so elec/sd brutes can be decent in pvp if built right?

My question is more of "What can I do while I'm at 50". I am enjoying the game's story and mish's, but I wanted to know was there something interesting to do and something to reap rewards from once I've gotten 50.

I recently upgraded from the trial to a full subscription and the question arose in my head after playing one of my characters, what exactly is there to do end game? Primarily PvE because PvP is just bashing each others heads in, which is enough fun and reward in itself to beat someone else, but what do you get out of PvE end game and what do you do in PvE end game? Strike teams?

Sonic/ is pretty solid for PvP, PvE, and leveling, but I am stuck on which secondary to take. Which secondary would be most viable with Sonic/ pvp wise between /dark, /therm, /rad? Mainly for just zone PvP and the occasional arena.

Edit: If their are any other secondaries that meshes well with Sonic/ do tell. Those three were just the ones i distinguished from looking at threads over this forum.

The brutes you listed won't do too well.

MC Doms are good, pair it with elec

Corruptors are better than Defenders now because of no unresistable debuffs and corrs have scourge

Elec/therm
rad/cold
sonic/cold

[/ QUOTE ] Why doesn't Sonic/Rad make that list?

Stalker DB is better than any other DB for PvP thanks to Build Up (which the other DBs lack). That said, DB ends up as a crappy version of Stalker Claws (Focus gets you so many kills it's ridiculous).

I've faced off against many Ninja Blade Stalkers in PvP, they are one of my least-feared opponents in PvP. Very subpar.

If you want a Stalker that brings the pain in PvP, go with the #1 kid: Energy Melee. Rumors of EM's death have been greatly exaggerated. It's still king of single target burst damage, and that's what Stalkers specialize in. EM effectively has two "assassin strikes". If your real AS misses or is ineffective for whatever reason, go right into Energy Transfer/Total Focus and do almost as much damage. No doubt abut it: it's a killer set in PvP.

Spines can be good in PvP as well. I'll include Claws at this level, too. They have ranged attacks, and this has much utility in PvP. These sets can get kills even EM can only dream of due to that range.

Honorable mention goes to Dark Melee. Stalker DM has Build Up, so the cruddiness of the Tanker/Scrapper/Brute version is a non-factor, and let's admit it: hitting people with a big skull is just plain cool. In theory, it should be nearly as effective as Energy Melee, but it is almost never played in PvP for some reason. Perhaps someone can explain why this is. (Perhaps it's due to it's "also ran" status compared to EM? If you roll DM, why not just go all the way and roll EM instead?)

[/ QUOTE ] Most people probally roll it because it looks cool or fits their concept. I'm most likely rolling it also for the same reasons hopefully its viable in PvP though.

How about Nin/nin?

I been reading a few post, mainly I've seen people putting DB down the list for PvP is this true?

I am currently new to CoX just bought a sub liking the game so far but I have all of a sudden wanted to roll a brute because I've thought of a new concept.

So I wanted to know is elec/ only PvE viable because of the AoE damage and not much ST? Same question for DM/ is it only viable in PvE, because I plan on primarily PvE'ing but I wouldn't mind fitting zone or arena PvP in for those slow nights.

It kind of doesn't go with my character concept but I guess I might as well get SS later on.

I understand elec/ is a AOE and not ST, and that it does pretty good damage in PvE, I don't suspect it to be G mode in PvP but can it work there too or will I get worked by ranged? If not elec/ what about DM/. I plan on taking /SD as a secondary now.

I am currently level 12 and I see alot of PvP'ers with ethier SJ or SS. I currently have a point in hover and plan on taking flight, but I wanted to know is it essential to have ethier SS or SJ in PvP or will flight be good enough.

I just made a elec/therm most to try it out. I might be going with this.

Hello, I am fairly new to this game and still testing out most of the classes to figure out which one fits me best. Currently I am looking for a PvE centric build, but one that will also fair well in PvP when I get bored. From what I've heard about PvP I am sort of guessing a Pve Centric/keep me alive in zone PvP build is probally impossible to find, but it doesn't hurt to ask I guess. Any suggestions on which one between fire/kin, storm, or dark to take?

Also another thing, from what I've heard about Kin is that it is a group's first invite priorty, but has a steep learning curve for a rather new corrupter. Will this pose a problem for me getting in groups because I am not /kin?

I'm probally going to end up going SS/WP for being viable both in PvE single target and for some PvP when I'm bored.

pvp is terrible in this game. if you're that bored, make another brute

the only secondary that can deal with stone melee's insane endurance costs after you start slotting io sets for global recharge is /wp..with stamina.

Electric Armor and Energy Aura both handle it better than Willpower.

[/ QUOTE ] Hmm ok I'm sure about stone for primary because most of what I'm doing is PvE not much PvP just here and there but which would you prefer Elec Armor or Energy Aura?

Is stone a little viable for some PvPing when I'm not PvE'ing?

Well right now I'm having troubles deciding between SS and Stone. So far they both seem viable, to me at least.

I am fairly new to brute and CoX and I have been through a number of classes, testing them out before I choose a main. I have tested out the brute before and was unsatisfied but now I have decided to give it another chance and try it. Basically what I'm looking for in my main is a Single Target Damage build that can get me through level and end game PvE with some PvP when I'm bored. So far I've heard some things about Stone being good single target damage and SS being sort of like a all around primary? I'm not entirely sure, but I wanted to know what would be a good Single target damage set that would fit my preferences for later levels also.

Alright thank you for the help.

I picked hover at least I think I did, but I clicked powers to check and see if anything was to the right but nothing was there just my same old skills.

I recently hit level 6 on my trial account and put a point into hover but I can't seem to find it, so I can't put it on my tray. Can anyone help because it is really frustrated I tried google'n it for the last hour found nothing and even searching on the forums still nothing.
