Still here.

I thought combat evasion was for the "evade combat" ability and not rolling out of interlock. Am I wrong here?

Well a good ma should have some points towards ballistic defense. Theres enough gunners out there to warrant a few points in that area. They will lose some melee damage but I think its a good pay off. As a duelist I put some points into be...

An MA shouldnt be losing every roll to a duelist so the poster is doing something wrong. Also SMG =! Duelist. I know Duelist very well since its my main loadout and if I was betting on a fight between a skilled ma and a skilled duelist in...

MA's are stronger than a duelist in interlock. Whats your melee accuracy and ballistic resistance?

That video rocks.. best ive seen so far. Message Edited by Renesis13B on 05-05-2006 06:53 PM

How much are you guys looking to spend? I have a male yuki bandanna thats never been used but I was going to keep it. If the price is right ill sell it. Message Edited by Renesis13B on 05-04-2006 11:30 PM

Those abilities require states to work. I guess hackers wouldnt know anything about that. Jilted_1 wrote: this is the result of whiners that are afraid to be killed by hackers. remember if they had their way the hacker tree would entirely...

I obviously agree with most of what you said although Code Infection is bugged and the devs have confirmed that its bugged. In fact most of the DoT abilities and weapons are doing more damage than they are suppose to. That hopefully will b...

Hmm..My vd is at 141 with 27 belief. The most ive been ever able to get was around 160 that was with 30 belief and every passive ability I could load that had vd bonuses and some gunman abilities. The loadout completely sucked but hackers...

We can look at averages too: -Average DPS of Ballista abilities that dont require a state in interlock is 35.5 -Average DPS of Duelist abilities that dont require a state in interlock is 19.2

Every round in interlock is 4 seconds so comparing the dps numbers is accurate. My point is very simple ballistas can inflict more damage in interlock faster and with less effort than other trees. Yes npcs are easy to get a state on but in...

Tagging hardlines and access nodes is good for about the first 20 levels. Ive been running missions solo on hard using spy and it seems to be the easiest way. Of course if you have a level 50 willing to run missions with you it would be be...

Ill spell it out for all of you. Ballista Abilities that can be used anytime: Logic Blast 1.0 - DPS 11 UI Lag 1.0 - Debuff Overload 1.0 - Debuffs Logic Barrage 2.0 - DPS 17 Logic Barrage 3.0 - DPS 40 Logic Blast 2.0 - DPS 31 Stun 1.0 - Stu...

Pistol Aerial has a dps of 16 and has no debuffs or causes no states. My bedlams have a dps of 13 and can cause blinded. My point? Pistol Aerial is useless as a level 50 duelist. Look at the attacks a ballista can do and compare. Huge diff...

Ma's will and should be the best interlock class since they have no ranged attacks. They need to do a lot of damage in interlock since they cant do anything outside of it. Duelists are decent in interlock and out of interlock. Rifles are v...

My main build is Duelist and the abilities share the same timers. Its not possible to queue them back to back. Hanzyl and Gretyl wrote: Duelist and i imagine most other trees too but i have no exp on them.

You explained it perfectly.

Ill also add a hacker can get their viral accuracy up to 240 for 20 secs with upgrade attacks. Theres no way you can get enough viral deflection to overcome that in interlock or out. At least when your outside of interlock you can free fir...

Its possible to use normal attacks like speed, power or grab but they do a lot less damage than the viral attacks a hacker can use back to back not to mention any debuffs they might land. Its one thing to duel someone and do it and then tr...

20 secs can be up to 5 interlock rounds. If upgrade attacks is active im losing the first couple rounds of interlock guaranteed. How a hacker chooses to use those rounds differentiates between a good hacker and a poor one. Smart ones will...

Tell me wise one..how am i suppose to prevent hackers being able to roll specials back to back in interlock with my stats and influences? Funny how all of you keep ignoring that question.

Come on over ill be happy to show you how much my build blows. I have twice the viral resistance than I do any other resistance. I have 141 viral deflection which doesnt help me in interlock against hackers. What you hackers dont understan...

Viral defense does nothing when both players use specials and since hackers can use specials back to back it makes it very difficult to win rolls especially if they are buffed with Upgrade Attacks. 20 secs of Upgrade Attacks in interlock i...

You dont need to apply spy style to get those buffs. They are passive and your stats window will show them working.

States dont last very long so you have to be quick to get it queued. If you take too long and the state wears off your opponent the attack fails. I cant remember having any trouble using it although I mostly use abilities that cause dazed.

What happened when you clicked on it? Did you get any visual feedback in your hotbar?

I didnt miss that line at all but you also said: I see 3 things wrong here, ER seems pretty weak, SMGs are a bit high, and KungFu is outrageous. In comparrison to the other trees it should be obvious that KungFu and SMGs are are doing alot...

You cant add up the dps numbers and get accurate damage stats. Your not accounting for the time it takes to use an attack. In interlock its 4 seconds but out of interlock it depends entirely on the ability. A perfect example is devastation...

Cryshal theres no reason for name calling. I state the facts and give my experiences and you resort to name calling. Im not going to argue with you and get another thread locked. There are some serious balance problems with hackers right n...

If you do boxes with other builds besides hacker then youll realize how overpowered hackers are. Dont make the boxes harder for everyone just because they are too easy for hackers.

Sure they do and your wrong on the timers. If I use a duelist ability all of the abilities for that tree have timers that dont let me use them. I have to wait a round. I can use abilities from other trees but then I get hit with a 1 round...

Actually you want to select your gun not self defense.

Unless your using viral attacks your style shouldnt be hacker. Switch it to self defense and your damage should go up.

Theres nothing wrong with hyper-dodge and with cr 2.0 your going to get hit more. No matter how hard you try to avoid it you will get hit inside and outside of interlock. You have to build your resistances so when they do hit they do very...

I think around 130-140 viral accuracy is the norm. Ive heard as high as 242 with upgrade attacks. Either your missing something in your loadout or your stats are set up wrong. I cant tell you how to do it since I dont use that tree but 100...
