Best, Favorite, Underrated: Temp Powers

Not really, that in itself is another pointless flame, why do pvp players seem to think its ok to act like total dicks instead of actually just replying as the original poster wanted?

Theres no need for all the crap that comes here from the forumites, really get a life.

No-one here has that perception of you.

Most of your advice. Is bad. Not hatin. Jus'sayin.

Teleport is bad for pvp. Same way brutes are normally. What use is someone who really can't kill anything, even if they don't die?

Traps are bad for PvP, the same way MMs are. PvP, movement=good. MM and traps, Movement= bad.

When someone comes around with information that is utterly wrong and easily provably wrong, many people tear the advice apart. The person attempting to give bad advice does one of two things, take it and stfuuu, or try to argue a point that the advice isn't bad. Sometimes the latter actually does something. Other times, it just makes u look like an idiot.

Ah yes, Dahjee the martyr.

Yeah...

Problem is... is that I don't use words like good and bad. I don't advise. The best PvPers are sometime those that figure things out as they go. You won't find posts with me saying this is better or this is worse. Try to... you just won't find such a thing. I've stated many times that I don't come here to advise others.. and I don't. Search some more... try to find posts with me giving advice here to someone about what to do in PvP that's not based on personal experience... you won't find any. Nah this "Dahjee gives bad advice" trip is just another lame excuse of the week to justify hating me. There should be a club for this really.

Superjump is bad for PvP too. SS/SJ is ideal however. Teleport is bad for PvP you say... perhaps... Teleport/Hover is viable in a zone though. I know from using it for several years along with toons that SS/SJ so yes, I may say that I can answer questions better than the next about how to make it work. You see I don't come here and say "TP is the best!!!" Nah you all start that argument... not me. Why? I do not know. It's absurd to me that folks here can say something doesn't work without even attemptting to state what is need to make it work.

Same for Traps... can you find the post of me saying traps is better than anything in a zone! Or one that states Traps is awesome when played as a first PvP toon or that Traps is better than a blaster specc'ed for DPS and killing? Nope. Nothing of the sort can be found. I don't come here and say I'm good... or bad... or better... or anything. I come here and say it can work and here's how and why? I then argue with people who have never once done the same as me and watch as others believe them. Go Figure. Like the fact that you say traps are bad because they lack mobility... It's just weird to hear when I play traps and I can move about freely and set up traps where and when needed to assist with kills. What exactly is your opinion based on when you say that?

Has PvP really been reduced to the point where skill is defined by one's ability to roll the easiest toon to get kills with? Is anyone really impressed with a Psy/Em's ability to get a kill these days? Are we impressed with a /Regen's ability to survive? Do we consider these people good players... or people doing as instructed? At some point shouldn't skill be defined by a players ability to do... without?

Am I too respect the opinions of those who can only list FoTM sets but cannot tell me how to make my ??/?? snowflake specialist build work? Hell how long has it been since I13? Where are the DR numbers? Are we waiting on Mids to tell us how to get good defense in PvP? a few question that will go unanswed of course, but my point overall is that I don't come here with advice... My only wrong it seems is coming here with an open mind about PvP.

You should learn. Admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery.

Only against reall bad foes. And if you build to beat the lowest common denominator then you can only be slightly better than the worst. Thats not really the advice people come here for.


I tell you what mr find where i said stuff. Find a post by me that says anything other than traps is only viable in pvp on a mm. Yes you can play it in zones on a corr. This does not make it useful or a real asset to a team. A corr lacks the hp to really do what traps does best. And as I have pointed out in the past I am a traps vet. This is not theorycraft. I know how it plays out. I am glad you found your little niche in zones and it makes you feel special and loved. In all reality you are little more than a phantom army pet that can be attacked.





I can't speak for everyone who blast on you, but me and barrier probably play more snowflake builds than anyone else in game. Sure we have fotms to but you will seldom see either of us on them.



If you actually read around here you would have seen a post by Steatoda breaking down exactly how good defense is in pvp. And anyone who thinks its garbage is as clueless about pvp as you.




Dropping acid =/= open mind. There are people out there trying new stuff all the time. Sometimes stuff works out, sometimes it doesn't. The key is admitting it doesn't. Which is were you come up short.

No. That is scrub mentality. You are not more "skilled" because you play something gimpy such as traps.

Going off of this, theres a huge difference between playing a sub par set and doing well with it, (Barrier on his lolice/ice dom); And then doing poorly on a bad set but thinking you do well cause you only have a 1:3 k/d ratio.

This may have been your experience with teleport... Don't assume everyone has the same trouble using the combo. Also, stop pretending that you only attack good players in a zone somehow... it's a weak argument to say something will only work against bad players... Isn't that the majority in RV anyway?


Actually the key is realizing what it will take for it to work. When that road is too hard then it makes sense for some to quit or reroll or try and convince others that something doesn't work. For others it repesents a challenging set or approach in which one can only get better from repeated play. Simply put, YMMV - or has that phrase stopped be applicable here.

So you're saying one is "skilled" because they play FoTMs?

What exactly would you called "skilled" X?
