corr. - dark/cold, sonic/therm, sonic/pain.
dom. - mind/fire.

Positron's i13 letter: We are trying to make PvP more accessible to new players, while giving experienced PvP'ers the advantage that comes with formulating tactics around the new systems we're putting in place. PvP from now on will be on our priority list. If something isn't working out, we'll be in there tweaking it and making it work, for the entire future of the product, not just Issue 13.
Good to hear. I've never been sure exactly what about ele bugged me... the noises maybe.
Any thoughts about a non ele/ stalker?
and particularly, would kin/ be suicide?

KM on Stalkers is decent.
"One day we all may see each other elsewhere. In Tyria, in Azeroth. We may pass each other and never know it. And that's sad. But if nothing else, we'll still have Rhode Island."
Given that I'm only rarely more than decent myself, km/wp should be a decent fit.
Thanks
looks like I've got my 2 characters to level in GR
The cake is a lie! The cake is a lie!
So I'm back, I've stopped playing that other game with orcs, and that other other game, which also has super heros... I'd like to roll up... SOMETHING for GR.
And I'd like it to be something that'll work in whatever PvP has become in the past year. After reading a few posts, it doesn't look like it's changed much since reduction factors were applied and everything changed
So I'm making a new character... The thing is, I have serious reservations about certain power sets, I never liked the look and or feel, and I doubt I will now... Somewhere I'm hoping there's a PvP set I can live with.
Back in I... 12 I think... I used to love my fortunata. He could buff, he could kill, He was great in PvE, he worked very well indeed in the kind of PvP I actually did (Zone and arena duels, with some random group pickup games from time to time)
Importantly, he looked damn cool doing it.
I've done support with my rad/thermal. He was ok, but I wasn't the best at support... Probably because I'm just not that great... In any case if I wanted to play that way, I'd probably just resurrect him. I'm looking for something that can kill.
I'm thinking of rolling a Dom, but I'm not thrilled with the look and feel of /ele. Are there other good choices? I don't mind Mind/*
I'd enjoy trying another stalker, but I've no love at all for ele/ and I've done spines/* Would I be gimping myself to death by doing Kinetic Melee/WP?
I'm not thrilled with corruptors or controllers in general, but if he looked cool enough I guess I'd consider it. I hear cold is good, and I can deal with that... but do I have to take sonic?
Any thoughts are appreciated!
