uh. No. Tough was actually buffed for PvP.

In previous issues Tough only granted smash / lethal resistance. Back during Issue 16 the power was expanded to be resistance to all damage in PvP enviroments. The only mention of this on the forums that I'm aware of was in the Issue 16 open Beta. The search result can still be seen on Google, but the actual page itself is disabled: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/forumdisplay.php?f=669

Okay, the forum software is doing a cut off on the address. Google links to this address without the spaces: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/forumdisplay.php?s = 1e74407a0cf9c41fc862c7d8b8a41add&f = 669

It was way before that, actually.


"the reason there are so many sarcastic pvpers is we already had a better version of pvp taken away from us to appease bad players. Back then we chuckled at how bad players came here and whined. If we knew that was the actual voice devs would listen to instead of informed, educated players we probably would have been bigger dicks back then." -ConFlict

I couldn't find any earlier reference to it with either the forum search or an external search by Google, so I'll have to take your word that it occured before hand.

I didn't phrase that right... at least I don't think I did....

the only way I could see it perceived as nerfed, is the effect DR has on it

It was part of pvp2.0 in i13.

I will work on my sig pic more when I have time.

thanks all for responding....Even you Neeto. Humans are funny that way.

I was aware of it getting a buff, but recently it seems very "ineffective" compared to previous performance. Perhaps Im seeing more debuffs than Im accounting for...

Replace it with phase and you won't have those performace issues.

bah. Why stop there? Just tell them to stay near and attack from base. Uber PvP survival skills right dere boi.


"Situational power? Sure. Although in a sense... all powers are situational. It's just that some situations occur more than others." Understand the situation needed in order for the power to be most effective... and make that situation happen.

If you think tough helps more in PvP than phase, perhaps you need to think outside the box a bit more.

For zone, if you think you can't take tough AND temp phase power.... you should stay in your box.


Repeat Offenders forever !

Make all IO's available in Paragon Market! NCSoft, the chinese are making BIG money selling influence and other stuff in the game. Best way to stop them = make the paragon market a place to buy all IO's and perhaps other things as well.

Please learn who you're talking to. Temp phase isn't even remotely close to being as good as the real thing. Taking tough in PvP is the sign of a noob, in about 99% of cases.

The sweet truth is tough is better in team arena and phase is better in zones for melee.


And yes power pool phase's activation time only makes it vastly superior to temp phase.
