Best, Favorite, Underrated: Temp Powers

Skilled is someone that is good at the game. We've been over this before.

Obviously it takes more skill to play a bad toon than a good one. But simply playing one doesn't make you good. Doing well on one does. And no, what you do in the zones is not considered "doing well" by anybody besides yourself.

Every person that's seen you play says you're average at best. Please get over yourself, and stop acting like god's gift to CoH PvP.

You think that a player is skilled because they do without.

I think a player is skilled simply because they do.

Well, sure. They didn't like your 'uppity tone' obviously (read: oh noes! an opinion that isn't carbon copied from MIDS!!!). And we all know they camp this board just waiting for an opportunity for someone they think they can go all 4chan /b/ on. Those rep points are mighty tasty.

2. I'm not a subpar player. Anyone who actually knows me know this. Weird PvP toons perhaps, but not a subpar player by far. Those who think this of me are disregarded due to ignorance in my book. Sorry. My rep here (on deh forums) is bad not because I'm bad (to all those who don't actually know) My rep here is bad because I don't do Damage... not yet anyway. I'm saving that for last. I do everything having to do with PvP besides damage. It is my main focus when building and participating in PvP. To make a Stalker/Blaster now would probably bore me right out of the game. I get kills, have fun, stay rich from drops, have fun, find counters for FoTMs, get kills, I die trying a lot, I never rage or disrespect, and I do not require a system to change to enjoy PvP.
Nothing wrong with that. If reps you mean post-count...well, so what. Anyone can post 736485938721253738363 lolwhat/nomnomnom/lolz/lawlz/learn2pvpkthxbai/fill_in_the_insult_from_mids_here...to get their rep up. I've seen a real post from players who's post count total was 13 that said more, like your OP, than all 25369872564698 of End Retanna's posts.

3. If those here who have been deemed worthy to post opinions know the most... and have labeled zone PvP as supbar due to the rules and the system and/or the people that PvP in it. How can one turn to the same peeps in terms of guidance here on the boards in terms of what works and what is viable? Hell, Conflict only uses 2 temp powers outta of how many avalable to use in the game while PvPing in a zone???
Conflict is a good player, but grouchy. And just because a player is good in pvp doesn't mean they can teach crap. Macskull is good with power information, however, he'll give ya an accurate dope on temps. You're not saying use temp powers instead of REAL powers, but like, if there are 4 MMs just begging someone to come into TP range, hell I'd try to throw a nuke from warburg and a shivan at em sure. If it hits it would be awesome. I got two MMs and a brute in SC with fallout one time off a vangaurd medal in old PvP...they got blown the F up. Right in front of the hospital too it was glorious.

4. Temp powers used at the right time for the right purpose in a zone are awesome. We all use them when we got them so theres really nothing to disagree about. What it takes to get them and whether it is worth it is different for everyone... the point of the OP was to discuss different temps and their effect in PvP if one so chooses to fetch it or have it drop.
I agree. Two Shot 'lived' on temp powers. Unfortunately Two Shot also does the same 4 things all day long and is as interesting to fight after 5 minutes as a Kora Fruit Mission. Any temp power that can slow down Matt Link or make him visible fast is a good temp power, any other temp power...meh, you'd be lucky if you get to use it on him. Same thing with Hyper AI. And they are friendly vets too. I'm STILL laughing about [Deez Nutz.2]

Temp power ideas:
Placate is nice on PBs in light form. Prolly on a defender. I got it on my stalker for double placate, so I can placate the person protecting the target and the other one for running after the target.
Of course, the first target my stalker is going after is Barrier.
War Burg temp powers would be useful for storming the anthill...mm nest at the bus.
I love the flap jack power....I shoot the flap jack at necks just for fun.
I love the hammer temp power. I'll hit a brute with it just to do it.
Sands of Mu is sometimes useful if you have 25% of your end to spare, but I don't use it in an attack chain, its way too expensive end wize.
Jet Pack...who doesn't love jetpack? Meh, for 10K, it's a no-brainer to buy one.
However, my flyers all take air superiority. I can get knocked out of the sky, but they can too. Add in placate, and in the right situation they can't shark ya out of the sky.

Leave the hate at home people. This thread does not require it.
I didn't see anything in your OP as being derrogatory or arrogant or uppity. I read it as someone who wanted to talk about temp powers. But it appears that in this forum, you might as well have posted:

"I like PvP"

And you would have received the same time of canned replies from MIDS.

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.
And 4 defenders with leadership and some rez and stand at the base in siren's call for an hour.
