I'm sort of assume it's just a nifty way of auto nerfing abilities to present a more even approach to PVP. Adjusting the focus of combat to weapon vs weapon and making it somewhat more skill based and reliant on using stuns, blocks, and interrupts etc, rather than just power blasting.
I understand their motivation behind it, I'm just not sure how I feel about it yet. Then again I don't really run DPS in arena PVP anyway. I really, really enjoy being a healer and just winning my fights via attrition

Hardly. Many classes, the dps trade off is very minor or the stat different makes not much impact especially since it is purely power related. As I noted, some classes will not want to make the trade off, while some builds will benefit greatly from all the other increased stats.
PVP gear also will usually increase ones many other stats over the base games gear giving other benefits that you are trading might for.
It's not about making pvp in general last longer, the protection can be extremely beneficial to various builds that don't depend on their powers for major dps, and with all the crazy dps that can be put out in group combat, a full on toughness set will give you a nice protection boost. My dual pistol mental character build does most of it's damage from it's weapon combos, not my powers, so the increased precision over might gives me better dps really while also the protection boost from toughness in pvp.

So at 30, notice my renown is still friggin low with every faction. What do I need to do to increase it mainly? Repeating instances at 30 seems pretty lame, assume alters and duos affect certain renown?

I think other people can join while you wait for the start. I accidentally started one not knowing what it was and the countdown to Go was about 15-25 seconds.

Does anyone know how to get the green machine feat? I see the hazardous waste barrels but what do I do with them?
Any consensus on the best weapon for criticals combo-wise? The staff is okay, but its got two hits within its stun portions that are just a bunch of really small hits instead of anything really damaging. I'm thinking of switching to brawling or even dual pistols....

Lot of the crit bonuses you get are crit damage increases, getting upgrades to crit chance is alot harder it seems.

has anyone done the "solo" instances for the other "mentors" yet? For example if you chose joker as your mentor have you done the instances to get feats for the meta and magic? I am told if i am in a group i can get into the instances, I hope its that easy.

Ok now I feel bad for killing you at the hospital. Kid Chloro here.
Yeah, I've branched into Dual Pistols to get some of the bonuses but I still my main staffs.Leunam said:
Its just a bitch because I want my big hits and combo finishes to crit - not my bs stun locking moves.
Mass Detonation criticals have been known to stop the sun from rising in Gotham though.

Still wondering what the penalty for death is? Do I just respawn at the base? Is PVP different than death from a NPC?

Thanks for the reply. In PVP can they loot my gear?
So there's a new cinematic for the story.

I like that they released this now, has far more of an effect and managed to make me squeal like a teenage girl just like the first video did.

The more rare the item the more expensive to repair as well. Later on when you got nice gear sets of rare loot to repair, your repair bills go out the roof.

The game has frozen on me about 4 times since the patch. Has this happened to anyone else?
I haven't done hard alerts or raids or duos, but speaking of the normal alerts, the hardest is always gorilla island, ever since the beta, not because of its difficulty, but because people of lvl 15ish absolutely refuses to cycle instance.

Being a healer with 3 DPs is hell. They can't stop you from being pounded, they don't restore your power, they don't control crowds. They just keep hitting and getting those 3 or 4 heals until I run out of power.
And then everyone dies.

Fire pissed me off today. The delay on EVERYTHING worth having is making me rage.
I tried so hard to use skills that ignored that self-healing so that I wouldn't feel so bad about going pure dps but its only made me feel bad. Oh well... maybe I'll make another character lulz

Almost 30 with my healer.
Switched from martial arts to dual wield.
Wanted the extra restoration, but I'm especially pleased with the energy restoration,
each hit counts as 2 in the combo meter.
Higher combo's = faster energy regen.

So using staff with my hero and got a combo that just doesn't seem to work. It follows same first two steps as another combo so it just launches into the original one. The new combo is the one that is supposed to launch an opponent in the air to juggle, that you press square, then hold square, then hold square, followed by 5 hits. Problem is when you do the first hold square it launches a different combo you first learn and the rest of the combo doesn't seem to ever work.
