and friends. I keep personal base storages for all my toons there.Redside and Blueside.

I like the pop of Freedom, and I miss many of the Virtue peeps that moved there. However, I do not consider Virtue to be lacking in quality PvPers when compared to Freedom. Virtue is like the Freedom Suburbs... Not many folks PvP there the like in the "City" but the ones that do are usualy more well off in terms of skill, toons, experience, and decency.

IoW. I moved back to Virtue when the middle school kids all went to fredum to be deh ubar and PwNz the noobs.

The more you type, the more I find myself shaking my head.

^------ This

only selfish idiots choose to live in the suburbs.

give me pvp io's, baddie.

Is this why every time I've been in Virtue RV it's been a bunch of Regins fiteklubbing under Atlas who whine and swear at me when I AS them during duels?

If by avoid you mean pew pew them with psi blasts from 130 yards away or get a few stalkers to shark them from 80 yards. Drive by T-Strikes work really well too. Also if I hovering tp'ing corrupter isn't a farm target I don't know what is.

Keep posting though, the more people you get to build builds like, the easier it is to get PvP Io's.

lol yeah I remember those pools of death... you say farmed... but what you meant to say was I wade made target number one after killing or causing death to just about everyone who got near the pools without 4 or 5 to back them up just to spike me. Did the same thing in the tram, Dumpsters, bridge, etc.. would get invited instanly to teams and set up. I'd get props after dragging peeps up to rooftops to kill them, I'd phase bomb groups of 6 or 7 or 8 in front of base to allow others to spike them and chase them back, or preven a single person from leaving the base for fear of tp ganking, several Global invites when I left... fun times indeed.

Don't say my Traps Corr is an easy target when It's not... You may remember me dying but getting farmed is a far strech. I don't see how you can recall any such thing. I made good on my invested time on freedom.

Knowing how to use LoS prevents most ranged spiking... this applies to all ATs and sets I believe. They teach it in PvE.

And I'm curious... how exactly do YOU catch a Hovering TP'ing Corr that can web you too? Cause instead of catching me when I'm TP/Hovering about, most of what I see of SS/SJ'ers is Hibernating or running back to base once webbed, and out ranged and/or blinded and/or debuffed...

Farm Targets IMO are the very visible beams of SS hopping across a zone far below me... whose only hope of reaching me rest in the dependancy of a temp jetpack, lol... and whose complete confidence is ripped from them once web grenaded in an open zone. These are the peeps who haven't realized that SS/SJ is only optimal in arena where your kinda in an mission map size worth of space and just about every second counts... while in a zone well... SS/SJ is kinda clumbsy when compared to having the zone from top to bottom to use. It causes more running off back to base like a pro than it does running in to get a kill. I just TP up and laugh at people. Hmm, I wonder if Hiberate's requrement on most reccommended builds has something to do with the choice of travel??

At least that's what it looks like from above. But hey, don't take my word for it... cause I know it clearly states in the book of CCPvP that you must before anything else dediacte 2 pool powers to SS and SJ.

Actually target #1 tends to be the person that is easiest to kill.

Man, we're all legends in our own minds huh.

Fact is you got farmed, and farmed hard. Only time you even came close to doing well was camped in a pool with a MM or two next to you. You were bad. You only think you are good now because you play on virtue.

I mean honestly, this guy would phase when he was about to die and stick around dropping traps.

Ah, as mentioned before these would be fine excuses if not for the fact that transfers are free atm. Come to Virtue for a night and show me how you're too smart to die to a trapper. I been to Freedom several times in the last few weeks and I gave you my reasons for going back and have no reason to lie. What can I imagine will be your excuse?

So far I hear no arguements that counter mine. The closest thing to someone else here that's PvPed with a Traps toon was someone mentioning seeing one in SC. LOL Nah just haters here, who kinda know that what I'm saying makes sense but are too proud to look bad on deh boards. Some folks have the potatoes to say I'm wrong but lack the meat to back it up... so we go from excuse, to excuse , to excuse, to "It's because you're on Virtue LOL." classic and funny.


It's whatever though. Look me up on Virtue if you feel like testing ur PvP smarts... or make a witty excuse as to why you can't. (I'm sure that's easier)

It's whatevr though.

This suggests you understand very little of how things work. Breaking LOS will stop further attacks from landing but the spike itself will still apply the damage. No matter how far away you get, once the initial to hit rolls are made. LOS is best used to avoid follow up attacks or interruptable ones like snipes and AS.

Math is hard here. You have a range of 70 on your webnade. My psi blasts have a range of 130. As for "How to catch" you are thinking about it all wrong. Zones are seldom if ever a 1 v 1 situation. The question you should be really asking is "How am I going to deal with 3 blasters firing off their attack chain when they realize what a huge target I am"

As a blaster if you are webbed/-jump, you run... not from the loltraps corrupter, but the 5 hidden stalkers looking for an easy AS. The problem is... brutes, all corrupters, VEAT's, MM's and even stalkers can all take webs as well. So why did you roll traps on a corrupter again? Is it the stationary acid motar? The stationary psn gas trap? The incredibly slow seeker drones? The Stationary triage beacon, or maybe trip mines, which don't even work anymore with TP foe (If the target has half a brain and isn't afk thanks to the phase period you get after it)

This must be why you left freedom, because farm targets are without a doubt the hovering people you see trying to be "sneaky" up above everything else. Again, math helps here... if a blasters only hope of reaching you is a jet pack (70 range versus 130 again) You are of zero threat to them as well.

As for Hibernate, if I was dumb enough to make a build actually for zones, it'd take phase. Hiber is just asking to be camped. My point/question to you would be, sure you can get away from some people thanks to TP'ing to the ceiling of RV. Exactly how many can you catch when they evade you?

In the end it sounds like what you do is try to set up kills for other people (in between getting farmed). The problem is... there are so many builds that do it better and have powers that are infinitely more useful and much less situational.

The fact that you actually came to freedom.... then left after getting farmed doesn't really help your case. Asking people to come to virtue to show you what you've already been shown on freedom is just kind of dumb.
