psi is broken

Since that saying was used repeatedly to nerf PFF....It now should be used to nerf psi...There is no defense against psi that really works...this is not balanced, and or fair.It has created much turmoil on the PVP freedom zone..specifically RV

PFF in PVP is not PFF at all anymore...in its description it states that it is a defense against all attacks other than toxic...yet ALL attacks now breach PFF and I hardly ever see toxic damage..WTF?

Devs need to redesign the whole PVP experience...and please restore PFF ...It is the same as hibernate...why not nerf hibernate too in that reasoning?

It was bad form to nerf PFF in the first place.

Psi is broken...It needs nerfing.

This has created the same toon design running around in PVP...where is the originality?

PFF provides defense against Psi.

PFF was nerfed because it provided too much defense/elusivity for blasters/doms in an APP.

It was nothing to run around with 6-8 people shooting at you and flooring all of their to hit values even on builds with significant Acc and To-hit. It was broken, people joked how broken it was.

Psi Defense can come from Force Fields, Mind Link, anything that gives ranged defense (So yes even cold shields) any AoE defense powers (Steamy Mist, Shadow fall, arctic fog, etc) Indomitable will for Doms/Trollers

Psi Resists can come from Shadow Fall, Any epic Res Shield, Tough, Mind Link, Aegis Proc, Impervium Armor proc (which you can slot up to 5 of for 15% Res right there), Sonic Dispersion and various other sets that provide 3% res for slotting.

Hibernate has a 240 second recharge and after it is used, no matter how fast you get it to recharge there is the "No Phase" period to deal with.

PFF provides lesser survivability in exchange for a 30 second recharge, no mobility penalty and no "No Phase" period to deal with.

this

any changes that should be made to psi to bring it into balance should be made from global changes that affect a wide range of powers/ATs/modifiers and not specifically to psi within the parameters of the current system.


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.

You are wrong...I play in Freedom PVP RV everyday. I see, and know what needs nerfing...Psi needs nerf..

If your going to nerf PFF then nerf hibernate...

PFF was NEVER broken...PFF was just that ...a personal force field...much like hibernate, only it does not restore your vitals...yet you can move....To nerf PFF was a major flaw....

Also travel supression is a flaw...If you are a energy,or elec blaster you cannnot advance on target ..You are held for some ridiculous reason....

PFF must be restored to its original purpose.....The game states that it is one of the most powerful defense choices...yet in PVP...PFF is nothing more than a joke...Yet hibernate is left alone...

This is bull....If you are going to nerf PFF, and make it useless- then Nerf Dark Armor,Stone armor,Ice Armor,charged armor and mind over body...Because PFF was the only reasonable Def against stalkers,scrappers,MM's Tanks ,Brutes that are over powered with high end enhancements...Now,since they cried that PFF was to strong the Devs gave in, and they nerfed it....Well in that case Nerf all the other Defense sets for all the other builds...

What has become of originality in this game?,,First it was stalkers with assault strike now its Psi Blasters with Mental attacks....It needs nerfed badly!

OH!,I see,It actually gave a blaster that is of a origin other than psi a chance...so that is why you wanted it nerfed...

Typical and at the core of my point..

To much defense she said....Well In that way of thinking...I think your attacks are to powerful, so it should be nerfed...See.

Lame lame lame

Nerfing PFF was a flaw''''

NERF HIBERNATE and make it so they can be attacked while in the ice....That is what you did to PFF....See....It was and is wrong!

Devs,please restore PFF! Or start nerfing everyone elses defense powers...start with Hibernate!

PFF was not broken but it is now!! Everything gets through!!!

I see how you nerfed PFF yet powered up everything that breaches it?
Why exactly?

The game is flawed when you have a PFF tweeked by Mids to be at its most powerful level,,,,and you go into RV and anything and everything breaches it...

Fix PFF please.
