MM's Weekly CTF Thread

Hello and welcome to ][\/][][\/]['s Weekly CTF Thread!

In case you guys didn't know, I've been hosting weekly CTF games at a specific time each Saturday for level 50-55 pvpers. Here's the full thread if you wanna check it out-

http://www.spacetimestudios.com/show...-Back-For-Good!

Here are some pictures from last week's game!

I decided to create a new thread that's not quite as chaotic as the other one so that I can update it more clearly each week. If you don't get a chance to read the other thread, here's the rundown:

1. No forgotten items
2. The password to my locked game will be "Mightymicah"
3. You can be level 50-55 but you must use level 50 gear or below.
4. Halloween items ARE allowed for the time being!*

Below I'm going to creat a schedule for the next several weeks. The time is going to vary from week to week in order to give everyone a chance to participate. I'll start this particular thread with this week's scheduled time.

6/15/13 (Saturday)
Scheduled Time: 7pm Est (Sorry I've posted this last minute, guys)
Success or failure: Failure
Matches played: 0

6/22/13 (Saturday)

Scheduled Time: 3pm Est

Matches played: 1?

7/6/14 (Saturday)

Hope as many of you guys can make it as possible! I'll post in this thread once a week to bump it up and inform people of any possible changes, or just to confirm that the games will be on. See y'all in game!

If not enough people show up, it's a failure. I figured it would help so people (and mainly I) can quickly glance back over the last few weeks and see which times worked most effectively. :)

Do you have to a "pro" to join? If not then I'm in ^_^

Add helpingcookie I'm usually on anyways

Question: How did Notbond get 0 kills but 2 scores?

That was my rhino I helped finish game quick ;) we had to finish early

Tank everyone eh?

Sorry about this weekend Micah, but I could not participate with my 50 twink (androidxx). Work hit me hard so I needed my beauty sleep time (7pm est is about 1am mesz/gmt+1 -my timezone). Will try to join next one.

Because they have to be L50 or lower. Plus most people farmed 51+ reapers rather than 50

Two words-Dex Mage. About 90% of the players who are participating are dex mages simply because they're the best. Once you give bears reapers, and birds chunkers, things even up a little bit. It's only a test for awhile. If it turns out to wreck the matches, then I'll swap the rules back. We're going for as balanced and fun as possible! :)

Lmao, the reaper levels are every 5 after 10. There is no level 51 reapers... Notyo is right. With my (now notyos) reaper. It will destroy and little birdies or bears..

Btw micah this is pvp not ctf. Ctf = capture the flag

You're welcome

That means Dex mages can use pumpkin Chunker also lol so the strong will get stronger? Oh well lets just see how it works out like you said.

In my experience as a 50 dex Mage, I was much more successful with the extra set bonus, including crit, when facing my opponents. However, as a 50 bird I've noticed that it's much easier to kill low dodge opponents with a chunker. You're right, though, we'll just see how it works. Hopefully the temptation to make a bear with a reaper will also bring more bears around. :)

Reaper blade mixed with lvl 50 str sets = no bueno. Just an FYI. Especially when Rift gives such an amazing set bonus.

Agreed, to an extent. The main reason I added it was so that birds and dex bears might perhaps stand a better chance against dex mages. Because let's face it, you and I got whooped the other day by all those dex mages ;)

I have my bear that's coming up :) it'll be there soon! Unfortunately I have hardly played PL at all and since I can't make it to next ctf match anyways I don't see how it'll effect anyone if it was leveled. Bummer I can't go :(

True, but when you have five mages with mana shields, revive, and infinite heals, it's more about the class numbers than sets.

True but also if they are all Dex mages as soon as they accept revives they are suppppper squishy.

How much hit % and Health pool does a pure strengh bear on rift set have?

Uggh... just deleted my comparison pics. Hit is in the 90's and Health was close to 800. Don't remember the exact numbers.

I'd rather do atleast 115 Dex on my bear :/

You can ;) Try 115 strength and rest dex so you can use both rift and sentinel/void! ;)

Actually, you can the he suggested also. 115 is the base stat for all 50 sets.

Thanks Crim, I guess i'll make one and get the mecha face with a hit ring and put enough dex points to reach 100% hit, it should be a beastly tank in ctf.

If you use bear, then use Void so you'll be flying in hit%, somewhere around 150. And Rift has around 130% hit, you'd have by far enough hit.

---

With full str and face plus ring you will have 101 hit. With Dex/str it's 123 hit which is safer to have

Yeah you're going to need a lot of hit, bro. Imagine facing two birds with 30% blind debuffs. That wouldn't fare too well :\

Isn't that where teamates have to go in ;) This bear would be strictly for CTF, so maximazing the tanking stats (armor and hp, no dodge unfortunately) would be very beneficial for the team, besides doesn't rift set add an extra +50 hp bonus too? Also if i'm correct, beign pure str should boost the skill dmg of bear by a nice amount, so it's worth a try. Of course i'm going to test it before the ctf match, but I don't think it's going to be ready by saturday considering bears take a bit longer to lv up than bird and mage unless I get a friend to help with the lving.

Not worth tanking if you can't hit debuffs.

See, that's where bears get the short end of the stick. Where birds and mages maximize their skill potential by going pure, bears don't. Certain skills are not as effected by strength as they are dexterity. I know, makes zero sense but welcome to my world for the last 2 years.

:/

How come my l56 SM bear with 93'ish hit% did perfectly fine? I've never had an issue with birds using blinding on me, since most of the time it gets dodged, so 101 hit% should be more than enough.

Exactly ^ it got dodged. Cos you had sm set witch gives dodge.. With rift he won't have dodge, blind will most likely hit.

Key word: SM bear.


At 50, if a bird blinds you, kites your stomp, and hits their roots, you're down.

First lets just hope enought birds join, the only two birds that have been playing are micah and crim, and the few times i've joined they were on my team. And I guess you're all right, rift set misses that dodge stat that makes bears the real tank, so I guess i'll do a higher hit % build to avoid risking to those debuffs.

Don't let them fool you. Between a maxed taunt, evade, and 14 dodge a Rift set gives, and add a 2% dodge ring, you will dodge a lot more than you think.
