so photon blast is finally getn fixed...

so is any other finisher. I've beaten so many gadget DPS's with my Earth DPS it's not even funny.

why do people keep claiming this statement to be true? it is not "HIGH" risk. If you're good just like any other player/power set, you can easily take advantage of the dmg precision based powers produce. I've been rage, and knowing peoples habits vs rage, it's quite easy to counter them and deal a TON of dmg.

Was never looking for any sympathy. Justed posted my concern backed it up with my experience. All experiences help shape an opinion including those with PUG groups.

I also did not intend to Bash the developers or GU 36. But your comment that these select powers are intended to be better and all the other powers have to wait for an eventual revamp rubbed me the wrong way.

Earth is amazing in pvp

gagets electric whip thing is op as heck

You see the same thing with some people with CR 75-80 toons complaining about not being able to get into T4 raids,
while other posters complain about new 30's being walked into Gates to power level without learning their role.

Two people can have two entirely different experiences in this game, and I've learned that both are telling the truth.
I think it depends upon server, the time of day, Why? Why, why, why, why, why? Luck! Blind, stupid, simple, doo-dah, clueless luck!

Some people luck into friendly and helpful groups.
Some people are unfortunate enough to get a lot of Biebers.

actually ive said many times berserk is way out there. now matter how much you try to bring things in line it wont matter because berserk will allow the rage guy to get ahead in dps if he doesnt fumble it up. sure it may be easy enough to fumble a berserk. im pretty sure ive found them all by experience lol. you can get countered right away and end up raging against yourself for wasting the berserk for example. but it is only a 50% sc. i think if it is going to be that cheap it should be 50% damage or make the damage split or something because the potential there is unreal. you cant begin to balance rage until you balance berserk because it multiplies everything.

Ik it is, but it still isn't a top DPS power.

and the only way the top precision based powers are "high risk" is in PvE while they being used with role (Troll, Hlr, or Tank) . HL has PoT lunges, and close to mid ranged debuffs, Celestial is just plain slow at healing, and Rage is probably the riskiest tank ever (easy, but very risky, that I do agree with.

These classes in PvP being hard and or "high risk" though? Definitely not.

this^

berserk mixed with a blood lust > plasma retch > jump cancel into Outrage (while in air) > E chainz is a pretty nasty combo. Especially if you know people's habbits vs rage, you can easily counter in between that.

Rage's only weakness right now, is that their main shield can easily be debuffed. Other then that, Their incredible amount of dmg potential is through the roof. I've beaten people in fully expert modded android while I was in fully modded synthetic III logistics officer gear.

Rage and Ice are probably the only classes that can do very decently well no matter the tier of gear they're in. But with games of no debuffs, Rage definitely takes the Top DPS spot in PvP for me.

You got it all wrong dude and many have explained this to you in about 30 other threads. Moves that are vulnerable to block or interrupt have a higher risk than those that are instant cast. Celestial is high risk because the only time you can pull off a combo in a fight is when you have immunity. You probably don't pvp if you don't realize that.

Also pvp isn't all about power damage, that's why earth is good in pvp. It's more about class utility(moves that mitigate damage/breakouts) and weapon damage (which we all have). That's why ice is the top pvp class, but low tier pve dps class and maybe you're doing something wrong but earth is a beast with the right hands in pvp.

I got beat by a few Earth tanks and dps so bad that I wanted to come crying to the forums like everyone else does when they lose,lol. But I'd rather just learn from my losses and get better
