Marxgorm: the NT toolset does not fit into my raiding tactics
Speaking as a sloobie nt that doesn't even have ns2....fixers are almost always very easy. The 7(or w/e) seconds of nuking that ns1 provides are more than enough to down a fixer by spamming TotP. If you really have trouble with fixers, try going def focus.
As for def focus damage output...it is extremely similar to off focus, due to TotP having a very short cooldown time. Additionally, it gives you a bit more utility with rooting. What def focus DOES kill, is any alpha ability that you may have, limiting your damage to high sustained, instead of one big burst.
defensive focus is all about timing, init's, and the agg/def bar I've killed enough 200 triple noobs with my 170 NT to know it happens. triple noob NT's are 1 trick ponies, once you figure them out, they're toast.
now, if any of them were worth a crap and learned how to use defensive focus, man that would be a nightmare ><
*a common myth: when you see a triple noob 200 NT use NBG, don't waste your alpha.. WRONG! sink that whole damn thing into his NBG and suck his nano pool dry! he's totally defenseless after that, and won't even have Shelter, along with a nano pool dot. he's hit his nano regain perks, which wont do much during the dot, and he may try to sit for a battle kit, look for that and root him while he's sitting, and finish him off not too many 200 NT's even push Q, or know that would stand them back up ^^ most of them just panic and try running away.
NT's huh? If you die to a triple from a 200 NT, wait till they can use IU+Double on you.

A Producer's point of view
Well I've played NT for a while now and yeah. Now that I've tried the dark side for a while (nt is 213 so yet to see the best of it I believe) I can testify to everyone who doesn't have an nt but thinks that they are totally op that they are indeed as op as they seem.
And on topic. Yes level 200 double x2 kills many many classes in bs. It gets so boring so quick. Alot of them don't even bother to run. They just wait for death. Which incidentally only takes a few secs. How anyone can defend this kind of overpoweredness and total skill less kind of pvp is beyond me.
I guess some ppl just love easy mode.

That was his "off topic" part of the post, and it being off topic probably meant that he was talking generally about the NT toolset opening at 215. This is after all where the damage in PvM gets good for NT's.
Remember the topic of this thread is lvl 200 NT's and their shiny "new" (level rec 200) doubles and triples.
On topic: I think that making the triples and doubles have their level lock changed to lvl 201 would help a lot. NTs running around bs using the lvl 165 (?) triples and doubles wouldn’t be as bad IMO. There are several other professions who has to gain lvl 201 to unlock their next "level" buffs, why not NT's?
Tripples aint buffs, they are weapons. There are no lvl locks for weapons for lvl 200 characters. You can run around with ql 300 dpanther on enf or kyr axes or whatever, ql 300 cobra on agent, ql 300 silverback on trader, ql 300 engi pistols on ... engi (who would have thought, eh?, well you can at lvl 150 anyway) and i can guarantee you that every single of those toons will alphakill you just as fast as nt does. Lvl 200 is in fact top peak of NTs pvp career, way, way better than lvl 220. I cant see the reason to nerf it tho. Who would ever use tripples with lvl 201 lock and what for? After lvl 200 there is no pvp inside BSs because they dont run, no NW / city pvp because you are getting instaowned by tl7s and for duels no one uses le nukes anyway except vs solds.
I wouldnt mind loosing tripples (especially that ive never used them, doubles are way better ) for lowbie detonation matix and shorter ai dot execution tho. AO is alpha based game, its like counter strike or something like that. From 220 NTs perspective pvp encounter looks like that: i see a target, pop ns2 (2s), nr debuff once for low nr profs (2s) or twice (4s), execute ai dot (3-4s) and then killing process begins with DM (instacast, no recharge) and first nuke (2s execute time). Thats 10s/12s with pretty much no dmg at all. In def focus on new faster BS enviroment i often end up BS with no kills at all, even tho i really try to do my best. I just get KSed by other people using special hits from their weapons. My targets are usually dead before i even start doing any dmg. At lvl 200 it looks similar except there is no DM and nano execution times are even longer with lower nano init so dmg starts after 12-14s(?). If you want to take le nukes away im fine with it but there needs to be something given in exchange for apha strikes because with no alpha in ao you are ... nothing .
