I hate you phoebe... I... Hate...you

I love her, but I hate the threshold to use her properly in PvP myself. Either you´re killing everything or you get killed every 2minutes feeding EXP to the enemies - which is what I usually end up doing -.-

I guess I´m just a really bad PvP-Phoebe, which is sad since I love her in PvE and I always get slaughtered in PvP by other Phoebes who seem to have 300% of my attackspeed…
Wonder how, since I use her legendary + vow of vengeance + attackspeed/movementspeed gear and have no output alike those Phoebes I met on the battlefield :unamused:

Whats your reason to hate her?

#3

I love the Phoebs… My highest win rate is with her and mostly use her when I’m serious now. She is the Best! Sorry OP :confused:

#4

Pretty much what I thought when I saw this.

I’m not claiming overpowered, and I have no problem with other people liking her but I just can’t stand fighting her. Like @Ganjamira said, it feels like her skill progress feels a bit out of whack. But what web I just hate fighting her. Feels like I just need to assume I lose the encounter

#6

I’m getting better, but there are sooo many characters I see people just wreck face with, and then when I try to do it, oh the fails are so epic and embarassing!

Met a very reckless pheobe today, must have been running defensive gear. She got killed a few times by over extending but managed to kill me as Ambra a bunch of times. I couldn’t escape her slow, my healing or damage wasn’t enough and the team didn’t do much to get her off me before it was too late. She got at least 16 kills and their team won.

Awww… Phoebe’s not so bad.
I dated Phoebe once.
Once you get over the weird bug diet, she’s actually real nice.
Although she does have a weird thing with selfies… never looks directly at the camera.
I mean look at this…

She doesn’t smile for pictures either, BTW.
And she’s into like that weird… new age… hippie stuff. And yoga…
Still I’m glad she lived through the darkening of our star.
We’re Facebird friends. She’s married now. Some oriole.
Nice guy. Likes archery. Not my thing. Would probably get along well with Thorn…

Hold on…
You meant that LLC b***h didn’t you?
Yeah… screw her.
You don’t go rooting through someone else’s quarters for DNA samples.

The difference in attack speed you see could be a dubble attack speed gear (+ for 5 seconds after landing a melle hit) VoV is also great for phebe. They might also hit the lv 7 attack speed augment too. When i use her i try to stack as much attack speed on her as possible (followed by attack damage).

#11

Thanks for the tips :heart: - to be honest: I do use VoV + lv7 attack speed augment and I feel still like a snail compared to some Phoebes I met as rivals -.-
Maybe its just me being untrained against human players or there issome little stupid detail I oversee… More sure its my lacking playerskill, since my gear & helix aim purely for attackspeed/damage & movementspeed.

Well, at least in PvE I rock house with her^^

#12

Small tip: don’t use her lore legendary. Only affects the first attack after true strike. You can get better damage from other less expensive sources. Like Arcvynorr or a sprint speed and movement speed boots.
She’s getting buffed soon. Easier silence, more health. She can be shut down easily, or wrecks entire teams. Very high skill ceiling.

Thanks alot! I switched to a movementsp./attacksp. item a week ago since my Phoebe-loadout was far to expensive with two legendaries. Have´nt been on PvP with her since then, but I hope it makes things a bit easier^^
Its just frustrating to love a char, got her master title - and suck big time in PvP.

I rather go against a well played Phoebe than a well played Mellka…now THAT hurts…

#15

I think that the biggest difference gear wise is the Violent Endoskeletal Graft (Jennerit uncommon attack damage + attack speed on melee hit). It’s very cheap and outperforms A LOT of other possible items. VoV/VoZF are sub par on her imo, as they consume too much shards, which could be used to gain levels through buildables.

Pre level 6 you need to play safe and smart with her, and be very wary about when to commit and when to bail just like any other melee assassin. This is an acquired skill though and requires some practice.

Yeah this happens a lot.

Your just a poor innocent battleborn walking through overgrowth like “Those are some big mushrooms”

Then… wabwawawawa, shink, shink, shink, ha!, shink, shink, shink “No no no, I need more data!”

“Man so this is a what re-spawning is like”

#17

She’s squishy.
You holding down both her primary and alt fire at the same time? Gets a little hard to precision it, but doing so will automatically kick up true strike at end of melee combo then go back to main combo super smooth like butter.
Significantly increases your DPS.
Also, getting her first three mutations makes a huge difference in DPS and survivability.

#18

Phoebe hate? nope nope nope

After joining these Battlefly Scrims I still don’t understand why people aren’t screaming about Orendi.

note: Not saying Orendi needs adjusting, I’ve Mastered Orendi and enjoy that character a lot.

#19

A good Orendi player is worth screaming at.
Nothing like running a 24-6 KDR, AND leading the team in minion kills. And nuking the sentry once shields are down. And being decently agile to get away from tight situations.
I still stand by Orendi being the most balanced character in the game.
Minus Pillarstorm. I still think that mutation is grossly disgustingly powerful, but I still use it.

Eh, legendary load out vs building stuff/leveling faster. Phebe gains so much dps from VoV that i start racking up kills once i got it active (i have yet to try out VoZF though). I cant consider somthing that equals 2 max rolls attack damage gears (plus attack speed) sub-par to anything really, dispite it being tripple the cost. That said im a shard hog whos learned the timing for when the shards spawn and dont care if my teamates need them (so i tend to get all my gear up within 3-4 shard spawns).

#21

I’m just antsy to get that 6 x’D

It fits my style better with her, even though I tend to run doubly leggy + genny on almost everyone else. Maybe it has to do with the fact that the rest gives her mad movement speed and I can out dance almost any other Phoebe by level 3/4 or so.
