All this proves is you have a terrible sense of humor.

And that its tough to nuke down someone 10 levels above you, as it should be.

true... except anti travel powers work much better on the other travel powers than they do teleport.

That being said... Your video pretty much fails to prove your point. Its like saying "look! I told you the car wouldn't work!" when you quite clearly took the car and drove it into a wall.

if anything your video just shows why teleport needs to be nerfed. Level 30 with minimal defense "somehow" manages to survive a stupid amount of time against a level 40.

First a disclaimer: I don't feel the game is or should be balanced for duels, but I still like duels as a way to test things out and goof around.

At level 26 with rank 3 assault rifle (I prefer burst damage, hence not the mow'em down advantage), dex/ego specced, standing in my +20% force eruption mist, using swallowtail cut and ego sprites, I cannot kill a level 20 with regen as long as he counters my crippling challenge - even if I crit on more than half of the AR maintain.
I'd try out nullifying punch, but I hear it's not working right now and I can't afford respeccing if that turns out to be true.

The advantage off Haymaker? It was working when I tried it a few days ago. I don't see why it would be broken again randomly. It's the only way I can kill my mindful reinforcement--or whatever the actual name may be--bug abusing friend in a duel on my main melee.

Thanks, guess I'll pick it up and try it out. I'm guessing it procs just by tapping?

Yes and it definitely can be stacked against regen. I'd assume the same for actual heals, but I didn't actually test that part in depth.

yep nullifying punch does work, he was using it on me sometimes :O

made my regen tick for 40 hp instead of 200

Advice for either player:

1. put Crippling Challenge on one of your powers -- use it when they block
2. pickup a power/advantage that snares
3. pickup a power/advantage that removes travel powers, OR just pickup an object near you to throw at them and remove their travel power
4. realize that TP is OP
5. try it all out

Then you will be closer to being ready to give advice on how they should change the game.

Of course you can't spam laser sword. if you could, it would be op. Regen gets stronger when they are actively taking damage. holding your dps on a regener, building up, then doing a dps burst with slow big hitting abilities is how you kill one. Same with Invul which takes a chuck off each hit making small fast hits lose a larger portion of their damage then slow big ones.


Defense should always win vs offense in 1on1. in group play, you can stack offense and focus fire, but you can not focus defend. It doesn't exist. Multiple offensive players can assist each other and blow targets up in ways defenders can not defend against and certainly not reciprocate.

The other guys 8k hp suggests he either stacked con, or is in defensive stance.
If a level 30 in off role, with off passive, could burn down a level 40 in def role with a def passive, there would be something VERY wrong with the game.

Offensive passives are fine. Elec is more of an aoe damage tree, my ice form ice character wrecks people. She is certainly softer then my PA, but her offense makes up for it easily.

Avenger form could use some love. The damage is fine, but it needs a larger aggro reduction, and the hp penalty is probably too large.
